"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.
-
"Simply our favourite cottage by far."
2nd stay and just as nice as before. A credit to the hosts Bob and Rowena. We will be back to enjoy once again in the future.
-
"I stayed a week with my two dogs."
Lovely place, very friendly owner, I couldn’t fault it! Definitely be back, it was perfect.
-
"A really lovely cottage in a beautiful rural location."
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.

"Situated in a quiet and isolated location this cottage is a fabulous retreat."
We and our dog loved it. The owners were great and helpful. The welcome pack was really appreciated. Very dog friendly.
-
"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 ..."
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
-
"The cottage and it's peaceful surroundings far exceeded our expectations, the photos simply do not do it justice."
Despite the weather we had a fantastic much needed week away and we are definitely looking to book again later in the year. Rowena and Bob were first class hosts. What more could you want.
-
"A comfortable cottage which was great for a quiet relaxing getaway, run by a lovely couple."
-
"The cottage was very well thought out a real home from home."
Spotlessly clean and lovely and warm. The garden was amazing the dogs absolutely loved it. The fields are right on the door step to walk the dogs. The views are stunning and having the chickens and gander wandering around was the icing on the cake. Bob and Rowena are lovely hosts they're there if needed them but not intrusive. I would definitely recommend Blaenffynnon. It's one of the best cottages we've stayed in and we've had quite a few holiday cottages holidays.

"There is nothing more that I can say, than to say to you just read every review,( I have never seen as many 5 * reviews/ and people who have returned for another holiday here to the same cottage)."
If you are visiting South Wales /Pembrokeshire/ Camarthenshire, here is a lovely place to stay. Every amenity in the cottage. Attached lovely fields to walk the dog(s). EV charger a godsend for those who have a elec. vehicle. Very quiet and lovely.

"We really enjoyed our holiday, good welcome pack, great shower and comfy sofas."
The bed was a bit hard for us, and roads to property a little narrow, but lovely peaceful property, and could get to many places
-
"A lovely cottage with everything needed for a great, relaxing holiday."
It's peaceful and so quiet with wonderful views. Our dog Missy loved the fact she had a very large field to play in and even a duck pond to cool off, though she did avoid it when the goose and goslings were about! All in all if you're looking for peace and relaxation then you wont find better. Bob and Rowenna were on hand with info and chats and the welcome basket was great.
-
"A comfortable well equipped cottage set in a beautiful garden in the rolling Carmarthenshire countryside."
Ideally situated for exploring the local area and into Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion. We enjoyed our holiday very much.
-

Rowena and Bob very helpful and thoughtful. Lovely few days.

"Lovely property in a beautiful, pleasant location (the dog absolutely loved the outside space)."
Excellent hosts - highly recommended.
-
"A peaceful and tranquil setting in the middle of nowhere which was great."
Set in nine acres with sheep, ducks, geese and hens for company. The hosts were next door. Never intrusive but there if you needed them. If you want to get away from it all I would highly recommend this wonderful hideaway.
-

Clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Great place to unwind. The Welsh cakes and tray of other items on arrival was a lovely touch. All the animals and the beautiful pond were another bonus. Every detail was thought of. Well done and thank you.

"Wow what a gem of a place."
We had a beautiful welcome from Rowena as we arrived. The cottage is immaculate and so beautifully presented. We cannot find any negatives with this wonderful place. We took our anxious border collie so that we could avoid the fireworks and he had an amazing time.

They made sure our stay was comfortable and we were well looked after. Blissfully peaceful and relaxing.
-
"A really lovely cottage which I’d highly recommend."
Located in a rural and very quiet location. Great size for 2 people with a lovely open plan kitchen/dinner/living area. Light and airy with a large sliding door to the outside where there was seating and a table for when the weather is good. Views from here (also seen from inside) were fab over the open countryside. Bedroom and especially the bathroom were bigger than they looked from the photos. Everything provided for your stay with the added bonus of a lovely welcome pack of milk, eggs, Welsh cakes and wine! Nothing could be faulted. We’ll be back again!
-
"Property was amazing as was the surroundings, owners were just perfect n very obliging"
-
"Beautiful property, spotlessly clean and well equipped."
Lovely location with views and lots of fields to walk our dog. Friendly and helpful owners and the welcome box was much appreciated. Watched a bit of sheep shearing in their smallholding. Ideal spot to visit some fabulous uncrowded and unspoilt beaches: Poppit Sands, Newport and Aberborth. The Welsh Wildlife Centre and Brechfa Forest provided lovely woodland walks. Cardigan is a charming little town with lovely shops and cafes. The weather was great and everywhere was dog friendly. A perfect holiday.
-
"We had a delightful holiday in this lovely property."
The barn was immaculately clean and had a good array of kitchen equipment. It is in a very pleasant, isolated setting, ideal for walking and exploring. The owners were pleasant and helpful and the “goody basket” was a thoughtful touch. Our dog was welcomed and enjoyed having such a large, area of field in which to run around. We can thoroughly recommend. Jill and Rowland.
-
"So quiet and peaceful."
For us the mattress was too hard but that is a personal opinion. Lovely to see the chickens, ducks and geese wandering around.
-
"Perfect hideaway, great hosts providing a lovely welcome pack."
Our stay was faultless, relaxing and the perfect base to discover Pembrokeshire. Poppit sands was glorious.
-
"An outstanding property in a wonderfully quiet location, outstanding views, very well equipped , cosy and comfortable."
We loved it for the solitude and isolation , but possibly that would not suit everyone. Bob and Rowena were exceptional hosts to us and our two dogs. The welcome goodies were much appreciated. We have already booked again for this Autumn
-
"Perfect cottage and perfect hosts , would highly recommend"
-
"This property is superb."
Great accommodation, super fixtures and fittings and very clean. Shower room was amazing. Good to have access to Netflix and Amazon prime (through our own accounts). Location is really quiet. Owners very friendly and helpful. Great welcome pack on arrival with wine, Welsh cakes, fresh eggs, milk, teabags and coffee. Good supply of logs and kindling for the log burner. If you want to get away from it all this is the place for you.
-

-
"Beautiful place that we absolutely love and our dogs."
We have been 3 times now and will be back next year
-
"I was given a warm welcome by the owners and felt very much at home and happy for the whole week of my stay."
The bungalow has a spacious living/dining and kitchen area equipped for everything one needs. There were some edible extras left for me, which were much-appreciated. I was prepared to be self-sufficient, not wanting to over-use the car and this preparation was worthwhile. The location is very peaceful, the sitting-out area at the south-facing back and surrounding garden really lovely. All in all a very good place to stay.
-
"We had a wonderfully relaxed week at Blaenffynnon bach ."
The barn is of a very high standard and very comfortable. Stunning views as far as the eye can see. The owners are very friendly and have created the ideal venue for the holiday we desired with our 2 dogs who had a great time. We highly recommend this property. Definitely a winner !!
-
"The barn was a little peace of heaven, sooo peaceful and relaxed with everthing you could possibly want."
The barn was spotlessly clean, it had a wonderful comfortable bed and a great shower you didnt want to get out of! Amazing views of the countryside on the little patio where it was wonderful to sit with a glass of wine watching the sun go down and the ducks, chickens and geese waddling past! The owners were extremely friendly and very helpful and especially in our hour of need were so very kind. I would definately recommend this accommodation to anyone wanting peace, tranquility and a place to unwind and relax away from it all.
-
"Excellent property and friendly owners."
Lovely welcome pack on arrival and plenty to do in the area.
-
"The weather was unusually hot so a parasol on the patio would have been very welcome."
Otherwise everything great.
-
"Cottage perfect grounds beautiful only problem for drivers not to confident lanes in the area a bit hairy"
-
"Fantastic cottage with all amenities needed to enjoy a week away."
Idyllic location. Pure bliss
-
"The "Bach" (converted barn) was perfect for our needs."
Plenty of space - all the equipment you could want - the bathroom had a great shower! Location was really peaceful and the view out of the french windows was wonderful! Bob & Rowena were very helpful and supplied a "welcome pack" ! The area has plenty of places of interest to visit and the single track roads give some marvelous views of the countryside and because we went in June were very quiet - just be aware there were plenty of tractors about whilst we were there so you don't rush anywhere! Thoroughly recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxed & comfortable place to stay!
-

We had a great time & would definitely recommend. Thank you
-
"Wow!! Our hostess was the best ever"
. We were met at the car on arrival. Later on Rowena our hostess told us what to expect from the weather different places to visit. Spot on. We will definitely book Blaenffynnon Bach again. Looking forward to seeing Rowena and her beautiful cottage again.
