Elaine and Gill were the friendliest and most helpful hosts you would possibly have.. Cottage was spotless and very comfortable. Lovely area and lots to enjoy locally. Close to the coast too. Highly recommended.

We felt completely safe at the cottage.. Elaine and Glenn were as usual excellent hosts. The Cwtch is a beautiful retreat for anyone looking for a quiet time in rural Wales at this difficult period of our lives.

Lovely cottage to stay at and explore cardigan bay.. The cottage felt very homely and the hosts were amazing.

Miss Fragola, February 2020

A very warm welcome from the owners of this property who were not at all intrusive but on hand if required, in fact when we left we felt as though we were old friends of long standing.. The cottage was warm , comfortable and well equipped for us and our two dogs. We have no hesitation in recommending Y Cwtch.

Elaine and Glenn were the most welcoming hosts,providing us with lots of info and advice of the local area, or just having a chit chat on a daily basis.. They were brilliant with our girls, letting them help feed the goats, and walk them too. The cottage was perfect, and really cosy for the four of us, with our dogs too, and has all you need to relax each evening after a busy day exploring the Welsh Coast. There was even a welcome addition of some home-baked cakes on our arrival which were delish. Y Cwtch is in a perfect location 25miles from Cardigan and Aberystwyth by car and 15 miles from New Quay, with plenty of other National Trust attractions near by, such as Dolaucothi Gold Mines, and Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forest Visitor Centre, near Aberystwyth is well worth a visit to see the hundreds of red kites feed. Thanks Elaine and Glenn, you and the goats were fab.

Mr Footitt, August 2019

A really beautiful cottage in a really beautiful location! No to far away from some of the best beaches and views! The owners are so freindly and helpful, and make your stay so special! The goats are a added bonus, we all enjoyed their company! A fantastic holiday!

Mr Bailey, July 2019

Elaine and Glen made this cottage feel like a home from home.. We were welcomed with home made cakes and milk to make a brew after our journey to get there. They gave us lots of information on places to see and things to do. The dogs loved the freedom of the garden, and they let them use one of their fields to exercise them too. The cottage was lovely and all we had to get was food, everything else was supplied. Would highly recommend this cottage in its peaceful location.

Mrs Adamson, June 2019

A lovely cottage in a very peaceful setting in the heart of the welsh countryside.. Truly a place to 'get away from it all' and have some time to relax. Elaine and Glenn are lovely people who have created an amazing smallholding and unique way of life. They were so welcoming and nothing is too much trouble for them if you require assistance or advice about the local area. They are always available if you need them but they never intrude. They welcome you to share their garden if you choose but they have also created an idyllic private garden for guests with quality garden furniture and a barbeque. Elaine's homemade cakes greet you on arrival and they are truly sublime ! As well as being suitable for couples and small families, I would highly recommend Y Cwtch for the solo traveller. If you want some time to yourself, this is the perfect spot. It's so quiet and well away from the crowds but with the security of having Elaine and Glenn nearby if needed.

Ms Manning, June 2019

Great location near to all local towns and lovely coastal ports and fabulous host Elaine and Glenn.. Realky made our stay special the property had everything we needed and more. Private garden for us and our little dog and access to owners fields. Spotlessly clean and beautiful cakes on arrival. Will definitely stay again and recommend to family and friends.

The owners were so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble.. The cottage itself was beautiful and had everything we needed in it. It was the first time we had been away with the dogs and our little girl and I was worried about whether it would be safe for all of them but we could not have asked for anything better. The owners gave us lovely suggestions of walks we could do with the dogs and of a run that my partner could do. The garden was perfect for the dogs to go in and was still safe enough for our little girl to move around in as well. The cottage was so clean and there was an extra bonus of milk in the fridge and a cake on arrival. The extra entertainment of the owners sheep and goats was an added bonus for all of us. We all had such a lovely time exploring all the local area where there is so much to do without having to go very far at all.

Mrs Stokes, June 2019

Such a quiet quaint cottage in the middle of nowhere.. Loved not hearing cars go past and only the sounds of the countryside and nature. No noise or light pollution. Nice to see the stars again. Would recommend to anyone who wants to get away from civilisation for a bit. Elaine and Glenn were perfect hosts. Thanks for the welcome cake too. We all loved them.

Cottage was much bigger than it looks.. Great place for dogs. All garden completely enclosed. VERY friendly hosts. A delicious plate of cakes on arrival and milk in the fridge. An incredibly peaceful location. We spent time just sitting in the garden. It should be a five star rating.

Very comfortable and well equipped cottage, in a beautiful setting.. From the welcome package, including cakes, to the friendly hosts, couldn’t have wanted more.

Mr Bland

We booked this holiday as part of a two week break to Wales and this was our first time to South West Wales.. We were looking for restful "get away from it all" break and this cottage delivered in spades. The peace & quiet plus the stunning scenery was really enjoyable and our hosts who live on site next door, Elaine & Glen were super helpful and friendly from the warm initial welcome & home made goodies to the bag of home grown veggies from the garden. The cottage is up a narrow country lane that forms a circular route that we found a great running route (4 miles hilly !). The cottage has everything you would want and has the bonus of almost zero mobile phone signal (Sky & O2) and patchy WiFi so don't come here expecting to run your internet business ! 4G signal is ok in surrounding area if you must ! The cottage is situated approx 15 miles from the coast ( nearest Newquay & Aberearon) with stunning beaches and coastal scenery / walking within easy reach. Don't expect to achieve motorway speeds on these roads, nothing is straight & lots of it is narrow plus the place names will leave you thinking you have dropped the Scrabble letter bag & lost all the vowels ! Our fave places were Cardigan, the Teifi Estuary, especially Dogmael & Poppit Sands, Newport ( between Cardigan and Fishguard) all easily reached within 45mins drive. Nearest supermarkets are Sainsbury ( Lampeter), Tesco (Fuel & Food) & Aldi ( Cardigan). We had the best of times here and can't recommend it enough if you are looking for a restful break in glorious countryside with stunning night skies & silence you can hear - and its very dog friendly. Thanks to Elaine & Glen for a great week :)

The property exceeded our expectations and I don't think the description does it justice.. It was far more spacious than we had thought it would be. The welcome and kindness of Elaine and Glen was outstanding.
