Guests say
The Mill in Tregaron is a beautifully renovated cottage praised for its peaceful and private location, cosy atmosphere, and scenic surroundings. Guests enjoyed the wildlife, walks, and the wood burning stove, making it a perfect retreat for relaxation and exploring the Cambrian Mountains.
Most guests found the cottage clean and comfortable, with fresh flowers adding a nice touch. However, some noted it could benefit from a more thorough cleaning and better maintenance of cleaning tools.
The cottage's location is highly appreciated for its tranquility, privacy, and proximity to local amenities and natural beauty, making it an ideal base for walking and exploring the Welsh countryside.
Guests found the cottage to be cosy with comfortable beds and sofas, though some mentioned the main double bed was a bit small. The presence of a wood burner contributed to the overall comfort.
The Mill is well-equipped with a kitchen, bath, and TV, but guests reported issues with water pressure, Wi-Fi, and minor maintenance needs. The wood burner and kitchen equipment were highlights.
While guests appreciated the fresh flowers, there is insufficient information to assess the consistency of thoughtful gestures such as gifts, and therefore a score cannot be provided.

The Cambrian Mountains are one of the few remote areas left in southern Britain, and Tregaron lies close to this open wilderness. Although there are only a few roadways across the mountains they are acknowledged as some of the most scenic routes in Britain, where walkers and cyclists can revel in the peaceful solitude.
Historic Tregaron is a ’Walkers are Welcome’ town, and the annual Walking Festival held in May is a firm favourite on the events calendar. Competitors and visitors come from all over the UK and Ireland for the annual horse trotting and carriage racing too. It is also the home to the Welsh Gold Centre, selling Celtic inspired designs.
The town is small and full of independent shops, and on the square you can find an award winning pub/restaurant, as well as a wood carving depicting Twm Siôn Cati, the legendary 17th-century ‘Robin Hood of Wales’ who is said to have used his wit and bravery to outsmart gentry and crooks alike.
Cors Caron, or ‘Tregaron Bog’ as it is also known, is the largest raised bog in Britain and lies just outside the town. It is a peat bog of international importance and a nature reserve since 1955. It provides a habitat to very rare flora and fauna and is fantastic for wildlife spotting, including buzzards, peregrine falcons, harriers and iconic red kites.
The beautiful Ceredigion coastline can be reached within a 30-minute drive and offers lovely beaches (many dog friendly year round), and interesting towns and villages to visit. The university town of Aberystwyth has an historic castle, promenade and pier, plus it is home to one of Wales’ most picturesque steam train journeys through the valley over to Devil’s Bridge. Georgian harbour town Aberaeron, and the quaint fishing town of New Quay are also great places to visit for restaurants, shops, boat rides and dolphin spotting. Beach 13 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 2 miles.

My wife and I were most disappointed with our weekend stay in this cottage. When we arrived it was extremely cold and it seems that the underfloor heating was not working, The wood burner had not been adequately cleaned out and there was no receptacle in which to place the ashes. It was evident also that the skylight in the roof leaked when it rained as there were basins positioned at strategic points around the staircase where water had previously penetrated the building. We found certain of the cooking utensils had not been properly cleaned and we scrubbed certain of them before use. As heavy rain was predicted for the last day of our weekend stay we decided to leave the property a day early.
