The cottages are a little off the beaten track, but nevertheless very much worth it when you get there. The Hosts were very friendly and generous with 4 eggs and Welsh cakes. Tim showed us around the small holding they have where you you will see pygmy goats, lamas and donkeys, not forgetting the chickens that run freely Thank you also to Tim's father-in-law who gave us some fresh cherry tomatoes straight from his greenhouse. The weather was amazing and the 4 day break was just the job!.

We had a lovely stay here at Hen Llaeth with our border terrier. A lovely warm welcome on arrival and a welcome pack too. The setting is amazing. The holiday home is a little gem. Lovely and clean and very homely with an enclosed back garden. Out the back gate is a small wooded area and field which is ideal for taking the dog first and last walk. To the left side of the garden we could see the alpacas,donkeys shetland ponies and sheep in the fields. If you love nature and a tranquil retreat this is the place for you. The coast is a short distance by car and we saw the harbour porpoises in New Quay bay. We took a picnic lunch out both days and called at lots of different coastal places many to choose from. We are hoping to return soon.
