  My husband, dog and I loved staying here - it was so peaceful, a real getaway in a beautiful setting.

  We loved the converted barn, firstly it was bigger than what you’d expect from the photos which is a first. It was extremely clean, comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. The welcome gift of Welsh cakes, tea, coffee, butter and milk was lovely. The layout was great - the amazing views of the countryside can be seen from sitting having breakfast at the table, on the sofa watching the Euros or sitting up in bed. We loved watching the resident ducks, chickens and goose in their daily routines particularly the ducks and goose following each other down to the pond every morning for a swim. We kept our dog on a long lead which he was happy with as the one time we let him off he moved closer to where the sheep were in the field below the barn and barked which scared them - he was promptly put back on the lead. We had trips out to Cardigan, Poppit Sands and Cenarth Falls - ensure you have £3 in cash for parking at Cenarth Falls as it’s worth it for a short walk along the river and also the gift shop is really lovely as is the owner who was very chatty and friendly. We went to Poppit Sands on a Monday when it was almost deserted. It is beautiful - well worth a trip. As we were on a relaxing holiday we didn’t want to go any further than half an hour away so didn’t explore Pembroke which was a bit further afield. We spent several days at the cottage reading and soaking up the peaceful atmosphere. We bought all our supplies from Tesco in Cardigan and we have an EV so we paid the extra to charge it at the cottage which was very handy. Regarding earlier reviews, the owners are great and are on hand if you need them but leave you to your own devices. And also some previous reviews mentioned the track to the cottage - it is fine, just take it slow and no problem - the sensors go off due to folliage. Driving to the property there are single track roads through the village which are on an incline - again, take it slow and you’ll be fine like we were. It was our first holiday to Wales and we will definitely be back.

  Another lovely stay here.

  Location is stunning and the house is cosy. Furniture comfortable, especially the very comfortable bed. Unfortunately, there is definitely an air of neglect both inside the property and outside in the garden compared to our first few visits. A leaking window caused by lack of general maintenance was the biggest issue. The cleaning company lack attention to detail and, in my opinion, do the bare minimum, if that. The post pandemic earlier check out and later check in times seem unfair and unnecessary when the property isn't being cleaned properly anyway. As with all holiday accommodation the requirement (and my aim) is to leave a property clean at the end of a stay. Unfortunately, this is difficult with the very substandard equipment provided. None of these niggles affected our stay and we would happily book again as we love the area and the property is perfect for lovely walks from the house and just enjoying the view.

  If you are looking for a complete escape, then Blaenffynnon Bach is the place for you - quiet, remote but with every comfort of home.

  The cottage has been beautifully and sympathetically converted with plenty of room for a couple, well equipped with lots of storage. Bob and Rowena were lovely hosts - on hand if we had needed them but not intrusive in any way. They left us a lovely welcome basket of a small supply of tea and coffee, eggs and homemade Welsh cakes (the best we had!) and fresh milk and butter in the fridge. They also had a great selection of information about the area, various leaflets and a really handy AA map marked up with the barn's location in relation to various towns and places to visit - all very helpful indeed. Strong wi-fi signal in the property which was wonderful because as you can imagine in the Welsh hills and valleys, mobile reception isn't great! I wouldn't hesitate to revisit Blaenffynnon Bach! Thank you Bob and Rowena

  Wonderful cottage in a quiet rural location.

  Good off road parking, with easy access to all of North and Mid Wales. The cottage itself is warm, cosy and clean with a very comfortable bed and bath. The kitchen although small has everything you need for your holiday except a washing machine which was not a problem for us. We slept like logs all week with the windows open to take advantage of the peace and fresh night air. Amazing to hear the owl hooting in the night and we got a dawn chorus of birds outside the window. The owners and caretakers are very approachable and friendly who will sort any problems or queries really quickly but leave you to enjoy your holiday in peace. Even though it was a cottage which took dogs we did not find any evidence that a dog had previously been there. Can't wait to book again for next year.

  Overall a great little cottage, very comfortable, lovely location - really enjoyed our stay.

  We were lucky with the weather, and enjoyed walking up the hill to see the sunsets over the estuary. Not sure what the idea is about using the longer route up the hill to reach the property. We found the shorter route easier and with ample passing places! Only minus points: really aimed at the owner/managers, so don't be put off. On arrival, the kitchen floor felt "sticky" all over and took a good clean to get rid of it which also exposed that it was quite dirty! Secondly the bedroom carpet appeared to have only been partly vacuumed with fluff and ?mud on the far side of the bed. Finally - the grass in front needed a good cut - we were lucky it was dry weather for our stay - 'nuff said! .......But we would definitely come back - it's a lovely area too! Robin & Lesley.
