Ceilwart Cottage

Dust and cobwebs every where on television table no wifi down stairs beds uncomfortable down stairs

Excellent house and postion

Property has outstanding views.

We found we didn't love Barmouth itself due how difficult it is to get around in the town by car and it was a bit too far for us to walk there from the cottage. Fortunately the cottage was lovely so we spent a lot of time just being lazy.

Liked the cottage.

Very cozy. Property owner very friendly and helpful. Only problem I had was the aga, but that was down to user error.

We love this property, quiet with great views, warm, comfortable and has everything we needed.

The owner is lovely very helpful and friendly, this was our 3rd visit and we definitely plan to return next year.

Completely blown away by the view of Cardigan Bay from our beautiful cottage.

We had to cancel our visit to Ceilwartt cottage two years ago through ill health so delighted to finally get to visit this wonderful location.

Quiet and nice.

It was a perfekt place vor relaxing and also for some activities.

Beautiful setting and enhanced when the weather was nice enough to have the bi fold doors open.

Everything that a self catering holiday needed. We didn’t actually cook in but everything available. We had a slight issue with hot water ( probably self inflicted) but despite it being late the maintenance lady responded and it was easily solved. The description does say about the steepness of the lane up to the property but seeing is believing so need to be aware for elderly. Hence the beautiful view!! We met the owner and she was extremely friendly. The exit onto the main road could possibly be enhanced with the aid of a mirror. All in all an excellent week in the beautiful welsh countryside.

We had a superb stay at Ceilwart Cottage and trekking through the sheep fields each day in and out only added to the experience, the kids loved it!

We really enjoyed how much it felt like home from home after a long day out and about, so relaxing! The only thing we’d say is that we thought the log burner was a real one not electric but perhaps we mis-read this. Would highly recommend!

The cottage is located high up on the hills and it had a fantastic view of the Cardigan Bay.

We enjoyed the sunset on the first day from the balcony. There is no mobile network for a mile or two around that area (I don't think the owner can do anything about it). However, the cottage has got good Broadband connectivity, so we were able to get in touch with our friends and family through FaceTime or WhatsApp. Thanks a lot to Eileen, the Owner for gives us some teabags ( one of things we forgot to pack) and for letting us charge our electric car. I would recommend this cottage if you are planning on visiting Barmouth.

Our second visit, this is a lovely warm house, we were very grateful for the early check in.

We found we had everything we needed, plenty of space for our age group 24 to 92. Owner Elaine went to great lengths to help with smart TV issue. I'm sure we will be back.

The cottage is located in a very beautiful area and the views from it, over the bay are fantastic, especially in the evening.

We enjoyed exploring the town of Barmouth and the many local attractions. Unfortunately, we found (upon arrival) a lot of cobwebs in the house. The downstairs flooring - black tiles- were dirty, especially around the edges in the kitchen. This was particularly disappointing considering these issues had already been raised by previous occupants and have not been acted upon. (see past reviews) You will need to allow plenty of time if you are cooking in the Aga and be aware that the hot plates take a long time to warm up. The beds would benefit from some new pillows for comfort. We were left feeling rather disappointed by this accommodation, especially given the amount paid.

Lovely property & gardens.

Relatively comfy although the single beds are less so. The views are magnificent and that’s the biggest draw to the property. Being on the hill, it does provide a challenge if walking back from anywhere. The aga ovens take a long time to heat up & don’t cook very well so allow twice the time to cook anything. We found the place with quite a lot of cobwebs and some areas were dusty. It didn’t put us off but it could have cleaner. The owner & managers were lovely & helpful & we would consider coming back in the future.

Thanks for a lovely week in your fantastic cottage.

The view from the cottage is outstanding, so good that I stayed in the cottage many days enjoying the view and peace and quiet while the rest of my family went out and about! The Aga was great fun, none of us had ever never used one before but by the end of the week we were all quite taken with it. The sun room with the huge table was brilliant and we all spent a lot of time in there. We appreciated having two living rooms as the kids could watch their dreadful TV or play on consoles in one we could have a quiet read in the other one. We will definitely be coming back next year for more of the same.

Thank you for such a wonderful stay at Ceilwart cottage!

We really have fell in love with the beauty of this place! The area surrounding this cottage really makes it something special, we really enjoyed going for a stroll in the evening there is an incline (stated within the booking details) which is expected when staying in such an elevated position but we think this really adds to the beauty of it all. When taking the time to look around the cottage I came across the “aga bible” this really explains the basics of cooking within the aga which we found very simple to use and produced some wonderful meals within the cottage.We really have no complaints or pointers for this place as it already is 5 stars in our eyes. Thank you again for making our stay so comfortable we will be back soon enough x

Unfortunately I do think your cleaning team are letting you down and it somewhat takes the shine away from the place.

The kitchen and dining area, where we spent most of our time, have not been cleaned properly, I have summarised below. Dirty floor, the black tiles may disguise the fact but we had to wipe something that was spilled and the cloth was black. Dirty dishes and cupboards, we loaded a lot through the dishwasher and wiped out some drawers and shelves. The ranch slider window frame in the dining area is dirty where the handles are. The windows have many finger prints and other marks. I saw the note re windows being done monthly, they must be due and day now, but the insides should be cleaned for guests and actually I think that window and the side window, as your main features should be maintained for each paying guest. Cigarette butts left upstairs outside in a jar with dirty water. The floor around the dishwasher and the dishwasher and washing machine wasn’t clean. The dishwasher although clean inside needed tp have the door framework cleaned. We had to wipe down the table and the chairs on arrival. The shower curtains upstairs, I think were washed but very stained. Spiders everywhere The washing machine detergent dispenser and front needed to be cleaned and the cupboard beside it as well. We shouldn’t have been the one’s cleaning that. The rug in the downstairs lounge is not clean. The other couple of things are also the fact that we are opening and closing gates to get here, that is fine but the lower gate is completely rusty and falling apart. My daughter cut her ankles quite badly on the lower rung that is hanging off. Having guests open and close a gate in this state of repair is really unacceptable. There were no cleaning products for us to even get started with. As I said, these things take the shine off a beautiful cottage and location.

On arrival we could not find any cutlery and very few plates until we opened the dishwasher It was full and had been left like that for some time So did not smell very nice

What a beautiful cottage , I only stayed 3 nights out of 7 days as I had family emergency back at home , I did phone Sykes company up to say I had left as family emergency .

Beautiful view from every window , big place for families to have there own space , I was sorry to leave , love to stay again in future , only one negative please can you buy new pillow for main bedroom as when taking the cover of , some previous guest as had nose bleed on it , thank you for letting me and my mother stay was heartbroken to come back early family emergency .

Lovely warm, comfortable house, spotlessly clean.

A variety of outside seating areas, with great views, and tables and chairs. Yes it is up a fairly steep approach, but this is in the description of the property. Plenty of space inside and out for 6 people. We definitely want to return.

We all really enjoyed our holiday in Ceilwart Cottage.

Absolutely wonderful views including some superb sunsets! Must admit we did find the Aga rather challenging to use - might be useful to have something that heated up quicker for a holiday cottage! We realise that beautiful views imply height but think something a bit more might have been mentioned about awkward access and that better signage from the road to the cottage would have been helpful.

Lovely cottage with amazing views, we had a lovely week however I would have liked to have known beforehand about the extremely steep drive leading up to the cottage as I had my elderly parents with me who really struggled to get up the driveway.

Blackout blinds in ground floor bed room would prevent waking up with the dawn.

Lovely property with amazing views. People of a certain age should be warned of the steepness of the top of the drive, and that a small car is an asset as the space for parking and turning is limited. Signage to the cottage could be improved.

Difficult access across a field ( two gates to open )to the property which is sited on a steep incline.

Beautiful views and comfortable property. Kitchen needs updating. Washing machine but no drier.

The property was very comfortable.

Lovely open aspect .
