• "Great place."

  Stayed for a week. 2 adults 2 dogs. The host were lovely and very welcoming. Pond Cottage had all the amenities you would need no matter the weather. Lovely outdoor space to sit and chill either at the table and chairs or in the hot tub. Comfy lounge with tv games and books for when the weather wasn't so great. Full access to the grounds and fields, the dogs loved both the fields and the stream in the woods. They also made great friends with Casper and Bailey (owners 2 dogs) who were absolutely sweethearts and were daily visitors to us. Location was lovely and quiet but near enough that we could go to beaches and other places easily.

  Thank you so much, we couldn't wish for anything more and we are pleased that you had such a lovely time. We all enjoyed having you and your 'boys' to stay. Property Owner

• "What a super property in a truly wonderful and tranquil rural location yet within a short drive of excellent local pub and convenience store."

  Pond cottage, one of two lovely detached holiday cottages in a small complex of three homes in all including the owners' former farm house, is a genuine delight. The property is unusual perhaps with it's inverted accommodation but exceptionally spacious throughout, interesting in layout and ideal in particular for two couples with it's two large double bedrooms each having extremely generous bathroom or shower room but separated by a large entrance hall with useful fully equipped utility cupboard under the stairs. A single step down at the end of the large lounge/diner leads into an additional seating area with two comfortable chairs from which visitors can admire a stunning variety of birds on the nut feeder and balcony immediately outside. The excellent Kitchen/Breakfast Room completes the accommodation and is not only extremely well fitted and equipped but again unusually generous in size. The covered hot tub just outside the back door was more than a bonus, it was a delight in itself with direct outlook over the grounds which themselves afford a gorgeous setting with plenty of opportunity for dog walking. Last but not least, a special mention must be made of the owners Mark and Philippa who are most helpful, warm and welcoming and made us feel quite at home. Casper and Bailey, the owners' very friendly Spaniels, contributed to that welcome too !

  Thank you so much, we love having you to stay in Pond Cottage and are very pleased that you felt so at home. Property Owner

  Every detail has been considered, the kitchen is of a very high standard and well equipped. Hot tub easy to use, extensive gardens and adjacent fields wonderfully kept and perfect for dog and human walking. Highly recommend the property and the lovely owners, Philippa and Mark, who were on hand should any need arise. Nearby New Quay is a stunning coastal location with dolphins to be seen from land as well as beautiful beaches. Thanks for a lovely stay P and M!

  The cottage was spotlessly clean & extremely comfortable. On arrival were lots of little extras like dog treats, Easter cakes and milk, which we really appreciated. It was one one the best equipped places we’ve stayed in & the information pack was full of extremely useful suggestions. Our hosts were on site to welcome us and were friendly and helpful.

• "Very nice cottage, well equipped and very clean."

  Great hot tub. Nice to walk dog down to woodland at the bottom of the garden. The walkway over pound needs maintenance, but there is still good space to exercise your dog. The owners dogs are very friendly and although you see them now and again they are not continually lose around the garden so don’t be put off if you don’t like dogs

  Thank you for your kind comments. We have every intention of removing the old bridge as it has collapsed into the water, the ground by the pond is very boggy because of the exceptionally wet winter, as soon as it is dry enough this will be rectified. As you say Bailey and Casper are very friendly and love all our visitors; but they are only out at the same times that we are. Property Owner

• "This beautiful cottage was decorated with so much love for our Christmas break."

  The tree a magical touch. The layout of the property is fantastic. Both bathrooms are absolutely stunning. Everything was so clean. As an enthusiastic cook I enjoyed the spacious kitchen, well appointed cupboards, well equipped with everything you could need. The hot tub was an added bonus. The weather was really not that great, but we very much enjoyed our stay. It is a lovely rural spot, quiet, nature all around, we especially loved the birdfeeder with all the guests including several woodpeckers. Would love to go back there again.

• "We had a lovely stay, lovely cottage, beautiful surroundings."

  Only downside was the heating was controlled by the owners. We were often left very cold, even after asking twice for it to be on during the day. Not great after coming back after a damp cold day at the beach.

  Thank you for your kind comments, we're very pleased that you enjoyed your stay at our Pond Cottage. As soon as you arrived we did ask you to let us know if the cottage wasn’t warm enough. The main heating was on at 25 in living areas and bathroom and 22 in bedrooms. There is an electric fire in the living room to add to heat and cuddly blankets as suggested by our lovely agent Alison which are on the settees. You did twice mention that it wasn’t warm enough, but it does take a little while for the temperature to change. The bedrooms ended at 25 all day and night and the living room way over 28-29 and on continually. When we went in for changeover we could hardly breath it was so hot. We had to open windows to be able to cope with it. The guests who stayed the following week asked for the bedroom heat to be turned off as it was not necessary and the general heat down by at least 5 degrees. We appreciate that everybody responds differently to temperature levels but we tried really hard to accommodate you, as we do with all of our guests. Property Owner

• "Lovely, clean and well maintained property."

  Dog friendly but don’t let that put you off, it was spotless. An upside down house with 2 en-suite bedrooms on opposite sides of the hallway. One double, one twin. I would have preferred the double to be in the other room which had the nicer walk in shower and was lighter and brighter, but both rooms were good so not a problem and I enjoyed the double ended bath for a good soak. The living area upstairs is spacious with kitchen at one end and sun room with small balcony at the other. The sun room is particularly comfy and loved the filled bird feeder which meant I saw my first ever woodpecker! Your own private hot tub which is fully cleaned between bookings made for good relaxation after a day of coastal hills! Well equipped kitchen; electric hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge with good sized ice box. Washing machine, laundry basket and airer. Hairdryer and towels provided. Dishwasher tablets, hand soap, kitchen cleaning stuff provided. Salt, pepper and cling film/sarnie bags provided so no need to bring. Could do with more ‘proper’ mugs for a good sized cuppa. Tips for a good stay: restaurants get booked up so worth advance booking. Moody cow looked nice for sun lunch. The Pepper pot was pleasant for lunch or dinner. The Cost Cutter local shop in New Quay had a surprisingly good selection inc vegetarian. Big supermarkets are a bit further afield so get an advance Tesco delivery or shop on the way. Note that sat nav only gets you so far, don’t forget to drop a pin on the map once arrived so you can find your way back! It’s not hard once you know but confusing the first few times. We enjoyed walking from llangranog and tresaith to pen bryn (which had the better cafe). All in all, a lovely relaxing stay. Thank you.
