What our customers say about their holidays

  We stayed at Yr Hen Ffald over the Christmas break, originally booking for 7 nights, which we increased to 12, then further to 16 nights as we just couldn't tear ourselves away!

  From the moment we stepped in through the front door and met our host, Dawn, we could feel the warmth and welcome of this very special home. The cottage is cosy and comfortable, very spacious, and above all else, sparkling clean. The cupboards were filled with everything you could possibly need during your stay from clean towels and bedding, to having all the kitchen utensils you'd have in your own home. You're also guaranteed a good night's sleep in your tranquil surroundings; despite only being a stone's throw from the M4 there is no traffic noise whatsoever, you're just surrounded by lush green fields where mornings are welcomed with the most beautiful sunrises and the days close with sunsets befitting of oil paintings (should you of course be lucky with the weather). There was a beautiful welcome basket on arrival piled high with goodies and being Christmastime, every room had been tastefully decorated, oozing festive charm. We will definitely be booking ahead for Christmas next year with undoubtedly a good few trips in between as I'm sure it will be wonderful to experience the changing of the seasons in this stunning location. 5* go to Dawn and Brian for their hospitality; living not too far away themselves they were only too happy to help should we have needed anything, which we didn't during our stay as it was perfect, but even so it was just nice to see Dawn's smiling face now and again when she'd visit to prepare the neighbouring property, a converted barn which they also rent as a holiday let (Ysgubor Hir). There were probably three different families staying there during our stay, but there was no disturbance whatsoever and we still felt as though we were the only ones there. We cannot recommend this property highly enough! Dawn a Brian, diolch yn fawr am eich caredigrwydd. Gobeithio eich gweld chi yn fuan iawn. Mags a Paul.

  We booked Yr Hen FFald for the Christmas period - five adults and a 6-year old boy.

  Everything was spotless when we arrived, with everything that we would need for a wonderful Christmas holiday - there were ever Christmas decorations everywhere! Cooking facilities were ideal and there was plenty of space to store all our food in cupboards, a good sized refrigerator and a large freezer, plus the extra space in the utility room and garage. There were plenty of games of all sorts to entertain the 6-year old, including the pool table in the garage. The beds were comfortable and warm, there was plenty of seating in the living room and lots of space around the dining table. We don't have a dish washer at home, so it was lovely to have one to use at the cottage - saved a lot of time, of course, and much appreciated! A big 'thank you' to Dawn, our wonderful, friendly host who didin't bat en eyelid when she saw the mountain of re-cyclable things and the other refuse that we had managed to generate. We can thoroughly recommend Yr Hen Ffald for anyone who wants to stay in this beautiful part of Wales.

  An absolutely wonderful, fantastic, amazing cottage with beautiful views all around.

  Dawn, our host had left a lovely welcome hamper of goodies, which was just what we needed after a long stressful day on our arrival day. The cottage is by far the best I've ever been in. All furnishings were a very high standard. There was everything you could need, dishwasher tablets, cloths, condiments, tea, coffee, sugar etc. There were even some bath salts, bath cubes and antibacterial hand wash. Perfect for guests with limited mobility as it is all on one level. There are chairs in both the back and front gardens, so you can relax and take in the view. Highly recommended and would definitely return. If you're looking for a day trip out, I'd recommend a Dolphin spotting trip at Cardigan Bay.

  We enjoyed staying in this lovely cottage set in a very good location with fields in all directions.

  The property was clean and very modern, tastefully decorated, beds were comfortable, all the rooms were a good size and i was surprised at how well the kitchen was equipped. The added welcome basket was a lovely touch too! Dawn was very nice and helpful and popped by to ask if everything was alright. We were able to get to many places in about an hour or so from the location. We were about a little over an hour away from the Brecon Beacons. Gower, The Mumbles and Swansea were only 30 mins away and we even went as far as the Pembrokeshire coast. Tesco superstore was only 10 mins away and had plenty of choice including for those who are vegan or gluten intolerant.
