  My husband, dog and I loved staying here - it was so peaceful, a real getaway in a beautiful setting.

  We loved the converted barn, firstly it was bigger than what you’d expect from the photos which is a first. It was extremely clean, comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. The welcome gift of Welsh cakes, tea, coffee, butter and milk was lovely. The layout was great - the amazing views of the countryside can be seen from sitting having breakfast at the table, on the sofa watching the Euros or sitting up in bed. We loved watching the resident ducks, chickens and goose in their daily routines particularly the ducks and goose following each other down to the pond every morning for a swim. We kept our dog on a long lead which he was happy with as the one time we let him off he moved closer to where the sheep were in the field below the barn and barked which scared them - he was promptly put back on the lead. We had trips out to Cardigan, Poppit Sands and Cenarth Falls - ensure you have £3 in cash for parking at Cenarth Falls as it’s worth it for a short walk along the river and also the gift shop is really lovely as is the owner who was very chatty and friendly. We went to Poppit Sands on a Monday when it was almost deserted. It is beautiful - well worth a trip. As we were on a relaxing holiday we didn’t want to go any further than half an hour away so didn’t explore Pembroke which was a bit further afield. We spent several days at the cottage reading and soaking up the peaceful atmosphere. We bought all our supplies from Tesco in Cardigan and we have an EV so we paid the extra to charge it at the cottage which was very handy. Regarding earlier reviews, the owners are great and are on hand if you need them but leave you to your own devices. And also some previous reviews mentioned the track to the cottage - it is fine, just take it slow and no problem - the sensors go off due to folliage. Driving to the property there are single track roads through the village which are on an incline - again, take it slow and you’ll be fine like we were. It was our first holiday to Wales and we will definitely be back.

  We stayed at the lodge from the 2nd to the 9th October 2021 On arrival we was greeted by Sonia and David the owners they were both extremely welcoming they showed us round and told us how things worked.

  Sonia had even sent us a txt earlier in the day to ask if we would like the hot tub fire lighting so it would be ready for when we arrived which was extremely kind of them. The lodge is set in beautiful surroundings and all you can see in every direction is stunning greenery. The lodge was clean and extremely well stocked with everything you need for your stay e.g tea towels,washing up liquid,toilet rolls etc. There is no wi fi and you also have to light a fire using wood to heat the hot tub but we knew this and didn’t mind as it was part of the adventure of our holiday It does take around 3 hours for the hot tub to heat up depending on the temperature of the water but we just got a drink and enjoyed the scenery while we was waiting for it to heat up. There are some beautiful walks around this area and lots of things to see and do within a short drive. If your looking for a relaxing stress free, forget about your troubles holiday book the lodge you will be very well looked after by Sonia and David and be surrounded by nature. Thank you so much Sonia and David for letting us stay in your caravan with such beautiful surroundings looking after us and making us feel so welcome Hopefully we will get the opportunity to visit you both again in the future. Kind regards Colin & Karen.

  The Lodge is a great holiday property run by very friendly and helpful hosts Sonia and David and spaniels.

  Peaceful, secluded countryside location, great for stargazing on clear nights. Lots of attractions a short drive away. Fantastic walks for our dog in, and away from, the property. Bedroom 1 with king size bed, walk in wardrobe, TV with free sat and ensuite toilet and basin. Bedroom 2 has twin beds, ideal for younger children. Bathroom with large walk-in shower, WC and basin. Open plan kitchen/diner/sitting room large enough for a family of four. Large fridge freezer, gas hob, separate grill and oven. Storage space is plentiful throughout. The very clean property is well stocked with many items not usually provided in holiday lets, such as good quality hand wash at every basin, washing up liquid, dishwashing sponge and cloth, oven gloves, tea towels, kitchen roll, plenty of loo roll, books, board games, DVDs, sewing kit, first aid kit, vacuum, sweeping brush and desk fan. Welcome basket of hot drinks and tasty biscuits and charming little vase of flowers on arrival. Dog treats and loan of mat, bowl, doggy blanket for sofa and towel were much appreciated. Lovely to relax in the wood burner-heated hot tub filled with spring water, under cover, with solar powered lights. We very much enjoyed our stay. Thank you David and Sonia!

  The lodge was a perfect getaway for me and my family.

  The location was perfect and so quiet which is exactly what we were looking for, the lodge was tidy and well equipped with everything you would need for the stay. The kids really enjoyed the welcome basket fully of goodies. The hot tub for us didn’t get hot enough but that’s just personal preference the kids still went in multiple times and loved it. Inside the lodge there was also a handy guide of local walks we could on which I thought was good (if it hadn’t rained the whole time!). Only suggestion we had was when meeting Sonia and David when we arrived we were told how to work everything such as hot tub and which bins for recycling but after they had gone we had already forgot! I feel this could be helpful if it was written down and left in the lodge but didn’t affect the stay in any way. I would definitely recommend staying here if you want a relaxing break away.

  If you are looking for a complete escape, then Blaenffynnon Bach is the place for you - quiet, remote but with every comfort of home.

  The cottage has been beautifully and sympathetically converted with plenty of room for a couple, well equipped with lots of storage. Bob and Rowena were lovely hosts - on hand if we had needed them but not intrusive in any way. They left us a lovely welcome basket of a small supply of tea and coffee, eggs and homemade Welsh cakes (the best we had!) and fresh milk and butter in the fridge. They also had a great selection of information about the area, various leaflets and a really handy AA map marked up with the barn's location in relation to various towns and places to visit - all very helpful indeed. Strong wi-fi signal in the property which was wonderful because as you can imagine in the Welsh hills and valleys, mobile reception isn't great! I wouldn't hesitate to revisit Blaenffynnon Bach! Thank you Bob and Rowena
