What our customers say about their holidays

  The lodge is very modern, spacious and comfortable with a real homely feeling.

  As other guests have stated, with the lodge being situated literally at the top of the site, the views of the sea and surrounding hills and countryside are great, providing an almost panoramic view. If the walk uphill to the lodge doesn't keep you fit enough you can always use the on-site pool, situated near the on-site shop, restaurant and reception. There are TVs in each bedroom but as just the two of us, the one in lounge was enough. The owners, though on holiday themselves, took the trouble to email to make sure everything was ok for us and Molly their cleaner had left us a lovely welcoming note on our arrival. Borth seems to be a great place for families attracted by its extensive beach but we preferred to use it as a base to tour from, visiting lots of the other coastal villages up and down the coast line as well as some in-land attractions. New Quay with it's pretty harbour and Aberaeron with it's wonderfully painted Georgian houses. The RSPB reserve at Ynys-Hir is a wonderful day out if you like the outdoors and wildlife spotting, would just make sure to take your own provisions for lunch as their offering was limited and pricey. The university town of Aberystwyth with all the usual high street shops, supermarkets and restaurants, was another good day out. On the day we visited they had an artisan street market selling lots of locally produced goodies and a brass band to entertain you while shopping. The Butterfly Farm and the walks round the Rheidol Reservoir were also interesting places to visit. All in all great accommodation, lots to do and see in the area even when the weather wasn't at its best.

  We spent the week here just after lockdown - a much needed break!

  The cottage was beautiful and spotlessly clean. The kitchen is stocked well with just about every utensil you could need. We didn't fancy eating out in the current climate but made fabulous meals in the cottage. There's a Tesco not far away, and a large Morrisons in Wrexham so we were able to stock up for the week on arrival. The beds are comfy and rooms spacious enough with plenty of drawer and cupboard space. There's a few dvd's that you can watch, and there's even a landline phone in the cottage - mobile reception isn't that great, but there's wifi to connect to. There are still a lot of places closed due to the covid pandemic, but we found lots to do regardless. We spent a day at the Welsh Mountain Zoo which was fabulous (take a picnic as there's only one coffee shop open and not much choice for eating). We went to Llandudno for the day and took the cable cars on The Great Orme - amazing views! Watch out for the seagulls on the beautiful pier though - took the ice cream right out of my little boys hand!! We also spent a day at Talacre beach - really nice beach and the lighthouse is beautiful. We had a wonderful, relaxing week at Nant Yr Hendre, and did not want to leave! The hot tub was a hit with all of us and we used it every day at least once. There's a barbecue which we used when the weather was sunny, and there's so much space for the kids to play safely too. I would highly recommend this cottage and we hope to return next year :)

  A nice house in a spectacular situation, broadly well equipped -- although it would benefit from old and very low powered CFC light bulbs being replaced by more powerful LED bulbs throughout.

  Our holiday came close to being ruined by the sudden failure of the cooking gas supply in the middle of cooking a mid-week supper -- a failure which, it transpired, was due to this supply coming from a single propane cylinder which was clearly low when we arrived and soon became empty. After a rather fraught series of phone calls to the (distant) owner, the problem was solved by the eventual appearance of a charming young man (who turned out to be the owner's cousin) with a fresh cylinder in the back of his van. All's well that ends well, but I cannot for the life of me understand why the owners do not install the conventional arrangement for such systems, of having two cylinders and a changeover valve, with instructions to the tenant to effect a change to the reserve if and when the current cylinder runs out. A simple inspection at each changeover to order a new cylinder if required takes no time and would obviate the annoyance and disruption occasioned by cooking facilities going down unexpectedly.

  Property was lovely with a stunning view.

  Perfect spot to relax and unwind for a week. It's not the be all and end all for everyone but having two children with autism we needed WiFi, which was on the listing 'Free Wifi' however it didn't work well at all, so we've used very costly data and suffered a few meltdowns. I would also say the beds need renewal, the mattresses were very uncomfortable, and the pillows were flat. We also ended up with a couple of cold showers, I was caught out a few times covered in soap and the shower went freezing cold, it was not a nice experience so we ended up showering in shifts to give the tank enough time to refill/reheat. Everything else outstanding.

  What a perfect holiday, The cottage had everything one would need, home from home.

  The owners went above and beyond, always on hand if needed,Christmas tree, lemon cake and extra logs for the fire.
