Guests say
Dyffryn Haidd is a well-equipped, peaceful cottage offering a tranquil retreat with beautiful views and a hot tub. Guests appreciate the welcome pack and find the property comfortable, though the remote location and access via single track roads are noted.
There is no specific mention of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide a score for this category.
The cottage's remote location is appreciated for its quietness and lack of traffic, but the distance from amenities and the challenging access via single track roads are seen as drawbacks by some guests.
The property is described as comfortable and well-equipped, with a spacious living room and a welcome pack that adds to the comfort. However, the low ceiling in the main bedroom and the issue with dogs not being allowed upstairs affected the comfort for one guest.
The house is praised for its good facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen and a hot tub. However, the non-functioning bath jacuzzi suggests some maintenance issues, slightly lowering the score.
Guests were delighted by the thoughtful welcome pack, which included homemade cake and eggs. While such gestures are highly appreciated, they are not guaranteed for every stay.

The whole area is blessed with an abundance of walks and cycle trails, many taking in the sights where the TV detective series ‘Hinterland’ is filmed. Guided Hinterland walks are also available to book locally. The scenery within the Cambrian Mountains is unsurpassed and a must do is a trip along the Vale of Rheidol steam railway from Devil’s Bridge, just 5 miles away. You will also find a pub, café, a small chocolate factory and shop here. The steam railway meanders to the coastal town of Aberystwyth, travelling through the Rheidol Valley.
The seaside town of Aberystwyth offers an array of shops, restaurants and cafés, as well as the pier and promenade. To the north end of the sea front is the Victorian Cliff Railway, taking passengers on the stately journey to the summit of Constitution Hill, where you can enjoy a coffee whilst taking in the magnificent views of Cardigan Bay. Being a university town, there’s a very good arts centre and theatre, and the national Library of Wales offers free guided tours. If it’s beaches you’re after then Ceredigion has a stunning selection and over 60 miles of coastal path too. At the northern end of the superb Borth beach, is the impressive sand dune system of the Ynyslas National Nature Reserve and visitor centre, which juts out halfway across the Dovey Estuary. Visit Ynys-Hir, the rspb wildlife haven and the Dyfi Osprey Project.
Dyffryn Haidd is just 9 miles away from the historic market town of Tregaron, which was once famous as a strategic point for drovers taking animals from west Wales to the markets in England. Today it is a centre for ‘Trotian’ - horse trotting and carriage racing which attracts competitors from all over the UK and Ireland for its events. It is also the home to the Welsh Gold Centre which sells Celtic inspired designs. Tregaron is a ’walkers are welcome’ town and the annual Bro Tregaron Walking Festival held in May is a firm favourite on the walking calendar.
Ceredigion is perfect for a short break, or equally a longer stay away, with stunning landscapes, award winning beaches, sea cliffs, wonderful wildlife, and starry dark skies.

Nice place. Single track roads are a bit iffy in places really remote no near shops or takeaway about. Miles from anywhere..nearest pub 6miles away to get food and with the roads takes forever to get there. Bath jacuzzi didn't work. Ceiling low in main bedroom ,bumped head a few times. Greeted with nice cake and tea coffee and milk which was very appreciated. Had to make bed up downstairs as dogs not allowed upstairs and on 1st night dogs crying as not wanting to be left. Would recommend this place if you don't mind being remote. Lovely and quiet ,hardly any traffic on the roads. House well equipped with all your needs.
