"Place was dirty and needed cleaning before anything could be done, cups were filthy, scrap heaters and an old high chair at the side of the property, dog poo all over the rear lawn that had not been mowed in weeks. some wierd outbuilding full of rubbish at the rear. Garden isnt secure if you have that kind of dog.We got there eventually (apalling directions) to find the key left in the door and all the heaters off, place was freezing and no instructions for use, literally nothing at all. No WiFi despite constantly complaining about it. The shower drain blocked on the 2nd day, flooding the bathroom and nearly the bedroom. nothing was done despite reporting it numerous times. Fortunately I'm a plumber so I sorted it, clogged with everything you can put down a drain. vile. I could however do nothing to help the moving toilet, I could have walked out with it, it's that loose!! The new heaters are good at keeping you awake with the brightest blue LED glow I've ever seen. Didn't need the lights at night, so bright! Guess how I slept...... and the old one has 0 instructions and a mind of its own.By far the most concerning part has to do with the safety equipment in the property. It is there to keep you safe if the worst should happen and is a legal requirement.The fire blanket looks like it's been used and folded back up and stuffed into its box, then turned upside down to ensure it stays put. Then there's the the in case of fire poster, obscured by tat and not visable.But by far the best is the fire extinguisher, its not been checked in 20 years and has zero pressure in it. if anything happened youd lose everything and have no insurance coverage. (All of the above I have photographic evidence of this as I literally couldn't make any of this up.)On the plus side the hot tub was a very welcome (and clean) addition.Local amenities are good, having a morrisons nearby and tesco and M&S food close also, so whatever food you want is close at hand. Not that you can cook in the kitchen, there's more prep space on a playing card. Ready meals only kind of kitchen in reality. Ive stayed in smaller places with better designed kitchens.The place was origanlly designed to be wheelchair friendly, then that builder got fired, as the place has a walk in shower, lower lightswitches and ramps but nothing else is geared to this end. its a strange place indeed - the kitchen units are normal height, the furniture is positioned to be completly in the way and the washing machine / dryer are inaccessable to normal humans. The hot tub was really the only saving grace, it did make a big difference to what could have only been as awful place.Booked on a credit card, Thank God. Now ive finally recovered (slept) ill be seeking advice."

"Beautiful apartment and location! Tranquil and serene are the perfect words to describe the stay. The apartment is so cosy and well-designed especially the bed at mezzanine level. The view of sea and valley with waves sound crashing on the shore is so relaxing (open the windows and the fresh breeze is so uplifting and refreshing). We met resident couple and it was so lovely taking to them and knowing more about the history of building and town. The owner ensures to personally welcome you or at least meet you during your stay. The main highlights of the stay:1. Walk to the town Aberystwyth by the beach and some really nice places to eat (as we are vegetarian so restaurant Medina is our favourite and their collection of books)2. Walk by the river and if the water level is not high then experience of swings on the river (stole my heart)3. Constitution funicular rail experience and the views of coast and town are breathtaking (enjoy nice meal at the cafe too)4. Vale of Rheidol steam train ride is worth the view and experience (two hoots cafe cakes are yum)5. Devil's Bridge Falls and walk - ensure to take long walk approx 45 - 60 minutes (keep in mind about steep steps and natural mountain trail) We're definitely going back to explore more of Wales and making our base at Plas Tanybwlch :)"

"What a beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. We arrived 3 hours early and they allowed us in. Cottage was spotless. I read the reviews before hand so was a bit worried but there were no problems at all. They were really welcoming. They spoke to us about what’s on in the area and where to go and as they own the Marina pub on the sea front too we were invited there with a discount for staying in their cottage the food was outstanding. We took our 2 pet dogs the garden was secure and Inclosed. And the whole place was pet friendly they enjoyed it too. After sight seeing it was nothing better to chill out in the hot tub and the summer house outside. We will be returning and I do recommend this cottage to anyone with pets, disabilities or a family get together. It’s very spacious. It even had a cleaning room with a washing machine and dryer so I was able to wash and dry everything before I went home. I’d give it a 5 star rating see you soon"

"The cottage itself was lovely, it was the touches that let it down. Cottage for 10 people with only 8 place settings at the dining table. Lamps with no bulbs. Not enough (any) baking trays. The bin was full when we arrived. The wi-fi doesn't work but that's because the phone line has been cut off. But the worst thing was the Customer Service, we had no hot water on arrival and had to call 3 times before an engineer was sent out. The next day we had to call again because it had stopped working and then had to call and call before an electrician was dispatched, he couldn't fix it so we had to stay in the next day for another one. In all of the phone calls that we made not once did we speak to the owner, always the Receptionist at the hotel.. and after all the trouble we had with the hot water not once did the owner call us to apologise for the inconvenience caused. She sent us a wi-fi dongle too, but it had no money on it....."
