“If you want to be out of the way from everything, then this is perfect for you.”
The owners are brilliant, and told us straight away that we are on “an island”, so we couldn’t get anywhere without a 45 min walk to the village. You can see the village of Llandysul, and here the people in the beer gardens, playing cricket etc, but it’s not somewhere that you could have a drink & walk back to the cottage.

The cottage itself is an old stone building, so full of charm, but it could be modernised with a new kitchen & bathroom (tight squeeze!), and I know it’s not listed but there is no freezer in the kitchen, so food has to be bought on the day/day before. Really small living room area, and 4 people would feel cramped. There is no internet, so even though it says that it is available, it’s connects & drops out within seconds, same with phone signal- so don’t rely on your data either. In the main bedroom (double) the curtains need replacing, they were falling down each time we opened/closed them, so we tried leaving them closed (as open faces you onto the main road in/out), but the windows steamed up due to it being an old stone wall.
The farm that the cottage is on is beautiful. The horses & sheep around were well taken care of, and beautiful to see. Unfortunately the farm dogs just leave you presents outside the door, or on the private courtyard. We didn’t bring a dog but had dog hair all over our socks, if we didn’t wear our slippers. We watched the dogs going into the cottage, when the owners were cleaning it, upon our arrival.
This stay would have been such a better experience if the cottage just had that little bit more TLC, a few plug in smellies & the private courtyard could be closed off to the farm dogs.
WARNING- There is ALOT of potholes along the drive, from the main road, so please check your car’s suspension before you go.
