Fantastic views and lovely hot tub (very remote and quiet) but very tired property. We found the cleanliness to be of a very poor quality. Bathroom/shower over the bath is in dire need of attention as is the rest of the property with peeling paint and missing plaster. Beds were very comfortable but the dust and cobwebs were really unacceptableRead more. Fantastic walks straight from the door. Owner was extremely helpful when the hot tub ceased to work and sorted the problem within a day. Hide

We had a fantastic holiday here. Having arrived in a storm, we found the woodburner and range lit for us so the cottage was cosy and welcoming as the power was temporarily down. Margaret and Enoch couldnt have done more to help us ..making special trips to the local shop for bottled water and supplying candles and torches and lots of logs. The poweRead morer was quickly restored and the rest of our stay was without incidence. The house is spacious with comfy bedrooms, all with lovely views. The hot tub was amazing. Perfect on a freezing night to sit and watch the stars. The local area is very beautiful and the beach at Borth was nearby. Considering we stayed in November we were lucky with the weather. I would definitely recommend this stay, excellent value for money, friendly and helpful hosts and a really beautiful location. I would love to come againand as a previous reviewer said, one of those homes you want to live in forever. Hide

Cottage has a good location however the property is tired and in need of improvement to the bathroom and cooking equipment. The property requires a deep clean and safe patio furniture. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review. Weve spoken to the owner and the issue has now been resolved.
