Really enjoyed our stay! The cottage was charming, perfectly situated near Aberystwyth and nearby coastal spots. Well decorated, fully equippedand the hot tub was a treat!
Emma
Really enjoyed the peaceful setting of this cosy cottage. It's well equipped, comfyand the hot tub was perfect for unwinding after a long walk!
Harriet
We had such a lovely stay at this charming cottage. The peaceful setting and gorgeous views really made it special. The place was beautifully decorated and felt very luxurious, with a perfect hot tub to unwind in while listening to the stream. Having our own garden and covered dining area was a real bonus. It served as a great base for exploring nearby spots. We definitely recommend it and are already looking forward to coming back!
Emma
This place is really lovely, with high-quality touches everywhere. It's tucked away in a quiet spot, but still close to beautiful countryside and coastlines. We enjoyed watching red kites glide above and bats at dusk right from the sofa. Honestly, one of the nicest stays we've ever had!
Emily Roberts
We had an amazing stay! The place was spotless, beautifully furnishedand the kitchen had everything we needed. A big thank you for that! Since we brought our 2-year-old, I'll mention a few kid-friendly spots we enjoyed. The boat trip for dolphin watching at New Quay was fantastic-our guide was super knowledgeableand we did see dolphins from the shore as well, which was exciting! The leisure centre in Machynlleth was a hit with the little one, especially the water slide and toddler swimming sessions. Nearby, there's a lovely park, gardensand cafes, perfect for relaxing. We also loved exploring Aberystwyth with its castle and parks, plus Aberdyfi's sandy beach is worth the short drive-great toilets and fish and chips! Ynyslas and Borth offered beautiful views and lovely walks. Thanks for a truly perfect holiday!
James
Beautiful countryside setting, charming cottage, loved it here!
Emma Clarke
We had an amazing stay! The setting is absolutely gorgeous-so peaceful and calm, it's just what we needed. Plenty of local spots to explore nearby too. The accommodation itself was top-notch, beautifully keptand really high quality. Relaxing in the garden or hot tub was perfect after a day out. Thanks for a wonderful break, we'll definitely be back!
Emma Roberts
The peaceful setting was perfectand the place had everything we needed. The hot tub was definitely a highlight too!
Emma Carter
The place is truly lovely, with comfy rooms and a peaceful vibe. Waking up to fresh breakfast outside each morning and drifting off to the gentle stream sounds was just perfect. Stargazing in such a clear sky was a real highlight. Can't wait to return!
Emma Clarke
