Reviews

the accommodation is as good as the picts you see on booking site . they have thought of every little detail amazing. As for friendliness just like family We found food good at George Borrow and Halfway Inn Good Supermarkets and Fuel Aberystwyth The site is very picturesque..

Mrs M,

We had a lovely week here, the owners were so kind and welcoming. The Cottage has everything you could need, a real home from home. It was spotless, the beds were super comfy and having the games room and hot tub were a real bonus. We would definitely recommend this holiday cottage if you want a quiet retreat away from the world.

Ms B,

We really enjoyed our stay and found the cottage and location exactly what we wanted. Our cottage had plenty of room and the addition of sauna and hot tub was a welcome treat after a day's walking in the gorgeous surrounding countryside. Our teenage kids loved the games room, particularly the pool and darts, and we would definitely recommend this property to others. A special mention to the landlords, Edryd and Jane, who were ever so helpful and genuinely lovely people. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

Mr E,

Absolutely fantastic holiday cottage Jane and Edryd are fantastic hosts stunning views hot tub and games room all fantastic will definitely be booking for next year Amazing place to stay

Mr B,

We absolutely loved our stay, cottage was in excellent condition and perfectly clean with lovely welcoming hosts. Stunning countryside views and great if you love a bit of bird spotting (look out for the wood pecker on the bird feeder). Facilities in the cottage are brilliant with a hot tub, games room, log burner and a sauna, so plenty to keep occupied. Great place to stay and relax that's within easy distance of Aberystwyth (20 min drive) and loads of nearby walks. Half way inn is a nice nearby pub/restaurant but only opened thurs-sun. Looking forward to our next stay already! P.S suitable for young families, with a cot and high chair available to use for free. Our 1 year old loved her stay!

Mr W,

Beautiful cottage beautiful scenery can literally see the sheep outside of the widows every window as a beautiful view . The owners were super friendly full of information on the property and of local things to do. The cottage itself was super cosy very clean with everything you would need for your stay even a washing machine with detergents to use which we wasn’t expecting but came in very useful We would definitely revisit and would very much recommend lastly but not least the owners cat made himself at home in our cottage sinsie was adorable and my girls fell in love with him as did we

Mr I,

A very cosy cottage with everything we needed. Hosts were lovely and made sure we were looked after

Mrs H,
