    Had everything we could need. Would rather a washing machine than a dish washer. The friendly owners were close to answer any questions and had lots of information handy for places to go. We were very lucky with the unusually hot weather, sometimes too hot The garden furniture provided a large umbrella, chairs and a large table and reclining chairs. Sat outside for some of our meals. Sat in the dark in the late evening listening to the river, the owls and star gazing. Really enjoyed our holiday.

    It had everything we wanted and was very clean. The beds had quality mattresses and were really comfortable. The owners (who live across the lane) are lovely people and were really nice to chat to - without being intrusive. We loved meeting their dog and horse! Having no wifi wasn't a problem as we could get 4G. There are so many lovely places to visit within 40 minutes drive.

    On arrival we found it to be spotlessly clean with a fresh spring flower planter to welcome us. The cottage is cosy but has the perfect amount of space for two or three as designed and the location is wonderful for those wishing to get away from it all. There's next to no traffic noise in this valley location and all you can hear are the birds. Hosts Angela and Tony are incredibly charming, thoughtful and helpful but not intrusive. We would highly recommend and we hope to visit again in the very near future. It's perfect!

  • "Exceptionally delightful hosts, the cottage proved to be more spacious than we had anticipated from photos."

    In terms of equipment we have marked below the highest rating, not because we feel we lost out in any way, but many cottages have items such as wifi, a washing machine, cubicle shower, copious kitchen items for example. For our purposes these were not essential and overall, we think this was one of the best holiday cottage experiences we have ever had and would have no hesitation in recommending to family and friends.

Our daughter got to see dolphins in Cardigan Bay which made the holiday worthwhile for her. The booking process was easy. A very stress free, peaceful holiday.
