"The cottage lives up to its name."
Very warm and comfortable. We will definitely book again as it was exactly what we needed
-
"We stayed at cozy cwtch as we had come down from the Highlands of Scotland to see our son and his family ."
We were locals of the area up until 3 years ago. It was a lovely house in general well kept .Garden fenced off for your dogs but I personally would move the small gate just to the otherside of the garden gate so it would stop the dogs running around to the front on their way to it .A few cooking extras would be great ,a hand whisk and smaller saucepans again that's just me. I know some have complained about the lack of sound proofing in the bathroom but that's what you get with an old property as ours is the same.It was clean ,tidy & perfect to see our family in Cenarth .Plenty to do and see .

"Our stay at cozy cwtch cottage was one of the best we've had in the UK."
The cottage was perfect for us and our two dogs. There's so much space inside and the securely fenced back garden was a godsend. The cottage is perfectly positioned for easy access to lots of beaches and places to visit. Sammy and John, the owners are a delight,cso friendly and helpful. The welcome pack was extravagant and very unexpected. Its the first time of holidaying in self catering accommodation that we've had so much left for us. We had a fantastic time and can't wait to stay there again soon xx
And you were perfect guests and we can’t wait to host you again! Sammy and John Property Owner

"The cottage is in an excellent location."
It is was very clean and well equipped. The bed was firm and comfortable. The welcome pack was really well thought out and generous. Nice and secure garden for the small dogs.

"We liked this place from the moment we arrived."
It has character. It’s clearly an older property that’s had upgrades, it’s not cutting edge but it is very comfortable, spacious and well equipped. It has good heating, hot water and towels and bedding are good. The kitchen is well equipped with decent crockery. The icing on the cake is the lovely location. A really nice rural location but a fantastic village shop at the end of the street, an absolute tardis with everything you could possibly want. At the top end of the road, views around the valley. As per some earlier reviews, the soundproofing from the bathroom isn’t great, there’s some squeaky wooden floors and the old style door latches can seem noisy at night but none of it is a showstopper. Owners great. Highly recommended

Lovely property warm and clean and ideally placed for days out Only one slight criticism ,maybe some noise insulation under the bathroom area wouldn’t go amiss

"Lovely cottage."
Just got back from 4 night stay. 2 adults and 2 dogs. Looks small, but like the tardis inside is bigger than it would appear! Kitchen very well equipped. 5 ring gas hob, oven, grill, microwave, air fryer, fridge freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. No tumble dryer but washing line in garden and also in boot room/back entrance. Stairs are quite steep so if you have small dogs you would have to carry them up or leave them downstairs. Not suitable for small children as per owners description. Upstairs bathroom with triton shower over bath. Easy to use. No problem with getting hot water. King size beds in both bedrooms. Central heating in all rooms and woodburner in living/dining area. Freeview tv and free wifi. Bedrooms well furnished and clean. Whole place was spotless and very well looked after. Small welcome pack of essentials on arrival, bread, butter, milk, tea bags and welsh cakes. Rear enclosed garden accessible by back yard. Beware dogs can get from rear garden gate to front garden where there is only a small wall. There is a small driveway to park in but is quite narrow. Shop down the road is a little gem and open until 7pm. Pub also down the road and dog friendly. Pub is closed monday and tuesday. All in all a lovely cottage and really enjoyed our time there. Date of stay: September 2023

"This was a really lovely cottage, better than it looks in the photos."
Clean, warm and comfortable, we had everything we needed. Kitchen was excellent! Garden was safe for Rhea the spaniel and we enjoyed a couple of lazy lunches out there. Plenty to do in the area, Mwnt was a favourite. Local shop was really well stocked and I can recommend brunch at the Daffodil. Parking on the drive was fine and the neighbours were friendly. Weather could have been kinder to us but still a great break. The welcome pack was fabulous! Thanks so much Sammi x

"Lovely cottage."
Everything we needed. A welcome basket with essential items was left for us which saved us having to go shopping as soon as we arrived. One minor observation....the bedrooms and bathroom door were very noisy to open or close so had to be very careful not to wake other people during the night. Other than that we all had a very enjoyable stay. Would recommend.

"Hi. I was tempted to cut back the foliage on the driveway for you as its getting a bit overgrown, however it didnt detract from the lovely stay we had."
Looking forward to coming back in a couple of years. Thank you
Hi Charles, there were birds nesting in the hedge. We will trim it again once they leave. Glad you enjoyed and we’d love to have you back again Property Owner

"We really enjoyed our stay in this cottage which lived up to its name."
The cottage is in ideal location not far from the stunning coast or from many walks in woods and delightful countryside. Do visit the well stocked local shop and the Daffodil which serves really good food. Back to the cottage which was very clean, beds were comfortable, kitchen was well equipped, lounge/diner was again comfortable, garden was secure for our dogs and we spent time enjoying it. Tin opener needs replacing, could do with a smaller frying pan, kitchen door latch needs attention as we had to put a chair in front of the door at night to keep dogs in the kitchen and a curtain on the front would just help with glare on television before sunset. These are very minor things. Well done to Sammy and John and thank you for the welcome pack.

"Wonderful stay at cosy Cwtch cottage,perfect for exploring,loved the log burner , and large garden for my dog to do her zoomies, and lovely starter hamper and treats for the dog ."
-
"Great welcome pack wirh treats for our 2 dogs aswell, Lovely cottage, well equipped kitchen, great base for visiting the Pembrokeshire Coast."
Would not hesitate to book again in the future.

"Cottage was very good, enhanced by a most generous Welcome Pack, which was much appreciated!"
Spacious and well laid out, and spotless, ideal for dogs also, who enjoyed the enclosed garden at the back of the cottage. Car could be parked off the road, which was good as the lane was quite busy at times. Plenty of places to visit without driving too far - LLangranog and Mwnt, both stunning. Also enjoyed Cenarth. Would definitely recommend this cottage.
-
"Cozy Cwtch cottage is a lovely place."
It has everything you need for a week or two away. The moment we arrived there was a welcome package waiting for us. The neighbours were very friendly and on the first day told us where the best places to walk the dogs locally. Ideally situated we could get to nearby beaches within about half an hour. Highly reccomend this place and we will be staying there next year
And you would be most welcome! Fabulous guests Property Owner

"The cottage itself was very nice, clean, comfortable and well equipped."
There were no instructions for anything so the heating stayed on despite warm weather! The big problem was the parking. I could not get my Honda Civic - not an enormous car - into the cottage drive and have space to open the doors to get out, (my sister, with a Citroen C3, JUST managed it). The owners advice to put my car outside in front of the cottage, was not much use on two counts. A) the neighbours opposite came out to tell me that it made manoeuvring their own cars very difficult and could I move mine. B) given the size and speed of some of the traffic going up the lane, it was not sensible to park a car on the opposite side of the road to everyone else; the mammoth tractor pulling spray equipment would certainly not have got through without damage to somebody's car. It is obviously causing trouble with the neighbouring residents and some compromise needs to be sorted out.
Hi Sue, Thank you for the review and I’m pleased the cottage was clean and comfortable. Very disappointed with the rest of the review. Not too sure what the problem was there is an obvious on/off switch for the boiler the heating was only on for a few hours early morning and late evening as it can still get chilly. The option to just switch it off is there, and we live 3 miles away and we’re always at the end of a phone. As for parking we have had transit vans and camper vans parked on the driveway numerous times with no problems at all? We also lived in the cottage for 2 years ourselves and had 2 cars parked outside on the road with no issues. Come to the countryside for a holiday and expect to see tractors driving on the lane. Regards John. Property Owner

"The cottage was perfect, great value for money."
Had everything we needed, was a lovely much needed holiday. Thank you
-
"Really enjoyed our stay."
Completely dog friendly and plenty to see and do. You definitely need a car as it’s Wales and things aren’t on the doorstep! That’s being said with a few minutes walk you have a local shop that sells everything you need and a really good pub. Cardigan was beautiful and really dog friendly. The cottage is really clean and has everything. It’s rustic as it’s a cottage but it’s really clean and super sweet. The bed was really comfortable. I have only 2 points to note, I found finding dog walks quite hard as I got a bit spun round and confused where I was allowed to walk. Be adventurous. I would have liked the grass cut really short in the garden as it was a bit difficult to pick up after the dog in long grass (dog owners will understand). This was more because I felt bad not getting it all up as the place was so nice. I would come again and I did get to meet the owners who were lovely. Really worth the trip

"Had a lovely week."
The cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The welcome hamper was wonderful and much appreciated. The garden was great and a sun trap to sit and relax in.The neighbours were really friendly and helpful. When i rang the owner re: key collection she was very friendly, chatty and helpful. Thankyou so much.
-
"Really lovely location which has a secure garden which is ideal for the dogs."
We got a proper workout walking the dogs around the local roads which are quite hilly. Only dampener for us was that we got bitten by midgies which left us itching throughout the stay. That’s not the fault of the property, just the time of year.
-
"Really enjoyed the cottage, great base for west Wales."
Very clean, good amount of space and great fully enclosed garden for any dogs. One negative was that the internet was not good enough to stream any Netflix etc although there's a smart TV. I know you are not there to watch much telly but after a full on day it would of been a nice option though.
-
"Wonderful hosts who were very welcoming and helpful, nothing was too much trouble."
Would highly recommend this gem of a cottage.
-
"Lovely cottage and so welcoming for our 4 legged friends!"
Welcome pack was much appreciated and a really nice touch. It made a very pleasant change to have a comfortable bed in a holiday cottage as well!

Always had good cottages when using Sykes,but this was one of the best and very considerate owners too,could not fault the cosy cwtch cottage ,really safe garden for the dog which was very important for us,will certainly revisit
-
"Great cottage, comfy and with everything we needed despite the covid restrictions, also a brilliant enclosed garden for the dogs!"
-
"The cottage was beautiful, very clean, very well equipped, we were able to make cookies and apple crumble."
The garden was brilliant for the dogs, enclosed and loads of space. The location was really good, the shop and pub was really close and the beaches etc weren’t too far away
-
"Cottage was amazing apart from one minor issue- reported to Sykes then heard nothing until the day we left!"
Cottage owner was mortified and said had we contacted her direct she would have rectified the issue while we were there- then sent photos of it having been rectified before next guests arrived. Cannot fault the owner of the cottage- wish I’d just contacted her instead of replying to the automated thing Sykes sent me- that was a waste of time!
-
"Fantastic facilities, everything we needed."
Comfortable beds and very soft towels. Enclosed dog safe garden with garden furniture. Would definitely recommend.
-
"Great location, with a local shop and pub/restaurant a short walk away."
The cottage is as described with everything you need including dishwasher and washing machine. We had our 4 dogs which really enjoyed the garden and there stay too. Will be back, excellent value and quality place to stay and visit the surrounding areas. Having Red Kites visit the garden was a bonus.
-
"This is a beautiful, cosy and comfortable cottage with plenty of space in the living room and a cute farmhouse kitchen."
My husband and I took my 90 year old mother in law and stayed for a week and had a relaxing and peaceful time. She is quite fit and could manage the stairs. Our two dogs loved the secure enclosed garden and we spent a few happy evenings sitting on the garden furniture relaxing with a drink. The owners, Sammy and John, left us a welcome basket with wine and other goodies which was very much appreciated. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds comfortable. Everything is clean, fresh and homely. Five minutes walk away is a stunning gastropub (The Daffodil) which is very dog friendly and and the amazing local shop just opposite sells everything you need. I can strongly recommend this lovely cottage without hesitation.

"We ,and the 3 dogs thoroughly enoyed the whole experience thank you so much colin c"

"So impressed by the cottage."
We have had the most amazing stay over Christmas . The cottage was perfectly situated for a family visit..the owners had thoughtfully placed tasteful decorations throughout and we had a first class welcome hamper on arrival and even left a foil turkey tray ( above expectations) which was ideal for our turkey dinner. . The cottage was warm and very comfortable and felt like home. Congratulations to the owners who, to me have thought of everything. We will be visiting the cottage in the near future.

"2 weeks fabulous holiday visiting the many beautiful beaches round Cardigan Bay."
We had a wonderful time with our 3 Border Collies. Cottage was perfect with enclosed garden. Weather was great , we can't wait to return.
-
"Cosy Cwtch cottage really does feel like a home from home."
The kitchen is a lovely, big size with plenty of room for feeding us and our dogs and no crowding. The lovely owners go out of their way to be available and helpful. The garden is securely fenced but accessible to wildlife and the local shop caters for all diets and tastes. Beautiful beaches and stunning riverside walks are close by. A hidden fish and chip gem is the Chipoteria in Hermon, SA33 6SR, and loved visiting the beautifully painted Holy Trinity Church at Pont-ar-Gothi where a friendly couple showed us around. This is open on Thursdays between 2 and 4 pm. Its a bit further to drive but LLansteffan Beach is great for dog walking in good weather. Second visit to this cottage and will most likely book again for third visit!

"Mrs Crocker July 2019 We have just had an amazing holiday in The old school house."
Spotless, beautifully furnished and wonderfully comfortable. The owners have thought of everything you could need for a perfect stay away from home.We used the pretty court yard garden for breakfast and early evening gin and tonics before eating in the two village pubs that made us very welcome.The food in both was excellent. The village was very pretty and lots to see and do in the area. We have booked many holiday homes over many years and this is definitely our favourite, can’t wait to return.
-
"Wonderful service."
Beautiful cottage, very well equipped and dog friendly. Owners were welcoming and helpful. We would definitely use Sykes again when booking a cottage.

"Fantastic cottage in a beautiful location!"
Very well equipped & spotlessly clean! We had a fantastic time with our dogs - they loved the fully enclosed garden! So did we as the weather was amazing!
-
"Great little cottage with good facilities and very dog friendly."
-
"I think that you need to update the photos you have of the property and also provide photos of the garden."
The location was ideal but our initial thoughts were that some of the rooms didn't look as advertised until we realised that furniture had been changed and added. The property was really cosy and catered for all our needs and the lovely welcome basket was very thoughtful.
-
"Owners where really helpful and the welcome pack was a real nice touch."
-
"A lovely cottage,owners very helpful very nice and well equipped, in an ideal quiet location yet close to West Wales coast with its lovely dog friendly beaches and nice villages."
-
"The cottage was beautiful and well equipped."
The garden is a generous size with lovely apple tree and plenty of lawn for dogs to play. Sammy and John were more than helpful and went out of their way to ensure we were happy and comfortable with the accommodation. The local pub is great and serves fantastic food and drink and is dog friendly. The local shop sells most things and are friendly. Poppit sands is about half hour drive and is stunning. We also enjoyed Penbryn beach. Nice coastal walk from the Ship Inn pub at Tresaith too. Good pub. Lots to do and hope to go back.

"Cottage was lovely and better than the pictures led you to believe."
Had a lovely time.

"The cottage was spacious yet comfortably cozy."
The large dog friendly garden was a huge bonus. Well situated to visit the Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire coasts.
-
"Fantastic cottage."
The exterior photo of the front of the property doesnt serve it justice as does the lack of photos of the lawned garden to the rear.
