Guests say
Plyg-y-Rhiw is a well-equipped cottage in a peaceful and beautiful setting, with a stream and woods adding to its charm. Guests have enjoyed relaxing breaks, the local scenery, and the cosy atmosphere, despite some concerns over maintenance and cleanliness.
Reviews indicate a mix of experiences with cleanliness. Some guests found the property clean and tidy, while others reported issues with mould, a dirty oven, and general uncleanliness, leading to a below-average score.
The location is praised for its tranquillity, beautiful views, and proximity to local attractions. However, concerns about road proximity for pets and noise from farm machinery slightly affect the score.
The cottage is described as cosy and comfortable by several guests, with a warm fireplace and serene decked area. However, some discomfort due to initial lack of heating and mould affects the score.
Facilities are generally appreciated, with a well-equipped kitchen and lovely outdoor areas. However, maintenance issues such as broken appliances and the need for a deep clean lower the score.
While there is a mention of a kind gesture with Welsh cakes, milk, and butter, there are not enough references to consistently assess the thoughtfulness of the host, and thus the score is set to null. It should be noted that such gifts are a kind touch but not guaranteed.

Our trip coincided with Storm Ciaran so we arrived with enough food, drink and firewood for our trip and battened down the hatches! We enjoyed a really relaxing couple of days and were very comfortable. The cottage was clean and had what we needed for our stay. Thank you very much for the milk, butter and Welsh cakes - very kind of you. The directions provided by Melanie were good and we found the cottage easily - not sure we would have, however, if weâd arrived in the dark. Parking was fine for large car although very muddy! Would we stay again? - very possibly.

The whole house needs a deep clean but this will not solve the overriding problem. One of the knobs for the hob was broken but just placed back which is a safety hazard. Also the oven racks are too small for the oven rendering it useless.
