  • "We were a group of five individuals on a photography trip and have just returned from a marvelous week staying at Garth."

    The property is very spacious, comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The location is great, and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the large conservatory where there are lovely views over the surrounding fields. The owner stopped by after a few days just to check we were happy with everything, and had been kind enough to leave a welcome pack of milk and delicious Welsh cakes for our arrival. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. It’s in a lovely quiet location but only a very short drive from Cardigan with its shops and supermarkets, as well as being within 15 or 20 minutes of some stunning beaches. I’d rate Garth 10/10.

    We were left a very generous welcome pack which was very much appreciated,the Welsh cakes were delicious. Property was spotlessly clean too which was great.It is on a busy A road so there was some traffic noise but that wouldn't stop us from booking again.All in all a fab week spent with precious family members.

    The house is wonderful, beds were comfortable, and it had everything. The only downside, no hot tub lol. It's a fabulous place to stay, in a great location, we all loved it. In fact I've already booked to come back next year.

  • "Everything was brilliant."

    Would certainly recommend it. Plenty of space, very comfortable beds, beautiful views from conservatory, fire in living room and dining room {so not always need to put heating on}. Only downfall of holiday was the weather, but plenty of little bays and village to see by car. All in all we all enjoyed our stay at Garth. Thankyou to the owners for a brilliant job.

  • "We had a really lovely holiday at Garth."

    We are a family group of 5 adults and a toddler. The conservatory was fabulous, come rain or shine. The house was very well equipped with big soft towels and comfortable beds, and the welcome gift of tea, coffee, milk and homemade Welsh cakes was a lovely surprise. We struggled to get the hob to work on Saturday evening, and the owner came over to try to help. At 4pm on Sunday a new hob was being fitted. How's that for service? If we had any suggestions it would be, as others have said, a second fridge in the utility area. We also found, for us, there to be a lack of ambient lighting in both the lounge and the dining room. We actually borrowed some side lamps from the bedrooms to soften things a little. Otherwise it was perfect, thank you.

  • "Garth is a beautiful home with added touches giving comfort and tranquility."

    I love sitting in the conservatory watching the sunset. 4th stay here so expect I will return again at some point. The cooker and hob can be tricky to work however I don’t cook too much when away. The pub a few doors along is barely open and when it is it’s 530-830, there reviews appear good for food however I tried once and never again, so better off taxi or short drive into cardigan quite a few places to drink and eat.

    Thank you for your feedback and comments. We have recently changed the hob to an easy use one. Property Owner

  • "Loved "Garth" and the general area."

    The house was very comfortable and warm, I think we practically lived in the conservatory. The cooker hob took a little bit of getting used to, and perhaps a few more plates would be helpful. The owner took the time to come over to make sure we were ok, which was nice, and the Welsh cakes and fresh flowers were a nice gesture. Would definitely recommend.

  • "Garth cottage was very spacious, great location, comfortable with nice views."

    There was nearly everything in the cottage to make your stay great. There was a couple of things we thought would improve the stay, a radio, a larger fridge as the one in the kitchen is a under counter one so for eight people it’s not big enough, there is space in the utility room. Also paintwork needs doing but the cottage is so busy with bookings at the moment that may have to wait till winter. Good pub close by, only opens some nights, good food and plentiful. We would stay again if in the area

    It’s relaxing and just love the room! The conservatory is our favourite and I sat watching the weather for hours. The property has everything you need Definitely will be returning again! I did have a bit of an issue on this stay with back pain as the mattress is very hard however it does not put me off returning and it’s probably personal preference. The owner is very responsive and helpful and the welcome goodies are very much appreciated

    The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of plates, dishes and sets of glasses, dishwasher and washing machine. The fridge is too small for up to 8 people. A point that I did make to the owner which he acknowledged as being a valid comment. Otherwise the rooms are all comfortable, large and well furnished. The house is a good size for a group. The garden is ideal for small children. Safe and secure. Thanks for a lovely stay.

    It felt roomy even with 6 adults and 2 children. The conservatory was a family retreat whilst the lounge was a quiet haven. The spacious garden was great for the children and the adults loved a gamed of bowls. The bedrooms were spacious and the whole cottage was beautifully decorated. The real bonus was the welcome pack and the homemade Welsh cakes ! Everything was catered for. Thank you Rhian

However, we didn’t know when the collection was, it was early one morning and we didn’t get chance to put it out kerbside in time. We also purchased some oven gloves so not to ruin the towel provided. These were left for another occupant.

    Added bonus of 2 downstairs on-suites... Ideal for people with mobility issues. Beds were really comfortable. The views from the conservatory was amazing.. We spent most of our time there. Didn't really use the lounge.. We brought our stargazer lights and put them on in the conservatory, was fab.. Thanks to the owners who came to see if we had settled in ok. Lovely welcome pack ie, tea, coffee, milk. And some really tasty welshcakes... Massive bathtowels. Usually when we go away, we always wash the cutlery/plates/cups, but everything was clean, so we didn't need to... But just be aware that it is on a main road, with no path to the town. We got taxi rides to the town which was £6-8. (Which we didn't mind) They do have a local pub which you can walk to.. Would highly recommend this property.

    Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Sadly, because it is on a major 'A' road - which we were not aware of - it was very noisy with heavy traffic throughout day and night. The beds actually shake when heavy goods vehicles pass by. That really is the only let down of this well-equipped, spacious cottage. We would recommend the cottage, but would make sure they are aware of the road and noise from it. The area is stunning and well worth a visit. Walks from the cottage are not really recommended because of the busy road, but gorgeous places to walk are a very short drive away.

From here, the sleek kitchen offers all the appliances you need to whip up a delicious meal for your group, including an electric oven and hob.
