- Michael, August 2025Thank you so much for your feedback. It was a pleasure to see you and your daughter again. She was a young child last time how she has grown and time flies. Property Owner

Helen “We had a wonderful four nights at Yr Hen Llaethdy.”
Joy (and Rod) the owners have thought of everything and made this a five star plus experience. The property is fully equipped as a home; you need to bring nothing at all beyond personal items. The kitchen is fully stocked, all the cleaning peripherals including washing machine products, dishwaher tabs, bin bags. Tha bathroom is fully stocked in the style of a hotel, all amenties available. Robes and large towels are availble for the hot tub. the hot tub is great - an 8 person tub for the two of us. The setting is pin drop quiet, the lane is suitable for dog walking as it belongs to the farm and the neighbour, no passing traffic. Parking is secure and the property has high walls/fences for the gravel garden so is pet secure. the area is great also with beautiful beaches and walks within 15 minutes drive. It's a great place just to relax.
- Helen, July 2025Thank you so much for your feedback, it means a lot. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. Property Owner
Paul “Beautiful property, facilities the best we've ever encountered.”
Beds extremely comfortable. Welcome pack more akin to a hotel rather than self catering accommodation. Superb hot tub, better for being undercover especially in unpredictable UK weather! So, so peaceful. A real get away from it all cottage but only a short 5min drive to Newcastle Emlyn for supplies. Local area beautiful too.
- Paul, July 2025Thank you so much for your feedback which is much appreciated. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. Property Owner
Angela “This place is an absolute gem, 5 star plus, with baubles on top!”
!! Joy the owner has thought about every little detail, it is the best stocked cottage we have ever stayed in. It has everything you could ever need and even things you didn't think you would need, but do. From all the eco products in the kitchen, to all the eco and high end products in the bathroom, plus luxurious towels and bedding and a kitchen that has all the equipment that a chef would be proud to cook in. The cottage is large, extremely comfortable and was spotlessly clean, the enclosed court yard garden with hot tub is an added bonus, especially good for dogs, they are secure. The welcome pack from Joy was very thoughtful, all local products and even treats for your dogs. This is a MUST place to stay, simply the BEST with so many added bonus's and somewhere we will definitely be returning to.
- Angela, March 2025Thank you so much for your effusive feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and that the cottage met your needs. Rod and Joy Property Owner

Steve “A wonderful, peaceful stay at a very private and spacious cottage.”
Above and beyond with attention to detail, we felt as if we were staying on a retreat and thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub each evening, after walking the adventurous coastal paths. Special thanks to Joy and Rod for a warm and welcoming stay, treats on arrival and safe space for our dog Grace.
- Steve, October 2024Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Yusuf “This is our second visit - we first visited back in 2014 very soon after Yr Hen Llaethdy started and obviously back then everything was prestine and new.”
10 years on everything is exactly as I remember. It goes to show the effort the owners put in to running this place - everything was exceptional as expected and the personal touches left for us are the best we have experienced through many UK holidays. Many thanks - we will be back again!
- Yusuf, October 2024Thank you for providing feedback. We were thrilled to see you again, and meet your delightful daughter. It is a privilege to host guests whilst you make memories. Property Owner
Martin “We arrived on Monday 16th September 2024 and departed on Saturday 21st.”
We struggled to find the location using our Sat Nav, however” what 3 words “ is a free app to download onto your phone and will take you straight there. Rod & Joy the owners live next door and are lovely friendly people. This location is central to most areas. The accommodation is very comfortable and has everything you could possibly need including a hot tub. The Sykes pictures do not do this accommodation any justice. The under floor heating works well from thermostats in each room.
- Martin, September 2024Thank you so much for taking the time to provide feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and the facilities. Property Owner
Joyce “A very well appointed cottage with everything and more that one needed.”
Friendly, helpful owners, lovely welcome pack. Brilliant hot tub.
- Joyce, August 2024Thank you so much for your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. Rod and Joy Property Owner
Jo “What a beautiful cottage - a pleasure to stay here.”
Plenty of places within 25 minutes to visit by car. Peaceful and private. The hot tub was loved by all and it was nice that the space outside was totally secure for our small dog.
- Jo, August 2024Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We are so pleased that you enjoyed the cottage and your stay with us. Rod and Joy Property Owner
Diane “Exceptional cottage every thing you could ever need was catered for plus a bag ...”
Exceptional cottage every thing you could ever need was catered for plus a bag full of goodies and items placed in the fridge for arrival also the fresh flowers on the kitchen table were a lovely touch
- Diane, August 2024Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay. We hope to welcome you back one day Property Owner
Angela “A perfect Welsh getaway.”
The cottage is cozy and well-maintained, with a fully equipped kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. The living area is spacious, with comfortable seating and a lovely fireplace. The highlight was the hot tub, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The location is ideal, close to several beaches, villages, and historic sites. It was a peaceful escape, offering tranquility and a touch of luxury. Highly recommended!
- Angela, August 2024Thank you for your feedback that is much appreciated. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Yr Hen Llaethdy and the locality. Property Owner

! From the warm welcome by the owners to the welcome pack for the dogs, everything about this place is idyllic.

The cottage covers every aspect you would want whilst away. There was so much thought and care gone into the design of the property and the products available within. There was a welcome bag with some lovely gifts, leaflets for places to go and a xx luxury spa bath and hot tub. Will definitely be going back soon.
- Tracey, May 2024Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. This is much appreciated. We are glad that everything was to your liking and we look forward to seeing you again in the future. Rod and Joy Property Owner
Andrew “2nd time here and still best place we have stayed in.”
If you want peace, tranquility in excellent accommodation then this is the place. Lovely setting on a farm. Big enclosed courtyard with a big hot tub which was well used! We can not fault this place and we will be back. Lovely hosts as well. Andy and Jeanette. (Cornwall)
- Andrew, May 2024Thank you so much for your feedback which we value. Subsequent visits can sometimes be a disappointment so we are delighted that you enjoyed your second stay with us and we look forward to greeting you again Property Owner

Lovely touch of a welcome pack and we made great use of the hot tub during our stay. Would definitely stay again and for longer if we come back to the area.

Louise “Superb. The property is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, inside and out, comfortable, clean, warm (under floor heating), had everything you could need and the hot tub was so so welcome, comfy and larger than average.”
You can tell the hosts really care about you having a good experience and not just in it for business. One of the nicer places I’ve stayed and would be very fortunate to return. Pack wellies and flip flops!
- Louise, April 2024Delighted that you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your feedback. You are right about the importance to us of the guest experience. Hope to see you again one day. Property Owner
Kenny “Great accommodation.”
The second time we had been here and was great to be back. Loved everything about the place: spotless, loads of appliances in kitchen, comfy beds, great shower, safe outdoor space for the dog and the luxury of a hot tub - ideal for just relaxing and reading a book. Also enjoyed all the places around including PizzaTipi in Cardigan, the Ship Inn in Tresaith (great view of the sea) and further afield St Davids and Narbeth. Just a perfectly great relaxing week thank you
- Kenny, March 2024Dear Kenny Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We are so glad that your return visit was a success and you enjoyed the cottage and local attractions. Best wishes Rod and Joy Property Owner

- Alex, November 2023Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner
Alan “Great place , visited in November , so didn't get to see much of the farm , despite being a working farm it was very quiet , and with a private courtyard , covered outdoor seating and hot tub , perfect for the Welsh weather.”
Inside is something else , a fully equipped kitchen, large lounge area and two generous bedrooms, everything was clean and comfortable .We were greeted on arrival and shown round then left to ourselves , perfect for us . Our hosts were inconspicuous , but there when we needed them , Thanks for a great stay.
- Alan, November 2023Thank you for your feedback. It is very much appreciated. Property Owner
Alice “We had an absolutely great stay with our two sausage dogs.”
The house was immaculately clean and tidy, and had everything we needed for a weeks stay. The house is beautifully decorated and cow themed! The welcome pack was great and included some lovely Welsh food and snacks, and even included a dog pack. We will definitely be recommending this to our friends and family, we had a 10/10 stay here! Genuinely couldn’t fault anything.
- Alice, September 2023Thank you so much for your feedback which is very much appreciated. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay with us and look forward to seeing you again in the future. Rod and Joy Property Owner
Graham Andrew “Could not recommend enough!”
Everything was just perfect for us. From being on the farm.. we loved interacting with the cows and the sheepdogs (Jess & Meg) to the spacious cottage itself. The rooms were beautifully decorated and the hot tub was a huge hit with our 10 year old (and us!) Joy and Rod were the most perfect hosts, they made us feel extremely comfortable and relaxed for our entire time with them. The "Welcome" pack was extremely thoughtful, even our dog had gifts to welcome her to the cottage. And don't worry if you forget things like shampoo or teabags, because the supplies that Joy and Rod have put in place to cater for such scenarios are amazing! 100% recommend. We will definitely be returning!
- Graham Andrew, August 2023Thank you so much for your feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and the farm experience. Best wishes Rod and Joy Property Owner

Everything you could want and more .host were lovely people. And the welcome pack had so much in it even one for the dogs.we loved the hot tub and waking to the sound's of the cows in the morning. Would we go back most definitely.

- Paul, May 2023It was a pleasure to see you again and be part of your 20th wedding anniversary. Si glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. Rod and Joy Property Owner
Heather “Wow! What a find!”
The cottage is much larger than it appears in the photos, and beautifully presented inside and out and spotlessly clean. We were very lucky with the weather over the bank holiday weekend, we brought our portable bbq with us and had dinner each evening outside in the lovely garden, which the sun didn't appear to leave all day! The hot tub is huge, and was very much enjoyed. The owners have obviously put a lot of thought and love into making the place the perfect spot to chill out and enjoy the surroundings of the beautiful Welsh countryside. There is even a patio heater for chillier evenings if you want to enjoy more time outdoors. We drove out to Poppit sands (about 25mins), where our pooch enjoyed exploring the sand dunes, and to Cenarth Falls (12 mins) for a riverside and woodland walk, and a little splash about in the shallow waters beside the bridge. Just perfect, we cannot wait to return ❤️
- Heather, April 2023Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and that Yr Hen Llaethdy was to your liking. Rod and Joy Property Owner
Ben “Had an amazing time here, the decor was homely and very well presented.”
The kitchen was more than fully equipped and the facilities were spot on. Joy and Rod really made us feel welcome and left us all to it to enjoy. Would 1000 % recommend this place and I already have to family and friends !
- Ben, December 2022Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad that you chose to see in 2023 at Yr Hen Llaethdy. Best wishes Rod and Joy Property Owner
Edmond “I stayed here over Christmas with my family and it was a beautiful experience.”
Joy had decorated the place throughout for Christmas and there was a lovely Christmas hamper full of presents for all of us. Yr Hen Llaethdy was one of the cosiest accommodations we ever stayed. It was clean and spacious. The location is perfect for peace and quiet in the countryside. We all had a fantastic time here and will be coming back. Edmond and Kristine
- Edmond, December 2022We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us and appreciate your feedback. Thank you for choosing to make Christmas memories at Yr Hen Llaethdy and we wish you well for 2023. Rod and Joy Property Owner
Donna “We had a fantastic time here.”
Outstanding cottage, immaculate interior, lovely courtyard with hot tub. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend.
- Donna, September 2022We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your feedback. Rod and Joy Property Owner
Michael “I would recommend staying here to anybody, especially if you have dogs.”
Everything has been thought about in order to make your stay as comfortable and as easy as possible. The property was perfectly clean upon arrival, and our host was incredibly friendly, taking the time to show us around and explain everything before leaving us to enjoy our stay. The hot tub provides that luxury experience that everyone wants from a holiday cottage, and the rest of the amenities really made it feel as though you were getting loads of value for money. We will definitely be coming back!
- Michael, August 2022Thank you for your feedback. So glad that you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Tracey “This cottage was absolutely stunning.”
It was lovely and everything was provided. There was a welcome pack on arrival which was such a thoughtful touch and even a welcome pack for our doggy. The cottage was very private with fully enclosed courtyard. Picturesque surroundings and only a relatively short drive to coastal resorts if Aberporth and New Quay.
- Tracey, August 2022Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us and found it a useful base for the coast. Property Owner
Antony “Absolutely fantastic stay at this cottage.”
The cottage was perfect for us as a family and had everything we needed. The cottage was on a working farm and the owners were right next door. They met us on arrival and and talked us through everything. The cottage was absolutely spotless. Location wise it is a 20 minute drive to the nearest beach (Aberporth). Other beaches like tresaith, Poppit sands or llangranog are a few minutes further away. Being woken up to the sound of cows in the morning is such fun and our dog loved being on a working farm. The dog was-able to use the fields to go circa walk and to do her business when the cows were not around. What really makes this cottage special are the little touches left by the owners on arrival. I do not have anything negative to say as there really are no negatives. The hot tub rounds things off after a busy day out and about. I really recommend this cottage. Believe me you won’t be disappointed.
- Antony, July 2022Thank you so much for your feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and appreciate that you chose to stay with us. Rod and Joy Property Owner
Pramila “We had a really wonderful time.”
The current photos of the listing on Sykes really does not do it justice. I expected a working farm to be a little noisy in the mornings but it was so quite and peacefull. Covered hot tub and outdoor seating was fantastic as we did have a fair bit of rain and it made no difference at all. The owners were lovely and even came to rescue me when I got a bit lost. Everything was five star, it couldn't have been better. Many thanks.
- Pramila, June 2022Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
John “Yr Hen Llaethdy Is a delightful, comfortable and well equipped property.”
We found it spotlessly clean and VERY well appointed, every conceivable needs seems to have been thought of and catered for. The facilities provided were, quite possibly, the best we have every experienced. The hosts were very welcoming and the welcome items were thoughtful and appreciated. The property is well situated as a base for exploration of South West Wales. We explored from Aberystwyth to the Gower peninsula with no problems whatsoever. Everyone we came into contact with were delightful, very friendly and welcoming. We could not recommend Yr Hen Llaethdy more highly.
- John, June 2022We are delighted with your feedback, thank you. We are pleased that your first visit to Wales was so memorable and enjoyable. Best wishes and kind regards Rod and Joy Property Owner
Jo “Fabulous cottage and lovely hosts.”
Highly recommended.
- Jo, May 2022Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. Rod and Joy Property Owner
Stephen “This is by far the most well equipped cottage we have ever been to.”
The attention to detail is second to none . Joy our lovely hostess went above and beyond to make our stay for my partners 50 th birthday break. We loved the hot tub and everything we needed was provided. We can recommend this cottage to anybody.
- Stephen, May 2022Thank you so much for your feedback. It was a pleasure to be part of the birthday celebrations. We are pleased that the cottage and surroundings were to your liking. Best wishes Rod and Joy Property Owner
Kevan “Lovely cottage and area 5 star.”
- Kevan, April 2022Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Kenny “Thank you for an absolutely brilliant holiday.”
We loved everything about this place the welcome, the decor (including all the Easter decorations), the layout, the private garden, the hot tub, the welcome pack and the farm. Nothing we would add nothing we would change.Thoroughly recommend and I say that nervous it becomes too busy we can’t come back ;)
- Kenny, April 2022Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us and found the cottage to your liking. Returning guests are always welcome. Property Owner

Rod and Joy went above and beyond to make our stay even more special. The area is stunning and the coastline breathtaking. We leave with precious memories we will treasure forever and can’t wait to return. Thank you
- Christopher, April 2022Thank you for your feedback and parting gifts. We always feel privileged to be part of family celebrations and memory making adventures. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your visit to the area. Property Owner
Andrew “One of if not the best property we have ever stayed in.”
It had everything you could ever need and also was in a lovely location on the farm. Lovely hosts and total peace and quiet. Had a lovely welcome pack on our arrival. Will definately go back here. Totally recommend this property. Andy and Jeanette Cornwall
- Andrew, March 2022Dear Andy and Jeanette Thank you so much for your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and found the cottage and location to your liking. The guest experience is very important to us. We hope to see you again some day. Property Owner

Couldn't fault it and will definitely return in the future.
- Jessica, February 2022We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us. We appreciate you taking the time to give us feedback. Rod and Joy Property Owner
Natalie “The pictures for this cottage still don't do it justice!”
Every detail has been carefully thought out so you have everything you need, even down to books containing all the best coastal walks for the area. It was warm and cozy and beautifully designed an absolute gem! The private courtyard/ garden area was great with the hot tub! Joy and rod were very friendly and helpful, it was a pleasure to meet them and a pleasure to stay there.
- Natalie, January 2022Thank you for your feedback. We enjoyed meeting you and are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us. Property Owner
Anita “Absolutely wonderful.”
I dont feel the photos do the cottage justice so don't scroll by! It was still decorated for Christmas and was just gorgeous. The cottage has everything (and more) you could ever need. The welcome hamper was exceptional as was the private courtyard and hot tub - where we welcomed the new year in. Communication with the owners was faultless. Highly recommend as somewhere to recharge and re-connect.
- Anita, December 2021Thank you for taking the time to send in your feedback. We are delighted that you are enjoyed your stay with us and that the cottage and decorations were to your liking. The guest experience is very important to us so your feedback is most welcome. With best wishes for 2022 Rod and Joy Property Owner
Ravi “Fabulous cottage and fabulous owners.”
Joy and Rod were fantastic. Didn’t want for anything in this warm and cosy cottage. Hot tub was amazing. Dogs loved the walks and surrounding areas. Highly recommended.
- Ravi, November 2021Anna “We have never been so pleasantly surprised by gifts as we were welcomed into this house.”
A beautiful house, clean, equipped with everything you need and even more. Privacy guaranteed. Very good hosts.
- Anna, November 2021Miriam “ABSOLUTELY Wonderful.”
Everything you could possibly ask for and more all delightfully presented, and the best ever welcome treats. away from Yr Hen Llaethdy many places to visit locally, Newcastle Ellyn - don't miss the castle, worth paying the parking and then walk into town. The iron age fort - Castle Henlys, Cenarth Falls and Popping Sands are just a few. Further afield St Davids and the small harbour at Fishguard (lower). ready to return to the lovely private courtyard garden and hot tub
- Miriam, November 2021Douglas “Lovely house, nice people, great setting, recommend to anyone seeking a quiet, comfortable and inviting break.”
- Douglas, October 2021Rachel “We had a lovely week in this cottage, nothing was too much trouble, Joy and Rod were fantastic hosts, it was lovely to relax in the peace and quiet of the countryside.”
The hot tub was an added bonus for relaxing my aching bones after a day out.
- Rachel, August 2021Karen “Holiday cottage was home from home with so many extrasQuiet location but easy ...”
Holiday cottage was home from home with so many extrasQuiet location but easy travelling distance to anenitiesOwners Joy and Rod were so pleasant and helpful
- Karen, August 2021Clara “Only a negative: the internet in the cottage is very week, there is no router in the actual cottage.”
Being on a farm means listening to the animals raising early in the morning! :) Beds are too soft, but that's a personal preference. Overall the cottage is fabulous, very well equipped and the owners are very welcoming. We had a great week away with our kids and dogs.
- Clara, July 2021Thank you for your feedback. We were unaware of the extent of the current WiFi issues in the cottage until after your family left on 7 August as it was not mentioned it to us. Living in rural West Wales, WiFi is not always reliable and over the years we have invested in technology to try and improve connectivity and band-width. As a direct result of this feedback we pursued the matter again and have now benefited from advancement in technology and had 4G installed on 14 September. Our guests who stayed last week have said that the signal is "fantastic" and it extends to the courtyard garden. It is always a great disappointment to us if our guest experience is impaired in any way and we shall always do our utmost to address any shortcomings should they occur. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay otherwise. Property Owner
Hayley “We had a wonderful experience staying at Yr Hen Llaethdy.”
The cottage was homely & fully equipped with everything you could need. Joy & Rod were amazing hosts & provided so many extra touches to make our stay special. The farm expeeience was lovely, as a family with a toddler they welcomed us to meet their animals which was great. Our 2 year old loved it. As did us adults. The location was also perfect to explore the surrounding beaches by a short drive which were beautiful. Highly recommend visiting Treisaith & Mwnt. We will be returning after having a fantastic experience
- Hayley, July 2021Lauren “Cottage had everything we needed and more.”
The pictures do not do this cottage justice. Perfect for total relaxation.
- Lauren, July 2021Rosemary “The cottage was beautifully presented , the owners strive to make everything perfect.”
The setting is peaceful, but the price you pay for this is reliance on the car. There is nothing , such as a shop or a pub , that is within walking distance. That aside , there are so many beautiful places to visit. Small seaside towns , Aberporth, and Tresaith are quiet with lovely walks nearby. New Quay, is busier but great for dolphin spotting. The Welsh Wildlife trust at Cilgerran is worthy of a visit. Newcastle Emlyn is 3 miles away , handy for supplies and several pubs . We ate twice at The Bunch Of Grapes and were very happy with the food. We felt very spoilt in our cottage , could find no fault , the hot tub was a treat that we both enjoyed.
- Rosemary, June 2021John “One of the best places we have stayed.”
The hot tub is great and the owners very welcoming and friendly and go above and beyond expectations. Would definitely consider this cottage again.
- John, May 2021Adam “Lovely well needed stay at this well presented , clean and comfortable converted game building.”
Hosts were great , welcome pack was a unexpected treat and the level of detail within the property was fantastic. There were clear instructions for every appliance and winding down in the hot tub after long walks in the day was well received. Would definitely recommend
- Adam, April 2021Rebecca “Brilliant time and everything you need!”
This place far exceeded our expectations and the pictures don’t give the place justice. Situated in a lovely part of wales, there is plenty to do and explore. The hosts are very thoughtful and provide everything you could ever ask for! We would recommend this to anyone looking for a place to stay!
- Rebecca, December 2020Helen “Stayed in Yr Hen for a week all l can say is we loved it.”
The location was suitable to visit a number of different beaches and small towns l never realised how pretty that part of the country was. The cottage itself was amazing everything you need is there it was so comfortable we felt at home within an hour hot tub lovely on a cold night and very private sheltered from the elements. Rod and Joy the owners are lovely and made us feel very welcome. Would highly recommend staying in Yr Hen for a quite relaxing break so hope we get to visit again.
- Helen, November 2020Dave “This property was lovely.”
Rod and joy the owners were lovely and very helpful. They left a welcome pack and even got me a birthday card and present for my birthday. The cottage was fully equipped. The garden area is fully enclosed for dogs. Hot tub was under cover with the rain so was lovely sitting in it no matter what the weather. Would certainly go back again.
- Dave, September 2020Christine “Our cottage was way above our expectations, it was absolutely superb, we didn't want to come home.”
The attention to detail in the cottage was excellent and the welcome pack was a lovely surprise. We will definitely be going again soon as we can
- Christine, September 2020Dominic “The cottage was lovely and clean.”
It is very well equipped making a self catering holiday with children very enjoyable. The location is peaceful and quiet, however it is a short drive to some fabulous beaches and the coastal path. We were even lucky enough to see dolphins.
- Dominic, August 2020Elizabeth “Lovely little free gifts (local treats) and fresh eggs from the farm to greet you on arrival.”
Hot tub in February was great and easy to use. Bed was super king size and really comfortable, plush linen and Pillows. Very dog friendly. Try the Nags head and the daffodil Inn both great pubs serving delicious food again both except dogs.
- Elizabeth, February 2020Emma “Rod and Joy have thought of everything to make sure that your stay is comfortable.”
There is everything that you need there. Privacy is given for when you are in the hot tub which is rare to find. The cottage is amazing and clean. I would highly highly recommend this property to stay if you want a relaxing get away! Thankyou so much! Emma.
- Emma, January 2020Martin Neil “From the outset Joy, our hostess, was welcoming and helpful.”
The cottage is well equipped and spotlessly clean. Enclosed area was ideal for our dog. The hot tub was a pleasant extra which received quite some use.
- Martin Neil, October 2019Lynda “This cottage is beautiful and so are the owners.”
Only down side was finding the turning in...arrange to meet them in Newcastle Emlyn You will love your time there!!!!
- Lynda, September 2019Sue “We had to curtail the start of our holiday due to health problems and Joy showed very kind concern for our situation.”
We eventually managed to arrive for our second week and Joy and Rod very kindly helped us in and out of the car with our luggage. The cottage was very comfortable, clean and well equipped. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and the lovely surrounding countryside. We weren't able to travel far but found all we needed by way of shops and cafes in Newcastle Emlyn. We will need to return so that we can take full advantage of all the places of interest in this beautiful area.
- Sue, July 2019Joanne “Absolutely fantastic cottage nothing was too much trouble lovely location lovely couple and a perfect few days away.”
Would highly recommend whether your a couple or a family ..... Children /babies very well catered for and welcomed
- Joanne, May 2019T “We enjoyed our holiday very much the house was lovely and warm everything we could need.”
The hot tub was lovely and warm in arrival and through our our holiday. Even when I had trouble with my car Joy and Did did everything they could to help me. They both made out feel like part of the family even our dogs enjoyed staying
- T, May 2019Robert “The cottage was amazing a d Rod and Joy could not have done any more .”
The hot tub was great after being out for long walks plenty of room to walk our dog and a speial thank you to Rod and Joy for our welcome packs and birthday gifts. Can't wait to visit again Rob and Jan
- Robert, April 2019Christina “My father, husband and I spent a wonderful week staying in this holiday cottage on the farm and none of us wanted to leave I can tell you.”
Joy & Rod are both such lovely, friendly and kind people and honestly cannot do enough for you. The cottages is so well equipped you need not take hardly anything with you at all which is brilliant. The beds are extremely comfortable and the whole layout of the place is lovely, spacious and so clean. We walked in and were shown around by Joy, who made sure we knew exactly where everything was and how it worked. The Welcome goodybag was such a lovely touch and a really nice start to our first evening there. We thoroughly enjoyed the fresh chicken eggs from their chickens with our morning breakfasts and evening omelettes. We were also privileged enough to try some duck eggs as well, which were just as lovely. Rod kindly introduced us to his animals which was one big plus of staying on a farm, seeing the baby calves and lambs as well as the ducks, chickens and friendly farm cats, which will welcome you at the back door each morning. Having the hot tub was so nice after you had been out for a day trip or a long walk. We would just sit back and relax our muscles which was a lovely end to each day. The underfloor heating that warms the whole place is really good, we were warm and snug the whole week we there and it was lovely under foot too. There are so many things about this property which are lovely, the quality of furniture, extremely well equipped kitchen and attention to detail right through is brilliant. There are many places to see around the area but I would recommend:- -Sculptureheaven, a really lovely little place to visit and their cakes and cordials are wonderful. -Cenarth falls just round the corner, you can enjoy a lunch & drink in the pub opposite or a nice ice cream from the little gift shop, while taking a walk down the side of the river listening to the water rumbling over the stones. -Cardigan coastal farm park is a great place to visit if you have children to see the farm animals but even for us, just to enjoy the coastal walk above and see the Seals bobbing their heads up about the water and if you are lucky, a dolphin too. -Visit Caws Cenarth cheese farm and watch through windows into the factory as they make the cheese, separating the curds and whey and then down by hand putting the cards into the cheese moulds. Then walk across to the shop for some tastings, you can't help come away with bags of cheese, it's lovely. -The National Wool Museum just around the corner is quite interesting as well and worth a visit. We also visited a Goldmine, a Waterfall and a Coal mine, which were further afield but all really good too.

- Andrew, January 2019Heidi “Amazing!! Best Christmas holiday we had, didn’t want to come home”
!! Hamper and gifts on arrival such a welcoming touch. Joy and Rod went above and beyond to make our holiday perfect even before our arrival. The cottage has everything you could want and more, so comfy and the hot tub was a delight. 5 stars and we would love to return in future.
- Heidi, December 2018Rachel “We had a fantastic break and can hardly wait for our next one”
- Rachel, October 2018Kylie “The cottage was lovely and was so well equipped with everything we needed.”
The owners Joy and Rod we're amazing and couldn't do enough for us. We were welcomed with an amazing welcome pack with jams, waffles and books for our little boy. Would definitely recommend staying here.
- Kylie, September 2018Danielle “I believe my title says it all.”
Having come back to Yr Hen Llaethdy five times in four years we clearly love this slice of Welsh heaven. Joy and Rod are extremely welcoming, the little personal touches to the cottage make the stay. The gift bag of sweets, jams and little presents for our children was perfect. We had a Chinese from the Super Garden in town, which was amazing and a must have. We visited Pen Y Bryn beach twice and highly recommend it. We will most definitely be returning. Massive thumbs up to Joy and Rod for all their hard work they put in to make Yr Hen Llaethdy a home from home.
- Danielle, August 2018Mark “Lovely cottage.”
Everything provided and more. Hot tub was great fun and relaxing after a day out and about. Plenty of towels plus robes and slippers for hot tub. Owners so friendly and accommodating-left a welcome parcel and milk and water in the fridge. Really spacious and modern. Plus you are on a working farm so plenty off animals about including kittens and ducks and shire horses next door. Really quiet just the sound of sheep and birds. Definitely recommend.
- Mark, July 2018Paul “Rod & Joy very friendly couple made us feel very welcome in there cottage and nothing was too much trouble for them .”
They supplied a lovely goody bag of items on arriving at the cottage which was well beyond there duty and we thought it was an excellent gesture . The cottage is very nicely furnished inside with all mod cons and everything you should ever wish for is in there . Beds are comfy and plenty of towels for you to use. The hot tub in the garden is lovely and we enjoyed going in there most nights . We enjoyed our week and would certainly recommend to family and friends . Mr & Mrs Tweed .
- Paul, July 2018Edward “Our hosts were there with information on best places to visit, one of the best welcome hampers ever.”
No problem was to small. The hot tub was excellent.
- Edward, June 2018Kevin “We have stayed in cottages in Ireland and they we not a patch on this one spotlessly clean so well equipped with everything you could possibly want and more the owners attention to detail is superb with something for all ages.”
The furnishings and layout really maximise this properties potential. The owners are welcoming and nothing is too much trouble . We have had the most amazing relaxing stay thank you
- Kevin, June 2018Yvonne “Beautiful cottage very well equipped kitchen,little gem would recommend to anyone.”
Welcome pack was delicious something for everyone Thankyou
- Yvonne, May 2018Andrew “Great place to stay - Rod and Joy are fantastic hosts, welcome pack was a nice treat on arrival and Easter eggs and toys for the children we also well received.”
The hot tub, 3d TV were a welcome treat and table football was a real winner with the childen (8 & 14). working farm so plenty of cows, calves, donkey;s and cats. Great location but you do need to drive to get to places but nothing is really too far away.
- Andrew, March 2018Susan “Our Holliday at Yr Hen Llaethdy was a real treat,the owners could not do more to mke it the most comfortable cottage we have stayed in and we have stayed in many over the years with Sykes.”
- Susan, September 2017Jane “Very high standard of accommodation and the owners were amazing, ensuring our stay was enjoyed.”
Joy certainly goes that "extra mile". And of course, there is the hot tub!! Highly recommended. Thank-you once again Joy and Rod. x
- Jane, July 2017Linda “Excellent holiday cottage, the best we have stayed at.”
- Linda, July 2017Heather “We have just spent Christmas in the most beautiful cottage.”
The trouble you that Joy goes to to ensure your stay is perfect is something you don't see often anymore. Both Joy and Rod were welcoming and friendly without being invasive. The facilities were wonderful, lovely hot tub and spa bath, no expense has been spared on the furnishings, the beds were extremely comfortable and overall feel of the cottage was home from home. You are on a working farm which is wonderful, beautiful little cows as your neighbours, donkeys, baby lambs and horses. So sad to leave but so happy to have booked somewhere like this hidden gem, and have had the most wonderful Christmas.
- Heather, December 2016Brian “Cottage immaculate short of nothing unbelievable little touches ,flowers, welcome pack ,dressing gowns slippers i could go on but i cant remember everything .”

Beautifully decorated and very well equipped. We all loved the hot tub.
- David, August 2016Felicity “The owners were there to welcome us which after a long journey was great.”
The cottage had all we needed. The location was perfect to go explore other towns and areas with a good time to get back. We loved that once the babies were asleep we could go outside and have a sheltered seated area to chat and relax. An overall wonderful first family holiday. We would definitely go back again and recommend others to stay!
- Felicity, June 2016Lynn “Although this is a 5 star holiday we feel it should be given more.”
Joy and Rod are two of the nicest people you could meet. The accommodation was faultless. The hot tub was super and so relaxing. We will definitely be going back next year.
- Lynn, May 2016Sarah “This cottage is amazing, it has everything you could possibly need for a quiet getaway!”
Good location and private, Rod and Joy have thought of everything you could possibly need with this cottage and spared no expense. Even down the the lovely welcome pack that includes goodies from the area... And the hot tub is a wonderful extra to have. We have stayed here twice and without a doubt would come back for a third time.
- Sarah, May 2016Julia “The owners were such welcoming hosts and were brilliant with our boys and allowed them to enjoy the farm and the animals.”
The cottage was beautifully appointed to a high specification and the hot tub was a fabulous extra. It was a good location in a lovely part of Wales. We wiill recommend and return.
- Julia, April 2016Mark “It was a home from home where we could relax and enjoy our time together as a family.”
- Mark, March 2016Cheryl “The standard of facilities was extremely good you can actually turn up with a few clothes in a bag as the owners have thought of every eventuality.”
Location was good plenty to do within a few mile radius or plenty to do in the cottage with board games, DVD and 3D TV provided.
- Cheryl, January 2016David “The property was exceptional and the location lovely and secluded.”
I love cooking, so was ecstatic to see the kitchen was full of bowls, knifes, whisks etc.
- David, January 2016Laura “Fantastic holiday!”
Yr Hen Llaethdy was spotless and had everything we could possibly need. The owner had thought of everything and the little extra touches made the stay even more enjoyable. The hot tub was a lovely added luxury after a day's walking. The photos do not do the cottage justice- it's much bigger in real life and is decorated to an extremely high standard. Can't wait to visit again!
- Laura, December 2015David “What can we say about the cottage - it was warm, homely and spotlessly clean.”
It was the best equipped we have ever stayed in with a fantastic kitchen and bathroom. The laundry room was very useful as the weather was wet for the whole week. It didn't stop us enjoying the wonderful coastline though and the hot tub was a great place to enjoy a drink in the evening. All in all a fantastic place to stay, we would thoroughly recommend it.
- David, November 2015Heidi “This cottage was beautiful!”
We could not have felt more welcome by the owners and the whole cottage was finished to such a high standard, it felt like being in a luxury hotel. The hot tub was amazing and our six year old loved going on the swing everyday. Would highly recommend to anyone to visit this beautiful place.
- Heidi, October 2015R “Liked the friendliness and helpfulness of the owners, the cottage, which was everything we hoped it would be, and the beauty of Wales.”
The fact that the cottage is dog friendly and so many of the pubs and cafes are also dog friendly.
- R, September 2015Holly “The hosts were welcoming and thoughtful, and the holiday cottage was quiet and relaxing, just what we needed.”
- Holly, August 2015Janie “The attention to detail, the excellent hosts, the feel good factor of the solar roof cells, not having to think about anything because everything was there and the privacy.”
- Janie, July 2015Paula “A relaxing environment around nature and the animals, within easy commuting distance to beaches - at New Quay beach we saw Dolphins several times on different days.”
The standard of accommodation was excellent with attention to detail, magazines, hot tub, 3D TV, shower, and fantastic bath and bed. Very comfortable, a home from home!
- Paula, June 2015Ann “In terms of value for money this property was absolutely great.”
Accept this property as part of a working farm and the quality is very hard to beat. The owners were helpful and friendly. It is very well equipped, comfortable and well placed to explore this part of Wales. Simply loved it!
- Ann, June 2015Hannah “A beautiful house and a lovely location, which made it a fantastic holiday for us.”
- Hannah, May 2015Lisa “The accommodation is stunning - beautifully furnished and a lovely finish.”
The picture of the outside of the property makes it appear quite small but it is deceptively large when you go inside. The whole family loved the hot tub which we made use of every day! The owners were very helpful and were happy to show our children the farm animals. Would definitely recommend this property for a lovely holiday.
- Lisa, April 2015Paul “I liked everything about this fabulous cottage.”
An ideal location for peace and quiet but near enough to the town centre and other places of interest. Highly recommended.
- Paul, March 2015Gemma “The owners are incredibly friendly and welcoming and really contributed to a fantastic week away.”
The cottage is furnished to the highest standards and the welcome pack that was left was wonderful and very thoughtful. We cannot recommend this cottage enough and really hope to return very soon!
- Gemma, February 2015Stacey “We all loved the hot tub, even the kids couldn't get enough of it.”
- Stacey, February 2015Amy “The cottage was more equipped than our own home!”
The décor was amazing and the whole feel of it was amazing. The garden was great for our dog as it was secure and a good size. The hot tub was really well looked after and clean. The owners are very attentive but don't intrude. The cottage has been finished to a very high standard with the décor and furnishings.
- Amy, January 2015Paul “Completely excellent accommodation in every way.”
- Paul, December 2014Celia “Liked the peace, the welcome, the hamper and the farm animals.”
As well as the hot tub and the wow factor of the cottage. The underfloor heating made the cottage warm and toasty, thank you for giving us a relaxing break.

Relaxing and one most definitely to be repeated.
