  Overall the cottage was cosy and had everything needed for a good stay.

  The only reason I haven't given maximum marks is for the following reasons: I haven't stayed at a property yet where the owners do much about keeping it dry from damp. I noticed around the windows had been washed to get some mildew/mould off, but not with mould killer. Around the front door was particularly bad. The front door lets in water underneath when its raining hard which probably adds to the problem. The front door surrounding wall had black mould on it, although not thick. Its just a concern because we both have respiratory problems and had only just recovered from flu before coming. We ran the heating whenever we were in and it helped dry it out a bit and the damp smell to diminish. Also, the underfloor heating that was advertised was switched off at the fusebox and had no remote left to operate it anyway or the flooring thermostat was not set. We could have done with this running as the central heating struggled a bit when the temperature dropped a couple of times. We liked the fact the kitchen was well equipped and the shower nice and hot. One point about the bathroom. It is very easy to burn yourself on the towel rail due to the confines of the bathroom. No major complaints , just the things above, if they were dealt with I would have given a higher score. I understand the climate there and what the cottages are like, I used to live just down the road in Machynlleth. But being an asthmatic, i really would have liked the damp dealt with in advance of arrival. Thanks.

  The cottage was lovely and in an ideal spot and we were welcomed with a lovely welcome pack which was much appreciated.

  First impressions were that the cottage was lovely and clean, nice towels and bed linen. The bed was very comfortable. In the kitchen there was every appliance/utensil wise that we needed. The sandwich maker was very marked so we didn't use that. There was an odour in the kitchen, around the oven area that wasn't particularly nice, we couldn't ascertain what it was it where it came from. We had a fly infestation up in the small landing toilet so maybe a supply of fly spray would have been handy, even though I hate using spray it would have been useful on this occasion. Luckily we had kept the door shut so they were mainly confined to that room although somehow they did make they way into the bathroom next to it. The water from the shower in the bath was very slow draining and when I checked on the last day as I was cleaning the bath I saw that the slow drainage was due to a clogged up plughole. This might be worth checking now and again to ensure water drains freely. The patio outside was lovely, had the sun and the sound of the running stream and birdsong was just idyllic, very restful. We were visited by several species of birds on the bird feeder including a regular woodpecker. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

  What a fabulous place, everything we could have wished for! Stunningly clean well furnished and a fully equipped kitchen - thank you! We have a 2 year old so bare with the recommendations. Dolphin watching at New Quay - we took a boat trip and the guide was very knowledgeable, saw more dolphins from the shore that day but still we loved it! Leisure centre for swimming (toddler session but also they have a large water slide) - Machynlleth. Also by the leisure centre in Machynlleth is a great park, walks, gardens and cafes. Aberystwyth - the castle and castle park and the great park just off the southgate round about by the community centre. Aberdyfi beach, well worth the short drive, great sandy beach, toilets near and fish and chips. We really recommend Ynyslas and Borth for lovely views and walks. Thanks for a perfect stay!

  Tanrallt is a lovely little property in a small village in Corris - Phil the owner is really helpful and can not do enough to make your stay welcoming and comfortable.

  The only reason we have marked it slightly down is we found the property to have a damp feeling whilst we were staying there. This is probably due to the location of the village (in a valley) and the fact that there is a steep slope at the back of the property with constant running water. This combined with the age of the property probably caused the damp feeling. The kitchen window unfortunately has a lot of brambles very close to it stopping any view - I'm sure this is something Phil will be tackling. The neighbours and villagers where all really helpful and friendly. There is a beautiful river running close to the property which is just a 5 minute walk away. Wales is full of beautiful walks and scenery. The coast is also only a 30 minute drive away so you have the best of all worlds staying at this property.

  We had an amazing stay at Arnant and would love to return.

  The house is absolutely beautiful and full of natural light with lots of attention to detail. The layout is fantastic and the soft furnishings luxurious and it’s obvious from the moment you enter that lots of thought has been given to ensuring the perfect stay for guests. The owner is really friendly and lives close by and popped over to say hi and to check all was well for us. The welcome treats were also really appreciated! The view from the master bedroom balcony is stunning and a lovely place to sit for breakfast or with a cocktail in the evening. Location is perfect, far enough out to be peaceful and tranquil but close enough to the centre to be able to walk to the shops and beach. Highly recommend this property and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thank you!
