Heating needs to be improved. There appears to be a limit on the temperature you can adjust it to and also time locked to certain temperatures. Everything else was ok.

Absolutely stunning cottage in a very quiet location. The pictures don't do it justice it was even nicer in person. Hot tub was amazing we were in there every day with the supplied prosecco plastic glasses (lovely touch). The house was immaculately clean and anything you could need was provided. Very high standard of finish inside which is unusual Read morefor an air BnB. The outside tap was super useful for the dogs, as was the fenced off front garden for letting them out. Honestly couldn't think of a single thing we were unhappy with. Also the local area was great; nant-y-moch reservoir is half hour away and one of the most breathtaking places in the UK in my opinion. We also travelled to Borth, Abaeron, Barmouth and Harlech as well as Aberystwyth town. Couldn't fault a single thing with the holiday. Feeling very relaxed thank you for all the attention to detail and to the cleaning staff for making it absolutely spotless. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hide

The cottage was beautiful. Immaculately clean, every gadget you could hope for and more. The beds were super comfy, the bathroom was compact and well thought out with a nice bath and a fantastic walk in shower. The stairs were a little difficult for my mum but we managed. Overall a fantastic stay thank you. The location is just outsidRead moree Aberystwyth, which has a great shopping centre, all the shops you could need. Watching the resident Red Kites and Buzzards was a real added bonus. Mum absolutely love the jacuzzi,a great extra. Hide
