Visit Wales Comments: November 2019
"Zig Zag Cottage offers guests comfortable accomodation in what was once a film studio that has been represented by the owners and set close to the village amenities. The high ceilinged lounge with wood burner and pool table and its galleried dining area creates a wonderful initial impression. The quirky up/down nature of the proeprty adds to its charm. The high standards of housekeeping is a credit to the owners."
