"Beautiful cottage bit far from most places, but we still had a wonderful time."
Beds really comfortable as was the sofas, everything we wanted and more, miss the shower.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are glad that you found the cottage comfortable and you liked the shower. regards Lucy & Bob Property Owner

"We absolutely loved the cottage and the surrounding area."
I have never stayed at a cottage that had everything and more - the owners have really put a lot of thought and love into their cottage . The kitchen was so well equipped and I enjoy cooking so this was a dream come true. We visited so many interesting places - castles , Iron Age fort , wool museum, wildlife centres and the nearby beaches. We had three generations holidaying in the cottage and we all wished we could have stayed for another week
Thank you for writing such a complimentary review about your stay last week in our cosy Welsh cottage.We are so glad you found everything you needed to make your stay enjoyable.There are so many interesting places to visit and so many great beaches nearby.We love visiting our home from home as much as we can & are so happy when our guests appreciate what we provide.We look forward to you visiting again in the near future.

"Apart from the beautiful location of the cottage I was hugely impressed by how well equipped it was."
Everything was catered for and the buckets and spades (which we had forgot) just exemplified this. Nice touch to call and check up on us also.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review.We are glad you enjoyed your stay and found it to be well equipped. We try to make sure everything is catered for in our home from home. Regards Lucy & Bob. Property Owner

"A proper cottage."
A lovely Welsh cottage with loads of age & character but all the modern facilities you could want. Really clean & comfortable. The garden is so lovely too with the cliff on one side & a mountain stream flowing past on the other. The owners were available on the phone & so friendly & helpful. A great base to explore the beautiful beaches & countryside in Pembrokeshire. My only caution would be it's quite remote with narrow country lanes, if you're a very nervous driver, certainly don't trust the sat nav, if you turn into a lane with grass down the middle choose a different route!!
Thank you for such a lovely review from your recent visit to our little bit of Wales.Although the cottage dates back to 1760 we have modernised it sympathetically to allow for todays home comforts.We have found it to be very central to visit the lovely three counties which surround it.The country lanes all add to the charm and make the experience more interesting. Many thanks Lucy & Bob. Property Owner

"We had a lovely week staying at your beautiful home."
It was a really cosy and comforting space to be for me, my partner and young son, and a perfectly situated base from which to tour. Not only did we love the house, but we loved the little village where the house is. Pembrokeshire on the whole, blew us away. I had never been to that part of the world before in my 58 years on the planet. We all thought we had landed on a little piece of heaven. Of course, the great weather we had virtually all week, made a big difference.
Thank you for writing such a complimentary review on our Welsh home from home.We are so happy that you had a lovely week and got to share our little piece of Wales.Having grown up in Pembrokeshire I am so glad you have experienced first hand what a lovely part of the country it is.We look forward to your return in the near future. Many thanks Lucy & Bob. Property Owner

"This cottage had everything we needed."
It was spotless and clearly a home from home. Everything in this property is of a high specification and good quality from the fixtures/fittings and furnishings down to the cutlery. Sharp knives were a bonus! The King size bed was really comfortable, the upstairs bathroom was a treat to relax in and the downstairs bathroom of an equally high standard. The welcome pack was excellent and the wine and dog treats were much appreciated. The enclosed garden was ideal for my dog and there was a woodland walk at the top of the road as well as many footpaths and bridleways in the area. There are also some lovely beaches that dogs are welcome to have a run on. Lucy and Bob, (the owners) were extremely attentive, receptive and excellent communicators. Many thanks for the use of your beautiful Cottage. Kind Regards Hannah

"What a beautiful cottage in a beautiful place peace and quiet if you want it but ..."
What a beautiful cottage in a beautiful place peace and quiet if you want it but not far away from life if you don't it's everything a cottage should be cosy with a lovely warm open fire and a little stream trickling by great owners too as I found out when I locked myself out but was sorted within minutes I would 100% recommend this cottage
Thank you for the lovely feedback from your recent stay at our home from home.We are glad you got to appreciate the log burner & the sound of the stream all day is something we also love.Lucy & Bob. Property Owner

"The property was everything you could possibly have hoped for."
A lovely 3 bedroom cottage that happily accommodated the family (three couples plus a 5 year old and a dog!), which had been beautifully decorated for Christmas which was the finishing touch. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could need and the two sitting rooms provide ample space to chill out in front of the fire or tv. The dining table made a perfect setting for our family Christmas dinner, which was topped off by gifts for my nephew, the dog and the family. With a babbling stream just outside, the courtyard makes a perfect location to sit and relax! The village is quaint but provides easy access to nearby Cardigan whilst allowing you to get away from it all. Wouldn't hesitate visiting again and Lucy and Bob did everything to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. 10/10 would recommend for a getaway.
Thank you for taking the time to publish such a lovely review about our cosy cottage in Wales.We try to make it magical for Christmas in our home from home especially at this time of the year.Quality family time is so important and we try to cater for your every need providing lasting memories.We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to your return in the near future.

"Great place to stay."
Lovely cottage. Felt more like a well loved home than an empty formulaic holiday let. Lovely and warm with the option of a fire in the wood burner. Kitchen very well equipped, you could even bake a cake if you wanted to as mixer and cake tins are provided. Lovely powerful shower and plenty of hot water on tap. Some low ceilings but you very quickly get used to those or put those that don't in another room! Easy to find and plenty of amazing walks nearby. Also not too far from the coast and we would recommend the beaches at Aberporth for a swim, even in November. I’m sure there are lots of other amazing beaches nearby but we ran out of time to explore more options. Would recommend this cottage for anyone who wants a lovely break in this gorgeous part of Wales.
Thank you for the lovely feedback you provided after your recent stay at our home from home in this beautiful part of Wales.We strive to make it comfortable & relaxing for all our guests.We are pleased that you found it warm and made full use of the wood burner.You are more than welcome to stay again to explore further.Lucy&Bob.

"Lovely but central heating would not work properly."
Cos us £60 for logs for the fire
Thank you for taking the time to write a review.We are very disappointed as we were not given the opportunity to rectify any issues you had with the heating.We explained how to over ride the heating settings and even rang back an hour later to check everything was ok for you and if there was any more issues then just to ring us.But you confirmed everything was fine.So we were surprised to hear via this review that you experienced more problems during your stay.We will always try and rectify any issues as long as we made aware of them at the time.

"The cottage is located in a tiny village which is nicely secluded (But not to the extent that you feel cut off)."
The area is beautiful and wonderful to explore. Some beautiful woodlands to explore just a short drive away, and the beaches around cardigan are excellent especially for dogs. The cottage is very quaint, very warm and inviting with more equipment than you are ever likely to need. This is the first time we have done a holiday cottage and we were very happy with the experience.
Thank you for taking the time to write such lovely feedback about our welsh cottage. We are so pleased you enjoyed your first holiday cottage experience.We take pride in providing everything our guests and four legged friends could need.It is such a beautiful unspoilt area and we enjoy sharing our little piece of Wales with our guests.Lucy & Bob.

"'this is a most beautiful cottage."
Furniture and appliances were first class. The owners were most helpful when we encountered some problems. Like no heater as my husband had fiddled with the thermostat... We found the location a bit remote as we are a bit older and found travelling the one lane roads difficult at night. But as I said the cottage is one of the nicest we have stayed at.
Thank you for your kind words about our holiday cottage Lucy & Bob Property Owner

"Highly recommend on all aspects."
Quiet, peaceful & extremely comfortable cottage. Has everything you need. Felt like being at home. Chatted with Lucy and Bob and it was like talking to old friends and their cottage reflects their care and personalities. Wine, milk and chocolate much appreciated.

"Star Mill Cottage is absolutely beautiful, well appointed, very comfortable and quiet."
Our dogs loved the big open ground floor, many walks nearby and the treats that were kindly left for them. We couldn't have asked for any more. Thanks for a wonderful family stay!!
-
"The cottage was lovely with everything you could possibly need - a lovely, well eqipped kitchen."
We usually stay in a caravan so was a luxury to have a washing machine & dishwasher. Also, having a shower room with a great shower as well as a bathroom meant no one had to wait! The beds were comfy & we all slept well. There were instructions for everything & most things were easy to work out. We are familiar with the surrounding area but had never been to Star before. I loved being able to buy fresh eggs locally. I enjoyed sitting in the garden every morning listening to the stream which was very relaxing & we were lucky enough with the weather all week to be able to do that. If you want peace & quiet, this is the place!

"Lovely welcoming cottage and beautiful location."
Would be more than happy to stay again.

"The cottage was lovely and most of the facilities were impressive."
However, the wi-fi was almost non-existent and none of our party (5) could make or receive phone calls on our mobiles. Even walking up the hill a couple of hundred yards did not produce a network connection. We were from three different households, all with children and grandchildren whom we like to stay in contact with, but this was not possible once we returned to the cottage each evening. One of our group, who is self-employed, left 2 days earlier than planned because he was out of reach of his customers for long periods. He texted my sister at 9pm to let her know that he arrived home safely, but this was not received until over 2 hours later by her. She could not phone him, as no network. Planning day trips without a signal for GPS was problematic and we had to drive a mile up the road before we could do this. I think we should have been informed that the wi-fi was very sporadic and phone network would be lost, particularly given the price that we paid. Also, the cottage, although lovely, was very dark and the very small patio areas did not get any evening sunshine, which was a shame, as it would have been nice to have had the option to dine outside, as you do when on holiday and the weather is beautiful.
We are glad to hear you thought our 18th century cottage was lovely. With regard to mobile signal this would have been explained to you if we could have contacted you prior to your visit . We provide a landline which can be used and the telephone number is in the cottage information pack. We were concerned that you had not contacted us 48 hours before your arrival and we ended up contacting Sykes to give you the code for the key safe. Regarding the broadband we hadn't had any problems with the internet as we stayed the week before your visit, unfortunately in the village we don't get fibre optic broadband. When Bob rang on the Monday evening he said if there were any problems do not hesitate to ring us or the housekeeper, but neither of us or Sykes had any communication from yourselves so we could rectify the problem, the first we knew about it was when the review was posted. We have since had it checked and there doesn't seem to be an issue with it, so it must have been a blip in the system. We are always happy to help where possible. Regards Lucy & Bob Property Owner

"Can’t recommend this cottage highly enough."
The owners make sure every need is catered for. It’s the cottage that keeps on giving! The area is idyllic and although it is a bit far from major towns, it’s not a problem. This cottage is quite probably my ideal home. We were so sad to leave...

"Star Mill cottage is a lovely place to stay for exploring west Wales."
We were me and my wife in the open plan bedroom, 2 children in the twin room and my Dad in the double bedroom. The facilities were great, with us finding things around the cottage every day that we didn't think we needed e.g. Ice blocks in the freezer, cool boxes, body boards for the kids, beach parasol, catchup TV, blue ray player, dvd's, books, OS maps, washing powder, tea, coffee, cling film, tupawere. Thank you to Bob And Lucy, a really well thought out holiday property that you obviously care about and want others to enjoy as much as you do.

"Having read the rave reviews we were disappointed, cottage is extremely dark , densely populated with furniture ( eg."
abundance of seating considering it is only for six people maximum) Main bedroom lacks privacy if more than 2 adults staying we did not have issue with this as there was only 2 of us. Bed extremely uncomfortable and overcrowded with furniture. The upstairs toilet facilities make it difficult for a male to address due to sloping ceiling and beams. Parking for a larger car is difficult. On the positive side the down stairs shower room was very good and kitchen well equipped. The location is good.
-
"We loved this cottage - it was cosy and comfortable and gave us a great base to explore the surrounding area from."
Facilities all top-notch, well-equipped kitchen, modern bathrooms, comfortable beds and loads of games, DVDs, books etc. Fast internet connection was v. much appreciated given the lack of mobile signal in the area! overall, would highly recommend Star Mill Cottage.
-
"A delightful cottage, extremely well equipped."
Very relaxing. Totally enjoyable, loved it!
-
"Fantastic cottage with absolutely everything thought of."
You won’t want for anything! Comfortable, warm, cosy, we felt right at home instantly. The dogs loved it, we loved it. The perfect base for exploring the area
-
"The house was lovely and well equipped."
Great location for exploring around West Wales.
-
"Cottage was lovely."
Very nice welcome and a call from the owner to make sure we had everything we needed on the first day. Great base to explore Ceredigion from. Thanks.
-
"I enjoyed sitting in the little yard listening to the stream."
-
"Lovely clean and comfortable cottage in a quiet hamlet but near to pubs and beaches."
So restful sitting next to the stream listening to all the birds. The owners' kindly provided a starter pack of milk, fresh eggs, brownies, wine and doggie treats. There was also a well equipped kitchen with tea, coffee and sugar to start the stay off. One of the houses had an honesty box where you could buy a box of half dozen fresh eggs for a £1 and they were the best eggs ever had for breakfast. The shower was brilliant and the bath was a real decadent experience, due to the high water pressure a little bit of bubble bath went a long way, only thing I didn't think of was a glass of bubbly! Won't forget next time. It was a lovely touch that the owner's rang on the Sat to check if everything was okay. As they had left full instructions on how everything worked luckily I didn't need to bother them. Would certainly go back and would highly recommend if you want a nice peaceful place to stay but near to everything you need to enjoy the holiday.

"Everything was perfect!"
The cottage was beautiful very well appointed and extremely comfortable. We loved exploring the local area and found lots to do. I can highly recommend the Ferry Inn at St Dogmeals as the food was very good and they welcomed dogs. The little touches left by the owners of the cottage were very much appreciated we had wine and chocolates and treats for our dog. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cottage. Thank you

"Star Mill Cottage was perfect for our needs."
It was clean and comfortable and had every facility that we needed. All the family thoroughly enjoyed he stay and we were sad to leave at the end of our stay. Given the opportunity we would definitely return to this cottage which is set in a fabulous location.
-
"Our holiday was hassle free."
The owners called before we set off just in case we had any questions. We spent Christmas with our 3 children, again the owner called to find out names and ages and on our arrival there were 3 presents under the tree as well as a bottle of bubbly, some lovely biscuits and Christmas crackers. We have had the best time and have made some lovely memories. Huge thanks to all

"Comfortable, extremely well equipped cottage."
-
"Cottage was very nice ,But unfortunately we only had 4 days out of our seven booked due to a family bereavement."
-
"We had a lovely time at the cottage, and although it was a little off the beaten track, once we became orientated it was quite easy to visit lots of places."
The cottage itself was extremely well equipped having 2 bathrooms, one with a shower. It was very spacious but quaint and had every utensil one would want or need. The mezzanien-type master bedroom did not give much privacy to the occupants, but it is probably to be expected in such old properties. The response to a small problem we had with setting up the television was instant and greatly appreciated. The local people were great and, overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Cardigan 10 miles. A most delightful detached Pembrokeshire cottage, full of charm and character. Set in the idyllic hamlet of Star, ten miles from Cardigan, this cottage has wonderful countryside all around, and a pretty stream running past and under the bridge across the road. The spacious sitting room of this cottage has two delightful sitting areas separated by the stairs, one set around the inglenook fireplace with warming woodburner and the other with French doors overlooking the garden. An open archway leads to a very well-equipped kitchen with a stable door to let in the sunshine. The stairs in the middle of the sitting room lead you directly into a charming mezzanine king-size bedroom with open beams, lovely floorboards, a slate windowsill, TV, and use of a screen for privacy if required. The further two bedrooms in this cottage are equally charming. The delightful enclosed garden runs along both sides of the cottage.
There is a low wall and fence at the side so that you can enjoy the sight and sound of the small stream running alongside. For a peaceful, relaxing holiday you will find no better place but you are also based in the perfect location to enjoy the nearby market town of Newcastle Emlyn, the coastal town of Cardigan, the fabulous coastline, sandy beaches, farm parks and, for those wanting a bit of excitement, Oakwood Theme Park, which is 22 miles away. Take wonderful countryside walks or cycle rides from the doorstep knowing that at the end of your day you will be returning to this most delightful Pembrokeshire cottage.
