The cottage is in bad need of a lick of paint and some updating. The farmyard is quite neglected and the property is not within walkable distance to anywhere for food or drink. It is very close to New Quay and Abaraeron and so driveable.The owners seemed very nice and provided a lovely welcome pack, one of the best we have ever had. Books and jigsaws were provided in case of rainy days etc, even a notebook and pens for people to use, they even provided treats for the dog, with a towel and bowl. We love dogs and have one ourselves, but allowing lots of dogs to be in a very compact space is bound to impact on the cleanliness of the place and the damage they may cause. When we arrived on the Friday, we were told they had had no water the previous day. The water was on when we arrived but went off early on the Saturday and didn’t come back on again until just before bedtime. We got up on Sunday to no water at all, so we were unable to flush the toilet, have showers etc, it was on a trickle when we got back late afternoon until around 8pm and then it all went off again. The owners did provide us with bottled water, but this is not what you want while on holiday. It was not the owners fault but them having had issues before we arrived, we would have liked the option to cancel. Thankfully the water had been restored by Monday morning, without any further issues.
