Reviews

Lovely cottage in fantastic position with amazing views

Mrs H,

We absolutely loved staying here! We didn't have the best weather but couldnt have asked for a better host and location. The view from the hot tub over looking Dyfi estuary and cader Idris are spectacular on a clear day. Was the best way to spend my 30th.

Miss B,

We had great stay at your cottage. Hot tub was ready from the first minute of our arrival! 37.5 degrees was the water temperature, so nice. Log burner was actually my favourite, we had enough wood to keep the magical evenings. Can you think about anything better than coming out from the hot tub and popping into living room where the log burner is on? Thanks for having us. Maybe we will see you again in summer? Cheers, Marek and the family

First the views are fantastic. Then the weather was fantastic. The cottage was very cosy and ideal for a family holiday, which we had. Lots to see and do. Beautiful beaches and stunning views everywhere we go. We'd love to come back.

Loved staying here! Great cottage, stunning scenery and hot tub! Didn't want to leave. Walked loads, explored parts of Wales we'd never been before. So peaceful here, many thanks.

Slice of paradise. For us, what we have been looking for years. Everything we wanted waking up listening to the birds, cows and sheep. Fabulous views. Beautiful countryside, lovely people. Highly recommend to family and friends. Hope to return in the future.

Lovely cottage and location! We all had the best time! Highlights costal walks from Aberystwyth. We will be back soon!

Past Customer,

What a perfect location to explore this region. Who cares what the weather brings, although it was pretty good; even some sunshine. Such a comfortable cottage, and the kitchen range was great for one-pot slow cooking, while keeping things cosy. Thank you.

Past Customer,

Had a fabulous few nights in this beautiful house. Lovely views, so peaceful. Hot tub was great even in the chilly weather. Lovely walks from the house with the dogs. Nature reserve, waterfalls Hafod estate was a great place for walks and Devils bridge. Would recommend friends to come and stay here, cosy nights in by the fire, playing games, and family time thank you so much to the owners.

Past Customer,

For us it was a slice of paradise. Could do with a deep clean all over the cottage.

Mrs Ruth S,

it was exactly what we were looking for, relaxing, really quiet, close of the nature

Mr Cedric B,

Just a fabulous place to stay.

Mrs Suzanne M,

Beautiful location that was very peaceful. Views were stunning- particularly in the snow There were fantastic walks straight out of the house to take the dog. With 5 adults and a toddler there was loads of space in the house. The owner was great and very helpful.

Mrs Clare H,

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Beautiful peaceful location. Loved the log burner and hot tub - just perfect. Ideal for our little dog with the fully enclosed garden - she enjoyed her trip as much as we did!

Mr Lisa R,

A relaxing family break in a beautiful house set in stunning countryside with a view of the sea. The hot tub was great too. We visited Aberystwyth, Machynlleth on market day (Wed), Borth & Clarach. We went on the Rheidol steam railway to Devils Bridge and to the Corris Craft centre (lovely Welsh Rarebit in the cafe here).
