  The owner Catherine was very welcoming and had time to chat to two ' old codgers ' .We would certainly recommend it to anyone who likes to be off the beaten track.

• "Beautiful barn conversion, on a lovely small farm, with every need anticipated."

  The access to the property was challenging on first arrival, but once we found our way via the various rugged tracks and lanes, it was fine. As previous visitors have commented, if you have a low chassis vehicle, leave it at home! The property is in a remote location surrounded by stunning scenery and provides a relaxing retreat, but still accessible to the amenities and attractions of the area. Catherine was a welcoming host and the hens, geese, and Tilly the dog were great neighbours.

• "We went away to have a peaceful and relaxing week, this is exactly what we got."

  The cottage has everything that you need and is very comfortable. The surroundings are very tranquil, there are a few animals running around chickens, geese, cats and a very lovely dog called Lily. it was a pleasure to see them every day.

• "A quaint cottage in rural Wales and we had a lovely time!"

  The cottage was very well equipped, making it easy to feel right at home. The comfy bed was a delight after a day of exploring, and we loved waking up to beautiful views of the countryside. It was a bonus to have a friendly dog and even some chickens wandering around, adding to the rustic charm. However, a couple of things to note: there were some ants in the room and shower, so a bit of extra care might be needed there (but I imagine this was a one off and was quickly seen to). Also, be aware that the location is quite remote — charmingly so! — but you might want to avoid taking an older car down the narrow lanes leading to the cottage and around the area in general. All in all, a great spot for a peaceful retreat if you’re prepared for a bit of adventure!

• "Myself and my partner had the most wonderful stay."

  Everything was perfect. Being in that location did us the world of good. We did some great walks also took the bikes out. The barn is beautiful and super comfy and had everything we needed. Catherine was a fantastic host and we loved being around the animals. We’re booking again for December! Thank you for having us!

• "We had a wonderful week stay, the cottage is beautiful and has everything you could need."

  Unfortunately we didn't have the weather to use the balcony much but the view was lovely. I personally loved having the animals near by. The welcome pack is very thoughtful (eggs were delicious) The only thing to note and this is not a negative is the road to the property is very narrow and rough so if you want to come in a fancy low sports car you will struggle. Overall we would definitely return.

• "What a wonderful place to stay."

  Such a friendly comfortable place that was so peaceful especially for nature lovers. It was great to meet all the pets from Lilly the dog, the cats, ducks, chickens, geese and Guinea fowl. Many thanks for the lovely fresh goose, duck and chicken eggs, butter and cider. We would highly recommend a stay here and we plan to come back. Also we recommend visits to The Big Pit, Botanic Gardens and Picton Castle and If you like walking, pop in to Abergorlech for a walk up and through the forest where there are three walks from easy to more challenging.

  The cottage is tastefully furnished and extremely well equipped. We received a wonderful welcome from the owner and her dog Lily, and the freshly laid eggs were delicious! The view from the decking at the rear of the property is stunning and also offers the opportunity to watch the red kites and the Redstart nesting next door. We absolutely loved it and we will definitely be going again.

  It was clean, smelt amazing, well equipped and comfortable. The decking would have been lovely if only the weather had been conducive to sitting out there. Lovely views and so peaceful.

• "While having enjoyed our stay at Golwg Las, there was one aspect of the property that I don't think Sykes pointed out adequately in their description - the more than a mile of unmade road leading to the property."

  As older guests, we found negotiating all the ruts and potholes very uncomfortable, and were even put off going out by the thought of it. I think it is only fair that an accurate description is put in the details.

• "Instructions on location were awful, used sat nav and google maps ,but the owner agreed when given copies of Sykes printout that it was bad."

  Apparently when my son found me I should have used Google Earth or the map cordinates which is more precise .But I was not told that. The reason I could not stay was no mobile phone reception. My son did a test and found strength was extremely low. Being old and alone I felt afraid to be in such a remote place with no contact. So I came home. Better directions and tell people no mobile phone reception !!

  The guest has raised the issue with us the day he arrived on Sunday 3rd October & I said I would be able to contact Dyfed Telecom the next day when their offices were open. However the guest decided to leave on 4th October & unfortunately only told us of his decision once he had left. We have spent in excess of £1000 installing a satellite internet/phone system in our cottages which we have recently acquired. The issue was with EE & the mast that they use which needed repairs and was out of our control. I did contact the guest & ask him if his son could forward me the details of the test to pass on but I received no reply. The fault has been reported & can be rectified. I would like to point out that under normal circumstances both phone & internet coverage is good. We feel saddened that the guest could not remain longer & enjoy Golwg Las. Directions to the property now include What3words "nightfall.eating.wicket", Google Maps & written instructions to assist in finding our secluded spot Property Owner
