Guests say
Magnolia Cottage is a spacious and well-located property in Aberaeron, ideal for large groups and families. Guests consistently praise its proximity to the town centre, generous parking, and the large communal spaces, including a lovely garden and impressive kitchen-diner. While many enjoyed their stay and found the house comfortable, several reviews mention that the property would benefit from a deep clean and some updates to furnishings and kitchen equipment. Despite some maintenance issues, the cottage remains a popular choice for group getaways, with its excellent location and ample space standing out as key highlights.
Cleanliness is a recurring concern, with multiple guests noting dusty areas, dirty kitchen utensils, and bathrooms, as well as cobwebs and unclean windows. Some guests found the property clean and comfortable, but the majority suggest a deep clean is needed.
The location is highly praised, with guests appreciating the short walk to Aberaeron town centre, proximity to the beach, and quiet setting despite being near amenities. The convenience and setting are standout positives.
Guests generally found the cottage spacious and suitable for large groups, with comfortable beds and good communal areas. However, some mentioned uncomfortable mattresses and tired furnishings, which affected their comfort.
The property is well-equipped for groups, offering ample parking, a large kitchen, and useful appliances. However, several reviews mention maintenance issues such as a faulty oven, worn kitchen equipment, leaking taps, and a wobbly bannister, indicating room for improvement.

Great house for larger family groups. Plenty of space for everyone and having a downstairs bedroom and wetroom is really helpful for those who are not able to manage stairs. Very close to the centre of Aberaeron and plenty of parking.

Perfect and a very large cottage, great for families! Easy walking distance into the centre of Aberaeron in 5 minutes. Easy check in and out instructions. The only thing which I would recommend is to renew a few kitchen things eg cooking equipment and utensils. Some utensils were broke and the iron is not in best of condition. These are minor things to fantastic home and would recommend to anyone family staying in the area!
