Mr Eastwood-dunwell
July 2021

“Homely comfortable surroundings Relaxing beautiful setting”

- Mr Eastwood-dunwell, July 2021
Mr Duncan June 2021

“This is a comfortable cottage with plenty of room and in an attractive countryside setting; it would be a great base for a local walking holiday.”

However, the road communications are not great and major attractions are not so much far away, as taking a long time to drive to. Aberystwyth, the nearest town is disappointing, though good for supermarket-type shops. We enjoyed our time at Chestnut Cottage and found it relaxing, as we were blessed with good weather. The owners are helpful, friendly and unobtrusive. The local wildlife is good with rabbits in the next field, owls, squirrels and Red Kites. there is the occasional visit from other large hawks.

- Mr Duncan, June 2021
Miss Jones March 2021

“Lovely little place which has good walks around it and a great base for exploring the surrounding area.”

It was a lovely and comfortable place to stay and I would recommend it to others visiting the area. Be aware if there are any people in your group that are allergy sufferers that there are horses and dogs living on the premises.

Mrs Lake September 2020

“The satnav postcode sent us to a local farm, so please make sure you get accurate instructions when you get close to the cottage.”

- Mrs Lake, September 2020
Ms Rundle September 2020

“Kitchen very well provisioned with plenty of china & cutlery.”

Excellent size fridge/freezer. WiFi worked well. The wall mounted fire in the living room was not connected during our stay. Bed linen and towels both fresh & clean. Good storage in both double bedrooms excellent, but there's only hanging space in the twin room. There are no opening windows in one of the double bedrooms. A safe is provided for valuables if needed. Excellent living room space. Cottage has it's own space to the side of the owners' property, so it's nice & secluded. Plenty space for cars. Owner onsite but not intrusive, and responded quickly to a request for help with the Hoover (we had to cut the dustbag open after hoovering up a sock!). Quiet at night and you will hear owls & foxes

- Ms Rundle, September 2020
Mrs Lane September 2020

“Brilliant cottage in a stunning location, so peaceful and quiet.”

Facilities were great, kitchen extremely well stocked. We were left cake and coffee by the owner a very nice touch. Living room was lovely and the 3bedrooms were a good size. Bathroom was also lovely I would highly recommend.

Mrs Crompton November 2019

“Chestnut Cottage is in a beautiful location, surrounded by fields, hills and woods.”

The Cottage is part of an old dairy. Mrs Williams is an excellent host who keeps the cottage very clean and extremely well equipped. In fact, we couldn’t think of anything we needed other than warmer weather, but it was November! We would certainly recommend this cottage and the area.

- Mrs Crompton, November 2019
Mr White September 2019

- Mr Evans, July 2019
Mrs Crookes July 2019

“Everything was as described.”

No issues at all, a very comfortable house finished to a very high standard in an excellent location.

- Mrs Crookes, July 2019
Mrs Mold May 2019

“In a beautiful and quiet setting, the cottage was every bit as lovely as the pictures and extremely comfortable and well equipped.”

An ideal place to stay in any weather as the cottage has plenty of DVD’s and games etc and there is plenty of outside space too. Excellent places to visit are Devil’s Bridge and Bwlch Nant yr Arian, and we would highly recommend The Lord Beechings pub as a great place a to eat. Mrs Williams is a lovely lady and most helpful and we would definitely stay here again.

- Mrs Mold, May 2019
Mr Maher May 2019

“Cottage is fine and good value and not over priced, absolutely no complaints.”

To add a little more luxury, there is already plenty of luxury present perhaps some more low level lighting (table or floor lamp) in the lounge and a heating facility in the kitchen. But this is being picky and just suggestions - it was all we three needed and expected. Owner and family were most welcoming. Good location - watch your sat nav though - as in do not try to enter through a farmyard - you will end up at the wrong end of the estate by a padlocked gate! Very good most enjoyable

It was a beautiful place the best we have stayed at just one think it was really cold on arrival we but heating on but we just couldn't get warm so put the heating on before guest arrive but over all it was clean and tidy my daughter loved the coffee machine and the bath and her room and my son's loved the tv I would definitely come back in the summer sorry I didn't leve all tidy how I wanted but we had a wedding sorry I didn't Hoover thanks from Claire

- Mr Nelson, October 2018
Mr Jenkins October 2018

“An extremely well appointed and well presented cottage in a quiet location.”

Equally suited to use by a family or a couple of whatever age although, due to it's location, a car is a must for getting about. There are some walks in the woods near by and within the estate. The cottage is well equipped with games etc for any rainy days and is centrally heated for chilly nights. Children will enjoy the little child sized summer house in the small enclosed garden and there is an outdoor dining area just by the back door and ample car parking space right outside the front of the cottage.

- Mr Jenkins, October 2018
Mrs Adam September 2018

“This accommodation is furnished to a very high standard, quality fittings and furnishings.”

The facilities are excellent.

- Mrs Adam, September 2018
Ms Pound September 2018

“We were truly happy that the cottage was so comfortable and luxurious, for two reasons.”

Firstly, because it was a pleasure to stay somewhere that is so special and, secondly, thanks to Storms Helene, Ali and Bronagh, nobody minded coming back early! Mrs. Williams is the perfect hostess, friendly, helpful and welcoming without being intrusive. The same is true of the rest of the family that we met. Some unexpected delights included the generous welcome tray, the Tassimo with a good supply of pods and the extremely well equipped kitchen. The whole cottage is tastefully furnished and decorated (can't say it's a home from home because it's better!). Would definitely stay here again if we return to this area.

- Ms Pound, September 2018
Mr Salisbury August 2018

“Extremely well renovated cottage in a quiet and secluded area.”

Very surprised by size of property and quality of furniture . Large well appointed kitchen with everything needed to host a quality dinner party . Everything in this property impressed us . BBQ area and garden overlooking horses grazing with seating and gazebo were excellent. Free WiFi better than most hotels. Also numerous sky tv channels for those rainy days and a cupboard full of games to enjoy. Unconditionally recommended by us.

- Mr Salisbury, August 2018
Mr Fleet July 2018

“The preace and the quiet and helpfulness.”

- Mr Fleet, July 2018
Ms Hill June 2018

“Lovely cottage, nice location and very friendly hosts.”

We had a lovely time at Chestnut Cottage and I'm sure we will be back. Couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay.

- Ms Hill, June 2018
Mrs Heuer May 2018

“Please change the mail with directions to the cottage.”

They are not clear, at least 5 people wrote so in the visitors book. If you use a navigator there is a high chance that you arrive from a different direction and you need to call the owner in a place where there is almost no phone reception.

- Mrs Heuer, May 2018
Mrs Bishop October 2017

“This was a lovely holiday cottage,couldn't fault it,equipped to a very high standard.”

The only negative was it was a little difficult to find, the directions need to be more detailed, but other than that,perfect.

- Mrs Bishop, October 2017
Mrs Brown July 2017

“Welcoming owner who was available if anything was required (which it wasn't).”

Also owner did not intrude on our privacy and left us alone to enjoy our holiday. Have stayed in this cottage twice now and still would go back

- Mrs Brown, July 2017
Miss Lewis May 2017

It is like home from home and very well equipped. It is very child friendly and the den is brilliant. The owner is very helpful and personable. We felt very comfortable and at home there. We would definitely book again.

- Mrs Danks, April 2016

We didn't want for anything. We received a warm welcome from the owner who was easy to contact and responded very quickly if we had any concerns.

- Mrs Brown, March 2016
Mrs Hinchcliffe November 2015

“Well, what a lovely cottage the Chestnut cottage is!”

We loved the living area, so spacious, the table seated six with plenty of room. Our 14 month old enjoyed playing hide and seek in the house there were plenty of places to hide and room for him to explore! We absolutely loved the little playhouse in the 'children's garden' outside. So so adorable and plenty for children to do in there. Also lots of thought gone into providing games/DVDs/Books for all ages. Area was also lovely, horses in the field behind the house, at the end of the drive, turn right and over the bridge there is a river with walks. Further afield Aberystwyth is lovely for castle ruins on the sea front, Hafod Estate is an absolute must for those who enjoy walking, forests, waterfalls and generally beautiful scenery (Even in the rain I might add, since it rained every day we were there)! Devils Bridge was nice also but do note that there are also lovely waterfalls at Hafod Estate which you can access for free/£2 for map. This cottage was such a homely place to return to each day.

- Mrs Hinchcliffe, November 2015

Dr Lewis May 2015

“The property was a well appointed and cosy cottage.”

“We had a fantastic time with our three young children, ages 4, 3 and 10 weeks.”

The seaside resort of Borth is just 7 miles away, with its 3 miles of sandy beach and an Animalarium to keep all ages amused. With the ruins of Aberystwyth Castle close by, welsh craft centers and stunning countryside to explore, this is a perfect base for a well-deserved break
