Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests describing it as well-maintained and prepared. One isolated comment about the toilet seat suggests a minor issue, but overall, the reviews indicate a very clean environment.
The location is celebrated for its tranquillity and proximity to local attractions, including beaches and coastal walks. The views of the mountains and the remote setting contribute to a serene experience, although one review suggests that the remoteness might not suit everyone.
Comfort is a strong point for Carreg Rhys, with guests finding the cottage cosy and the bedding of high quality. The presence of a hot tub adds to the comfort factor. However, a few guests noted the lack of a shower and difficulty with bath access, slightly affecting the score.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the kitchen being well-equipped and the garden ideal for dogs. The hot tub is a popular feature. Criticisms include the absence of a shower and some minor maintenance issues like a toilet seat needing replacement, which suggests room for improvement.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is frequently mentioned, with welcome hampers and personal touches that enhance the stay. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, it is politely noted that such gifts, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

It's a beautiful place with many places to visit nearby. The cottage was lovely we didn't want to come home. We will be booking again soon.

The bed was very comfortable and the quilt warm with plenty of pillows and cushions. We found the shower in the roll-top bath good but it was difficult to prevent water from going onto the floor. The loo leaked at the back occasionallly when flushed. This could no doubt be rectified with an adjustment to the pipe from the tank. Overall we would definitely recommend this property.

After a very long journey the hot tub was very welcome and I donât usually like them ! Fiona was a very kind and welcoming host and went above and beyond with her warm hospitality. The house was in a beautiful setting and our dog loved it too.
