• "I stayed here for a week with my daughter and two dogs."

  It’s absolutely beautiful, charming cottage surrounded by sheep and birds. Peaceful lovely secure garden for our dogs. Everything you need is provided and Fran the owner kindly had the log fire lit so it was nice and warm on arrival also provided milk, cakes and flowers. A really thoughtful touch and very kind lady. Anything you need or information Fran is always happy to help. We found the cottage cozy comfortable and charming. We have already booked to return later in the year.

  Tantra, how lovely is this feedback! Thank you for taking the time to put this up. So glad you enjoyed your week here. I adore the painted rock you left, a lovely surprise thank you. Looking forward to seeing you later in the year, you'll be very welcome. Fran.. Property Owner

• "We've stayed here many times and it's always a pleasure to come back."

  Dog friendly and all the walks you could possibly want. Short drive to Cardigan for shopping and Poppet sands for the beach. I highly recommend a visit to Newport beach - amazing for dogs. Out of season a lot of tea rooms etc are closed but it means that you can visit places in relative peace. Cenarth Falls is just a few miles away and is stunning. Fran is an excellent host and nothing is too much trouble. The cottage is clean, very warm and comfortable. See you next year!

  Thanks again and again for this great feedback. 100% back to you too, for being perfect guests. Looking forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

• "A wonderful stay!"

  We stayed for a week with our young son. Fran was a wonderful host and looked after us perfectly. Thank you for the pumpkins, Harvey loved carving them for Halloween. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed and a perfect base for exploring a beautiful part of Wales. We shall miss our morning coffee, bird watching from the conservatory. Lots of different species and a slightly shy but hungry woodpecker. Thank you Fran

• "Fran, thankyou for our stay in your amazing property, it is exactly like the pictures but bigger."

  We enjoyed our 2wk stay and grateful to you for putting the heating on that day when it poured with rain, we were soaked. The house stands down a quiet lane away from roads etc. The only noise was nature, sheep, birds of which we saw plenty in the garden, our dog loved the enclosed garden to run around in. We visited the beaches, lovely trails for wheelchair users like myself, Fishguard with its cafe for cream teas. For peace and quiet you couldn't wish for anywhere better, a big thankyou.

  Thank you very much for this lovely review. Really great to hear how much you enjoyed your stay here. People staying yhis week have counted 14 different species of birds,going to the bird table already! Thanks again Fran Property Owner

• "Perfect few days away in this lovely cottage."

  Location is great for visiting local places. The cottage itself has everything you could need. Kitchen is fully equipped with washing machine, dishwasher, full size freezer and separate fridge. Living room is very spacious and has a lovely fireplace for those cooler nights. Beds are extremely comfortable and the garden is perfect for relaxing and watching the birds feeding. I would definitely recommend this cottage and would happily stay there again

  Thank you both for this perfect feedback. Really appreciate you taking the time to do so. Hugely rewarding to get such positive comments. Look forward to your return. Many thanks, king regards Fran Property Owner

• "Wonderful place to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the countryside."

  The garden is a lovely place to unwind and fantastic and safe for dogs. Our two loved it and had a brilliant time running around. Fran is a great host, there if needed, but not intrusive. It was our second visit and from reading the guest book, many people return for multiple visits, so that says it all. Thanks Fran, you do a great job!!

  Thank you Caroline for the feedback and also for tolerating with some maintenance that needed to be done! Glad to hear you and your dogs enjoyed the garden. Hope you are continuing a return to good health. A pity that your marking has brought the cottage right down in the ratings. Kindest regards Fran Property Owner

  It is a place to enjoy being as well as an ideal base from which to explore the beauty of the surrounding area - both coast and inland. Fran is a generous, warm hospitable host who is both available and non intrusive. The large, secure garden makes it ideal for adults, children and dogs. We look forward to returning.

  Brilliant! Well, what a lovely review, thank you so much.Guests often pick up on the tranquility of Maesgwyn and love it, there are times when it can be lively for a while, gathering sheep, shearing and then lambing, when ewes are on the yard and undercover.

  Fran, the owner, is so kind and helpful and gave us a wonderful, friendly welcome. We went walking every day, both along the Pembrokeshire coastline and also inland amongst some beautiful ancient woodlands using circular walks from the “Pathfinder Guide” books.

  We love this beautiful house and would recommend it to all our friends and family and was sad that we had to leave. It has everything that you could possibly need for a perfect, peaceful week away. Fran ( and her dogs, Bramble and Monty ) are the perfect hosts. Our dog has been sulking since we got home!

• "Freezing cold cottage."

  Timed central heating ( timer in locked box ) heating on 7am - 10am and 4pm - 10pm. The owner was not willing to provide central heating out of these times. Says there is backup heating ( small halogen heater ). There is a wood burner in the corner under a recess giving off very little heat ( no impact on large cottage). No heating at all in kitchen. We were sat with blankets at 8- 30 pm Still cold. Went to bed. Left the cottage at 10am cold. Couldn't find owner. Left them message and emailed later. No reply to knocks on door or messages. Had to leave for sake of our health. Very disappointed.

  Thank you for taking the time to give feedback. I am so sorry that the cottage did not suit your needs. This your second stay here. The cottage could not possibly have been warmer. There is another heater up stairs that you didn't use and you only used a couple of logs. I had had the heating on earlier and turned it off around 3 to make sure the timer was set correctly to switch on at 4pm.I think you will find many holiday cottages have central heating on a timer. The woodburner too had been lit at lunchtime and was roaring when you arrived. Also an electric heater was on in the conservatory, really just to cheer up a gloomy day. The large wood burner is in an inglenook with a register plate , to ensure all heat stays in the room. Guests usually love it and indeed others don't use it finding the temperature adequate. When discussed on arrival, it was agreed if the settings weren't right for your needs to discuss in the morning.The heating was still on when you left! I am sorry I did not answer the door, I was in the house and was totally unaware that you were looking for me, indeed even my dogs didn't hear you knocking. The only message I had was half an hour after I saw your car leave, when you messaged, saying you had left. Please accept my apologies, I aim to provide a comfortable stay, not to upset guests. It is such a shame that I wasn't given the opportunity to try and meet your requirements. Property Owner

  The listing does not do this beautiful cottage justice! The setting is out of this world. Down its own little country lane and in the most beautiful setting. The cottage is much bigger than we expected and very comfortable with all the facilities that you would need ( and more). The back garden is very private .....and HUGE! We did struggle a little with the water pressure for the shower, but there is a large modern bath, so we didnt find that to be a problem. The owner lives next door and was the perfect host. She is very helpful but not intrusive and its just nice to know she is there if you need anything. Thankyou for letting us share your beautiful cottage for the most relaxing week. We hope to come again!!!

  Fran is such a friendly host & again lit the wood burner as it was still a little chilly when we arrived after 4pm. There is always Welsh cakes & Bara brith with milk in the fridge on arrival which is very welcome. This is my 2nd visit to the property & as I have friends who live locally it is an ideal base to visit so many amazing places on the Pembrokeshire coast & inland. My only concern was the large rug in the kitchen that had started to curl up at the edges & then became a trip hazard. We managed to overcome this by turning the mat over so that the edges were flat. We then returned it to its usual position before we left. Looking forward to return visit next year.

• "Property situated in an idyllic spot."

  The 'garden room' very comfortable, looking out over the garden and catching the sun all afternoon, great for watching the bird life visiting the bird feeder. Felt, on the whole, that the house needed a facelift, outdated, fridge/freezer too small - even with 2 people - tight squeeze to put all the cold food in. Struggled to use the shower at all - no water pressure even after following instructions left by the owners! No problem with running a bath though.

  Thank you for leaving a review, and I'm delighted to hear that you loved the garden room and the location of the property. The property is indeed very old and we have tried to compromise between the keeping it's character and modern conveniences. There is a separate under counter freezer, aswell as the fridge. As for the shower, maybe there were other appliances using water at the same time, the house and the cottage use the same bore hole. No one in the last 2 months, since you were here has had a problem with it. Thank you again for your comments. Property Owner

  Tucked out of the way but everything you could want is only a short drive away. Cottage is lovely, quirky and full of nooks and crannies which we love.

  We thought post lockdown the cottage would have been in top condition. Never had to ask how to get the tv to work before or follow written instructions to have a shower. Has this property been inspected by you recently?

• "Great location, cosy cottage and lovely owners."

  Honestly didn’t want to leave. Really well located to explore the coast and very dog friendly with the enclosed garden (and friendly doggy neighbours). Our 2 Labradors loved it almost as much as we did.

  We were surrounded by fields with farm animals, a donkey and a horse. It was lovely to sit out in the evening with a glass of wine and a book. The owners live next door and are so very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The cottage is only a few minutes from Cardigan town and convenient to getting to other coastal resorts. We would definitely recommend this cottage.

• "Pleasant location albeit somewhat remote and accessible along very narrow lanes: thank goodness for the SatNav!"

  Comfort within the cottage was quite acceptable albeit a little dark in the front lounge at all times. However, the sun lounge and kitchen area were brighter and more welcoming. Very pleasant to pass the time in an evening. Sleeping accommodation was quite acceptable. The cottage faces east and consequently the sun shone through the thin blind and curtain making for an early awakening each morning. A blackout blind would have greatly assisted in that respect. Lovely open garden in the back, ideal for children or just sitting out in the sunshine. More than adequate kitchen facilities, pleasant eating areas and very spacious. Heating in the property was very good, totally adequate and controllable. Owners were very welcoming and helpful throughout our visit.

  This is a wonderful olde worlde quaint, remote cottage next to the owners on a working farm. There are animals right on the doorstep. I was lucky enough to see lambs being born & to hold a day old lamb. Fran & Chez are like old friends, they are not in your face, but allow you to get on with your holiday in your own pace. The cottage is full of charm, there was everything you need for a peaceful relaxing holiday in the perfect location, or if you prefer to get out and about and see the wonderful coastline and local sights. My husband and I, plus our two dogs felt at home and able to relax in comfortable surroundings. Thank you.

• "We've stayed at this peaceful cottage on 4 previous occasions so pretty much know what to expect."

  Chez and Fran are lovely hosts and after welcoming us, leave us to get on with our holiday. The cottage is constantly being improved and we see something has changed each time we stay. New flooring upstairs this time. The private garden is perfect for dogs and our border collie had great fun chasing a ball around. He even got to chase one of the farm cats which strayed into the garden whilst he was out. A perfect retreat and worth every penny.

• "Owners next door were friendly and helpful but unobtrusive."

  A lovely comfortable old cottage hidden away down a track in quiet countryside. We hardly used the lounge - nothing wrong with it, we just preferred to sit in the conservatory watching the birds. Only slight criticism was the fridge with a tiny icebox. For anyone who enjoys having the time to cook while on holiday it wasn't adequate and the broken door rack further reduced storage capacity. There was plenty of room for a fridge/freezer. Apart from that we spent a happy fortnight there
