Outside, you can sit on the patio and lawned area and reminisce your day and talk of your adventures for tomorrow. The immediate area is surrounded by lovely walks, especially along the River Ceri and River Teifi running through Newcastle Emlyn, which also has some fantastic river and castle walks, as well as famous river fishing.

Had everything we could need. Would rather a washing machine than a dish washer. The friendly owners were close to answer any questions and had lots of information handy for places to go. We were very lucky with the unusually hot weather, sometimes too hot The garden furniture provided a large umbrella, chairs and a large table and reclining chairs. Sat outside for some of our meals. Sat in the dark in the late evening listening to the river, the owls and star gazing. Really enjoyed our holiday.
