  Really nice holiday place, we would recommend.

  Lovely Owners who were very helpful. Large hot tub, always on and well maintained by property owners. Great living spaces and bedrooms. Nice and warm if you want it to be, nice and cool and breezy if you want it to be. We had to have some wood for the burner on one night because "british summer" lol, we just messaged and the owner brought us some straight away. Towel radiator and plenty of other radiators to dry towels on when you've "hot tubbed". Plenty of hot water at all/any times. Really nice hot clean shower with rain head and normal head. Spacious and great. Surprising how a poor bathroom can ruin a holiday, well this one won't at all, did not disappoint in any way. Kitchen was good, plenty of equipment to cook and look after yourself and family. Only slight minor for us was no washing machine, but the linens and towels were changed for us on the Friday (as we were there for 2 weeks), and there's a launderette in Borth (and one in Aber). Dishwasher tablets were provided too, and a nice welcome basket with some great "just arrived" goodies until you can get yourself sorted. An easy walk down into Borth town (just out the front of the property, down through the neighbouring caravan park entrance, and along the river to the "animalarium", then along a road into Borth itself. Great with the 4 legged friend(s), and took us about 30 minutes including doggy sniffing and jumping in the river stops, to get to the main street. This is good, as the road way to walk in would feel a little hairy at parts. There is a road just by the property but honestly you can't really hear it. TV in main room and bedroom, both smart, and modern, so you can get your own stuff on or use the large amount of included entertainment. There's a neighboring cottage attached, their front door faces away from yours, and we only saw people a handful of times to say hello to and you couldn't hear anything from their side even if we were both out in our respective hot tubs. Plenty of parking out front a few short steps from the front of your cottage. I would recommend this to any friend or family, it's a great place and the owners were lovely.

  The accommodation was lovely and clean and spacious.

  .everything needed provided ..comfortable double bed and two very comfortable sofas...Great shower too....however on arrival stepping into the building it was dark and felt cold...the details in advertising the property stated a basket of wood for the log burner would be provided...as there wasn't one we rang the given contact number to be told they no longer provide it but the host said she would see what she could do...we decided to go out to try and source somewhere to buy fire wood...luckily we were given directions from a lady in the local shop and were able to purchase some ...despite it being late in the day ..once we got the log burner going it warmed our accommodation up so we were comfortable ..maybe in summer ..warmer months there may be no need for the log burner but during our stay we needed it as the underfloor heating is on a timer set by the hosts and is totally impractical for guests... without the fire the accommodation felt cold...we also felt that despite the comfortable mattress the actual bedding could do with upgrading ..the pillows were flat and the quilt didn't keep us warm .. In general we were happy with our stay ..there has obviously been a lot of thought and care into the layout and design of everything inside The only thing that would put us of staying again is the outside area ...there is a huge canopy/porch outside the double doors which makes inside very dark...the outside area for the accommodation is grim...and dominated by concrete slabs...gravel and a huge steel structure housing the hot tub...totally uninspiring and not inviting...and the view is of some sort of large maintenance yard ? Another not so good point is that the accommodation is right next to a busy and noisy road which could also be heard within the accommodation ...on the whole the actual accommodation was good despite the heating system however the outside area made you feel you were anywhere else but near the sea ..and wasn't a uplifting space to want to be in .

  Stayed for a week in the Hayloft.

  On arrival was blown away with the views from the property as it’s set in a beautiful, quiet location with views of the welsh landscape. The owners of the property were really welcoming, helpful and friendly and made the stay very comfortable. There was a lovely basket with cheese, jams and welsh cakes on arrival as well as milk and bread which was really appreciated to help get us settled in after a long journey. Not important to everyone, but I thought the fact that we had extra towels in the bathroom not just the regular hand and bath towel you normally get were a nice touch too. The property is well thought out, clean and comfortable. Added bonus is the property has a games room, a small children’s play area and a maze made of maze. We used the games room and the maze which were fun to use on an afternoon/evening. The location of the property is perfect for those who want a quiet, peaceful location with beautiful countryside views which is close enough to amenities - local shop is a short walk away; pubs, the beach, coastal walks (which are stunning!!) are approx 10-30 minute drive depending on which part of the coast you choose to visit. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning!

  The shower leaks and I saw in previous comments this is an ongoing issue and not been dealt with, it would be good to mention that it’s coal only for the fire as I took a boot load of logs to use only to have to take them home again and buy coal.

  The cottage could do with a little love but I guess the price reflects the condition. The TV could be bigger but that’s nit picking and it was a smart tv so offered Netflix and prime which was good. A 3 seater sofa would be better than the current 2seater and the fridge is a good size but the property would benefit from a bigger freezer space ( particularly as we went at Christmas and took lots of food with us as we knew we were not near a supermarket) The welcome pack was delightful and most welcome after a long drive, the beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed the radio in the bedroom. Secure garden for our small dogs was also very good . We would stay again as we really liked the area and would like to explore more possibly spring time . We didn’t visit the pub but it looked nice , the tea rooms were closed for the duration of our stay so can’t comment on it at all . Parking outside the cottage was fine and overall it was a nice place to stay and relax The heating system is efficient and on a timer but there are instructions to change settings if you need to, we didn’t but it was straightforward.

  Great cottage, clean and with all the necessary essentials throughout (e.

  G. hairdryer) and particularly in the kitchen, including dishwasher. Plenty of info, the cottage booklet saved a lot of hassle in getting to know the locality. Much appreciated welcome gift from local farm shop of milk, bread, jams and bara brith cake. Ideal location, opposite the church in Mathry, having The Farmers Arms pub within 100 yards. Being just of the main A487 between St David's and Fishguard, the local Spar and petrol station is an easy 3 minute drive. Strong and hot shower, does drip onto floor but plenty of cleaning wipes or towels to manage. No sign of reported damp. Inside is generally more spacious than it appears in the photos. Parking in front of cottage on wide road. Could do with paved patio in small rear garden as only has 4 plastic chairs and grassed area. Also no recycling provision and St David's no longer has this
