  • "The property was everything you could possibly have hoped for."

    A lovely 3 bedroom cottage that happily accommodated the family (three couples plus a 5 year old and a dog!), which had been beautifully decorated for Christmas which was the finishing touch. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could need and the two sitting rooms provide ample space to chill out in front of the fire or tv. The dining table made a perfect setting for our family Christmas dinner, which was topped off by gifts for my nephew, the dog and the family. With a babbling stream just outside, the courtyard makes a perfect location to sit and relax! The village is quaint but provides easy access to nearby Cardigan whilst allowing you to get away from it all. Wouldn't hesitate visiting again and Lucy and Bob did everything to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. 10/10 would recommend for a getaway.

    Thank you for taking the time to publish such a lovely review about our cosy cottage in Wales.We try to make it magical for Christmas in our home from home especially at this time of the year.Quality family time is so important and we try to cater for your every need providing lasting memories.We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to your return in the near future.

  • "Great place to stay."

    Lovely cottage. Felt more like a well loved home than an empty formulaic holiday let. Lovely and warm with the option of a fire in the wood burner. Kitchen very well equipped, you could even bake a cake if you wanted to as mixer and cake tins are provided. Lovely powerful shower and plenty of hot water on tap. Some low ceilings but you very quickly get used to those or put those that don't in another room! Easy to find and plenty of amazing walks nearby. Also not too far from the coast and we would recommend the beaches at Aberporth for a swim, even in November. I’m sure there are lots of other amazing beaches nearby but we ran out of time to explore more options. Would recommend this cottage for anyone who wants a lovely break in this gorgeous part of Wales.

    Thank you for the lovely feedback you provided after your recent stay at our home from home in this beautiful part of Wales.We strive to make it comfortable & relaxing for all our guests.We are pleased that you found it warm and made full use of the wood burner.You are more than welcome to stay again to explore further.Lucy&Bob.

    Thank you for taking the time to write a review.We are very disappointed as we were not given the opportunity to rectify any issues you had with the heating.We explained how to over ride the heating settings and even rang back an hour later to check everything was ok for you and if there was any more issues then just to ring us.But you confirmed everything was fine.So we were surprised to hear via this review that you experienced more problems during your stay.We will always try and rectify any issues as long as we made aware of them at the time.

    The area is beautiful and wonderful to explore. Some beautiful woodlands to explore just a short drive away, and the beaches around cardigan are excellent especially for dogs. The cottage is very quaint, very warm and inviting with more equipment than you are ever likely to need. This is the first time we have done a holiday cottage and we were very happy with the experience.

    Furniture and appliances were first class. The owners were most helpful when we encountered some problems. Like no heater as my husband had fiddled with the thermostat... We found the location a bit remote as we are a bit older and found travelling the one lane roads difficult at night. But as I said the cottage is one of the nicest we have stayed at.

  • "The cottage was lovely with everything you could possibly need - a lovely, well eqipped kitchen."

    We usually stay in a caravan so was a luxury to have a washing machine & dishwasher. Also, having a shower room with a great shower as well as a bathroom meant no one had to wait! The beds were comfy & we all slept well. There were instructions for everything & most things were easy to work out. We are familiar with the surrounding area but had never been to Star before. I loved being able to buy fresh eggs locally. I enjoyed sitting in the garden every morning listening to the stream which was very relaxing & we were lucky enough with the weather all week to be able to do that. If you want peace & quiet, this is the place!

  • "The cottage was lovely and most of the facilities were impressive."

    However, the wi-fi was almost non-existent and none of our party (5) could make or receive phone calls on our mobiles. Even walking up the hill a couple of hundred yards did not produce a network connection. We were from three different households, all with children and grandchildren whom we like to stay in contact with, but this was not possible once we returned to the cottage each evening. One of our group, who is self-employed, left 2 days earlier than planned because he was out of reach of his customers for long periods. He texted my sister at 9pm to let her know that he arrived home safely, but this was not received until over 2 hours later by her. She could not phone him, as no network. Planning day trips without a signal for GPS was problematic and we had to drive a mile up the road before we could do this. I think we should have been informed that the wi-fi was very sporadic and phone network would be lost, particularly given the price that we paid. Also, the cottage, although lovely, was very dark and the very small patio areas did not get any evening sunshine, which was a shame, as it would have been nice to have had the option to dine outside, as you do when on holiday and the weather is beautiful.

    We are glad to hear you thought our 18th century cottage was lovely. With regard to mobile signal this would have been explained to you if we could have contacted you prior to your visit . We provide a landline which can be used and the telephone number is in the cottage information pack. We were concerned that you had not contacted us 48 hours before your arrival and we ended up contacting Sykes to give you the code for the key safe. Regarding the broadband we hadn't had any problems with the internet as we stayed the week before your visit, unfortunately in the village we don't get fibre optic broadband. When Bob rang on the Monday evening he said if there were any problems do not hesitate to ring us or the housekeeper, but neither of us or Sykes had any communication from yourselves so we could rectify the problem, the first we knew about it was when the review was posted. We have since had it checked and there doesn't seem to be an issue with it, so it must have been a blip in the system. We are always happy to help where possible. Regards Lucy & Bob Property Owner

    abundance of seating considering it is only for six people maximum) Main bedroom lacks privacy if more than 2 adults staying we did not have issue with this as there was only 2 of us. Bed extremely uncomfortable and overcrowded with furniture. The upstairs toilet facilities make it difficult for a male to address due to sloping ceiling and beams. Parking for a larger car is difficult. On the positive side the down stairs shower room was very good and kitchen well equipped. The location is good.

    So restful sitting next to the stream listening to all the birds. The owners' kindly provided a starter pack of milk, fresh eggs, brownies, wine and doggie treats. There was also a well equipped kitchen with tea, coffee and sugar to start the stay off. One of the houses had an honesty box where you could buy a box of half dozen fresh eggs for a £1 and they were the best eggs ever had for breakfast. The shower was brilliant and the bath was a real decadent experience, due to the high water pressure a little bit of bubble bath went a long way, only thing I didn't think of was a glass of bubbly! Won't forget next time. It was a lovely touch that the owner's rang on the Sat to check if everything was okay. As they had left full instructions on how everything worked luckily I didn't need to bother them. Would certainly go back and would highly recommend if you want a nice peaceful place to stay but near to everything you need to enjoy the holiday.

The stairs in the middle of the sitting room lead you directly into a charming mezzanine king-size bedroom with open beams, lovely floorboards, a slate windowsill, TV, and use of a screen for privacy if required. The further two bedrooms in this cottage are equally charming. The delightful enclosed garden runs along both sides of the cottage.

There is a low wall and fence at the side so that you can enjoy the sight and sound of the small stream running alongside.
