Guest comments
Oh the views!! From Worms Head right round to Tenby & amazing sunsets! A great relaxing break!

Clean & comfortable & soooh peaceful. Will definitely come back again.

Certainly lives up to its name- a true Paradise! And although we didn't have our own horses to bring it was lovely to walk the boundaries of the fields each morning & to see the horses in the neighbouring fields. To have all that extra space as your own was fab.
