  The ultimate retreat .

  .. a bit of countryside, a bit of coast, a bit of pretty village life. And an exquisite home-from-home that reminds you what life's for. Teresa and Nigel put every essential and every thoughtful touch into making Dragonfly Shepherd's Hut a little paradise. I've been to a lot of airbnbs all over the world, many with extensive floor plans and lists of amenities, but this one on our doorstep in Wales is by far the most personal experience that I feel genuinely changed by. While the Hut is small and rustic, it's immaculately designed an built with a full shower room, super-hot water, a fridge, cool-to7ch cooker, huge comfy bed and little luxuries I didn't get in the hotel I stayed in to break my journey on the way home. Marshmallows, forks, hot chocolate and wood for the fire pit. Bubbles and salts for the outdoor bath in which you can soak and watch the sun set over the lake. And a snack basket including local crisps, fruit fizz and Welsh cakes. Even my dog felt spoilt with his sagely enclosed garden to run around in, huge jar of treats, dog towel, blanket and bowl. I didn't bbq but it's all there, along with lots of garden furniture that turns the indoors out. Even a secure parking right at the gate. No overlooking houses. Privacy, serenity and lush green fields surround the lake - with a wooden bench to welcome an afternoon musing. Teresa called before our visit to answer my questions about what to pack (answer: not much!) And both she and Nigel checked in with us now and then to see if we needed anything. And if I might say, Sykes was more responsive, more caring and more helpful than airbnb has ever been - so I'm a fan now and have their app. I'll definitely be going back to the Dragonfly Shepherd's Hut... if I haven't just helped it get fully booked for all time. Though to be sure, much deserved praise!

  This quirky old holiday property is exactly what we were expecting.

  The negative reviews did Initially concern us before we arrived, however we weren’t disappointed once we arrived. There was lots and lots of room seating areas on different levels. The children had an abundance of boardgames on the upper level and a games room With pool table and table tennis table downstairs which they made full use of. The hot tub was never out of use with the five grandchildren and many hours of laughter. The hot tub was spotless, but over the week it did accumulate debris from the overhanging shrubs / leaves above the boundary fence naturally falling down. It was a lovely fully enclosed garden, which yes, could’ve done with a bit of tidy but due to bird nesting season, you have to be very careful what you’re cutting back at this time of year. The kitchen area was very bright with ample pots and pans for the larger parties. But we’re really comfortable and there’s lots of clean towels, but we did bring our own for the hot tub. We had three cars, there was ample parking and Jamie and his Team are really friendly and on hand if we needed help. The beaches are quite nearby and nuchal. It’s literally 20 minutes away excellent fish and chips. Thank you, Jamie and the team x

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rhyd y Fen, the owner was excellent in providing clear information via WhatsApp on how to find the property, where to park and even gave us an earlier arrival which we appreciated! I asked plenty of questions about the area and he gave lots of recommendations. The cottage itself was just lovely, you can feel how much love and care has gone into it and how proud the owners are, from restoring the property to what it is today, reading their journey was interesting. Enjoying the hot tub in the garden on a sunny day was bliss, the garden itself is a little oasis, and we enjoyed making use of the fresh herbs growing organically. The fire was super cosy on an evening and we felt we had so much space. The cottage was both cosy, spacious, light and airy. The welcome pack was so generous too, and unexpected! This felt like a gift upon arrival, especially the delicious cake and fresh eggs. Thank you so much for providing a much needed break away and time to switch off.

  We arrived in the dark so were very pleasantly surprised with the sea view and the livestock that we woke up to. The bungalow is perfectly situated to explore the west coast - a coast we had previously visited and wanted to explore further. The welcome goodies gratefully received and the facilities are excellent - even a whisk and some weighing scales for when our children wanted pancakes! We have been very lucky with the weather and have visited Mwnt, New Quay, Poppit Sands and Llangrannog - all of which I would recommend. Crabbing off Aberaeron Harbour and Cardigan Island Farm Park is a must if you have children (and even if you don't!) for sightings of seals and dolphins. The hot tub is a great feature - one that swung it for us when choosing where to stay. We would have no hesitation in staying again

  From the moment we stepped onto the property we felt a sense of peace.

  The Red Damsel Flies over the pond and the birds diving for food. Our greyhound loved the space for his zoomies, the little bird on the pond diving happily. The hut is immaculate and very well designed for comfort and relaxation. Unfortuantely the Welsh Weather did its best to annoy us but failed as we just chilled and read our books. Visited Cardigan and then Aberaeron for the compulsory holiday Fish & Chips. The barbeque is great and the outdoor bath is something to be experienced, so well built and positioned. Hosts were friendly and helpful but also leaving us to be alone, which is what we needed to recharge our batteries. Not having TV was a bonus. We will definitely be visiting again, our greyhound didnt want to leave once he settled. Thank you to all at DragonFly Hut. What a peaceful place.
