• "This is the most perfect place to stay."

  I have just returned from two weeks here and we have loved every moment of the cottage. The photos don’t do it justice so much love and thought has gone into this little place. It was perfect for a family of 4 and we didn’t need the second bedroom as the longe is huge and comfortable. Everything said about it is true and more. Diane and Sean have done an amazing job to make the place truly relaxing. Thank you so much. Nikki, John , Rowan and Orla

• "Our second stay at this delightful cottage."

  The owners have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Plus many thoughtful 'extras'. Easy to explore the glorious coast at Mwnt, Newquay(dolphins put on a show for us during our boat trip!), Cardigan etc.from the cottage. Cenarth Falls is a beautifully peaceful place, a boardwalk around the falls has been installed making for an easy walk around. The lovely sun trap garden at the cottage was a highlight. The wildlife friendly areas in the garden are great too. We hope to return soon. Big thank you to the owners.

• "Hawthorn Cottage is a lovely traditional cottage with slate floors, a wood burning fireplace/stove and cozy living area, a well equipped kitchen, and lovely grounds with beautiful spring flowers!"

  You have a private fenced back yard where you can barbecue or relax outdoors on the patio. A delightful babbling brook and lots of singing birds gives it an extra sense of peace. Diane and Shawn were so kind to provide fresh flowers, tarts and eggs! A wonderful place to get off the beaten path and relax or tour the countryside!

  Everything one could need was provided. Beautifully peaceful. Pleasant, kind owners. Would definitely stay here again.

  Thankyou. Making the cottage cosy and welcoming is one of my favourite parts of being an owner. I love choosing seasonal flowers from our garden, especially in the spring and early summer. Also collecting bantam eggs, if our girls are laying an extra supply ! We are extremely lucky to live in such a ' beautifully peaceful ' part of the world. Sharing this with holiday makers, such as yourselves, is very rewarding . Property Owner

• "Absolutely lovely place."

  Serene location, away from it all. I loved the way the property is laid out - having the log burner in the sleeping area. Very cosy. Nicely done up and the host, Diane, is lovely. Friendly, but leaves you alone to relax. The hosts live in the farmhouse opposite, so are there if you need them. Just 30 - 40 mins away from many beaches, driving through lovely countryside. Would recommend for a peaceful retreat.

  Place was clean, cosy and warm. Kids adored forest surrounding cottage. Fireplace was a big hit. Place is not far away from lovely beaches. Beds are very comfortable. We had some unexpected visits from lovely little doggy, that our children wanted to take home. Let me just say that it was just so nice not to hear sound of traffic in the morning... just sounds of nature....Strepsil included :) At night you can enjoy stars... there are so many. Thank you Diane and hopefully see you soon.

• "This cottage was a perfect, peaceful retreat set in lush,verdant rural surroundings."

  The moment we arrived we were made to feel so welcome by our lovely hosts Diane and Sean who have made the cottage so cosy - we particularly enjoyed our evenings by the fabulous wood burning stove which we put on even though it was quite warm. There were fresh eggs laid by their glorious mix of hens, a homemade date and walnut loaf and a proper teapot in the mix to welcome us. We really had a very lovely week long break exploring the Welsh countryside and fantastic beaches. However it goes without saying that there real star of the trip was Brewster, a little barrel shaped border terrier who would visit us morning and evening mainly in the hope of food of course but he loved a tummy tickle too. He would bark to let us know he was there, such a little character with his teddy bear face and wagging tail. We would definitely recommend a stay here, you will be well looked after and you really do get away from it all and just enjoy the natural beauty which is everywhere. Thank you to our great hosts.

• "Hawthorn Cottage is a hidden gem indeed."

  The cottage is about half an hour from many amazing beaches of Cardigan Bay in a quiet village. As previous reviewers have said, it is really nice to spend time around the cottage itself, in the peace and tranquillity of the surroundings. The owner Diane is extremely helpful. She even took our children out to show them the various animals on their farm. Our children loved it so much they keep asking us when we could go back there again. The back garden to the cottage is nice and private. It also has a swing and a trampoline for children to play in. Given how secluded the place it, it really feels safe to let children out on their own without much to worry about. The cottage was extremely clean and reasonably well stocked in pots, pans, cutlery and all the white goods. A dishwasher would be a good addition but that's definitely not end of the world. The cottage is tastefully decorated. The super-king size bed in the living room was extremely comfortable and so were the duvets. The wood burner was a great feature and thanks to Diane for helping us learn to start it on our own. She even provided all the firewood, kindling and firebricks enough to last us the 4 days we stayed there. Diane also left us a couple of cup-cakes, and half a dozen eggs from her hens and ducks on her farm when we arrived, which we enjoyed. We'd love to come back and stay here again sometime in the not so distant future.

• "Hawthorn Cottage is off the beaten track but well worth it for the peace and tranquility."

  It was lovely not to hear any traffic noise and to wake up to birdsong and the resident cockerel. There is a patio with table and chairs, which gets the evening sun and if the table and chairs are moved on to the grass, you can get the sun all day. The owners were very helpful and the welcome pack was great. Their 3 small dogs were very friendly. The kitchen was, on the whole, very well stocked; the only things which would have been useful were some Pyrex bowls and a casserole dish. It is a lovely country cottage and I would recommend it for a couple or small family.

  The setting was second to none and so much more than we expected- the pictures just don’t do it justice! The cottage had a real sense of calm and it really did feel like we were on a retreat (even with two children under five!). We hired a hot tub for the week (pre-agreed with the owners) and that was great for us and the kids alike. Good location ; 30 minutes to any beach, including Poppit Sands, which was absolutely stunning and perfect for families. We can’t wait go back to the cottage again!

The special attention to detail within the cottage by the hosts adds a feeling from home to home.This was our second visit to this Gem find where we stayed 3 years ago and really enjoyed the enhancements made to the property on this visit.There are plenty of things to do if you're into Mountain Bike riding, fishing, enjoy the outdoors walking local coastal paths and the local beaches are fabulous too. The local swimming pool came in handy for our children on a raining morning and is reasonable priced to support this local community facility.The woodlands around the vicinity of this cottage add an excitement to children and adults alike finding little hidden treasures. The variety of animals at the location add the beauty to the surroundings and we loved how they greet you on your return from a days outing. We look forward to revisiting this property again.
