  • "Wow! stunning cottage in an idyllic setting was the perfect base with doggies Tilly and Ronnie."

    Our excellent and attentive hosts have created something really special here with an ultra modern accommodation still true to its setting and history. We enjoyed days out at the coast or in the country, rounded off perfectly by returning to this haven, recharging our batteries for our return to the real world !

  • "The cottage is beautiful, having recently been renovated with great care."

    The location is wonderful - peaceful countryside views from the back/garden (made the most of by the glass-walled eating area), and in close proximity to beautiful beaches, coastline and towns. There is so much to do nearby. It's perfectly set up for canine visitors too!

  • "A wonderful property within easy driving of plenty of stunning beaches and town."

    Immaculately clean with everything you need as a home away from home. The owners messaged when we got there to check everything was ok and left a lovely welcome pack. Beds were super comfy and the shower was fantastic. Lovely views and it was great to see the cows in the adjacent fields and kites flying overhead. We would definitely like to return.

  • "What a beautiful cottage!"

    Lovingly restored, in a peaceful setting with every facility we needed. Didn’t miss the dishwasher as we had the cows to watch from the next field whilst in the kitchen. Eating in the bright kitchen/diner was a pleasure. Watching kites soar above and enjoying the patio & firepit on warm evenings. It was very clean and comfortable and well located for exploring beaches and walks. The owners were welcoming and there is a very helpful visitor pack with useful information. Would highly recommend and definitely stay again if we are visiting the area.

  • "We stayed at Pensarngerrig with our two children during the first week of the summer holiday."

    We throughly enjoyed our stay. It is more than your average luxury holiday cottage. The owners have lovingly restored the it while maintaining its historical character. It is beautifully decorated throughout with a mixture of modern and Welsh traditional style. The modern kitchen is well equipped with everything you need and more! The generous basket full of Welsh goodies and the milk and butter in the fridge was very much appreciated and enjoyed! Thank you very much! The information pack produced by the owners was very useful and provided us with lots of inspiration on what to do within the area. I have recommended this cottage to my friends and family as we loved it so much!

    It was clean, a very nice and light open kitchen/diningroom, with a very complete kitchen fittings. There is a cosey sitting room with a tv, games and a nice jigsaw puzzle. Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms with very comfortable beds. Our two teenage sons were happy with the good wifi and they liked the fire pit outside very much. Our dog was very happy in the garden, she liked te welcome attention specially for her. We liked our welcome groceries and we enjoyed the luxurious bathroom. There is a very complete welcome book with tips for trips. There was a little problem with the electricity wich was very fast fixed. We had a very nice holiday.

  • "Owner has a lovely property unfortunately it was not ready for our stay it hadn't been cleaned for some time it was one of the dirtiest places we have stayed at I provided owner with photographic evidence to which she did say sorry that it hadn't been cleaned properly I tried to forgive the cleanliness issues as much as I could but just kept finding more and more We had booked Friday - Friday as a family we decided to come home on the Tuesday We made Sykes aware and owner aware."

    We are private people and once were on holiday we didn't want anybody coming in to clean as it should have been cleaned ready for our stay so the family that stayed after us got to have a very clean house as the cleaner would have gone in and given it a much needed thorough clean. Owner wanted the issue to be resolved and offered us £168 for the days that we didn't stay and Sykes said sorry after they saw the photographic evidence and offered £50. I didn't accept either of their offers as our holiday was ruined as we stayed in a dirty house with a broken metal fence which when booked was told it was secure for dogs I am also assuming this was fixed after our stay it should have been fixed before we stayed. I believe that we should have been given a full refund and sorry doesn't cut it. We wasted our fuel there and back and its an outrage that the basics weren't done its pretty much unforgiveable and I'm sure the owner wouldn't want it to happen to them if they booked somewhere so reading families feedback after our stay saying how clean it was is actually down to us raising the cleanliness issues and sending over all the photos of how dirty the house was such a shame they just couldn't get the basics right and have a clean house ready for our stay so just because the feedback may now say the property is clean we made that mistake and trusted the owner and Sykes this property was not fit to be rented out to us for our stay shame on you for ruining a family's holiday

    Thank you for your feedback. We regret that you felt the property was not up to standard. However, it's important to note that you only raised concerns on the fourth day of your stay. Our cleaners were immediately dispatched to rectify any issues, but entry was denied. We strive to provide a wonderful experience for all our guests, as shown by reviews both before and after your stay. Property Owner

  • "Pensarngerrig is a really lovely place to stay."

    It has been refurbished to an extremely high standard and is very well maintained and spotlessly clean. There is a very nice welcome pack on arrival as well. The outside space is very pleasant too. The owner made contact on arrival to welcome us and make sure all was well and to offer help if needed. It really is a very comfortable place to stay and I would certainly book this property again and recommend to others. We had a wonderful week. Thank you.

  • "We has a lovely stay, the cottage is beautifully finished to a high standard."

    The location is really good being between Aberystwyth and Cardigan. We managed several circular walks incorporating the coastal path and inland through some particularly muddy fields!! All the local people were very friendly and helpful. Because we visited out of season we were able to park free of charge in a lot of places. The only thing that would stop us booking Pensarngerrig again is the lack of a washing machine. A couple of other bits of feedback. It would be nice to have a couple more tea towels and maybe a good idea to have some dog bowls in case people forget theirs, I did remember but we have seen this in other holiday lets. Maybe a bin in the bedroom too. These are minor things and certainly didn’t affect our holiday.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience at Pensarngerrig, Sandra. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found our cottage beautifully finished to a high standard. We're also delighted that you appreciated the convenient location and your long walks along the coastline. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we'll certainly take your suggestions into consideration for further improvements. Our dog bowls can be found in the dog themed basket in the cupboard but we’ll make sure to highlight this information in our welcome book. We truly hope to welcome you back to Pensarngerrig in the future. Property Owner

Additionally, nearby Aberaeron, known for its colourful Georgian architecture, offers delightful strolls along the harbour and an array of dining experiences at its renowned seafood restaurants.
