  • "Lovely stay."

  • "Wonderful pre Christmas stay for our wedding anniversary."

    Such a beautiful area and a great house with brilliant facilities. Our family and the dogs really loved it, superb walks and beaches all close by. Just walking the river in front of the house was great. I have to say that the village is the friendliest place I think I've ever been to. Everyone we met was lovely. Huge thanks to the housekeeper and the owners who sorted out the heating for us when the pilot light out went due to some extreme weather.

  • "We had a wonderful week,exploring Wales from Tefie House."

    It was so easy to book. Beautiful views from front of property across the river. Property was warm and welcoming, we have a small dog which could squeeze through large wooden gates at front, so we took gate guards with us, which solved the problem. The only problem we had was the TV, there were 4 remote controls, TV instruction was under the coffee table, but still struggled to get TV channels on it. But after being out in Welsh air we were happy to watch a bit of Netflix before bed. Lovely big family sized house. Also had a lovely email when arriving home, thanking us for leaving the property clean. Going back to the TV, in all fairness, we had a phone no to ring if there was any problems. Many thanks .

  • "We are a family of 5 adults and a dog and Teifi House was perfect for us."

    I would highly recommend staying here. It’s a beautiful setting. It is a good size and has comfortable sofas and a choice of 2 tables to eat at. The location is great with the river a minute walk away. The owner was very responsive and helpful. It was warm and comfortable and the wood burner was a bonus on one chilly evening when sitting chatting around it made for a special night. It is clean and comfortable, but still homely. The shower is fantastic. The 2 bathrooms are well equipped, although it would have been good to have a shower over the bath. The garden is a nice place to sit. Like most holiday homes, we couldn’t let the dog off the lead in there as she could escape through the gate or over the low wall. With riverside walks so close this wasn’t a big problem. Although generally very well equipped ( good choice of pans and oven trays) the kitchen would benefit from the knives being sharpened and a new tin opener. A bigger mat by the patio doors would be good as the outside mat collects water meaning you step in with wet feet and there isn’t space for 5 people to come in onto the mat and take their shoes off, meaning the kitchen floor inevitability gets wet and muddy. Not a big issue but easy solved with a bigger mat inside or a non absorbent one outside. These are all small issues but would make a a great holiday even better. Overall the perfect base for a holiday in this wonderful part of Wales.

    The delightful and well-provisioned corner shop is a short walk (albeit up a steep hill) and features locally grown fresh produce at reasonable prices. Big supermarkets and facilities in Cardigan - just a short drive. Beaches, castles, market towns, nature reserves all around and a short drive. The closeness of the river Teifi and lovely walks (especially in the evening when the bats are feeding over the water) is a huge plus. Whatever you do... don't miss the opportunity to visit the National Coracle Centre nearby - it's a challenge, but rewarding! Oh, the beds were comfy.

    What we were disappointed with was the downstairs interior. The Kitchen cupboards and drawers need an overhaul as they are hanging off in places and I lost count how many times I got my finger trapped in the corner cupboard as the glass cupboard does not close properly. Money could be spent doing up the kitchen. The Sofas in the lounge were too low and too soft and we struggled to get out of them again some sturdier ones would be money well spent. I am surprised with Sykes not checking their properties as this is not the first occasion i've left feedback on properties where we have stayed and not up to a good standard. If these updates were done we would definitely stay again and use Sykes again but at this moment in time i will be using other companies as we go on holiday every 2 months.

Not that we had time to sit around because we arrived during Cilgerran carnival week and there was so much to see and do. The Castle was interesting and had several events to go to over the August bank holiday weekend and during the following week. The Villagers were very friendly and welcoming, especially at the corner shop at the end of the road. The fish and chip takeaway van arrives on a Thursday near the Petrol station and provided a tasty fish and chip supper. A very relaxing holiday where we didn’t need to use the car everyday.

    The cooking utensils and saucepans, also cutlery needed washing before using. The garden was on the front of the house, there were nine rubbish bags on the pavement leaning against the wall, flies all around so we were unable to sit outside. We arrived on the Saturday, Tuesday when we drove back to the house we said Oh good the bags had gone, only to find they had been thrown into the garden for some reason unknown to us, we got in touch with owner who sent someone to move them, they were moved back up against the wall again. There was black dust all around in our on suite I could go on. When you pay to rent a property you expect things to be clean this was not. The owner should be checking also you as a company advertising cottages and houses should make sure they are fit for purpose.

    Thank you for the feedback, My cleaning team have checked the carpets and can find nothing untoward but they will of course monitor that . I've also asked that the cutlery/crockery is checked again as I pride myself on usually high standards. I contacted the cleaning team straightaway on seeing your review and will ensure that standards throughout the property are rechecked as necessary. Apologies for any oversight with the bins which were tidied up while waiting for the next bin collection,which was regrettably out of my control at the time. Property Owner

  • "House is in an ideal location for walks along the river."

    There's no garden as such but you have the river on your doorstep so not an issue. We are used to log burners so didn't find it a problem getting it going but be warned - when you first light it you get a lot of smoke in the room, it takes awhile for the warm air to rise up the chimney. So I would recommend firelighter and kindling to start rather than burning paper (which was what was left for us to use). The Kitchen is lovely and big with lots of utencils etc, a couple of niggles ie the dishwasher top shelf you have to be careful with as it will come right out of it's runners and the oven is difficult to light... there's a real knack to it. The previous review was a real worry as it was very scathing about the cleanliness - I spoke to the owner beforehand about this, he was very honest and said he had been let down by previous cleaning company which had all been resolved. The house was certainly a lot cleaner than the previous review (I am really fussy)... perfectly adequate.

  • "I don't think we were meant to go away for my birthday this year."

    I booked our trip for Station Hall at Cilgerran and then just as I was about to pay the balance I was told my holiday was cancelled as it had been double booked. I then didn't have much choice trying to find a suitable cottage that accommodated two dogs for the same dates due to our time off work being booked. I opted for Teifi House as it seemed suitable and was in the location we wanted as we were going to meet up with family nearby for some birthday celebrations. The owner rang me the day before about key location and if there were any problems then to let him know. We arrived just before 3pm on 10th November. Unlocked the doors and then just emptied the contents of our cars into the kitchen and then headed off to the nearby Cliff Hotel at Gwbert for afternoon teas with family who were waiting for us. At the end of the evening we headed back to Teifi House for our holiday. The house is vast and a great size as only three of us were staying. A great location near the local river for walks etc and the village at the top of the hill. We then started to unpack and familiarise ourselves with the house. The first point of call was the downstairs toilet next to the utility room which had not been cleaned and was the standard of a well used public toilet. We packed our shopping away in the cupboards and there were ample pots and pans and glasses etc but it was debatable whether they were clean. The dishwasher still contained dirty crockery from the previous holiday makers. The microwave was dirty with food spills. We struggled to light the oven and couldn't find any manuals that went with the appliances. We were in the process of washing up at the sink (because the dishwasher was full and by now we'd put it on) when our feet got wet. On checking inside the cupboard the trap was not fitted under the sink and water was spilling all over the cupboard. Judging by the amount of empty Kitchen Unblocker bottles, it suggested there had been a problem here. We managed to attach the relevant pipe work. On going through to the lounge, the carpet didn't appear as if it had been hoovered and to add to that there were dog biscuits and chews on the floor! The bathroom sinks appeared to have been cleaned and there were clean towels and bedding on the bed. We couldn't find a Visitors Book which normally offers local recommendations. The Idiots Guide to the House is a few sheets of A4 paper which has been there so long the print is barely readable. One page of it had even been torn off. There's a hand written note about the bins which looks as if had been prepared by a guest. There were two dustbins out on the roadside, one contained paper cake wrappers and an assortment of tins and bags. Nothing in the relevant recycling bags of which there was an ample supply of bags under the sink, albeit wet. There is no phone signal to contact the owner from the house and to be honest it was late in the day and after the long journey we just went to bed and made the most of it. We covered the settees with blankets which I always do and allowed my dogs the run of the house as I really didn't think they could make the house any more dirtier than it was. When we left the house we left it cleaner than when we arrived. I always strip the beds when we leave holiday homes to allow the owner to know which beds we had used. I wish I hadn't . There were no pillow case protectors on the bed, the pillows were soiled. I removed the bottom sheet to find a mattress protector which performed its duties as it too was very soiled with what can only be described a Love Juices!! Need I say more. I was glad to leave that house. I assume the owner had no involvement with caring for the property other than the cash going in the bank. I've since seen numerous complaints about the standard of this house and it seems that nothing has been done to rectify the problem. I would say that the standard of cleanliness depends on who was in the house prior to new guests arriving and how much cleaning they did on leaving or during their stay. There were no cloths to use to clean around sinks etc and I'm certainly not buying them when I'm on holiday. I did not make contact with the owner whilst on my holiday as I wanted a stress free holiday and not confrontation. We stayed out most of the time. Also on another matter, please stop sending me emails every time I look at a holiday home. I have been using holiday homes since 1992 and this one is certainly in the top five of being the worst. I've already got another five holiday cottages booked for the next year so please don't send me any further details as I need to get over this one.

  • "Nice big house with plenty of space."

    Some things could do with updating but overall was good. Wonderful big gas cooker but the numbers have worn off so impossible to know what temperature you are setting the oven at. Also a pet hate of mine was nothing to put things on in the shower. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash all had to be balanced around the shower tray. No instructions either on what rubbish goes in what bag or when the bin men come. The previous occupants obviously had the same problem as the bin men wouldn't take their recycling away. I presume they'd put the wrong things in the bags as they didn't know. This, however, meant their rubbish sat at the front gate for the whole week. Would be easy to remedy this as other cottages give you a list of what can be recycled. Only minor problems but I feel if they were remedied they would make a big difference. That said, the kitchen was well stocked, lovely huge master bedroom, enormous dining table and a good location for visiting the area. The Welsh Wildlife Centre in Cilgerran is a must.

Just a couple of points we felt we wanted to mention, there was no toilet paper when we arrived, luckily we had brought our own but it would have been nice if it was included and maybe a small welcome pack to include items such as milk and bread. Secondly it would have been nice if there were a few comfy garden chairs as apart from the stone table and benches and a few collapsible wooden chairs there was nothing comfy to sit on in the garden which is a great shame as the location is perfect.

    The listing doesn't get across the amazing views and proximity to the river Teifi, which is practically on your doorstep. As far as the house goes, it is comfortable and clean. There were some basic amenities missing which I have come to expect from every holiday cottages have stayed in; no milk for tea on arrival, no kitchen roll or dishwasher tablets, and no hand towels in the bathrooms. The towels provided were also comically small and of very little practical use. Either these minor issues need to be rectified, or people need to be made aware beforehand that such items will not be provided.

    dogmeals we had planed an early Christmas Weekend with our family for the first few days of our stay.On arrival the house was warm and clean , all the rooms were of a good size. We did have a problem on the first evening with the oven on the large gas cooker which failed to heat up correctly. This was a major problem for us as we had all brought a lot of meat and vegitables for the special meal on the next day( saturday). We telephoned the contact person who was incredably helpful, he firstly made suggestions to try and clear the problem, then after this failed to solve the problem he offered to pay for a takeaway meal for the whole family - we declined this offer as we had plenty of pre-cooked food to feed everyone. The contact person said that he would arrange for a gas engineer to visit the cottage the next morning and even informed us a little later about the approximate time that the engineer would arrive. By Midday on the Saturday , (whilst we enjoyed the local nature walks ) the engineer had corrected the problem and we could cook a large family early Christmas meal. The manager/ owner of this cottage was incredably helpful and very pleasant as well as being as good as his word. Just one point to mention ( and agrees totally with the last review of the cottage) the kitchen is poorly equiped for home cooking with poor quality cutlery and cupboard doors peeling and hanging off. We had read the latest reviews for the cottage and so took pans and knives ect . which was a very good idea !. With just a little expenditure in the kitchen this cottage could be a great choice all round. The location of the cottage is wonderful for pet owners and nature walkers . I would very much like to stay at this cottage again especially as i really don't think the contact person could have done any more to make our stay perfect !.

The property

This comfortable, semi-detached cottage is perched on the hillside of the Teifi Valley, in the popular village of Cilgerran near the market town of Cardigan.

The cottage is a perfect base for families or friends looking for a little peace in the tranquil river valley, just a short walk from local pubs and days out.

Set over two floors, there are three comfortable bedrooms, one with an en-suite, and a family bathroom.

There is a well-equipped, light and airy kitchen with a breakfast area, ideal for a hearty meal before your days out.

One step down takes you into the sitting room where you can enjoy your evening meal in the dining area, or cosy up in front of the woodburner with a good film.

Outside, you can sit in the front patio and enjoy the views over the tree tops across the valley.

Explore the National Trust’s Cilgerran Castle, virtually on your doorstep, or enjoy the Wildlife Trust's Teifi Nature Reserve with fabulous nature walks and popular café.

The River Teifi runs through the valley, which provides fabulous walking opportunities and is renowned for its excellent fishing.

The beautiful Cenarth Falls are a short drive away, and you may be lucky enough to see the seasonal salmon leaping.

You are ideally placed to explore the wonderful coastline of Cardigan Bay with various sandy beaches just 7 miles away, such as Poppit Sands, Moylegrove or perhaps travel a little further to the peaceful National Trust Beach of Penbryn.

The area offers numerous outdoor activities, the Pembrokeshire National Park opens up just 4 miles away and locally you can go on a boat trip to enjoy the local dolphin and wildlife spotting opportunities.

Slightly further afield to the south, why not visit the quaint village of Narberth and enjoy some boutique style shopping?

To the north you will find the popular seaside beach resort of New Quay, famous for resident dolphins, and the harbour town of Aberaeron, with its multicoloured houses lining the harbour.

With days out virtually on the doorstep, this cottage is ideal for families and friends looking to walk the fantastic local countryside or enjoy the nearby sandy beaches and coastal paths, or perhaps just sit and spend a lazy day by the river.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
