Our tenth stay in this magical place.
By Simon and Lucy on 30-May-2026Our tenth stay in this magical place. We absolutely love it here and have had a wonderful week. The weather has been incredible, so we have been out on the field playing every day and had plenty of barbecues! So lovely to see the animals in the surrounding fields too – Lily’s made friends with the cows. Looking forward to our next visit in August already! Simon, Lucy, Lily(4) and Tommy (1) and Louie and Sky the black Labradors. May 2026
Another lovely stay in this peaceful setting
By Julie and Peter on 21-Mar-2026Another lovely stay in this peaceful setting. Always a warm welcome and everything here for a wonderful stay. Millie enjoyed the garden and we enjoyed watching/listening to the birds. We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed seeing the stars at night. Julie, Peter and Millie. March 2026
Our 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! Clair, Niall & Matt – Fern & Buster 1st – 9th November 2025Y
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
