Confirmed Guest
A spacious house in a good location, just a short drive from Cardigan. Pros: 5 bedrooms, good price, hot tub, pool table, fire and well equipped kitchen. Helpful host, quick response to messages. Cons: sadly in need of some TLC (such good potential) and general repairs (mainly cosmetic). Leak from ensuite shower and two of the toilets. Issue with the heating upstairs (despite best attempts of owner to repair during our stay). Parts of oven not igniting. Carpet needing cleaning in places and paint touch ups. I think most of the issues in isolation didnt impact our stay but were compounded by the heating issue.

The cottage is a great base for a group of family or friends. There are lots of great places within a 40 minute drive & the hot tub is a perfect for relaxing after a great day out. The owners are really helpful. We would return.
