“Just back from a brilliant weekend stay.”

Asked to be able to check in an hour early to decorate for a birthday and was able to do so. Met by a gentleman who showed us around. We were happy with the farmhouse it was beautiful. Lots of space for us all and plenty of space in the kitchen and extra freezer space. 3 downsides very dark to get to the hottub, however we didnt use it as much as we would have liked as the screen to navigate for the jets/lights etc was showing locked and couldnt get them to work, after 2 people had a shower ...

But amazing stay and would definitely return!! Also reccomend the hafod inn a few minuted down the road, sunday lunch was beautiful and very friendly!!!

“The farmhouse is a beautiful house, we very much enjoyed the stay.”

We especially liked the huge hot tub which was quiet so we got it to ourselves. It was disappointing that the pictures used in the listing did not match the house, in the pictures there is a pool table and pictures of different rooms inside which must be in one of the other properties on the plot.

“Absolutely loved the cottage, it had everything we needed.”

However there was 7 of us staying over the weekend and the hot water had run out for showers in the morning so a couple of us had cold showers. We had a fantastic time staying here. The hot tub was amazing, however could do with lighting going from the farmhouse leading the way as it was very dark. We stayed for a hen weekend and booked in for cocktail making at The Libertine in Aberwyswyth. Highly recommend this, it was fantastic! Gary's Cabs also very reliable and friendly. The Hafod hotel food is absolutely lovely!

Sykescottages.co.uk/cottage/Mid-Wales-Cardigan-Bay-Devils-BridgePontarfynach/The-Farmhouse-973362.html First the bad : The listing is inaccurate, the pictures associated with the farmhouse are incorrect, with pictures 9-11 being for a different property. The description of the layout of the rooms is also incorrect, with one room on the ground floor and the remaining rooms actually being located upstairs. The bed which we had sleeping downstairs was 2 singles together which were quite uncomfortable and at slightly different levels to each other, reports from others were that their beds were comfortable. The kitchen could do with cooking utensils to cater for large groups of people as there is only a couple of plans available, luckily we brought pans and baking trays of our own, otherwise we would have struggled to cater for our group. There is no pool room in the farmhouse at indicated by the pictures, this is in a different complex of buildings which accommodates 38 people. As there were a large number of guests staying in the other building it was very awkward to use the hot tub as it was already full of strangers and a mentioned in other reviews there is no lighting in the hot tub area or between the hot tub and the farmhouse. We stayed from Friday for 3 nights, on the Sunday at around 11am the water stopped working so half our group were unable to shower or flush the toilets and this wasn't fixed once we returned later in the afternoon for lunch, before midday of us actually left the property to head home around 3pm. The good: The farmhouse itself is an amazing accommodation, the living room with the fire is a great place to host large groups and it's really comfy and warm. The fire was laid before we arrived and was easy to start ourselves the next day as well. The bedrooms are all as shown, the kitchen is amazing with 2 large cookers, 4 ring burners and 4 induction rings as well as a large fridge. The overall finish of the property is to a very high standard. There is also a piano in the farmhouse which had we known we would have brought music for! The staff at reception were also great and couldn't help us enough during our stay. The area is beautiful and Devils Bridge has a fantastic trail to see the waterfalls (if a bit treacherous and steep). Price wise the property was fantastic value for money. Overall we were happy with the stay as the communal areas in the property were perfect and the price for a group of our size, was unbeatable. We were however disappointed by the location of the jacuzzi, the lack of access to the games room and the fact that we didn't know we would have to share these features with a heap of other people. The issue with the water was also highly inconvenient. I hope this helps the owners and future guests.

Thank you for your feedback. I understand that a member of your party did make contact with the owners via email on several occasions prior to arrival regarding the layout of the property and the facilities on offer, to which the owner was happy to respond providing floor maps. We are sorry if you feel that the information provided was incorrect, it is not our intention to misrepresent our properties and we do not feel that this is the case in this listing. The owners thank you for bring to their attention the kitchen facilities, they are currently reviewing this to make improvements where they feel necessary. The games room is situated in the atrium along with the large dining area where you can hold social gatherings. This room , along with the hot tub, is communal facility for the use for all residents in the complex. The owners does a tour to all guests to show the facilities upon arrival and do offer guests the opportunity to use the facilities on a rota basis if they do not wish to share, I understand that this was offered to the first person who arrived in your party who declined this offer. The owners and their staff are on hand to assist at any time and the supervisor did speak to you several times during your stay but you didn't mention any of your concerns to them. It is regretful that the opportunity was not given to the owners to make any changes during your time there to ensure your stay was more enjoyable. Feedback is important to us and our owners to ensure that standards are maintained in all of our properties. We hope you enjoyed your time at The Farmhouse and that the points you raised didn't spoil your holiday, the owners look forward to seeing you again soon. Sykes owner relations

“Amazing time here!”

Everything was as listed. There would be a couple of improvements which would be around the hot tub area it would be great if there are lights but very difficult to get to it in the pitch black as it is not directly outside the lodge.

“Fabulous accommodation, staff on hand to answer any questions and give advice if needed.”

Absolutely stunning scenery and great location - close to the Hafod Estate for great walking, the Devil's Bridge waterfalls and Nany-yr-Arian to see the Red Kite feeding. Vale of Rheidol railway is close by and the Hafod Hotel is excellent for food.

About the location

DEVIL’S BRIDGE

Aberystwyth 12 miles.

Nestling between the Cambrian Mountains and the Cardigan Bay coastline, Devil's Bridge has been a tourist attraction for centuries and was celebrated by author George Borrow who wrote Wild Wales in 1854. This famous bridge spans the Mynach, a tributary of the River Rheidol and is unique as it is actually three bridges in one, the original built around 1100, the second above this in 1753 and the third in 1903. The bridge is at a point where the River Mynach drops 90 metres (300 ft) in 5 steps down a steep and narrow ravine before it meets the River Rheidol. The set of stone steps leading down to the lowest bridge at the waterfall are known as Jacob's Ladder. The attraction offers viewing points and after the steep walk there is a hotel and cafe for refreshments. Devil's Bridge is served by the Devil's Bridge railway station on the historic narrow-gauge Vale of Rheidol Railway, which opened between Aberystwyth and Devil's Bridge in 1902 and provides wonderful scenery along the ride to the coast. This whole area boasts stunning scenery and wildlife and is renowned for walking, cycling, fishing and bird watching as well as trips to the beautiful Cardigan Bay coastline with its wild cliffs and sandy beaches.

Please note: No stag or hen parties or similar
Please note this property has a refundable £450 Good Housekeeping bond.
