A really cosy, well equipped holiday home! Loved the balcony over the river - perfect for a G & T on a sunny evening! A peaceful spot, yet so close to shops and restaurants. The river walk was lovely. A few problems finding nearby parking, but, fortunately, the weather was fine so walking from the car park was ok.

Lovely, cosy cottage on the banks of the river. We spent time watching the ducks, ducklings, pigeons and a heron enjoying themselves in the water. Ideal location for exploring the town and only minutes away are the lovely coves and caves that make Ceredigion such a wonderful place to visit.

A very comfortable holiday cottage with a lovely riverside balcony. Very convenient for the shops. Parking was uncertain but we always found a place in the street or adjacent ones. It would be interesting to know if anyone got fined for parking on the yellow lines as we never saw a parking official!
