Guests say
Bari is a well-received holiday cottage praised for its excellent location near the sea and town, comfortable beds, and well-equipped kitchen. Guests appreciate the warm and inviting atmosphere, with some enjoying multiple stays. The property's cleanliness and maintenance have been noted, with suggestions for improvements. Thoughtful touches like welcome packs have been mentioned, adding to the pleasant experience.
The property generally appears to be clean, with several guests noting it as spotless and well-maintained. However, there are remarks about the need for deeper cleaning in certain areas, such as the living room due to pet odours, and the presence of mould in bathrooms. These issues suggest room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the sea, harbour, and town centre, making it an ideal base for exploring Aberaeron. Despite some concerns about parking, the convenience and charm of the location are consistently appreciated by guests.
Guests find the property comfortable, with special mentions of the cosy living room and comfortable beds. However, there are comments about the need for better mattresses in some rooms and issues with bed linen fitting properly, which slightly detract from the overall comfort.
The cottage is well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, and guests are pleased with the amenities provided. Nonetheless, there are reports of maintenance issues such as non-working lights and a need for updates in the bathrooms. These factors have led to a slightly lower score.
While some guests mention welcome packs, including items like Welsh cakes and milk, there is inconsistency in their provision, and they are not guaranteed. As such, it is not possible to accurately score thoughtfulness based on the available information.
About this property
Positioned just a stone's throw away from the harbour and seafront, this colourful, semi-detached cottage rests in the heart of Aberaeron, between the coastal sweep that joins Cardigan and Aberystwyth. Bari is a cosy dwelling for families and friends looking to explore this beautiful region of Ceredigion. Step straight into the hallway from the street and feel a warm welcome from inside. Move through to the inviting sitting room and unwind from a day at the beach on the sofa. The kitchen to the rear of the cottage is well-presented with double doors through to the dining room, where you can gather for a delicious, sociable dinner and catch up on the days' activities. There is also a separate cloakroom/utility from the kitchen, with a handy washing machine, should you need to do any laundry during your stay. Up the stairs is a split landing with a twin room and family a bathroom on one side, whilst the king-size double with its own en-suite followed by a double room. You have access to a lovely patio area to the rear, a real sun trap with garden furniture for you to sit out and soak up the seaside atmosphere as you sip a well-earned glass of wine. You can enjoy a scenic stroll to Llanerchaeron, the National Trust's elegant Georgian villa set in the Aeron Valley. There are some fantastic beaches in the area, such as the mile of golden sands at the National Trust's Penbryn, one of Ceredigion's best-kept secrets. You can also enjoy the secluded cove at Mwnt, which is framed by a luscious patchwork of green and jagged cliffs jutting out into the bay. Spend some time exploring the villages of Cwmtydu, Llangrannog and Tresaith accessed via the Wales Coast Path, and journey over to New Quay to catch glimpses of dolphins gliding across the water. If you venture north to Aberystwyth, you have the Funicular Railway and steam railway, suitable for all ages to enjoy, as well as the Royal Pier and promenade. Further inland are the Cambrian Mountains and Cors Caron National Nature Reserve at Tregaron. You can have whatever holiday you choose here at this delightful seafront cottage.

It was a fantastic base for us to explore the area and Aberaeron itself. We had an issue with the shower in the en suite which was fixed the same day which was great. The only thing we could see that may need improving is the left hand side of the 2 seater sofa seems to have lost its stability a bit and and there were quite a few cobwebs and dust webs above eyeline the main one being behind the front door. Other than that it was perfect, would definitely book again and recommend to friends and family.

Pleased with the facilities also the location of the house. I think the time line for access to the house could be improved not being able to gain admission until 5pm is really late considering you have to be out of the house at 10.00am.

Everything as expected from the description - close to centre and restaurants and shops No problem with parking even though it was busy in the town Plenty of EV charging nearby if you have electric vehicle All in all we really enjoyed our stay
