    Everything you need for an amazing stay. Just a couple of comments, sharp knives in stand not sharp, not a big issue but may not have been aware. And a set of extra towels for hot tub would be nice. But that's all. Will ne back Thank you

    We were made to feel ‘at home’ which added to our happy and relaxed holiday at The Farmhouse. The property was roomy, immaculate and the equipment provided left nothing wanting. The Farmhouse sits in a beautiful area and there is no shortage of places to visit and things to do to keep visitors busy for a fortnight or longer.

    The location is easy to get to and beautiful. The owners of the property as lovely and very helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wished we had booked for a longer period. We will definitely be back for sure! The only small feedback we would give was we were surprised the remaining 2 rooms both had 2 single beds. Which was absolutely fine for it being just the 2 of us, but if we were to bring other family members, one of the other rooms having a double bed would have been much more appealing.

  • "What a fantastic place to switch off and unwind!"

    Inside, the house is modern, clean and comfortable. Outside is beautiful, green and peaceful. The hot tub was great after long walks, of which there are plenty nearby. The beds are incredibly comfortable, it felt like sleeping on a cloud. The showers are nice and powerful. The kitchen was very well equipped. Our son loved the river which is accessible via some steps a short stroll from the house. He spent hours paddling, skimming stones and searching for insects. The owners were friendly and helpful and not at all intrusive. The place feels so rural and yet you are only a very short drive away from Aberystwyth where there are some good restaurants, supermarket etc. This was undoubtedly one of the best properties we have stayed at and we certainly hope to be back!

  • "The property was nice and clean, several things had been removed inline with Covid guidelines including the loose sofa cushions which made it quite uncomfortable."

    Also no hair dryer. We were a little disappointed at how difficult it was to access the beautiful river in front of the property. I was also a little surprised that the neighboring property was occupied by the owner with noisy dogs and and early morning noisy activity and not the additional holiday let as we had understood. We had to delay the start of our holiday due to track and trace and were advised by Sykes that we would receive a partial refunded or full if we chose to cancel. Very disappointed that neither the property owner, Sykes or Sykes holiday insurance were able to sort this even after their advice to the contrary.

Devils bridge if you can manage the 675 steps. The coast road down to Cardigan is a must too stopping off at all the stunning seaside towns new quay and arbeararon was our favourites, but try them all don’t miss Mwnt beach.
