We had a wonderful weeks stay during the very cold snap and snow of January 2025 and we stayed toasty warm with the wonderful log burner and underfloor heating. Being all on one level was easy with our 3 dogs and we enjoyed some lovely walks from the property. The location is not far from the town of Aberystwyth, which has everything you might needRead more. Visiting in early January meant some of the attractions in the area were temporarily closed, but a big highlight of our visit was to observe the starling murmuration at the pier at dusk. We would recommend a visit and if you prefer to stay at a more remote location on a working farm, then this was perfect. Hide

Was amazing place to stay, Even if you didn't preplan anything before hand, they have already a pre-prepped guide book, with restaurants, places of interest, walks around the coast, inland and near the property. Place was amazing, clean and peaceful Mat and Alix were lovely, met them once at the start of the stay as we didn't need to botherRead more them with anything throughout our 5 day stay. Hide

We loved our week at Cambrian View. It's location is excellent giving the opportunity to explore both the coast, mountains and narrow guage railways. Our hosts were very friendly and more than happy to oblighe with any requests. Our two dogs were made most welcome and the nearby farm tracks provided excellent walking for them.

Great property with lovely views especially from the decking and hot tub. The welcome hamper was appreciated and, overall, we had a great holiday. However, the cleanliness of both the outside and indoor spaces could have been better and the wifi was limited and non existent on the decking - a booster is needed.

The property was beautiful, a few upgrades on pots, pans and utensils are needed, apart from that great location, easy check in and check out. Original cottage send daily reminders for the week coming up to our holiday booking with the same check in details and how to get there which felt a bit over excessive since we read and saved them the first Read moretime round but maybe others would find all the emails and text message reminders useful.
