Christine Barber
The cottage was pleasant, comfortable, warm, and quiet, located in a country village. Groceries and other amenities are just a short drive away. It was quite easy to get to places of interest - National Trust properties, seaside towns, like Aberaeron, with its brightly coloured houses, lovely honey ice cream and New Quay, with boat trips to see dolphins in the bay, are just a few of the nearby enticements. Ann, the owner, was very helpful, answering our questions and sharing her enthusiasm for the property. She has relatively recently inherited Ivy Bush Cottage and is committed to preserving and restoring some of its original features whilst making good use of environmentally and ecologically friendly systems. She is choosing to enhance the interior, where possible, with some interesting pieces of renovated furniture. If you want a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of life, then Ivy Bush Cottage is the place for you.

Beautiful cottage! Lots of space, comfortable beds, great kitchen and cosy sitting area. Lovely and warm too. Nice small village but not too far from lots of lovely places to visit. Great value for money.
