We loved our week at Bwlchraig Fach. The cottage is very peaceful and quiet but has everything you could possibly need. We had a couple of days when it rained but we were cosy and warm with the woodburner lit. Lovely walks nearby, and lots of wildlife. Easy drive to the coast at Aberaeron and National Trust house and garden at Llanerchaeron. We would definitely stay here again.

The house was very comfortable, nicely refurbished, spacious but cosy, especially with log burner which I appreciated over a wet weekend. Was left in peace, but hosts never far away if I had needed anything. Only deducted a star for limited internet, but great value apart from that

We had a wonderful stay in Wales with my partner and dog. The cottage was spotles, clean, and very tidy, with stunning views of the surrounding farm that made our stay even more relaxing.
