Leave ReviewOur first visit
By Clair, Niall & Matt on 09-Nov-2025Our first visit, we came to find peace and quiet away from the fireworks for our reactive dog and what a peaceful haven it is, beautiful cottage and what a welcome hamper! Everything is so well thought out, the sofas and beds are so comfortable. The dogs loved the garden. I even enjoyed washing up at the kitchen window with all the lovely birds, we were often visited by woody woodpecker and lots of red kites too. We saw dolphins in New Quay and the starling murmuration at Aberystwyth -, amazing! Paul was a perfect host and even pulled us out when we got stuck in mud! Thanks Paul. We will definitely be back!

My 9th visit in 5 years
By Kathy on 18-Oct-2025My 9th visit in 5 years, I think? Always a joy and feels like home. Always love the birds and relaxing. Thank you so much for my “gluten” free goodies – very welcome. See you in the new year for my March/April visit – buddy & Katie always reluctant to leave, as I am. Thanks all xxx Kathy, Buddy & Katie 11th – 18th October 2025
Blown away as soon as we arrived!
By Naolmi & Darren on 09-Oct-2025Blown away as soon as we arrived! Firstly, with the large lawn area which was so much bigger than expected! We absolutely loved it for our three cocker spaniels! Secondly, the welcome pack! My goodness, I’ve never seen one so good! Fresh bread, veg, cake and even a large selection of treats for our dogs! We spent mornings relaxing with a coffee watching all the different birds on the feeder, the dogs running outside, it was pure relaxation! By day two we already said we will be coming back next summer. I can’t wait to experience this place in the summer months. Having a large fully enclosed garden which is extremely hard to find has been the highlight for us! Until next time, it was great to meet you both Paul & Di.

Thank you once again Paul & family for our 10th year
By Karen and Dave on 20-Sep-2025Thank you once again Paul & family for our 10th year of staying in your beautiful cottage. We never tire of the beautiful views & watching the forever busy bird table. We managed to dodge the showers and enjoyed a couple of very wet days in the cottage. We had everything we needed so it’s been so very relaxing. Thank you. Dave Karen and Rambo. 13th – 20th September 2025
Wow! The cottage has everything we needed and more.
By Maria & Tony on 13-Sep-2025Wow! The cottage has everything we needed and more. The welcome pack was just marvellous, the best we’ve ever seen in 25 years. Absolutely perfect for the dogs who, loved playing on the lawned area. We do struggle to get a decent sized garden when holidaying. Everything has been just perfect. The scenery is stunning, and Paul – what a lovely, lovely man. Thank you very much, we are leaving very happy, xxx P.S. Hope your knees are better soon. Maria, Tony + Mia, Joe and Molly 6th – 13th September 2025
We really could not have asked for more
By Andy & Sonia on 30-Aug-2025We really could not have asked for more during our 2 week stay. One of our dogs is reactive and finding a suitable place to stay is often challenging and not as relaxing as we would want it to be, however, the secure field here meant we could chill on the decking whilst the dogs took themselves for walk! There is literally everything here that you would need for your stay. The beds are luxurious and the bathrooms are of the highest standard. Overall, this is a fantastic place to relax (for both humans and dogs) and serves as the perfect base to explore the beautiful surrounding area. Good job, Paul and Diana! Andy, Sonia + dogs Tempah & Buddy 16th – 30th August 2025
