Trefin is quite a bustling village with a post office, pub, an artist's gallery, a more general craft shop, and a couple of tea shops.

Given sufficient points in the grading process as would ordiniarly bring it within 5 star, but precluded from this as there is no dishwasher, the cottage has a living room open up to the rafters, with a log-burning stove to give an open yet truly cosy feeling. It also has a TV, video, DVD player, stereo CD/radio and French doors opening out onto a small garden with good quality garden furniture.
