  Arriving to an absolutley freezing accommodation after a 4.

  5 HR drive was certainly not welcoming. It took ages( hours in fact) for the pod to warm up and made the first impression not that great. At 2.30pm maybe just start to heat it up, I get not heating all day but for an hour before you arrive would have made a big difference. The pod is stunning looking and the view was beautiful, however I feel a few tweaks would make it fantastic all year round. Kitchen/ sitting area The big glass door was really hard to open, very hard to slide at the start for my husband, so possibly needs looking at. We didn't use the hot tub so can't comment on that. I loved the huge selection of coffee & teas which was a nice touch and ample recycling bins. There was no where to put our food apart from fridge items, no shelf and limited space on the sides. A little shelf above the bins would work and move the picture above the sofa to look at would improve the blank wall as well. I found the heater quite tricky to use - turn on and temp up down did not really work how it should. It's almost delayed in action so better instructons would be helpful. This area has no blind, so the morning light does come in. Bedroom Sitting on the chairs was nice but a little table to place a drink would be fab as it would make that better than reaching the the floor for drinks. Most TV channels didn't work ( we tried a few times) just kept saying no signal but thankfully the TV had Netflix so we watched that. Raising the blind in the morning to look out on to the lake was a highlight of this trip. The bed/ mattress was soft but the divets in it were uncomfortable to us. The pillows were also soft but I guess this a preference thing. Bedside tables were rustic and charming but I could only just fit my phone on it with a glass for bed. Bathroom The toilet door was clunky and creaky and banged shut, the toilet has a constant trickle and this was annoying at night and the toilet area never got warm in all our time there. Free robes and slippers were a nice touch. What I loved Ample coffees, privacy, peace, birds, llamas, the view and relaxing. This feels like a summer house and so in winter gives a very different holiday, I'd love to come in summer as I think sitting outside enjoying summer days and nights would be completely different. A beautiful pod with some great features. We were worried that staying in the lake view might mean other people walking round but no one bothered us and the view was beautiful ❤️ I would return here as all my gripes are minor things and didn't ruin our stay in any way.

  Ill start by saying even with the the best of stays i never write reviews however i booked this accommodation as a late birthday / anniversary surprise.

  The photos before going looked great and fitted in well with our requirements as I always book similar accomodation. Most weekends away start and finish the same way, great to be away but can't wait to be home. However I can't remember ever feeling so relaxed coming home and looking forward to booking again. The location is perfect, so tranquil. Aberaeron was only 15 minutes away and was a great afternoon out with a fab lunch at The Hive We did visit the local pub, The Llanina Arms on the second day which was nice and may be walkable in the summer. With only 2 accommodation types on site we had the quiet and privacy we wanted. The Rusty Boathouse was spotless with all amenities we would want and need. Coffee maker with coffees and tea. Snacks of crisps and waffles. Fully equipped kitchen with all extras (didn't need to use my own cleaning products, foil, kitchen roll). The bed was amazingly comfy and the shower and washroom area didn't disappoint. The quality finish of this accommodation was perfect. Wifi was available and we had no issues with the signal at all, fully connected at all times. Whilst there was a portable heater and a wall mounted heater/ air conditioning unit available in the kitchen/ lounge are we had no reason to use this. The heater in the bedroom was powerful enough to heat the whole unit. We did need to turn it off half way though the evening as even though it was 1 degree outside the accommodation retained heat. The outside area was amazing and so relaxing. Spent a few hours in the tub watching the resident ducks and cat. I would not hesitate to stay again. If quality, relaxing time is what you need then this is the perfect stay. Totally outstanding and it takes a lot to impress me enough to write a review.

  We had a lovely time and were surprised at the huge size of the upstairs bedroom and bathroom. Having a full size walk-in "rain" shower that I (6ft 3in) could fit under easily was great. We wanted a small cottage with a log burnder, which felt isolated with nobody around, and got exactly that. It was still close enough to town to get food/supplies easily. The internet connection was terrible (no bandwidth and huge network jitter and packet loss), but I was told this is going to be fixed soon. I resolved the issue by going into town and getting a 4g dongle device with O2 that got me a very consistnt/stable 10 megabit connection when I left it in the corner by the front door. My partner was getting 30 megabit with O2 on her phone inside the building but we didnt want to use up her limited data. I was getting hardly anything with EE on my phone, but that may be because I have a cheap phone. Suffice to say, *if* the internet is still not fixed, I would recommend bringing/getting a 4g dongle if you need any sort of internet access. It is worth noting that the CCTV is only on the outside of the building and not inside so you shouldn't need to worry about privacy concerns. We will very likely come again, and have already recommended it to our friends/family.

  Absolute bliss in beautiful surroundings!

  Just returned from a 7 night stay at The Rusty Boathouse. Absolutely beautiful accommodation, modern decor and everything you would need for a lovely stay. The hot tub was amazing, fire pit fabulous and lovely outside recliner chairs to relax in. The Boathouse has all modern features, electric blinds, air con for both hot and cold heating, TV, superb internet connection, comfy bed, fabulous power shower and complimentary robes and slippers. Nice touches on arrival, snacks, range of teas and coffees and espresso coffee machine. There wasn’t anything missing. Lovely comfy sofa, bar stools, micro, toaster and more. The scenery is stunning. The sound of the birds, the ripples on the pond and the adorable alpacas in the nearby field. Fabulous, welcoming hosts who were nearby for any issues but who also left you to complete privacy. If you want to relax, de-stress and chill this is the place to be! Nearby shop and pub and lovely farm shop and bistro nearby. This is really a countryside treat, you will not be disappointed. If we could give it 6 out of 5 we would. The owners have done a fab job on this site and we wish them all the best for the future. Well done and thank you for an amazing stay!

  Absolutely PERFECT!

  Did not disappoint, from comfort, cleanliness, stylish, privacy, romantic, relaxing & just beautiful. Probably our favourite place we've ever had a short stay, we actually didn't want to leave! Friendly helpful owners (sydd yn siarad cymraeg) & complementary snacks on arrival. Kitchen had everything we needed (not that we chose to cook) but all essentials were covered, the only thing extra we could have done with were some plastic tumblers to use outside. I also need to comment on the hot tub, my husband and I both commented on how it wasn't full of chemicals that made your skin smell of chlorine or itch. It was absolute bliss, clean and the perfect temperature. We missed out on a cozy night around the fire pit (by choice) as the winds were up & we didn't want ash blowing all around the grounds through the night. One thing we thought may have benefited the outdoor seating area was a table, it would have been nice to enjoy breakfast outside or just to relax with a book & a drink by your side - I say book but I definitely wouldn't have read a thing because I couldn't take my eyes off the amazing wildlife! Book The Rusty Boathouse, you won't be disappointed! Can't wait to come back :-)
