Beautiful cottage, location perfect for a peaceful week away. The cottage was very clean, very well equipped & comfortable. Jonathan gave us good advice on dog walks. Aberystwyth not far away, lots of things to do. Tesco delivery driver found us easily. We will certainly make a return visit.

A fabulous cottage in a beautiful rural location. The cottage is absolutely lovely with all the comforts you need for a holiday. The garden at the cottage was also great for our dogs as it was enclosed and safe. Our hosts were so helpful and nice.

If you are looking to stay in this area then this is a lovely cottage conversion. Despite being on the south side of Aberystwyth the location also gives quick access to the town and areas to the North. Access to the property from the allocated car parking is via a path which slopes up. Although it is well designed within the limits of the site, thoRead morese with bad mobility may struggle with the gradient.
