  Beautiful & cosy cottage in a lovely village location, lovely aspect completely unoverlooked with beautiful open views to the rear of the property.

  Once you're inside you don't feel like you're in a terrace, the exterior walls (16" thick) and deep double glazing keeping out all noise from outside. Not that there was much as it's such a peaceful spot, but during our stay workmen arrived to carry out some maintenance on the electricity cables in the village and about 12 of them turned up in about 6 vehicles with a generator which was set up near the little green opposite the cottage, and we didn't hear a thing, we woke naturally and when I pulled the curtain back I couldn't believe all the activity. They were only there a day but it certainly put the soundproofing of the cottage to the test! This is one of the best & most thoughtfully equipped cottages we have ever stayed in, there wasn't anything we needed that wasn't provided - even tea & coffee and tin foil, cling film & kitchen roll. And there were even dog bowls & treats provided for your four-legged friend. Lovely & clean and a super bathroom with impressive shower - great water pressure too! The personal touches like lemon cake, wine & eggs from the owner's chickens were greatly appreciated. We didn't use the log burner in the end as the central heating was so efficient and we even had to turn several of the radiators down. Loved the charming & cosy decor and particularly loved the artisan rustic furniture, all very in keeping with the lovely character of the cottage. Very comfortable king size bed. Lovely dog walk straight from the door down a traffic free lane, all the way down to the river, but be warned, you have to climb back up! Newcastle Emlyn 10 mins drive away, lots of lovely shops including a butcher, an organic produce shop where we bought some artisan sourdough bread. The Cardigan Bay coastline is 30 mins drive away & we had a lovely coastal path walk to Tresaith. All in all, an excellently equipped, delightfully cosy cottage in a peaceful, get-away-from-it-all village setting but only 10 mins from 'civilization' and 30 mins to lovely beaches. Perfect for a couple or a couple with one child/teenager. Can't recommend highly enough. We will be back!

  The cottage was in an excellent location within walking distance of the main shops, restaurants and cafes which is fine if you haven't got a car as parking is a bit of an issue. However the parking is quite cheap (£8.50 for 24 hours) which was a 4-5 minute walk from the cottage. There is also free parking on some of the side roads after 6pm in the evenings and all day Sunday. The property had excellent facilities - everything we would expect to use in our short stay including a washing machine, hoover and cleaning products which were handy. The sofa can pull out to make a bed which is comfortable for movie nights however the TV is not a Smart tv so there is no Netflix for example but this matter can be solved if you bring your own laptop or tablet. It was also useful to have an extra freezer in the cupboard which was very useful for us.

  A beautiful cottage for 2 or 3 people.

  Very comfortable and well furnished. The main bedroom with its vaulted ceiling is a delight and a lot of thought has gone into the room lighting. The kitchen is well equipped with items such as electronic scales not usually found in holiday lets. The only small criticism was that the cooking utensils such as pans and bowls were sized for a larger group not a couple. The internet was very poor during my stay, worse than dial up, and I had no 3G phone connectivity. The owner says this is being addressed so hopefully others will have a better service. All in all a wonderful cottage with a delightful, helpful owner which I’d be happy to visit again.

  A lovely cottage and owner Jenny can not do enough for you always on hand if needed.

  Set in a hamlet, all facilities are in the town of Newcastle Emyln roughly 3 miles away, you can get all that is needed there. There are beautiful walks and drives out to many places including the coast is only 30minutes away. The cottage does make you sit back and catch your breath, quiet,very relaxing, and a lovely little private garden area at the back, also dog friendly and secure. The bed and pillows are extremely comfortable, the shower room is great with a lovely view to add! We can not complain about a single thing we have had a lovely holiday and would return here again, would highly recommend it to anyone. Kath

  We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Gabriels Place. The main order of the day was relaxing in front of the fire and we managed plenty of that. John is a most welcoming host and his suggestions in the guide book were great! We enjoyed Southwold, The Four Horseshoes and Wyken Vineyards. The walks available are beautiful and we went for the Orchid walk which was very pretty. John kindly suggested going to the village pumpkin event which meant we saw another area of the village at dusk which was lovely. The butchers is excellent and a drink at The Six Bells is an experience and so wonderfully dog friendly. Thank you!
