The Farmhouse Reviews

Shirley

I stayed here over the May Bank Holiday weekend with two friends and it was wonderful! The location is stunning with gorgeous views and so tranquil and quiet all you can hear is the nature around you! The layout of the house was perfect and it was super clean and tidy, all above our expectations! I would definitely consider visiting again and would love to come back with my family but we would need to be able to bring our dog and I don't think pets are allowed which is such a shame. I would highly recommend this house!

Elizabeth

We really enjoyed our stay and it was one of the nicest places we have stayed. We really appreciated how well equipped it was. A couple of minor things were that the tumble dryer smelt very musty, we washed out the reservoir which improved this. The sofas and the double mattress weren't especially comfortable, perhaps they're nearing the end of their life. But generally it was great

Rebecca

Another glorious stay. We love the setting and the openplan living. The shower is one of the best weve ever had in a rental and the hot tub is always a hit.

Lovely cottage and friendly owners. The view is wonderful! The cottage is well finished and has a lovely feel Highlights are the kitchen, hot tub and space inside. Things to be aware of the WiFi does not connect tv apps or devices. The sofas are very low so getting up and down is a challenge, a cupboard or drawer for groceries would be useful and towels for the hot tub would help with some outside hooks.

Bethany

Lovely house in a quiet area. Local to amenities and some lovely pubs. Owners were lovely and very friendly. Would definitely recommend to others!

Great stay and really nice cottage only 10 mins from the town centre. Only issue was finding the cottage. On the map on sykescottages app, the location icon is completely off and had us lost for an hour trying to find the cottage. To make matters worse there is barely any service to look online or call anyone so a bit of a mess there. Other than the map needing updating with more accuracy the stay was 1010

The house was lovely, had everything your needed and more would definitely recommend and we will certainly will go back

Beautiful cottage in a brilliant location. Thank you we had a brilliant weekend.

Homecraft lovely, despite storm Darragh. Everything you need for an amazing stay. Just a couple of comments, sharp knives in stand not sharp, not a big issue but may not have been aware. And a set of extra towels for hot tub would be nice. But that's all. Will ne back Thank you

Adrian

Lovely cottage great location friendly helpful owners made us feel comfortable ... Lovely cottage great location friendly helpful owners made us feel comfortable spacious layout great views right next to the river hot tub was a welcome relief after a long day out exploring and walking in Aberystwyth will definitely be back and we had the best weather ever especially as it was November thanks really enjoyed our stay

We enjoyed our stay and would like to visit again, the house was very cosy and warm for November. The owner was very caring and helpful.

Phillip

We were enthusiastically welcomed by Elaine and Owen and all questions asked were answered quickly. We were made to feel at home which added to our happy and relaxed holiday at The Farmhouse. The property was roomy, immaculate and the equipment provided left nothing wanting. The Farmhouse sits in a beautiful area and there is no shortage of places to visit and things to do to keep visitors busy for a fortnight or longer.

Absolutely fabulous clean cottage with a very nice host in a lovely country. The next bigger town Aberystwyth takes just over 10 minutes. The HotTub was our highlight. Highly recommended.

We had a fabulous holiday. Property was very well equipped and the location superb. Loads of things to do in the vicinity. Would love to return.

Just the most relaxing accommodation you could wish for, superbly situated next ... Just the most relaxing accommodation you could wish for, superbly situated next to the river Rheidol with an amazing hot tub from which to appreciate the tranquility, Aberystwyth is a 10 minute drive away, and the amazing New Quay a 45 minute journey, local country walks are an option as situated in a lovely rural spot, overall we couldn't fault the whole experience of our break and will definitely be returning

Very comfortable farmhouse, lovely and warm. Great location. Great facilities. The kitchen needs free cupboard space to put groceries in freeing up counter top space.

A fabulous place in a beautiful setting. The Farmhouse is clean and very comfortable with plenty of open plan space.

Rebecca

WOW! This place is a jewel. I'm just glad we found a place we want to return to again and again. Beautiful surroundings and wonderful hosts.

Iliyan

Absolutely fabulous spot in the heart of nature that you will fall in love with. Perfectly clean, spacious, comfy beds with heavenly bedding. Everything about this place was fabulous

Lovely place to stay to relax and unwind, very close to local amenities and only short drive from Aberystwyth, the owners were lovely and I would definitely recommend the farm house to everyone!

Audrey

The farmhouse was wonderful, very clean and spacious . We had a lovely relaxing time there.The hot tub is a treat as was the outdoor swimming which is a short walk from the house. The owners were very welcoming . There is lots to do and see within a short distance from the farmhouse.We would definitely return . Can recommend this property without hesitation.

George

Absolutely fantastic property.

Faisal

Had a lovely holiday at the farmhouse. Very clean, perfectly situated and great hosts. We've stayed in a few cottages in Wales and this is definitely one id recommend to anyone whether your adults alone or a family. The kids loved every minute and adults had time to relax and unwind. The views are absolutely amazing such a great location definitely due a return.

The property was absolutely stunning and completely exceeded our expectations. The location is easy to get to and beautiful. The owners of the property as lovely and very helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wished we had booked for a longer period. We will definitely be back for sure! The only small feedback we would give was we were surprised the remaining 2 rooms both had 2 single beds. Which was absolutely fine for it being just the 2 of us, but if we were to bring other family members, one of the other rooms having a double bed would have been much more appealing.

We had a lovely stay at The Farmhouse. It was beautifully decorated and very clean. We were received with a warm welcome from the owners. Would highly recommend!

Andrew

Lovely place, was spacious and well equipped. Owners close by and friendly. Nicely situated in countryside for peaceful stay and beautiful stary nights while close to seaside town of Aberystwyth.

Natalie

Gorgeous location and very welcoming hosts. This property is absolutely wonderful, everything you need is provided for. There is a river pool a few hundred meters from the end of the garden, where we swam daily, it is idyllic. Comfy beds, great showers and the hot tub was amazing. We visited local eateries recommended by the owners which did not disappoint. Aberystwyth was close by and we canoed on the sea and down the river. There is lots to do locally and the property is really outstanding. We will definitely return and continue our adventures.

Terrie

This is our second visit I really hope it won't be our last. Fabulous house with countryside all around. So relaxing and peaceful. Hot tub is amazing. Everything in the house, furniture, bedding, bathrooms etc first class. Lovely having a chat with the hosts again. So friendly and extremely helpful. It was much needed week of relaxation for us. Perfect!

What a fantastic place to switch off and unwind! Inside, the house is modern, clean and comfortable. Outside is beautiful, green and peaceful. The hot tub was great after long walks, of which there are plenty nearby. The beds are incredibly comfortable, it felt like sleeping on a cloud. The showers are nice and powerful. The kitchen was very well equipped. Our son loved the river which is accessible via some steps a short stroll from the house. He spent hours paddling, skimming stones and searching for insects. The owners were friendly and helpful and not at all intrusive. The place feels so rural and yet you are only a very short drive away from Aberystwyth where there are some good restaurants, supermarket etc. This was undoubtedly one of the best properties we have stayed at and we certainly hope to be back!

Gareth

We had an lovely stay here on a family holiday. The property was beautifully decorated and had everything that we needed. Elaine and her husband were on hand to help, not that we needed them. The hot tub set up with the pagoda and lights was great with relaxing views. Would highly recommend!

Stephanie

Beautiful property, wonderful owners, stunning location. Very well equipped, comfortable furnishings, spacious and spotlessly clean. The hottub was divine, with amazing views of the valley and the Red Kites flying by. The River is crystal clear and has a pool nearby you can swim in. Lovely walks and lots to do with the family close by.

The farm house is lovely very warm with the underfloor heating. the river outside was a great feature which Im sure would be lovely in the summer

Manuela

We had a much needed fantastic and restful time over Christmas. The house was clean, well equipped and cosy. The area is simply beautiful and the hot tub a huge bonus even when cold outside. The only improver would be on the WiFi but otherwise it was perfect for us!

Charlotte

This property is just fabulous. We have stayed in many holidays lets before but this beats them hands down. Its not just its fabulous picturesque location, yet still with amenities on the door step. Its also its cleanliness, the attention to detail, no expense has been spared on making this place amazing!

We had the best time away! Absolutely loved staying here, everything we needed was provided, beds were really comfy and the hot tub was amazing. I have nothing but good words for this place, will most definitely be returning! Thank you so much.

Christopher

My wife and I along with 2 friends spent 3 nights in this property and we couldnt have asked for more. The property itself was beautiful and clean with everything we could have asked for. We mentioned to the owners we had recently got married and they went out of their way to buy us champagne which we thought was a wonderful touch. We would definitely recommend this property and will be looking to go back again

This is a beautifully built and warm house, with great specifications,in an excellent location, The river views from the house are spectacular and ever changing with the amount of rainfall. The area is one of outstanding beauty with lots of places to visit, all within a short distance. Watching the red kites feeding just down the road at Nant yr Arian was amazing. The house itself is very well equipped, and we coped easily with the diminished supply of crockery etc due to Covid 19. The hosts could not be more helpful, not intrusive but available if needed. I look forward to another holiday in this beautiful house.

Where to start, a beautiful setting for a truly wonderful cottage. It was fab, everything you could wish for and more, the hot tub was excellent, perfect setting looking out onto the river. Nothing but complete praise for the lovely owners who made us feel extremely welcome and have created a lovely place to completely chill and relax. Had a couple of meals at the Halfway Inn, beautiful homemade food well worth the 'uphill' journey. Thank you again to Mr and Mrs E for being lovely hosts, we will be back
