“When we read the July 2020 review on the website we were so concerned we tried to 'phone to discuss it.”
On all three occasions we were in the system, queuing, for over forty minutes. We had to decide whether or not we still went Penrallt, but we really needed the break so we decided to go. We were forearmed so we took with us a large TV, padding for the sofa (a sun bed cushion), extra cushions, an outdoor table, Febreze, cleaning stuff and a potato peeler.
However, the owner had addressed most of the issues highlighted in the poor review and there was a potato peeler in virtually every drawer! Brand new patio chairs were in place and the curtains had been cleaned (we think). Overall, given our concerns, we were really surprised and pleased with the cottage. However, the sofa is incredibly uncomfortable and thank goodness for the cushions we took with us. The TV is small, but not awful.
On the plus side, the view is spectacular. We set our picnic table up in the window and ordered food to be delivered from Book a Cook Wales and we had the finest meals you could imagine. The cottage is just a ten minute walk to a lovely cove, the location is quiet and it is super warm. The beds are comfy and it was, overall, very clean. The owner had supplied binoculars which was a really thoughtful touch.
Normally, we change cottages each year but, if that sofa is changed, we would happily book again. At the end of the day, at the price per week of this cottage, comfortable seating is not a big ask.
