  • "An ideal place for my wife and I, delightful barn with all needs catered for,lovely tranquil location, although it would not suit those who want the hub bub of people and the clamour of entertainment."

    But perfect for solitude and the gentle noises of the birds and livestock .All in all perfect!

  • "A lovely home set in beautiful Welsh countryside."

    If you want to get away from it all this is where you should go. The cottage has all modern facilities. You could just spend every day of your break just reading a book here. Or watching the sun go down producing a beautiful sunset while enjoying your G&T. We can’t praise this cottage enough. We would definitely go back for another stay.

    It was very well appointed and had everything you need for a relaxing break. The weather was perfect as was the small terrace for enjoying the sun and listening to the local farmers hard at work making hay. I would definitely recommend it and we hope to return in the future

  • "My husband, dog and I loved staying here - it was so peaceful, a real getaway in a beautiful setting."

    We loved the converted barn, firstly it was bigger than what you’d expect from the photos which is a first. It was extremely clean, comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. The welcome gift of Welsh cakes, tea, coffee, butter and milk was lovely. The layout was great - the amazing views of the countryside can be seen from sitting having breakfast at the table, on the sofa watching the Euros or sitting up in bed. We loved watching the resident ducks, chickens and goose in their daily routines particularly the ducks and goose following each other down to the pond every morning for a swim. We kept our dog on a long lead which he was happy with as the one time we let him off he moved closer to where the sheep were in the field below the barn and barked which scared them - he was promptly put back on the lead. We had trips out to Cardigan, Poppit Sands and Cenarth Falls - ensure you have £3 in cash for parking at Cenarth Falls as it’s worth it for a short walk along the river and also the gift shop is really lovely as is the owner who was very chatty and friendly. We went to Poppit Sands on a Monday when it was almost deserted. It is beautiful - well worth a trip. As we were on a relaxing holiday we didn’t want to go any further than half an hour away so didn’t explore Pembroke which was a bit further afield. We spent several days at the cottage reading and soaking up the peaceful atmosphere. We bought all our supplies from Tesco in Cardigan and we have an EV so we paid the extra to charge it at the cottage which was very handy. Regarding earlier reviews, the owners are great and are on hand if you need them but leave you to your own devices. And also some previous reviews mentioned the track to the cottage - it is fine, just take it slow and no problem - the sensors go off due to folliage. Driving to the property there are single track roads through the village which are on an incline - again, take it slow and you’ll be fine like we were. It was our first holiday to Wales and we will definitely be back.

  • "We really enjoyed our stay, the cottage was very clean and extremely comfortable."

    The only drawback for us was that the garden is not enclosed so we had to keep our dog on her lead the whole time. We would definitely book again though. Loved the Welsh cakes and eggs that were left for us.

    Nice one bed bungalow facing owners house parking for unloading on an incline and unmade road to property is really only suitable for SUV It’s a small holding so chickens geese poop on patio daily and in grass facing so be careful where you walk Was a bit isolated for us but bungalow was good everything you need and clean with milk butter tea coffee and fresh eggs on arrival

  • "Excellent cottage, very peacful location, and fitted out to a high standard, no mismatched kitchen equipment or dull knives."

    Everything you need for a short stay. Great view over the local fields. Bob and Rowenna were welcoming, left me some fresh eggs from their chickens and ducks and provided some welshcakes too. Location means its not close to shops or amenities, but head in to Narberth for all the local shops and produce you could need, Livs bakery is certainly worth a visit.

  • "If you are looking for a complete escape, then Blaenffynnon Bach is the place for you - quiet, remote but with every comfort of home."

    The cottage has been beautifully and sympathetically converted with plenty of room for a couple, well equipped with lots of storage. Bob and Rowena were lovely hosts - on hand if we had needed them but not intrusive in any way. They left us a lovely welcome basket of a small supply of tea and coffee, eggs and homemade Welsh cakes (the best we had!) and fresh milk and butter in the fridge. They also had a great selection of information about the area, various leaflets and a really handy AA map marked up with the barn's location in relation to various towns and places to visit - all very helpful indeed. Strong wi-fi signal in the property which was wonderful because as you can imagine in the Welsh hills and valleys, mobile reception isn't great! I wouldn't hesitate to revisit Blaenffynnon Bach! Thank you Bob and Rowena
