Guests say
Hafan offers a fantastic location close to beautiful beaches and scenic countryside, making it ideal for those seeking a peaceful getaway. Guests appreciate the spaciousness and traditional charm of the cottage, as well as the abundance of towels and clean bedding. However, several reviews mention that the property is in need of maintenance, with issues such as draughty windows, mould, and dated facilities. While the setting is perfect for exploring the coast and relaxing outdoors, some guests found the cleanliness and upkeep below expectations.
Multiple guests noted issues with cobwebs, dust, mould on curtains and walls, and a general lack of thorough cleaning, especially behind furniture. However, bedding and towels were reported as clean.
The location is widely praised for its proximity to the coast, beautiful views, and peaceful countryside setting. Guests enjoyed easy access to beaches and walking paths.
While the cottage is spacious and provides plenty of towels and bedding, guests reported discomfort due to draughty windows, a hard bed, and issues with heating and hot water.
Facilities are described as tired and in need of renovation, with broken windows, a non-functional hot tub, rusty appliances, and limited kitchenware. Internet connectivity is also poor.
There is no mention of welcome gifts or thoughtful extras in the reviews, so a score cannot be provided for this category.

The location is amazing as we already knew! Having read the previous reviews we were aware that the property was a little tired!However the place was full of cobwebs and dusty. When furniture was moved it was clear that though cleaning had not taken place.There was two wine glasses and one champagne flute and an assortment of other none matching glasses, three cereal bowls and not enough cutlery for six people.There is mould on the walls in the dinning / tv room and again in the master bedroom. The views to the rear of the property are beautiful but can not be seen from inside due to the condensation in the double glazing.The bathroom window can not be closed as the frame has swelled, the bathroom lock will only work if your force the door towards the door frame to enable the lock bolt to slide across (the kids could not manage this).The TV aerial was not working so no TV for the kids, our firestick would not work due to the extremely poor internet that our devices could not find on the network.The outside area has an old hot tub with weeds growing out of it and a picnic table under some over grown trees.The property is currently for sale and we had a number of people knocking at the door to enquire about it.Thankfully we found all of the above quite amusing and we will never forget our week at Hafan.

Lovely location but the cottage is very run down. The bedding was clean and there was plenty of towels. Weather was very wet and windy when we were there so not good that the bathroom window wouldn’t close and all the other windows were drafty and the curtains were blowing. The back of my curtains in the double bedroom downstairs were covered in mould, I didn’t check the others. Conservatory nice to sit in but all the windows are blown and covered in condensation so couldn’t really see out. Also parts of the roof in there was lifting up with the wind. Kitchen equipment like fridge & microwave rusty. It’s a shame because it could be lovely and the views are lovely. We had to put things at the big gate as small dogs can get under it too. We went Friday to Friday but actually left on the Wednesday.

Fantastic location and space. Let down by poor upkeep and cleanliness. Good outside area, walking distance to Porth Colmon.
