"This was a fantastic location with great facilities."
We loved our stay, which was so comfortable and felt so relaxed whilst staying. This was a perfect getaway location, so close to the beach and only a 20 minute drive from Aberystwyth, and was a fantastic choice for a holiday location.
-
"Beautiful property, clean, well maintained, well layed out, bright and airy."
Very private and quite. There was no noice transfer between the 2 holiday lets. Everything you needed was there and the hot tub was lovely in the evenings. Each property was separately enclosed area so the dog couldn't wander off. Lots of quality local pubs for lunch and dinner available close by, I highly recomend The Black Lion in Derwenlas Machynlleth, fab food and service. The local dog friendly beach at Ynyslas was amazing, spent hours down there with the dog chasing his ball. We had lovely walks by the river into Borth for afternoon coffee. Overall we had a fantastic week at the property, very relaxing. We will definitely be back again. The welcome gift was very appreciated as were the free range eggs available for sale.

"Lovely place to stay."
-
"Perfect accommodation, exactly as described."
We were 2 adults, teenager and dogs. Plenty of dishes and utensils, beds were really comfy. Towels were provided which was fantastic. Take beach towels if you’re thinking of a dip in the clear Borth sea. Amazing beach and dogs allowed all year down the Ynyslas end. Great location, take the walk along the river into Borth, it’s beautiful and takes about 20 mins. The road walk is quicker but hairy at times. If you’re looking to explore north Ceredigion, south Gwynedd, Cambrian mountains it’s a good base. Owner was lovely, Diolch!

"The lodge was beautiful and very clean :) Had all the facilities you need and I loved the hot tub!"
! My father had a relaxing time which he needed due to ill health and so the tranquil surroundings and lovely open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area helped him chill out whilst I cooked his fav food in a well equipped kitchen. The open plan area meant I was able to still chat to him so definitely was the prefect place for us. The hostess was so friendly but NOT in your face! they leave you alone unless you ask for something. The fresh eggs they sell are yummmmmy! 100% would go again. Fabulous! thanks again for everything! you have a beautiful place xxx

"Moana was a perfect retreat and allowed for total relaxation to get away from it all."
The property is very nicely decorated, comfortable and well maintained. The location is discreet and private and offers a lovely leisurely walk along a riverside into the town of Borth. Many attractions and activities within easy reach, makes this a perfect location a wonderful destination for couples and families, including our furry friend.
-
"Lovely property with good quality interior and great hot tub."
All the kitchen stuff that you need to cook for family/friends was available and I felt confident that if we needed anything else, they would have been happy to help.
-
"A lovely property to unwind in and to explore from."
Would definitely go back.
-
"Nice touch of welcoming basket."
Curtain rail too big for curtain holes hence v difficult to draw them shut. Toilet door creaks when closing annoying at night. Needs oiling. Towels rough. Had to return home early due to illness. Nice lady. Quality furnishings.
-
"We spent Christmas at Moana & it was like home from home."
It’s very spacious but warm & cosy too, perfectly laid out, I’m sure I could live there. The log burner was great for cosy nights in watching Christmas films after a relaxing soak in the hot tub. Borth beach is only up the road and the locals were very welcoming, there are many pubs dotted around the area. Aberystwyth is only a short drive & has all the shops you may need. The welcome pack from the owners was very much appreciated, the bacon was delicious & the Prosecco too. The lodge had everything we needed to cook that special Christmas roast. Even the heavy rain at times couldn’t dampen our spirits as the hot tub is covered from above, but open enough to see the sky, we watched the most amazing moon rise on our last evening. I would definitely recommend either of the two lodges and am hoping to visit again in the summer.

"Thank you for a lovely stay."
Beautiful area with lots of walks.
-
"Home from home ."
For our weeks stay it had everything we needed, even fresh eggs on site . The welcome pack with local bacon , milk and soo much more was amazing. The hot tub was enjoyed by all even our 1 1/2 yr old grandson , who loved to run on the veranda every morning
-
"Location is amazing, just a short walk to Borth."
The property is nice and peaceful and we came home feeling very relaxed. The hot tub was great and beds were very comfy. I would definitely recommend the property and borth for a visit to people. Although the owners live on the property they left you too it but were there if needed which made it feel very private. My negative about it all is the cleanliness. I would say it’s surface clean however under the sink in the bathroom left over toothpaste gunk from previous stays and around the toilet basin were hair and dust. Walls were dusty and cobwebs about and dead fly’s in skirting board. I didn’t complain as I was happy to clean myself as I am a bit obsessive with cleaning however it’s the attention to detail and personally I expect this to be basic in my eyes but also can see others may not mind.
-
"Nice cottage surrounded by nice scenenery."
Hot tub was fab, facilities were good. Shame Borth is not dog friendly, but Aberystwth not far and that is lovely.
-
"Lovely cabin with great access to walks for the dog."
Ideally placed for the beach and mountains. Just a few observations. There could be more cooking items ie measuring bowls, smaller baking dishes and more than 1 teaspoon.
-
"Great location."
Lovely place for a week away.
-
"Lovely house really comfortable."
Lovely friendly owner. Will definitely return
-
"Great location to venture out from."
Lovely accommodation. On quite a busy road with no footpaths so a bit difficult to take the dog for night time/before bed quick walk. Getting into Borth on foot is on that road or through the caravan site next door to an off road route - torch essential and provided - both routes take about 20 minutes. Property owner really friendly and helpful.
-
"Well equipped cottage would recommend it to friends and family."
-
"We had a lovely week here in early January."
Comfortable and well laid out I have only marked it down a little as there were a couple of maintenance issues which could do with addressing.
-
"We loved staying at Moana."
Couldn’t fault anything.
-
"Beautiful holiday let, perfect location for everything."
And the owner was very welcoming.
-
"Everything you need and more to have an enjoyable stay on the Cambrian coast ."
Thank you Heath and Rhian

"What I am going to say is already known by the owner because they LIVE there."
I was upset to realise that the entrance to the property is a steep short descent and a quick left turn descending further to the flat parking area.The reverse to leave the property is a very difficult assent of the second slope to the main road where you have to push yourself out to see the traffic. I was too nervous to do it and my husband drove every day which isn't our normal pattern. "Fore warned is fore armed". From the picture you have on your website, there is nothing that indicates the approach! Your lack of info re the approach was not right. The second problem was that the lock on the door of the property didn't work. My husband is a practical man and usually nothing phases him --however most days we tried to secure the property and our belongings, it took him upwards of 12 to 20 times to lock up. On the Saturday night the lady renting the other property said she would keep an eye out for us and that she had problems as well.. I got to the point of carrying my jewellery roll with me whenever we went out. The owner knew the doors were tricky to lock and we left a note to the owner when we left of a national company who would /could fix the problem. Finally I don't usually complete these feedback forms of yours because there is NEVER any response from you and I'm seriously thinking which company we use for our future holidays..

"Lovely home from home, very comfortable, private and peaceful."
Would definitely recommend.
-
"The property was lovely, nice and spacious and well equipped."
Cleanliness was 100% and the hosts were very very helpful. The hot tub was amazing! also the local cats were very friendly. It's ideally situated just outside Borth, so close to amenities and local shops etc. We have already recommended this property to family members, so hopefully they will be staying there too.
-
"A great place with comfort a priority."
Friendly people, friendly cats and a short trip to the beach in Borth. Ideally located in our view, many places to visit and all amenities close by, including superstore in Aber just 10 minutes away. Decent smart TV so you can watch your amazon/netflix content and a great hot tub to wind down in after long walks in the hillls. Comfy sofas and comfy beds. Ticks pretty much all boxes. Just 2 recommendations for improvement: Warn guests that when arriving fully laded, keep to the left of the slope when turning in and down to the cottage. Also curtains in the bedrooms. Just need something else like in the lounge to compliment the blinds. We like our rooms dark.
-
"Lovely property."

-

"Lovely accommodation in a beautiful area of Wales."
Only criticism is that internet was poor.
-
"We had a lovely break at this place but PERSONALLY we like to be able to control the temperature of the tap water ,shower and the heated towel rail more."
The towels were never completely dry even after 24hrs .
-
"Overall a good stay."
Hot tub was great. Information folder was very spartan & could do with some expansion regarding appliances, recycling, etc.
-
"Brilliant cottages well equipped and comfortable, fantastic area"
-
"Had a lovely stay."
Very clean and comfortable property - home from home. The hot tub is a real bonus. Borth is a lovely seaside village you can walk from the property in 20 mins or drive in 2 mins. Parking is free by the beach and we never had problems parking.
-
"Fabulous accommodation in a great spot."
Well equipped and very comfortable.
-
"Hot tub was amazing!"
Very clean accommodation, beds extremely comfortable and kitchen well equipped. However, we failed to get any Wifi. The pub was further than we thought and getting to it wasn't that easy! Never did find the shop that was supposedly only 0.6 miles away.
-
"Lovely accommodation, really enjoyed our stay."
Had everything we needed and the hot tub was a nice bonus
-
"Fantastic property, everything available so all you have to think about is where you want to go and what you want to do for the day."
Relaxing in the spacious hot tub was the best. Lovely hosts, not intrusive but there if you need them. Would be more than happy to return in the future
-
"Great cottage will book this place again."

-
"The location of the property was very good."
Just what we needed
-
"Great place to stay, like a home from home."
Really clean and comfy. The only negative is that the WiFi was really poor, bothe speed and connection to the router.
-
"Fantastic hosts."
Very attentive and generous. Gift upon arrival was very appreciated. Centre point of interesting places to visit ie: Devils Bridge, Snowdonia National Park with an awesome nature trail and Barmouth a short drive away.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at this property, it's in a quiet location near one of our favourite places - Borth."
We liked that you can easily walk into Borth to visit the beach, Zoo, pubs and shops. The property was warm and welcoming, and the Christmas tree was the perfect addition. The shower was very nice, everything was clean and we had everything we could need in the kitchen. The wood burner was lovely and made it very cosy. The owners seemed very helpful and we appreciated the welcome pack of tea, cereal, bacon and sausages - a thoughtful touch. For us, there were two downsides. On arrival we discovered the hot tub was not working. To the owners credit, they tried very hard to get the problem resolved and this was fixed on the second day of our stay, but meant that it was not available until the third day. Not the end of the world, but as this was our Christmas get away that we had saved up for and looked forward to for most of the year it was quite disappointing. It would have been nice to have been forewarned about this problem before we arrived. The only other negative was that the pump fitted in the hot tub was quite noisy, and coupled with uncomfortable beds we didn't sleep well. Overall it's a great property and it was just unfortunate that a few small issues led to a less relaxing stay than we had expected and hoped for.

This gem of of property is far more spacious than it looks on the photos, the cleaning and comfort was on point, peaceful quiet countryside but everything you need and only 15 minutes to the nearest big town :)

"Booking with Sykes was easy and you felt that you were in the know with the emails building up to your stay keeping you informed of the stay and area."
The lodge was situated in a beautiful spot out of the hustle and bustle and easy to find. It was a perfect space with combined living and dining areas which gave the presence of space. It was nicely decorated and finished to a high standard and was easy to keep clean and tidy. There was a welcome pack on the table which was a nice touch by the owners and we unpacked to settle in very quickly. The bedrooms were lovely and the beds were very comfortable. The hot tub underneath the patio area covered was fantastic. No matter a bit of rain you were under the shelter of the cover. There are probably a lot of other finer details to highlight as good and I have probably not done the lodge justice enough.
-
"The cottage was lovely!"
It can sleep 4 but we found it perfect size for 2. The local shop and pubs are well stocked and food was lovely also. The owners Heath and Rihanan left a nice care package in arrival and instructions for the key were simple and easy. Location is good for nearby Aberystwyth, Aberdovey (amazing beaches) and Twywyn market towns. A lot of things to do and great walks/exploring for this inclined. Finishing each day off with the hot tub was an added bonus!
-
"The holiday cottage was fantastic."
-
"Lovely property in nice surroundings."

-
"The cottage was so comfortable and in fact I would rate it as a 5 star accommodation."
We loved the hot tub,so relaxing after a day's touring the beautiful mountain scenwry and our hosts could not do enough to make our stay enjoyable.. It was without doubt one of the best holidays in Wales we have ever had
-
"Lovely cottage, very well furnished and very clean."
Great base to get out and explore the surrounding areas then go back and soak in the hot tub with a glass of wine. Perfect weekend away.
-

-
"Y Felin Moana was exactly as published."
Was so comfortable. We enjoyed the hot tub and the cosiness of the place. A great get away for the family and it met all our needs. The beds were very comfortable and the hosts always on hand to help with any requests. The underfloor heating is the best have seen anywhere....really excellent. Will definitely be back.
-

The cabin was extremely comfortable and was really topped off by the undercover hot tub! Thank you
-

The owners and their children were very welcoming. There was few extras on the arrival. The place was very clean and cosy. I would definitely recommend this place. Thank you for a very pleasant time.
-
"It is the best accommodation we have ever had through Sykes."
Beautifully converted, spotlessly clean. Nice touch of a welcome basket full of goodies. Very convenient location for getting out and about. Best of all, the hot tub. Used every evening, absolute bliss.

Lovely quiet spot within 10 minutes easy walking of Borth beach Extremely well appointed accommodation with nice homely touches, very pleasant owners live adjacent to the property and are helpful if required but not at all intrusive

"Had a amazing relaxing holiday for our 31st wedding anniversary the weather was lovely all week so spent a lot of time down the beach and in the hot tub."
The red kites center was a good place to visit we went around 230pm and they were feeding around 3pm .also the devils bridge is definitely worth a visit. The hosts were friendly and left a lovely welcome basket the cabin was well equipped
-
"Stunning property in ideal location to explore beautiful Cardigan Bay."
Y Felin-Moana is equipped to a high standard, with comfortable furniture & beds. The hot tub is lovely - & covered, which is very thoughtful in light of the Welsh rain! The outside veranda is a relaxing place to sit & catch the last of the sun while sipping a glass of wine. Truly a little Welsh gem!
-
"The photos on the website really do not do this amazing creation justice."
It exceeded our expectations and has been furnished to such a high standard. We have stayed in “cabins” before (on different websites) that have looked great and once there, were run down and past it. The Y Felin has tons of character for such a modern accommodation, to every last detail it was a luxurious stay. It remains private despite the proximity of the owners home and they were easy to contact if we needed anything. An absolute gem.
-
"We had such an amazing time!"
Could not fault it! Thank you!
-
"Just back from a lovely rexlaxing break at this beautiful property."
The owner was helpful and informative. Everything we needed was provided lovely quality fixtures and fittings. The hot tub was superb and the setting private. We would definitely visit this property again and would not hesitate in recommending to family and friends.
-
"Beautiful converted wool shed done to a very high standard."
Truly relaxing break Log burner and hot tub gave it an extra relaxing special feel. All facilities available you could think of The property was lovely and clean The sand dunes at far end of Borth beach are a beautiful place for a nice walk
-
"What a fantastic place this is."
We went for 5 days as a family of four. Our hosts were so helpful we arrived too a beautiful basket of goodies even chocolate for the boys. The accommodation is outstanding and it has beautiful beds and bedding it is so comfortable. We have stayed in a lot of 5 star accommodation over the years and this one is up there with the best . This will definitely be one we will return to.
