However, there was often (in the daytime) some noise from the road traffic above and from what appeared to be a farm/maintenance yard next door. The space outside was a sun trap, but no BBQ (or loungers) and the outside bench/table was rotting along with a ripped/dirty parasol so all meals were eaten inside. The road from the property (on exit) was sometimes very difficult to join given the lack of visibility when turning right. PS If you intend to go out all day these issues may be less relevant to you.

Lovely Owners who were very helpful. Large hot tub, always on and well maintained by property owners. Great living spaces and bedrooms. Nice and warm if you want it to be, nice and cool and breezy if you want it to be. We had to have some wood for the burner on one night because "british summer" lol, we just messaged and the owner brought us some straight away. Towel radiator and plenty of other radiators to dry towels on when you've "hot tubbed". Plenty of hot water at all/any times. Really nice hot clean shower with rain head and normal head. Spacious and great. Surprising how a poor bathroom can ruin a holiday, well this one won't at all, did not disappoint in any way. Kitchen was good, plenty of equipment to cook and look after yourself and family. Only slight minor for us was no washing machine, but the linens and towels were changed for us on the Friday (as we were there for 2 weeks), and there's a launderette in Borth (and one in Aber). Dishwasher tablets were provided too, and a nice welcome basket with some great "just arrived" goodies until you can get yourself sorted. An easy walk down into Borth town (just out the front of the property, down through the neighbouring caravan park entrance, and along the river to the "animalarium", then along a road into Borth itself. Great with the 4 legged friend(s), and took us about 30 minutes including doggy sniffing and jumping in the river stops, to get to the main street. This is good, as the road way to walk in would feel a little hairy at parts. There is a road just by the property but honestly you can't really hear it. TV in main room and bedroom, both smart, and modern, so you can get your own stuff on or use the large amount of included entertainment. There's a neighboring cottage attached, their front door faces away from yours, and we only saw people a handful of times to say hello to and you couldn't hear anything from their side even if we were both out in our respective hot tubs. Plenty of parking out front a few short steps from the front of your cottage. I would recommend this to any friend or family, it's a great place and the owners were lovely.
