    “Melin Bach is a beautiful, comfortable cottage set in stunning surroundings.”

    It has everything you need for a holiday away from it all. If you sit in the garden all you can hear are birds and sheep! Paul and Caroline, the hosts, live on site and are friendly and welcoming and happy to recommend places to go to locally. There are beautiful beaches and places to visit in the surrounding area and the most glorious walks. We have stayed here twice this year and have enjoyed every moment. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful country retreat this is the perfect place.
