An excellently equipped holiday let, ideally located adjacent to the fabulous beach.Outstanding views from two of the bedrooms. We found the bed on the 3rd floor soooooo comfortable!!! with good quality bed linen.Ideally located opposite the cinema/restaurant and a pleasant walk to the well equipped Coop/Nisa store, a very short walk to the fish & chip shop In one direction and the cafe in the other.Only downside that might concern people is the lack of immediate car parking which is at a premium. Also given the different floor levels in the lounge & 1st floor bedroom would suggest some floor tape on the edge.

Ystwyth House exceeded our expectations- a beautiful house in an amazing location. We still miss waking up to the sights & sound of the sea. Diana was very accommodating to any requests we had prior to our stay & checked in on us during our holiday. Great way to celebrate my 60th birthday 🎂 with family. The day was made extra special when a dolphin came to visit in the bay. Will definitely be making a return visit, like many of the other guests before us. Lots to explore nearby & a short drive away. Enjoyed the walk along the beach at low tide to see the ancient forest especially as the sun was setting. Would happily recommend Ystwyth House to anyone looking for holiday accommodation that has it all. Will definitely be returning.

We have stayed at Ystwyth before. Diana is a great host and the house is perfectly situated on the beach. It is well equipped and a real home away from home. Many thanks
