  The cottage is great - completed to a very high standard and very clean. We visited the local pub at the end of the road which was lovely and the staff extremely friendly. The milk shed opposite was nice offering fresh milk, eggs, honey etc. The park opposite was great for our dog, she loved going over there for a run! We also had a lovely walk up to Paxtons Tower, lovely views over the area. However, we were very concerned that the back boundary fence was quite low and contained 2 rows of barbed wire! considering this is supposed to be a dog and child friendly property we felt this was a huge safety issue. If not remedied there will be a nasty accident for either a dog or a child. There are sheep in the field at the back of the property and this makes that boundary very interesting to a dog! There was also a significant gap at the end of the fence separating it from next door (Cliftonville House) - we blocked this off with a wheelie bin and next door wasn't occupied so not a huge problem but it will pose a problem when the 2 properties are rented out at the same time. When we arrived it was a hot and sunny weekend - there was no shade in the garden - we would recommend a patio umbrella or canopy. We also would have appreciated knowing in advance that logging was taking place on the nearly hillside - at 7.30am each morning we were woken up by chainsaws and heavy machinery - we appreciate this is beyond the property owners control but i think a notice on the booking site making people aware of this would have been appropriate and courteous. I assume at some stage this will cease but for now it is a nuisance! No welcome pack which was a shame :( - it would have been a nice touch. If these issues are addressed we think it would a lovely holiday rental.

  This is the first time we, as a family, have ever booked a cottage type break away - it won't be the last.

  This is a delightful cottage and far exceeded the expectations from the already wonderful pictures you see here. It is spacious with 2 sitting rooms. The main sitting room has a log burner with everything provided to get it going. I've no idea how to use one, but I gave it a go and had a nice fire going. Has a TV with all the usual channels and iplayer etc. The other sitting room is equally as nice but you may need your own firestick there if you want to watch the television. But we didn't do much telly watching - so only briefly looked. Kitchen diner is massive! All you need to cook is here. Very good quality throughout. Ensuite main bedroom. Make sure you pull the blind down (You'll see!). Bed is extremely comfy. The children reported the same from there room too! Now, the cottage is on a main road, so there is a bit of traffic noise - but to be honest its not really an issue. The boiler clicks a bit in the main bedroom when the heating comes on but again you're being uber picky if this is an issue. The outside is just lovely. You can spend hours in the hot tub, listening to tunes if you want, or the blissful sound of absolute calm. It is really secluded too so no one can see round the back. There is a lovely little welcome back - and a folder with all you need to know about the cottage and the area. A brilliant touch. As it says, everything is a bit of a drive away, but an ideal base for exploring Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. Our only regret is not being able to stay a bit longer. Out two asked when we were going back. I said I didn't know - but we will be going back to this beautifully presented cottage.

  We stayed at garden view cottage for almost a week.

  The location was ideal. just half hour away we watched the sunset at new quay harbour and went on a boat ride to watch some dolphins . We visited Tresaith aberporth beach and Tresaith waterfall it was beautiful. Chris and Steph were amazing hosts they were friendly, welcoming, understanding and really made us feel at home. They made adjustments to make us feel comfortable which we really appreciated and are grateful for, thank you both for a lovely stay ! The cottage had everything we needed for our stay , it was comfortable and ideal with little ones. The cottage had a lovely bedroom view of the garden which was nice to look out in the morning . The area was so peaceful surrounded by nature which was amazing for us as we live in a busy city.We are missing it already, my children just loved exploring the garden and say they miss the holiday home . Thanks again for everything and we wish you the best for the future

  A beautiful secluded holiday home with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

  The scenery through the beacons is breath taking, and the same goes for the working farm you arrive at. The owners met us on arrival with some extra towels and bits then left us too our own devices. They offered us the opportunity to go and feed the lambs which I thought was lovely as you can see they are always so busy but we didn't want to intrude on this stay. Maybe next time, as we will book this place again! The holiday home is perfectly sized for a few days/ weeks stay but I will state to make sure that you take everything you'll think you'll need as the shop is not just round the corner- to us this was part the fun... though forgetting the milk didn't go down well! If you want romance, peace and beautiful scenery then this place is a must.

  This cottage is just as described.

  It's cosy, has lots of space and was just perfect for our Christmas getaway. There was a Christmas tree and decorations that made it a perfect home away from home. The log fire place also added that touch of cosiness. The beds were comfortable, the duvets and pillows were all very comfy and warm too. The kitchen and dining area was so spacious, even with us all getting things ready for our Christmas dinner. The garden setting and hot tub were such bonus. It was great being able to just relax, with music on and in such an isolated area. We didn't go out and about much, but that wasn't the purpose for our getaway. We literally just wanted to chill and have fun with the family. We would love to go back and will definitely be recommending this property.
