The place was clean and comfortable and had everything we would need for the week. The hot tub is wonderful with the added touch of the beautiful scenery in the backdrop. It's set in a perfect location for travelling around with plenty of shops just a short drive away. The owners are so friendly and helpful and are always around if you need anything. This is definitely one of our favourite places to stay now and will most certainly return again soon

The cottage was clean and well equipped. The hot tub was a fantastic addition and we loved sitting in it looking at the stars. We cooked most nights and had everything we needed to cook and serve meals. The washer and drier in the games room was a great addition, especially when travelling with children. The host Mr Davies was really lovely and approachable should we need anything. We did lots of exploring of the local area and visiting beaches to hunt for sea glass. We were able to make the most of our National Trust membership which was great. The location is fantastic.

Spotlessly clean. Welcoming owners. Kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. Great enclosed garden for the dogs. Hot tub perfect temperature and very clean. Short drive to Aberaeron and located well to explore the area. We really enjoyed out stay and would recommend the Stable.
