Kitchen well supplied with utensils - Take your own hair dryer. Weather was very mixed this week, but we were able to get about and the cottage was cosy to return to. Our daughter enjoyed showing her two nephews her University nearby. Comfortable beds and as there is an upstairs toilet going down stairs for a bath or shower proved no problem. Plenty of room to spread out and relax. Thank you Terry and Diane.

It is situated in a very peaceful area, and is perfect for those wanting a quiet getaway. The owners directions were excellent, in a very rural setting day navs aren't always the answer! The only negative for us was the lack of outside playing space for the children.What was described as an "enclosed garden" in the information is,in fact, a small patio area Anyone without children, no problem, small children used to a large garden will find it problematical. Some of the local towns, especially Aberystwyth, seem very run down, and in need of substantial investment, nothing the property owners can do about that, but it was one of the factors affecting the rating given. All in all, a lovely house, but beware , no safe outside play area for children.

The bed combination was perfect for us and the beds were very comfy. It was fairly well-equipped. The picture is a bit deceiving re outside space which is minimal and not suitable for little kids to play but there were lots of toys inside. The cottage is not in Llanrhystud, as listed, but in Llangwyryfon which was annoying as my parents booked a cottage in Llanrhystud thinking we would be really close but it was a good 15 mins drive away down very narrow lanes. But all in all a good comfortable base for exploring the area.
