Awel Deg, Tresaith

So disappointed.

Turned up to find the "designated parking space" was nothing more than a building site which the owner of the flat had parked in so we had no where to park. Climbing an outside metal fire escape to the 3rd storey to find the owners dog locked in the flat. Upon entering the flat we noticed it had a smell due to the fact it had not been cleaned since the last guests, an hour later somebody turned up to change the linen and clean the flat which took an hour. A combination of climbing up and down a fire escape and the very steep hill down to the beach made walking a chore with the walk back having to be taken in 2 stages due to the severity of the hill, none of this mentioned in the description. In the evening the pizza shop and the pub played loud music until the early hours which made a good nights sleep impossible, with no welcome pack we were left to our own devices to find cutlery. cups, utilities and how to work the television. A welcome pack would have been helpful, a true description of the area and severity of the walk to the beach should have been in the listing. The one cctv camera covering the car park hadn't worked since the 13th July which was disappointing when my car was severely damaged in the allotted car park. Owner was too busy arranging a beach party for the locals to be interested. We left disappointed and angry, we would not recommend this place if you are elderly or have a disability, Another thing, sat nav directions take you the long way round down narrow country lanes with no passing places, blind bends and steep hills. In conclusion this holiday let is no good if you are over 30 or have any disability, the lack of information on the listing leaves a lot to be desired. We for one will not be booking again

What a beautiful stay!

Thank you so much, the apartment is perfectly located with sea views and the sound of the waves. So relaxing! Great for morning strolls and sea dips and walks on the coastal path. The local pub and cafes brilliant. We’ll definitely be back!

This is a real gem, decor was done to a high standard, bed very comfortable, location was excellent, to be able to hear and see the sea all day just great.

We had an issue with the bath, which the owner dealt with promptly. Anybody with a mobility issue may find the metal steps up to the apartment challenging.

It was perhaps unfortunate that during our stay, work was being done to the accommodation below to make ready a new holiday let.

The car park was being used by several vans and there was a lot of dust which accumulated on my car. We would suggest .that a microwave might be a useful addition as we and I am sure many people on holiday make use of ready meals from time to time.

Einige teile der Wohnung sind nieder und s deshalb nicht so gut zugänglich.

Die Wohnung ist aber super, schön gelegen mit sicht auf den Strand. Die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich. Wir haben die Ferien genossen.

The location is wonderful!

Very clean and modern with beautiful views and sounds of the sea! A few hooks on doors or walls for towels and clothes would be helpful. Not good for people with mobility difficulties though as there is a flight of stairs to climb to enter the property above the pub which serves delicious home baked pizza and good beer! Lovely coastal walks too. Would definitely return.

All was fine although directions into the actual car park a little confusing.

Think the hedge needs cutting back as hiding some of them. All was satisfactory beautiful location.

We had a lovely break at the apartment.

It was late March and so slightly quieter, which was great because the dog could run on the beach and we were not unduly disturbed by any activity at the pizza bar below or pub next door. Even with open mic night - the bar was prompt at closing down, so we didn't get noise persisting beyond 10pm. The apartment is pretty close to the beach and a coffee bar and a small beach shop - far enough to not get disturbed and close enough to be convenient. It did get busy on the road below on the weekend - it is a popular little beach area, and even has a sauna pod - its a blue flag beach and had some nice rocks to scramble on, with a decent tide range. There was some lovely local produce (bread, milk, butter, jam) waiting for us, which we enjoyed and encouraged us to buy local produce. This is a great "welcome pack". I would have appreciated some information about the surrounding attractions, but that said, everything is on google these days so paper leaflets would go out of date. We had missed in the original listing that there were 20 metal steps up to the apartment. However, the steps were sturdy with a good handrail and gripping treads - so definitely a challenge for anyone with mobility issues, but my 80 year old mother made it up and down safely. The whole bay area is quite steep but the cliff walks up the coast are lovely to Penbryn (the Plwmp Tart has excellent cakes and sausage rolls) and the walk to Aberport is much more mobility friendly once you make it up the initial climb (with useful benches). The nature reserve and Castle at Cilgerran are also well worth a visit. By the time we left, the car parking space was clearly labelled. Whilst the label had been missing when we arrived, the neighbours below were super helpful and always made sure that we had a parking space. The directions about the turn to the drive being on a hair pin bend were very helpful as it did take us a while to work out where the access drive was - but I had been driving a long time by then, so it was probably my tired brain. The accommodation was comfortable and attractive. As a physics graduate, I mastered the cooker - but it was not simple. The guides for all appliances were in a drawer under the oven - I'd recommend the owners maybe put them in a sleeve because they came out a lot for reference as the microwave was integral to the oven (it took us a while to work this out). The heaters worked really well and again involved some study of the manuals to make sense of them. In the kitchen, the appliances were high tech - a splashback would protect the wall behind the cooker - but it was clean and we got a good amount of cooking done in there. The leaving of dishwasher tabs was thoughtful, as was the cleaner - so we could keep on top of housework (a spare vacuum might have been handy because sand just appeared everywhere, with the beach down the road). The fridge and small icebox did the job - there is a good sized Tesco maybe 20 minutes drive away in Cardigan. The shower was lovely, the bath was limited for me as it is flush against an inclined ceiling and so I was a bit tall/ long to comfortably use it to bath or to shower - but it looked great and would be great for dunking children in. The bedrooms were very comfortable and clean - though you need to be flexible if you want to enter the master bed from the window side as you have to limbo under a beam. It is quaint and cute - I suspect very tall individuals might spend some time cursing the beams but we were fine (at 5 ft 7ins). The little dangling octopus thing in the kitchen hung from the beam was genius. Many times I felt it tickle my hair before I straightened up and so avoided a few bumps on the head from that particular beam. The location is lovely - the big windows give a fabulous view over the bay and of sunsets. There are window bays that give space to sit and watch the world. Whilst the wind did howl around the dormer windows a little - it was March and we were effectively in a loft space. The little deck area is a complete suntrap, so we were surprised to be sitting out in the sunshine soaking up the rays during March, but it happened. It was also contained, so the dog could safely doze outside. It would be nice to have some towel hooks for the bathrooms, but we managed perfectly well draping towels over beams or doors. The bins are down below the staircase. It took us a while to work this out, and the previous visitors had left food waste in the caddy on the patio which had gone nasty and filled up with water. I took this down below the stairs when I worked out what had happened. Again the neighbours below were super helpful when we left and did help us with bags down the stairs.

Very disappointed with this listing as it does not feel accurate to the pictures or the description.

I would not have booked this accommodation if I knew it was directly above the pub. There were poor instructions to find the apartment as Google takes you to the wrong road. The parking is not guaranteed and one night we only managed to get a spot because someone was leaving. Every other house has a sign to show its designated parking, and the parking for this accommodation is basically a building site anyone can park on. The welcome food and drink were lovely, but there is no welcome pack to explain anything. There is a sign to leave food waste in the green bin, but the bin outside the apartment has never been removed and is full of rotten food. The views are beautiful, but there are no blinds in the main bedroom, and the pub below has lights on until around 10:30. After this, we could hear either the pub clearing away or work being completed on the apartment below, so not very restful. The bed also had small white hairs all over it, which was very off‑putting. All the doors and windows have to be slammed to be shut, which is quite annoying. The floor looks lovely but is not suited for younger children due to some of the knots showing and being tripped on. Overall, a very disappointing accommodation. The area is beautiful, but this accommodation is only suitable as a base for a couple.

We stayed at Awel Deg a few weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed it despite the weather.

The apartment is cosy and the king size bed was very comfortable! It’s well equipped and the crockery is very nice! The views of Tresaith Beach and Cardigan bay are quite spectacular. The beach and coastal path are only a stones throw away from the apartment. It’s also a short walk to 2 pub/restaurants one of which occasionally has live music! Although it’s listed as a second floor apartment, there is only one flight of steps to the little roof garden and front door as the rest of the building is on a slope. It’s well positioned to explore other areas and beaches in the locality and further afield. Don’t forget to check out Tresaith waterfall!

Wow what a property fantastic sea views lovely quite area the apartment was high quality the bed so comfy had to go up stairs to it which was stated on listing so wouldn't really be disabled friendly but well worth it for the view two lovely pubs/ restaurant underneath well worth a visit loads of walks nearby quite cental cardigan bay about 8 miles one way and new quay roughly the same the other way .

Would highly recommend .

Could do with a welcome pack as we couldn’t figure out the cooker,tv etc.

.also couldn’t connect to the WiFi but that was minor as we had good connection thru our phones..we didn’t know where to leave our bin bags at the end of our stay..a few hooks on the doors or somewhere to dry our bath towels would be ok as well as a blind or curtains on the sleeping area window especially for people that are light sensitive...other than that the accommodation was very clean,and in a great location..all in all it’s minor issues and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay
