2nd Dec 2021 Kat & Ewen Motorhomers Playing on the beaches with our little dog nipper. The Salt Marsh Lamb is a must if you're a meat eater. We bought a ½ leg from the shop @ Weobley Castle Farm. Thank you for our late booking and for being so accommodating kind and understanding. Wagtails is cosy and a perfect retreat. A mansion compared to our tiny home on wheels! Plus a bath and SKY Movies a treat. It was just what we needed while our home was in for repair. Frank & Betty are adorable and hope they bring you as much happiness as our dogs have (two hearts) "The Travelling Pilchards"

Oct/Nov 2021 Rob and Yvonne Sayer Llanmorlais Gower As always a beautiful area we lovfe the National Trust Walk down the peninsular ideal location for all of Gower. Thank you once again Dai and Heather for a very lovely very comfortable stay. We will recommend Wagtails to any visitors couples coming to South Wales. Thank you for your kind help and consideration. Anyone with a walking difficulty like myself would find Wagtails ideal inside. The dogs loved their stay as always. Our regard and best wishes Yvonne and Rob, Megan and Bryn (dogs)

16 Oct 21 Paul and Lyn Stapleford and Ruby and Chase the dogs Melksham Wilts Taking the dogs to Oxwich Bay where we could park on the beach also loved Port Eynon and Llangennith. Wagtails is perfect for two people and two dogs. Managed to everything we needed to do. Hope the new puppies behave themselves for you.

12 Oct 2021 Chris and Anne Chard Chippenham The walk out to the cast iron lighthouse at Whitstone Sands (Whiteford) is always special. Out through the nature walk and back along the beach. A long way but worth it. We hope they will repair the sea wall one day. As that is an even better route. Our 3rd time in Wagtails and always perfect. Had a lovely meal in the pub popped in the shop for pies. For our walks. Explored Three Cliffs Bay Spectacular Just what just what we needed Peace and Quiet. Thank you Dai & Heather for squeezing us in

9 Oct 2021 Margaret and Mark Thompson Oxford We've taken the lower hill path through Llangennith and caravans to Rhossili Beach before but this time returned along the coastal path north, through dunes. As we're pushing 80 so it was about 12 miles we were happy to have made it ! A first visit to Cefn Bryn, the backbone from Penmain was good. This is our third visit and we love it every time and findf new and familiar things to do. Thank you Heather for coping with all the cancellations last year over you know what and for finding us a slot.

Thank you Heather and Dai for another brilliant week here in Llanmadoc. Our first stay in Wagtails we always had Heather Cottage before. But we loved it just about everything you can need.
