Guests say
Maes Rheidol is a spacious cottage in a serene and scenic countryside location, just a short drive from Aberystwyth. Guests have enjoyed the peaceful setting, the well-equipped kitchen, and the added luxury of a hot tub. The property's potential is noted, with its large rooms and conservatory offering comfortable living spaces.
The cottage has received mixed feedback on cleanliness. Some guests found it clean, while others noted a need for a deep clean and mentioned issues such as mould, cobwebs, and dirty radiators.
The location is highly praised for its prime, peaceful setting surrounded by countryside, with the convenience of being within a 10-minute drive from Aberystwyth.
Guests have found the rooms spacious and the kitchen well-equipped. However, comfort is compromised by hard conservatory furniture, an uncomfortable mattress, and a squeaky bed.
The facilities have potential but require attention. Issues include broken blinds, a broken toilet seat, and problems with the showers and heating. The BBQ was appreciated, though tools for it were suggested.
While guests would have appreciated a welcome pack for a warm reception, there is no consistent mention of gifts or additional thoughtful touches to accurately assess this category.

Take a stately meandering train ride on what was once a working link between local lead mines and the harbour; the Vale of Rheidol Railway now runs a steam train service through the Rheidol Valley terminating at Devil’s Bridge. Here you can choose to go and see the three bridges over the river, or visit some of the other attractions such as the famous Mynach Falls, Devil’s Punch Bowl and Jacob’s Ladder.
When you have finished exploring, the cottage is within half a mile of a gastro pub. Come and stay at Maes Rheidol and immerse yourself in all that this part of Wales has to offer, you won’t be disappointed.

Lovely cottage, clean in very peaceful spot. Hot tub was great & ready to use on arrival. Would have appreciated a small welcome pack to have been able to make a cup of tea on arrival. Also anti slip mats for showers would be a good addition.

Cottage needs a deep clean. Radiators dirty the one in en-suite does not heat up. Toilet seat broke. Suite in conservatory needs replacing it is rock hard.All blinds broken and has mould on most. Mattress in main bed room needs replacing and single bed in the bedroom with double bed and single squeaks every time you move or sit on it.

On the plus side, The cottage is in a prime location surrounded by countryside. Within 10mns drive of Aberystwyth and in a very peaceful scenic location.The rooms are all very good size, including a large conservatory. Kitchen was very well equipped with many utensils. Plenty crockery.....However, a couple of things let this property down for us. We love a conservatory and would have spent much more time in it but the furniture are so uncomfortable that we couldn't. Settees were hard as a brick and just couldn't sit in them more than 15mns. This was a big disappointment to us. Also, no relaxing outdoor furniture. Just wooden table and benches. The only place that was comfortable to relax was the lounge, which is not ideal in summer. We also had problems with showers, with power as well as heat. The toilet seat was broken in the en suite, and the toilet roll holder was broken in the main bathroom. Carpets throughout the cottage could do with good shampoo as well.The wee bbq was great, and we used it a lot as we had brought wood. But it might be a good idea to provide bbq tools...So overall, the cottage itself has got fantastic potential as regards location and size, but it genuinely needs some rethink in relation to guests' comfort on holiday.
