We enjoyed our stay at Y Cartws very much. The house is very cozy and has a well-stocked kitchen for self-catering. The view from upstairs over the churchyard was a lovely unexpected touch. It is also very well situated for visiting Lampeter and the Ceredigion coast, and has some nice walks nearby. Pauline was an excellent host as well!

Lovely spacious cottage. Everything you need is there although some of the fixtures and fittings were a little tired. Very quiet location but the garden is not fenced which would have been good for our young dog.
