Guests say
Glasfor is a cosy cottage praised for its secure garden, proximity to the beach and Welsh coastal path, and well-equipped kitchen. Guests appreciate the ground floor amenities, friendly locals, and the pleasant garden. Some concerns about cleanliness, dampness, and Wi-Fi connectivity were noted, but the overall experience is seen as positive, with many guests enjoying their stay and the local amenities.
Mixed reviews on cleanliness, with several guests finding the cottage unclean, dusty, and with a smell of damp and mould, while others did not report such issues. The presence of dog hair was also mentioned.
The location is highly praised for its quiet village setting, proximity to coastal paths, beaches, and local amenities. Some guests found it a bit remote, but overall the location is considered lovely.
Comfort received mixed feedback. Guests found beds comfortable and the cottage spacious, but some mentioned hard beds and a musty smell. The garden and secure environment were positives.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and generous logs for the fire. However, issues with hot water, parking, and the need for TLC and deep cleaning of ovens were noted.
While guests mentioned dog bowls and treats, there is insufficient information to determine if such thoughtfulness is consistent across all stays. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed and the score is set to null.

Glasfor, meaning The Blue Sea in Welsh, stands in the quaint coastal hamlet of Llansantffraed, a mixture of old white-washed cottages and seaside homes looked over by the ancient parish church, just less than ½ mile down the lane from the village of Llanon. The owners, who live across the lane, have lovingly created a charming holiday cottage for you to enjoy. Glasfor is a detached, single-storey cottage with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The modern, country-style breakfast kitchen has plenty of room, and the separate spacious dual-aspect beamed living/dining room has patio doors leading out into the enclosed cottage garden, ideal for children or pets to play. There’s a cosy wood burner for you to cuddle up in front of, making the cottage ideal for winter breaks too! The separate snug gives you the space to sit back and relax whilst listening to music or reading a book.
A short stroll will bring you to the coast where you will have plenty of choice as there are beaches all along Cardigan Bay, and many which allow pets all year round too. The village of Llanon has a pub, fish and chip shop, convenience store and butcher, so you will be able to get all your day to day needs. Just 11 miles north will bring you to the Victorian and university seaside town of Aberystwyth, where you will find a promenade and pier. Take a trip on the longest electric cliff railway in the UK to the top of Constitution Hill and take in the most amazing views over coffee and cake. Or, why not catch a steam train on the Vale of Rheidol Railway to Devil’s Bridge and waterfall, travelling through verdant countryside along the way? Travel 5 miles south of Llanon where you can visit the colourful Georgian harbour town of Aberaeron. There’s a good selection of independent shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants and lots of events featured throughout the year. A little further along will bring you to New Quay, where the houses cling to the rocks above the bay and dolphins can often be seen. Ceredigion is full of inspiration for a holiday whether you want to take in the wilderness of the Cambrian Mountains or enjoy the sparkling beaches and pretty coves, or even walk along the 60 miles of coastal pathway. Beach 100 yards. Shop 500 yards, pub and restaurant ½ mile.

An absolute gem of a cottage, photos dont do it justice. We took mum, so needed ground floor amenities, which was perfect being all on one floor. We also took our dog, lovely secure garden, dog bowls and treats provided. Close to Welsh coastal path and beach. A good distance to lovely Aberaeron.
