We have stayed at Ystwyth before. Diana is a great host and the house is perfectly situated on the beach. It is well equipped and a real home away from home. Many thanks

Family holiday in August 2026. Beautiful location right on the edge of the sea. It was like being home, everything we needed was provided. 4 Bedrooms were a good size with an options of single beds to double, the two main bedrooms having balconies overlooking the sea. The restaurant across the road, Libanus was pricey but the food and service was define. Take time to go to the cinema, which is situated in the same building. Acorns Chippy and Lous Pizza on the high street also recommended. Diana and Bill owners of the house were exceptional from start to finish nothing was too much trouble for them and answered any questions we may have had promptly.Already looking at booking again.
