  A lovely cottage in a quiet and relaxing village setting.

  Good quality fittings and furnishings with a well stocked kitchen. A delightful gift of wine, milk, cake and eggs on arrival. The only drawback is that the owner Jenny, who is a helpful and friendly lady, had recently had a bad experience with renters allowing their muddy dogs to badly soil the upstairs carpets and beds, so now dogs are not allowed upstairs at all. If this had been in the cottage description we would have had to go elsewhere as our dogs sleep in crates in our bedroom at home. There is no gate at the bottom of the stairs, tho Jenny says she has one coming, but our dogs had to be shut in the kitchen at night and the young one cried and howled so we took turns in sleeping downstairs on the settee to stop this and prevent complaints from the neighbours. Other than this we thought the local area was amazing. Dog walks from the door, shops, eateries and interesting places in Newcastle Emlyn only 4 miles away and a fantastic dog friendly beach at Newport. Happy to strongly recommend if your dogs are ok sleeping in the kitchen.

  Really enjoyed our break - 4 adults and two grandchildren.

  Quite a few issues when we arrived, light bulb missing in the bedroom bedside lamp, no plug in ensuite bathtub, door didn't stay closed in bedroom, tumble dryer tripped out the electrics, downstairs shower temperature couldn't be adjusted. The owners happily came to inspect and some of the issues were rectified. We were also surprised we didn't receive a welcome pack as this is usual in all sykes cottages we have previously stayed in, however the owners did provide a dozen eggs at no charge. As we were leaving we had to retrieve a toy from behind a sofa, It was very dusty and didn't appear to have had a deep clean for a while. Mr and Mrs Evans were very friendly and were helpful with advice on where we should visit. The grandchildren loved their stay and thanks to Mr Evans for allowing our eldest grandchild to sit in his tractor and explore the farm.We had the pleasure of seeing one day old piglets, great base to stay for exploring the area around Cardigan and further afield.

  We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we arrived.

  The house was fantastic and is positioned close to lots of interesting places to visit. We had a look around the adjoining property and it would be fantastic to rent both if there was a big group. The downstairs bedrooms and wet room meant it was truly accessible for wheelchair users. Our daughter loved visiting the piglets and new calf that were born during our stay. We had an Asda grocery delivery which made life easy, but there are a few convenience stores in the local town. There are plenty of great places to eat nearby too (The Daffodil, La Calabria, Riverside cafe, The Bunch of Grapes, Pachamama [for Asian takeaway] and Nahar Indian). You definitely need to be prepared to drive to places though as there is nothing within walking distance, as the farm is in a beautiful rural setting. We look forward to visiting again in the future!

  The cottage on a working farm is really lovely, with en-suite in every bedroom, and a ground floor wet room for disabled access, which assisted my disabled grandson who is a wheelchair user and my grand daughter who has mobility problems.

  It is very clean and has a big kitchen, a utility cupboard with washing machine and dryer,TV's in all 4 bedrooms and lounge area and a table that seats 8 people. There's plenty of space for your clothes etc. Teifi, (Mr Evans), was kind enough to take us and our 4 grandchildren to see their cows and calves. Apparently, they don't keep pigs any more. The cottage is a good base to see sights, beach, Adventure etc. However, the weather was terrible for 3 days out of 7 days. We had to buy the children some indoor activities such as colouring books, puzzles, games and DVD's; it did state that there was games, CD's etc available and an enclosed patio, but there was none of these items, except for scrabble. We enjoyed our holiday, and a huge thank you to the owners, Mr & Mrs T Evans-:)

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

  The cottage was lovely and spacious. It was very welcoming and very clean. It was extremely well equipped and we wanted for nothing. We loved the cottage feel and the extra bonus was the burning log stove. The wine and eggs were also an added bonus on arrival! Our host was very friendly and was on hand if we needed anything - we didn't apart from buy logs off of her. She was very generous with the logs for which we were thankful. The weather was also lovely for the time of year. Would definitely go back some time and would definitely recommend. The village itself is very quiet with not much going on and lends itself to lots of lovely walks around the area - exactly what we needed! Wish we could have stayed longer. A perfect base for travelling around Pembrokeshire.
