The hosts are really lovely, friendly and approachable if you have any questions. The cottage has everything that you would need for you break away. The hot tub is a lovely touch and has got a view of the fields and the river Severn. It's an ideal place to stay for visiting the area. We managed to go to the Big Pit museum (well worth a look around, also it's free entry), Weston-super-Mare, Bristol aerospace museum, The Mumbles and Barry Island.
