"What a beautiful place!"
It was so lovely watching the red kites and rabbits. It was a lovely to see the chickens, ducks and geese as we went it. A big thank you to Tom who gave us lovely fresh eggs and made us feel welcome. The property was clean, tidy and very comfortable. Would highly recommended!
-
"Great location with wonderful views."
Thank you, Tom, for the welcome and all the fresh eggs. The cottage was great, and well equipped. The Internet connection was more than sufficient to allow me to connect for work and the location was convenient for the Strata Florida Archaeology Field School.

"A great property to stay in."
Owned buy a real gentleman. Totally rural. Fantastic views and perfect for dogs and children, which can wonder in safety around the fully enclosed yard. Nicely furnished and fully equipped with all you need. Plenty to do within an hour or so. Thank you Tom. We really enjoyed our stay
-

-
"Tom The Owner is a Gent and kind."
The cottage is lovely.Perfect peace and quiet location.Superb wildlife.We would have liked a parasol umbrella as advertised in Sykes pictures because the weather was very hot and it prevented us from using the outdoor benches,there was not a parasol.However the decking area was superb with a nice shaded area.The only other point was there were no opening windows on the main living room viewing window area,this created a build up of continuous flies with the sun and heat and we had to shut the curtains for long periods of time.which was a nightmare so we did not use the dining table under the window which also made it a little awkward when eating but i am sure Tom will do something about this as he is a nice guy.In all a fantastic holiday & property was great.Thank you.

"This is the best holiday cottage we have stayed in, great week a true gem."
-
"We have had a wonderful week in the cottage with our friends from Glasgow."
Such wonderful views from every window and so peaceful. Managed to go out and about every day in the car for some good walks and onto a beach too. We did have a couple of lovely visits from our host and his dogs and were able to thank him in person for the goodies that were left. The cottage is very spacious and comfortable.
-
"Great stay."
Mr Jones very accommodating and left a nice welcome cake and eggs later in the week. Would definitely recommend to others as a great location with beautiful views. Would return if we wanted to visit this area again. Very good for those with accessibility needs too.
-
"Tom, the owner, looked after us very well; checking that we were happy and bringing along fresh eggs too!"
Quiet comfortable and roomy cottage with beautiful views. I would book here again when visiting this lovely region
-
"Great cottage, very well maintained in a beautiful location."
Tom, the owner is very helpful, nice eggs and cake as a welcoming gift. The location is not easy to find from the post code, if a visitor is using a Satnav then the Lat / Long gives a much better location (N52.282986, W3.952225).
-
"A wonderful stay with a warm welcome from an owner who was on hand for any issues that we may have had."
He needn't have worried, from the welcome party of ducks, chickens & geese to the ewes & lambs out in the driveway fields we had a great week in rural mid Wales. Well appointed bungalow with comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen & the dogs loved the outside area too. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, stressless holiday in the beautiful area :)
-
"Amazing! I cannot thank Tom enough for being such a great host."
Nothing was too much trouble. When we arrived we had a bottle of Prosecco and Welsh cakes waiting for us! Also some milk in the fridge. It was kitted out with all the silver wear you would need for a short stay. The beds were comfy and it’s a lot bigger than it looks on the photos. The floor plan of the main living area is more open plan also you can see your family members in the kitchen from the lounge so it’s not separate. It worked perfectly for us! The views from all around were stunning. The fire was delightful, we would definitely return here. 10/10. Thankyou!!!
-
"We had a lovely stay, beautiful surroundings, fantastically well equipped and spacious property."
The cottage was obviously well looked after and you could tell that customer satisfaction was important. The owner was very kind and friendly. We even had some fresh eggs from the ducks and hens presented to us.
-
"Wonderful! Everything we hoped for and more."
Mr Jones left us cake and milk on our arrival and left us fresh eggs as well. Seeing red kites in their natural habitat was an experience, and just the sound of sheep and birds in the morning was really relaxing. First time in Wales, will definitely be back.
-
"An excellent property, everything that could be expected was supplied."
The welcome "Pack" of milk, eggs, bara brith and welsh cakes were appreciated. Not being familiar with an electric oven with internal grill some instructions would have been helpful. We would be happy to return.
-
"What a beautiful place!"
The pictures don’t do it justice, an Absolutely stunning location with easy access to the surrounding towns for exploring Devil’s Bridge,Aberystwyth, Aberaeron, and New Quay. Tom is a great host and extremely thoughtful - we loved the touch of the eggs, milk and cake. The cottage is very clean and warm and has everything you would need all on the 1 floor which was useful for us with an elderly aunt. Would highly recommend and would definitely go back.
-
"Wonderful week in a beautiful area."
The cottage had everything you could wish for. Very comfortable and clean. Tom, the owner, was a lovely gentleman and host. Thank you for the little touch of cakes, eggs and milk when we arrived. We'll definitely be returning.
-
"We just returned from a week’s holiday in this idyllic location."
The cottage was perfect in every aspect. The facilities were great, the beds very comfy and the fact that it is all on one floor made it perfect for our young family. The cottage is located in the middle of a working farm, surrounded by Welsh countryside with nothing else in sight. There are sheep, chickens and ducks , our kids loved it. You can open the door and walk out straight on to the fields and walk in any direction. The owner ‘Farmer Tom’ was very attentive but never too much. We received fresh eggs from the farm’s hens, super tasty! We will definitely be back!
-
"A wonderful weeks holiday in beautiful setting, so peaceful."
Opening the living room curtains in the morning you are greeted with a fantastic view across the valley, lots of sheep and lambs in the fields, rabbits sitting outside the property. The property is well equipped and the beds are very comfortable, and Tom the owner couldn't be more friendly and helpful, very attentive, and the eggs from his chickens are unbelievably good. Highly recommended for a peaceful break.
-
"Great cottage it was really cosy with the under floor heating."
Very peaceful location with friendly owner who checked to make sure everything was OK and left some eggs from his chickens . The road to the farm was great for last walk before bedtime with the dogs (take a torch) . Great sunsets across the valley and good star gazing
-
"Beautiful setting and cottage."
The photos don't do it justice of how large it actually is. It's set on a working sheep farm with the owner living behind the cottage. This doesn't take from the quiet solitude of the place. It was lovely to see the sheep and other animals that Mr Jones has. We did have a few issues with heating this was sorted out for us, as soon as able too. These things can happen. Also the zip link single beds not made up into large double on our arrival; this was Sykes who made the mistake, in not letting Mr Jones know. I had specifically asked them twice. Therefore we had to wait two nights before this was rectified by Mr Jones' cleaner, resulting in 2 uncomfortable nights for my brother, who isn't used to sleeping in a single bed. We chose this cottage specifically for 3 double beds. One bedroom right at the end with ensuite does have a hard mattress, it may suit some people, as we all have different preferences. Unfortunately, it made for a restless, sleepless time for one of my party. I can't complain as I had the memory foam bed and slept great. All in all though, I thoroughly enjoyed staying in this beautiful cottage and the scenic setting. It is a distance out from most places, but if you want tranquility and a beautiful outlook then it's well worth it. Great to stare out at the stars at night too, and hear the owls hooting. Mr Jones is a lovely man, who really tries to help with any issues. We did have milk, barabrith and Welsh cakes awaiting us; just make sure you bring along tea, coffee and sugar; as we then had to nip out to Tregaron to the local store to get some, after an exhausting 6 hour journey. We are used to places that give you some to start off with. This could be the new rules at the moment, with what's taking place, and Welsh laws may be different, (as we've been holidaying in England, since this pandemic) We've not come across this in our other stays. Just to mention - Don't listen to Google maps as it'll take you to the wrong place, it's the next one along or before it, depending on which way you're coming in. I'd happily recommend staying here. Thank you Mr Jones, for all your help, and allowing my pets to holiday with me too; I hope to come back one day.

"We had a wonderful stay at Y Bwthyn."
We arrived in the dark and seeing the beautiful views in the morning was like Christmas again. The cottage is warm, comfortable and has everything you need. We will definitely come back again.

"We had a lovely week at Y Bwthyn."
Tom was a lovely host and it was so thoughtful to find cake and milk on our arrival. We also enjoyed the eggs from the hens. The location is stunning with beautiful views. A good centre for exploring this part of Wales. The cottage itself was spotless and very comfortable and well equipped. We hope to return..
-
"This lovely cottage was spotless and well equipped."
It is set in a stunning part of the countryside, with long distance views across rolling farmland toward the mountains. We enjoyed watching the red kites flying overhead, and counted 10 on one occasion. We also saw dolphins from the quay side in both New Quay and Aberystwyth. We had a very relaxing break, thank you Tom!
-
"This is just a brilliant place to stay,so good to cycle from the house, with views over cors caron."
Walks on the coastal path aren't too far away. Although the farmhouse is close by, it is really nice and quiet, with wildlife in abundance. The farmer Tom Jones, is very helpful, if needs be, and may give you some of his fresh eggs. Fantastic place, we'll definitely be back. Steve and Julia.
-
"Another amazing stay at Y Bwthyn and wont be our last."
This is the second time we have stayed here. The cottage is well equipped with everything for you to enjoy your stay. It is very spacious lovely and clean and you can really make yourself at home. One of the reasons I love this property so much is that my kids love it and they are safe. They can go out on their bikes and scooters without me having to watch their every move and they love the animals and seeing Farmer Tom, the owner. Tom is extremely welcoming and on hand if you need him and pops you some fresh eggs in from the hens. I cannot fault this property we all absolutely love it and will continue to come bere

"A beautiful but modern cottage in an isolated location on a farm, close to the midcambrian mountains."
Farm animals close by including goats, ducks, chickens and geese. Farmer Tom was very helpful and friendly. Not too close to the coast and most beaches in the vicinity are pebbly. Good facilities in Tregaron (7 miles) including two takeaways, a restaurant and a Spa supermarket. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and intend to return. Difficult to find and the instructions are not accurate.
-
"We had a fantastic time at Y Bwthyn."
There is plenty of space for 6 people and the children in our group enjoyed having space to play and ride their bikes outside. They also enjoyed feeding the goats and checking on the geese! Farmer Tom was incredibly welcoming and we enjoyed the fresh eggs. The kitchen was really well equipped and had everything we needed. Finally, the views are amazing. We're already looking at dates to return!
-
"Our holiday here was as fantastic as ever - our 5th visit!"
Tom is the most amazing host, so kind and thoughtful. The facilities in the cottage are excellent and he has thought of everything you could need for a relaxing holiday. The views and tranquility of the cottage setting are second to none. The welcome pack on arrival is always very well received, such a kind gesture. Tom really is outstanding and we’re already looking forward to our next visit!
-
"This cottage was so much better that I had expected."
The photos do show it accurately, but somehow it was so much nicer when we arrived and could see it in the flesh. I didn't want to go home! Tom was an added bonus. Such a kind man. He gave us fresh eggs from the farm and was lovely to chat with. The goats were hilarious and the Guard Geese were characters. There were even baby ducklings to greet us. My boys are 6 and 9 and they had a ball. You can walk from the cottage and the countryside is stunning. Even on a wet day I loved being there, watching the landscape change. Rolling hills and sheep as far as your eye can see. The cottage was clean, a high standard of fixtures and fittings, a great kitchen and lots of space. It was perfect for us. I miss it x

"All around amazingness!"
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
-
"Large bungalow with amazing views and great internet for how rural the place is."
Issues I had was. ... The owners house is literally next to the bungalow and all images shown are positioned so that you can not see how close it is, which seemed deceiving and felt watched during our stay. ... There was no instructions on how to use the appliances. ... Limited basic necessities, 1 roll of toilet paper per toilet and 1 bin bag per bin so during our short 3 night stay we had to buy these things for our stay, which seemed a bit much considering it cost 300 for the weekend out of season in november. Other then these things the place was spotless and the area is beautiful so if you can handle these flaws then you will adore this stay

"We had very wonderful time, the owner mr tom was very welcoming and very helpful ..."

"A fabulous break with our family in a fabulous property."
So well equipted which made everything so easy. Farmer Tom was great,so helpful, & so kind, he even showed the children the lambs around the farm. We will stay again that's for sure. Thank you Farmer Tom you are a great host.
-
"Really lovely cottage."
Very spacious,really comfortable and spotless. Lovely views and loved the sheep and geese. The owner Tom is a lovely man, very friendly. Ideal stay if have children as they would enjoy it. Would love to return one day. The travel directions given from Sykes were incorrect eg left turns when it should have been right turns so it took us a while to find the cottage.
-
"This cottage belongs to the nicest owner you could ever wish to meet!"
A fabulous, kind lovely man Mr Jones who went out of his way to make everything completely perfect for us including a fully decorated Christmas tree, mince pies and mulled wine. He deserves to be fully booked for the whole year!
-
"The cottage was perfect for our stay - it was well equipped with everything that was needed."
Our host Tom was very kind and we enjoyed chatting about the farm and the animals. If you want peace and quiet this is the place to stay.
-
"Cottage was lovely and owner really great."
Fresh eggs and interesting animals. Great views. Would go back again. However we both feel let down by Sykes. We found out that weeks before and after we booked(which was last November) had recently changed and were a lot cheaper. We queried the price before we booked as family member has seen cottage at a different price on Sykes website.When I “ chatted “to one your colleagues , I was told it was because of events in the area. When questioned of events, the events in question were many miles away from cottage , so feel this was just an excuse. Have used Sykes many times before but don’t think I would use again. I thought Sykes could be trusted. Seems to me that all you care about is taking my money. Not happy with how you have treated a loyal customer. Could not fault property. We had a great holiday. Many thanks to Mr Tom Jones.

"We had a relaxing holiday in this beautiful cottage."
Property was immaculately clean, very well equipped and had wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. The farmer (Tom) was very welcoming and brought us fresh eggs from his chickens. Our toddler loved going to visit the goats, chickens, geese and sheep. Would definitely recommend :-)
-
"The farmer/owner Tom was really lovely and friendly and couldn't do enough for you."
He brought us fresh eggs which were so tasty. The cottage was very clean and the bathrooms were particularly clean. Constant hot water and the water pressure was really good. Wi Fi was good too. The views were beautiful a really lovely cottage which we hope to go back to.
-
"This is a very well put together cottage that is perfect for families or groups - lovely main sitting room with a wonderful log fire, and Tom the owner, keeps the log supply fully stocked."
Kitchen has all that you could need. Two bathrooms means that there is no morning rows. It is very well thought out. The large picture window from the lounge gives great views of the countryside with Red Kites hovering seemingly within reach. Driving to and from the cottage you pass a small flock of geese (there were more but a fox reduced the numbers) and they honk their welcome which was endlessly funny to us - especially as they would run into things as they were so focused on honking at us. Highly recommended
-
"Beautiful house, very comfortable bed (at least the one we used) astonishing view, peaceful setting."
The owner was so friendly and welcoming. A bit off the normal tourist routes.
-
"Tom the owner and working farmer was a lovely unobtrusive host which complimented our stay."
-
"The cottage was fantastic and had everything we wanted to get away for a week of relaxation in beautiful surroundings."
Will certainly go back again to get again from the hustle and bustle.
-

"The cottage was just as described."
Everything was there that was needed, especially in the kitchen. The location was wonderful and the owner was sweet and thoughtful, he even brought us fresh eggs from his chickens :)
-
"Cottage is stunning and in a spectacular location."
Farmer Jones is a lovely man who made us feel so welcome. Area was fantastic for watching Red Kites from the property, our 18 month old son loved walking round the path to see the geese, goats, sheep and chickens on the farm. Extremely quiet location, ideal for a relaxing break
-
"The cottage was excellent."
It was very clean and comfortable and had everything we required. The views were amazing and the farmer (Tom) was very helpful and friendly and took the children to see some lambs which they loved. A fantastic week away and we would definitely return in the future.

About the location
PONTRHYDFENDIGAID
Tregaron 5.5 miles; Devil’s Bridge 9 miles; Aberystwyth 16 miles.
Pontrhydfendigaid is a small village in Mid Wales between Devil’s Bridge and Tregaron. The village lies on the edge of the Cambrian Mountains in beautiful countryside. It sits on the River Teifi and his home to a local shop and two nearby pubs, the Red Lion and the Black Lion. Devil's Bridge has been a tourist attraction for centuries and was celebrated by author George Borrow who wrote Wild Wales in 1854. This famous bridge spans the Mynach, a tributary of the River Rheidol and is unique as it is actually three bridges in one, the original built around 1100, the second above this in 1753 and the third in 1903. The bridge is at a point where the River Mynach drops 90 metres (300 ft) in 5 steps down a steep and narrow ravine before it meets the River Rheidol. The set of stone steps leading down to the lowest bridge at the waterfall are known as Jacob's Ladder. The attraction offers viewing points and after the steep walk there is a hotel and cafe for refreshments. This whole area boasts stunning scenery and wildlife and is renowned for walking, cycling, fishing and bird watching as well as trips to the beautiful Cardigan Bay coastline with its wild cliffs and sandy beaches.
