Stayed there a few times. Perfect accommodation for a couple and also good if you have a dog. Mark and Pippa are excellent hosts. You can also enjoy having a look at the various animals- a herd of alpacas, mini Shetland ponies and a couple of grown up horses. There are also three donkeys Jacko, Coco and Jill who rules the roost. The location is ideally placed for seaside resorts of Tresaith, Aberporth and Llangranog. The town of Cardigan is just seven miles away. Lots to do around the area. Go on book away you know it makes sense

A warm and memorable stay. We were greeted by the owners with genuine hospitality, including a delightful tour of the farm where we met the donkeys, Shetland ponies with their newly born foals, and the alpacas.The cottage was beautifully presented and thoughtfully equipped, making our stay extremely comfortable. We especially enjoyed the fabulous sunsets from the enclosed private garden, which offered complete peace and privacy.The location was ideal for exploring the stunning coastline and the surrounding countryside. We would thoroughly recommend this wonderful place.
