    Owners were lovely, there if you needed them and very friendly and helpful. The accommodation was immaculate , beds very comfortable with quality white bedding , even down to shampoo , shower gel etc supplied was branded products. The water in the hot tub was so clear and they are passionate about the chemicals being spot on . Some great history too about The Old School that we loved . We would definitely recommend this accommodation as you will not be disappointed.

  • "A fantastic, clean, and beautiful building with a stunning view to relax and eat dinner in the pretty garden that overlooks miles of the countryside to both the left and right."

    The hot tub was brucie bonus aswell! The hosts Lynda and Tony were extremely friendly and provided excellent details of what would be provided and travel details of how to get there. The home-cooked cake and fresh eggs on arrival was a lovely gesture. There is lots to explore near the Old School, depending on how far you want to drive. We particularly enjoyed the coastal walk from Cwmtydu to New Quay (8 miles there and back). While in New Quay we took the boat trip to go and look at dolphins and other wild life. The trip up and around Craig Ddu waterfall overlooking Cwm-y Rhaeadr Forest was a favourite for our little Jack Russell; Poppy! Our children got an adrenalin kick with a trip to Zip World Tower, which happens to be only a couple of miles from Penderyn Distillery which we naturally stopped at! We would certainly recommend this place to our friends and would love to visit again one day! Thanks Lynda and Tony!

    Nothing is overlooked for the comfort and enjoyment of your stay. The hoist also provides a bottle of wine, local sourced eggs, and a home baked cake.And lots of advice of places to visit and probably the best fish & chips in Wales, which is just a couple of miles away. And if it does rain, there must be over 100 video's to chose.

    It was refreshing to stay somewhere where the “basics” are provided, and by that I mean washing up liquid, tea towels, dishwasher tablets, tea & coffee. All too often these aren’t provided and you find yourself having to go buy them! The house was lovely and clean, and the kitchen was well stocked with all the cooking utensils you could need. There was shampoo, body wash and soap provided in the bathroom. There is a good selection of books and games which kept the kids amused on the wet afternoons. The hot tub is a lovely addition, with lovely views across the valley. You can sit in there and watch the Red Kite circling around. All in all a lovely place to stay with great hosts who are happy to help.

    The three of us had the best time, your so central to other places to visit, Carmarthen, Aberaeron etc with Lampeter only 10mins away. There is plenty of parking space at the property and the very open plan living area in the property makes it cosy and yet loads of room to spread out into your own space. The outside area is very well maintained with a fantastic jacuzzi and garden swing (nice touch) and an alfresco dining area. The views are fantastic. As for our hosts Lynda and Tony we had a very warm Welsh welcome when we arrived, had the tour and any questions, she was just at the end of a phone. Should you be thinking about booking this property......don't - just do it!!!! You will not regret it. It's the kind of property that you can use as a base to do other things or just to chill and let the world go by! Jason

    The little touches with homemade cake (delicious), milk, flowers and towels for the hot tub was a nice surprise. Hot tub was a great treat and watching the world go by and the sunset was amazing plus plenty of outdoor seating including a hammock. Lovely quite location with overlooking fields with stunning views across the valley. The local town (Lampeter) was nice and we picked up some souvenirs. We took a couple of trips to the beach which is about a 45 minutes journey, but worth it as they were amazing. Owners were very welcoming, thank you Lynda and Tony for an amazing holiday... Definitely a cottage worthy of a return visit!!!

  • "This property is a converted schools house."

    The building is divided into two dwellings the front section being the holiday let and the read the owners occupy. Entry takes you in to a hall way with a boot/utilities room and the bathroom on the left the right hand a doorway into the main living area. The space is well laid out with a 3 seater and 2 seater settee a 4 place dining take and a kitchen with hob oven fridge and dishwasher, This area is all open plan with a staircase leading to a large landing and two bedrooms. One bedroom has two single beds and the other a standard UK double. Outside the property there is ample parking by the front door to the left of the property is a decked area with a table and chairs this leads past the owner part of the property to the hot tub and a bench swing. The owners are welcoming and on hand if needed, but leave you in peace otherwise. The school house is around 15 mins drive from Lampeter along mainly single track roads.

    Area is glorious. The wildlife is soul warming. But please…mind your head on the extractor fan above the cooker! (Ouch) We would DEFINITELY recommend this holiday let to anyone looking for some peace and quite. Everyone in the area was just lovely and pleasant and the owner Linda was a star. Always giving us the privacy we went for but always on hand instantly with any concerns or requests. Try not to steal a fork like we did somehow upon departure. Take your swim wear for the hot tub with stunning views of the hills and lambs but also take ya wellies for long walks just incase it’s a wet one. We enjoyed like so many others have, walking ‘The Loop’. Gorgeous. Just ask Linda for directions. Would 100% recommend this lovely little escape. If you have a doggy I’d recommend taking a small doggy fence if you happen to have one to prevent your beloved pooch jumping over into the field next to garden like our little tike did. We would DEFINITELY return upon the chance to do so. TeamKenBexDobby.

  • "This is an excellent rental property well deserving of its review ratings."

    A quick scan of the website photo's convey its features and location. Its covered multi jet, 6 person hot tub with open vista over the river Teifi valley is the star attraction, but it has a lot more. Outside there is a private dining and seating area offering the same views. Inside the open lounge and kitchen has natural light streaming through the big arched windows. The kitchen is one of the best equipped of all the cottages we have stayed in. My wife and I struggled to think of a item of crockery, utensil, pan, cutlery, appliance, chopping board etc that was not supplied. It even had flickery led candles in the lounge to complement the Log burner style gas fire. The bedrooms were not huge but big enough and the mezzanine level had a vanity unit that according to my wife, "must have been designed by a woman". The twin mirrors, seating position, lighting and hair drier location were all in the right place to do hair and make up. Another unassuming but excellent feature was the big utility room for walking boots, coats, drying area and general storage. Finally the property host Lynda was excellent. She contacted me shortly after booking and was there on arrival to welcome us to the home, give us some guidance and offer help should we have any queries. For anyone looking for a place to stay in mid Wales this is a great place. The guest comments book had entries from repeat guests and plenty of positive comments from first timers like me. Testament again to the level of experience that can be enjoyed here.

    We visited over the Christmas week and the owners, Lynda and Tony, pulled out all the stops and decorated the old school house beautifully, left lovely Christmas gifts for us and even bought a few items of our food shop that we couldn't bring with us! Nothing was too much trouble for them. We'd like to thank them once again for their fantastic hospitality. The property itself was warm and comforting, a great place to spend the week, we didn't want to leave! The new shower room was great and the new hot tub too was great on a drizzly afternoon/evening after walks with our dog.

Linda also told us of some places to visit however there are plenty of maps and leaflets with things to do, the kids were kept busy with cards, board games and puzzles and even a trip to some beaches for chips! The towels and robes are a nice touch too and came in very handy which also meant less packing and washing! We would absolutely recommend this cottage and would definitely go back around the same time. Shame to have left when we did and get back to reality! Darren and Marlene Scott

  • "Weekend away with friends, just what the dr ordered."

    Peaceful comfortable and the hot tub was lovely. They only slight problem was there is only one bathroom. But the charm of the property out weighed that.

  • "The cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped."

    The photos did not do it justice at all. It is beautiful and there are some many things to do in the local area that we plan to book to return. The hosts are lovely and friendly and left bara brith and Welsh butter for us on arrival and took us round the cottage to explain everything. The laundry room holds all sorts of books, games and puzzles and there is a large amount of DVDs to choose from. The log burner was lovely on chilly mornings although we were blessed with pretty good weather for the week. The addition of the hot tub was wonderful and loved by all. The beautiful views to look out over the valley were perfect. They provided enough towels and robes for showers, beach and hot tub which was a fabulous touch and saved packing space. I couldn't recommend this cottage highly enough. Such a brilliant holiday.
