Guests say
Magnolia Cottage is a spacious and well-located property, ideal for large families or groups seeking easy access to Aberaeron and the coast. Guests consistently praise its generous rooms, ample parking, and excellent communal spaces, especially the kitchen and garden. While the cottage offers good value and a homely atmosphere, several reviews note that some areas would benefit from a deep clean and general updating. Despite minor maintenance issues, most guests enjoyed their stay and appreciated the property's convenience and charm.
Cleanliness is a recurring concern, with multiple guests mentioning dusty areas, dirty kitchen utensils, and bathrooms needing attention. Some found the property clean and comfortable, but several reviews highlight the need for a deep clean and better upkeep, particularly in the kitchen and windows.
The location is highly praised, with guests loving the proximity to Aberaeron town centre, the beach, and local amenities. The setting is described as quiet yet convenient, making it a standout feature of the property.
Most guests found the cottage spacious and comfortable, with good beds and quality linen noted in several reviews. However, a few mentioned uncomfortable mattresses and sofas, and some maintenance issues affected comfort for certain guests.
Facilities are generally good for large groups, with ample space, parking, and useful appliances. However, guests report issues with the oven, kitchen utensils, and some maintenance (e.g., wobbly bannister, leaking taps). The property is well-equipped but would benefit from updates and repairs.
There are no mentions of welcome gifts or hampers, and several guests noted the absence of basics such as salt, pepper, dishwasher tablets, and house instructions. While communication was clear, the lack of thoughtful extras was noted. Please note that gifts or welcome packs are not guaranteed.

Would have given excellent ratings but for not having a stair gate fitted when we had young children. Could of done with some essentials ie salt and pepper

An excellent house for a large family with a large variety of ages. The village is beautiful and the surrounding area is brilliant for exploring. Will definitely look at booking again. The only minor downside was the strange lack of tea spoons, considering the rest of the cutlery catered perfectly for a family of 12.
