"Lovely little cottage in a beautiful valley."
Had everything we could need. Would rather a washing machine than a dish washer. The friendly owners were close to answer any questions and had lots of information handy for places to go. We were very lucky with the unusually hot weather, sometimes too hot The garden furniture provided a large umbrella, chairs and a large table and reclining chairs. Sat outside for some of our meals. Sat in the dark in the late evening listening to the river, the owls and star gazing. Really enjoyed our holiday.

"Excellent cottage."
It is very comfortable, clean and well maintained. It has everything you need for a week away.
-
"A great cottage in a very peaceful spot."
It had everything we wanted and was very clean. The beds had quality mattresses and were really comfortable. The owners (who live across the lane) are lovely people and were really nice to chat to - without being intrusive. We loved meeting their dog and horse! Having no wifi wasn't a problem as we could get 4G. There are so many lovely places to visit within 40 minutes drive.

"The cottage was lovely and cosy."

"Cwmdu Cottage is a real hidden gem."
A perfect getaway. Located in a very tranquil setting on the outskirts of Newcastle Emlyn, with stunning views along the valley. The cottage is cosy, comfortable and well equipped and perfectly situated to explore this spectacular region of Wales, its coastline and many beaches. The owners, Angela & Tony, are a lovely friendly couple whose company we thoroughly enjoyed. They were perfect hosts. We look forward to visiting again.

"Perfect week in lovely setting."
Garden and views were amazing. Great location to visit many nearby beaches. Very welcoming hosts.
-
"We had an absolutely fantastic time at this beautiful little cottage."
On arrival we found it to be spotlessly clean with a fresh spring flower planter to welcome us. The cottage is cosy but has the perfect amount of space for two or three as designed and the location is wonderful for those wishing to get away from it all. There's next to no traffic noise in this valley location and all you can hear are the birds. Hosts Angela and Tony are incredibly charming, thoughtful and helpful but not intrusive. We would highly recommend and we hope to visit again in the very near future. It's perfect!

"Really comfortable, well equipped cottage with the owners on hand in case of problems………."
.or to supply you with fresh eggs! Directions were easy to follow and close to the town of Newcastle Emlyn for easy shopping. Lovely rural setting with plenty of walking and close to places of interest. Highly recommended.
-
"Great cottage very cozy, nice view."
Good communication with owners. The only downside was the fact that we had to bring our own bedding covers and towels.
-
"More comfortable sofas plus wi fi"
-
"We could not have had a more relaxing week if we tried with lovely hosts."
The cottage was beautiful inside and out, warm and comfortable with everything that we needed. It’s also in a perfect location with a lovely walk along the river. Be prepared for very little signal which really helped in being able to switch off and enjoy a super relaxing holiday. Thank you for a wonderful week, we can’t wait to come back
-

"Lovely house set in beautiful surroundings."
Everything you need in the accommodation, which is tastefully decorated. The owners are very friendly, and on hand to assist with anything you may need. We have just returned from our second visit, already planning our third! Would definitely recommend a visit.

Tony & Angela are brilliant hosts, nothing is to much trouble, very helpful, cottage is in a quiet location, we would recommend them and the cottage
-
"A warm cosy and extremely peaceful cottage in a & beautiful quiet valley."
Everything we needed for our stay and our hosts were very friendly & helpful. Facilities close by in Newcastle Emlyn & a comfortable base to explore the area. No internet in the cottage was expected but the very intermittent (3) mobile signal too made planning & research more challenging.
-
"Lovely cottage in beautiful location."
Hosts helpful and friendly. Lots in the area to see and do.
-
"Great place, very quiet."
Easy to reach coast and local sites. River walk a bit tricky in places and you need good foot ware. single track road with grass down the middle. The only other property you can see from the cottage is the owners house on the side of the hill. Very helpful owners, welcomed in then left alone, but available if needed. Loved the place and would book again.
-
"It was very peaceful."
The weather exceeded our expectations. The owners were very helpful. It was certainly God's country. Would prefer to be able to state that we are not bothered about publishing.

"We had a very comfortable relaxing time in this lovely cottage."
The views from the sunny patio were wonderful; we loved watching the buzzards and kites soaring around . We walked around by the river and through fields and made friends with the gorgeous resident pony. The hosts were always on hand and were exceptionally helpful and friendly. We would highly recommend this lovely place, and very much hope to return.

"A chance to see the only pristine forest in Ceredigion having lived there until 1972 5mins walk from the cottage only change trees have grown so big and paths still accessible more or less."
Main walk is to see the falls for best Veiw is the left side with slight difficult over a hedge.
-
"Exceptionally delightful hosts, the cottage proved to be more spacious than we had anticipated from photos."
In terms of equipment we have marked below the highest rating, not because we feel we lost out in any way, but many cottages have items such as wifi, a washing machine, cubicle shower, copious kitchen items for example. For our purposes these were not essential and overall, we think this was one of the best holiday cottage experiences we have ever had and would have no hesitation in recommending to family and friends.
-
"This holiday cottage is absolutely perfect in every way."
It's situated in a stunning and totally peaceful location and the owners are so hospitable and friendly. We loved it!
-
"Excellent location."
Very friendly owners. We purposely chose this location for the lack of wi-fi to get some peace and quiet (There is a signal a bit up the road). Lots of nice walks and enough facilities in the town to keep you supplied - there's a lot of tea shops. You're within easy drive of a lot of great places to visit. Our daughter got to see dolphins in Cardigan Bay which made the holiday worthwhile for her. The booking process was easy. A very stress free, peaceful holiday.
-
"Yet another wonderful stay at Cwmdu Cottage."
This place is a hidden gem. Quiet, peaceful, relaxing and set in beautiful surroundings. Highly recommended.
-
"A lovely spot, quiet and peaceful"
-
"We have been holidaying in that area for thirty years and it never disappoints."
In general we have never been disappointed with our accommodation and Cwmdu did it once more. Our hosts were really welcoming and were interested in where we had been over the week as well as our comfort. A real winner cannot fault anything.
-
"Cwmdu Cottage is set in a beautiful part of Wales."
It has fantastic views and is well appointed inside. A special treat is the morning birdsong which we appreciated. We had a warm welcome from Angela and Tony the owners who live nearby. Another great week away in mid Wsles. Thank you.

"The only issue was the shower which was a hand held shower with you had to sit in the bath to use."
-
"We truly enjoyed our stay at the cottage."
The cottage is well suited for a family of 3. Waking up every morning in the middle of the mountains was breath taking. Taking walks in the woods was a wonderful experience to me. The landlords very helpful and kind. They have brochures for areas around and places of interest "ie" beach, shops and many more.
-
"This was our second time to Cwmdu Cottage and, despite the weather (it rained a lot!"
!), it was still a lovely stay. The cottage is so peaceful and relaxing you really do not want to go home at the end of your stay. It was a real pleasure to go back to the cottage at the end of the day and just sit outside with a glass of wine and listen to the bubbling of the local river/ waterfall. The local beaches are beautiful and the countryside incredibly inspirational for walking. The hosts, Angela and Tony, are very accommodating and friendly. Thank you again for a lovely stay and I am sure we will back again next year.

"We had a great time at Cwmdu Cottage."
It is situated in a lovely little valley in an extremely scenic part of Wales. The opportunities to explore the coastline and countryside are practically inexhaustible. As for the house itself, it is exceptionally clean and has all the amenities you might need. The owners are very helpful and friendly - and only a short walk away should you have any questions! Highly recommended.
-
"We received a warm welcome from the owners when we arrived."
Cottage was extremely clean and nicely furnished. The location was very peaceful near to many local country walks. Easy driving distance from Pembrokeshire and Cardiganshire coast. We had a restful holiday- just what we needed!
-
"Very pleasant location."
Secluded yet accessable for both coast and country.Nice sitting out area and easy parking.Owners helpful but not intrusive.Perfect for walkers but also good centre for touring mid Wales.Cottage itself very comfortable and user friendly.
-
"A brilliant cottage."
The location is excellent and the views down the valley are 10 out of 10. Almost every day we saw buzzards flying overhead. The owners are very friendly and helpful, they really went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Also, a really good central location ideal for visiting the West and South coasts of Wales. I would highly recommend this cottage for a 'get away from it all' break. Having said that, local amenities are also not too far away if required. Overall, a gem of a place to stay. We will definitely be coming back next year.
