Congl Cae Reviews

A wonderful cottage in an excellent location. We loved every minute and explored the peninsula from this base.
Laraine
The holiday home was exactly as promised. We had a great time and the annex with the pool table was fantastic for giving the children something to do. In fact we never really saw them except when we went out. Lovely and clean throughout and really comfortable. The hot tub was a big hit with adults and children alike. Would love to come back sometime.
We have had a fabulous 2 week stay here at the property, the property is well maintained and has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The only problem we found was the access to the property the bushes are very over grown and could do with cutting back to make it safer to pull out into the road. This would not stop us staying here again the views are amazing.
The house was lovely and well stocked, it was lovely and clean. The back garden was a little over grown. The hot tub was great but I felt that it needed a clean
Stephen
Excellent property for a large family. Comfortable and roomy with a hot tub and pool table which the kids enjoyed. Relaxing sea views. We were pleased we booked this property for our family holiday. Its close to beaches and pub which served good food. We made happy memories here thank you. One negative feedback would be the vacuum left for us to use was full and totally blocked.
Just perfect. ps. 2 wine glasses were broke by my grandson kicking is ball and landing on a patio table! please let me know how much i owe you and ill tranfer. best wishes david.

Lovely cottage in great locationideal for our large family group would suggest another fridge possibly in the utilty room or annexe as having two babies with us we ate in every nightmostly BBQ's as the weather was glorious but it was difficult to keep both large amounts of fresh stuff and drinks cold for ten people Also we had a major issue with the bins being left overflowing by the previous renters when we arrived on the Friday Large bin only emptied on the Wednesday and small bin not at all which meant keeping our rubbish bagged in the utility room for almost the entire holidaywe left on the Thursday
