The cottage was very clean and well equipped, it really was a home from home. The location was excellent, and seeing the red kites flying about was incredible were already planning another visit. I have no hesitation in recommending this delightful cottage.

Hafod was a great little place to stay near Aberystwyth. The cottage had everything needed for our stay, was comfortable and cosy. Great communication also from the owner and caretaker, and would truly recommend this cottage if looking for a quiet location to stay on the outskirts of Aberystwyth.

Great place to stay. Lovely property and the caretaker is very friendly and helpful. Biggest thing for me was it had its own EV charge point. We drive a full Electric car so it took a big strain off the holiday having that at the cottage.
