Cilgwyn Bach

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Very clean, spacious. Locals are lovely and helpful near to everything. The owners are lovely people- will recommend to others.

Well equipped with every necessities one can think of.

Definitely recommend others to visit with family for a relaxing break away from the busy city life.

A very fine well equipped barn conversion, well maintained and first class hosts highly recommend for pet lovers

A spacious, comfortable, quiet and very well equipped accommodation.

Great location to explore West Wales. Extremely helpful and responsive host. Would recommend highly.

Really nice Barn everything was ready and the hosts were very nice too, great location for south west wales as not far from beach and attractions would return again

Left a review in the Guest Book and thanked the Owners for a lovely stay.

Second time here!

We love this place so peaceful and relaxing. The owners are lovely! Would 100% recommend.

We arrived at the property and I must say I was taken back by how beautiful it was, on entering the property we all let out a wow and as to the facilities they were amazing every need was taken care of by the owner who was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

We will definitely be back soon.

Had a nice stay at this property , suited us perfectly for looking around this part of Wales

Lovely barn conversion - exactly as described.

Plenty of cutlery, crockery and cooking utensils. Only thing missing was a dishwasher. Owners very friendly and helpful. Well situated to explore local beaches and woodlands.

Brilliant week and enjoyed the house

We really enjoyed our week at Cilgwyn Bach.

The house was clean, comfortable and quiet. A great base from which to explore this area of Wales. The owners were nearby if any help/advice was needed.

We had a lovely Easter stay with family and truly felt like we found a home away from home.

The property was well-equipped with all the amenities you could need, and the beds were very comfortable. A thoughtful touch was the call we received a day before our stay to check on our bed preferences. This was especially appreciated as we were travelling with our grandma, who prefers a single bed even when sharing a room — and everything was arranged perfectly. The ground floor bedroom and walk-in shower were ideal for her as well, making the stay accessible and convenient. The rooms were spacious, giving everyone plenty of room to relax, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook and enjoy meals together. We also loved how close the Nisa Local and Premier shops were — just a short walk away, so it was easy to grab anything we needed during our 3-night stay. Eleanor and Richard were incredibly helpful and welcoming, adding to the warm and homely feel of the place. I would definitely go back and book this beautiful home again. It truly felt like a comfortable retreat for the whole family.

Lovely property, well maintained and everything as it should be.

Lovely patio at the back of the house totally secure for the hound, a decent are to throw a ball on. Lots of parking. Some great walks on the north coast around Cardigan area, and the Brechfa Forrest close by offers a large area to explore. Finally the owners are charming very helpful and on hand to address and questions

Thank you for changing the bed sheets.

Much appreciated.

Lovely cottage very relaxing.

Wonderful walk in shower in my bedroom too. Owners to hand if required. Very peaceful setting. Would recommend. Thanks

Nice Cottage situated behind owners house.

Parking is really close so unpacking the car is easy. The cottage overall was clean except for the bathroom with the bath in which had dark hairs on the sink, in the bath and bath plug drain (we didn't need to use this bathroom). The cottage is cozy, the lounge furniture is comfortable, the beds are a little on the firm side but comfortable. The Nisa Extra shop nearby is great and had everything we needed. We found some really lovely restaurants the New Celtic in Aberaeron and The Forest Arms in Brechfa well worth booking if you're out that way. There is lots to see and do in the surrounding area. The National Wool Museum is Free to visit and well worth spending a few hours (especially if it's raining) The Cenarth Falls has a lovely river walk and is £3 to park all day, there is a cafe nearby. The Aberaeron road to Aberystwyth has lovely coastal scenery and the A44 from Aberystwyth to Llangurig has breath taking views.

Fantastic accommodation fantastic hosts will be coming back

We regularly book cottages for holidays and I have to say this one was one of if not the best we have been too.

The hosts were lovely, the accommodation was as stated and had everything we needed. The enclosed garden was fabulous for the dogs. We would highly recommend and would love to go back.

A very comfortable and spacious holiday home, set in beautiful grounds, we appreciated the friendliness of the hosts and the comforts and facilities provided.

An oasis of peacefulness with great views of countryside, with easy access to the surrounding villages and coast.

This was a beautiful barn with everything you need for a perfect holiday.

The owners were very friendly and welcoming. The enclosed garden is perfect for dogs and with its views of the hills is an ideal location to sit and relax. The location of the barn is handy for visiting lots of beaches and there is a food shop just around the corner if you fancy something quick for dinner. We would definitely stay here again!

A fabulous barn conversion, better than new.

Very clean and tidy with most needed facilities. A dishwasher may be an improvement but hand washing up never hurts anyone and doesn’t take much time or effort. The immediate area is ok with good views from the property but the rest of west Wales leaves a lot to be desired. The roads are poor and the 20mph limit through towns and villages is ridiculous. Towns themselves appear drab,sometimes scruffy. North and south Wales are much nicer.

Best property in the area.

Well designed, lots of charm. Super clean, great hosts. If you are staying in the area I woukd highly recommend

The property was lovely and clean, very well equipped, with everything you need in the kitchen, the beds were comfy.

The Barn is beautiful, a lovely place to have a great relaxing peaceful holiday, with great views. Owners very welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend.

The barn is clean, modern and spacious with a lovely large enclosed garden.

Great base to visit both coasts. We enjoyed Tenby, Brechfa forest, New Quay and kayaking with Llandysul Paddlers.

What a lovely place and very dog friendly.

Only down side we couldn't stay longer work was shouting not far from shop and take away and lovely dog friendly pubs not far away beach about 25 min nice to Sit out side with a drink and watch wildlife good down stairs room with shower next to it if stairs aren't your thing on my list to go again thanks to the host's for making our stay great..and give your dogs a treat from me pete.irene .Ruby and Rosie the dog

A lovely barn conversion, well equipped and comfortable.

Excellent hosts, really enjoyed our chats. Great accommodation for dog owners, nice secure garden and lovely walks on the doorstep,

We had a nice stay here but there were a couple of bits that we didn't enjoy.

We were surprised to find that the cottage is in the owners back garden and we had to drive through their entrance to the property to access the cottage. We prefer to be much more isolated on holidays and as others have commented we felt the lack of privacy with some windows not having curtains. This isn't what the photos of the property suggest. We were also very disappointed with the lack of dishwasher and will certainly be checking other properties in future for this. Have never stayed in a cottage without a dishwasher before but have never specifically checked for one either. Our bed was uncomfortable and we struggled to sleep towards the end of our stay. The sofas are also not very comfortable for lounging around on the wet days. The owners were helpful when we had a problem with the water and this was sorted quickly. The area around is beautiful and there is a lot to do so would definitely return to the area.

Lovely property, great location and very accommodating owners.

Would definitely stay again. Thank you

Lovely barn conversion very comfortable for the whole family.

Set in a quiet location but close enough to places to visit.

We stayed for a week over Christmas and had a lovely time together as a family The accommodation looked outstanding front and rear, however inside although on first looks its beautiful there were a few minor issues we faced like cleanliness of the showers and the kitchen accessories, which we had to clean ourselves.

Also, there were large cobwebs throughout the premises. Could also do with a back light for the rear garden that isn't solar. The kitchen fridge is too small for the premises especially if you have a large family staying. The trays inside the fridge are old, dainted and fell apart if anything was placed onto them. However, it was manageable and we had a good time. The accommodation itself i believe is miss-sold by Skyes. The pictures are very deceiving. The property shown is actually located on the owners back garden literally 20 meters from their home. Next doors property's is even closer and with no curtains or blinds on some windows it gave sense of feeling that you were being watched. Llandysul is an ideal location to stay if you want to be close to some of West Wales stunning locations such as New Quay and Mwnt. Lastly, the owners were always available and were very friendly. I highly recommend staying here.

We loved our short stay and will definitely return later this year.

Just a few little bits that we picked upon which wouldn’t put us off returning. Bedroom door handle broken (the owner did tell us about this) Door storage in fridge broken, there was some dust in the bathroom extractor fan and the seal on the shower needs cleaning or replacing. However I would like to make it perfectly clear this would not stop us returning. Lots of little things like local milk, the dog treats, the chocolates left on the table. All of did say that we could happily live there

A beautiful well maintained & equipped barn conversion.

This was a holiday booked for our dogs. Which they throughly enjoyed, with all the secluded beaches and coastal walks. The fully enclosed & secure garden was an added bonus for the boys to enjoy. Would highly recommend.

The barn is extremely well equipped and we were very warm and comfortable, despite it being November and often wet and chilly!

The only thing missing for us was a couple of table lamps in the sitting area. It's all down to personal preference, and also the time of year (!), but it would just have made it that bit cosier. The owners are welcoming, really friendly and helpful, they treat you as guests and not visitors. The garden is excellent for dogs, ours loved it, and the patio area would be a lovely spot to enjoy the views in better weather. Thank you Eleanor and Richard, we hope to return!

This barn conversion is beautiful.

Had everything you need and more. Owners were very helpful too. Our stay here was so relaxing, just what was needed. Dogs loved the garden also, great knowing they were fully enclosed and safe to run as much as they liked. We didnt want to come home.

Property was ideal for our three generation family party plus dog.

The property is well equipped with all you could need and more. The dog had the time of her life in the fully enclosed and dog proof garden. The area has lots to offer with lots of beaches about thirty to forty minutes drive. Roads are very good and quiet even in August.

Our holiday property was excellent and we could not find fault.

Everything we needed was in the house. The owners were most helpful on the couple of occasions we asked for their help/advice. We would quite happily return.

Direction details to property needs updating.

Thankful to property owners for quickly replacing faulty oven and for cooking our pizzas! Wet room on ground floor difficult to use, we ended up sharing one of the ensuites. Otherwise loved the barn conversion.

Lovely owner willing to answer any questions if you had any.

The accommodation was great, everything we needed and the walks from the house were fantastic! We managed to have great eggs too!

We had a good time at Cilgwyn Bach.

Great location to see West Wales. The property is well kept, the garden is very peaceful, great views. The village has good services. Only hiccup was the oven stopped working but the owner tended to it quickly. Didnt spoil anything. Would definitely stay there again. West Wales surpassed all expectations. Great hosts and the local people were warm and welcoming.

Beautiful high quality Barn conversion set in a peaceful small village, great large enclosed garden with plenty of garden furniture, Many seaside resorts within a short drive, would definitely recommend this property, Thank you Eleanor and Richard

Wow Wow what a fantastic place.

We really enjoyed our holiday the weather was brilliant. The garden is fully enclosed so no worries about the dog getting out. The hosts Eleanor and Richard were a lovely couple and down to earth. Plenty of walks in the area. Would definately recommend this property.

Fabulous property !

everything we needed for a lovely holiday!very well appointed!! Near to the lovely Welsh coastline !loved spending are time in the lovely Newquay!! Great supermarket just up the road!! lovely that we could take our dogs lovely walks around the property

Instructions getting there need to be updated.

Everything fantastic, would be nice if a dishwasher

This is one of the best holiday cottags we have ever stayed in!

Really friendly helpful hosts Fantastic facilities Great location for visting Mid Wales Just fabulous

A lovely comfortable cottage with a gated garden to keep dogs & children safe.

Comfy beds, sofa and chairs. We'll equipped kitchen. Possible improvements would be a bigger fridge. Very quiet area (except for the Greater Spotted Woodpecker in the garden!). Owners on hand if anything was needed.

Really nice place,the owners were lovely when we saw them,would stay again.

.and lovely bit of garden for our dogs

We had a fantastic stay in this beautiful cottage.

Very specious and comfy barn conversion. Beautiful and secured garden. Our dog loved it!! Owners are very helpful. Highly recommend!!

Superb barn with everything you need, great layout great hosts with 2 very friendly dogs.

Great base to explore the best wales has to offer

Lovely property and ideal for dogs.

Dog friendly walks and beaches nearby

Lovely cottage and enjoyed our stay.

Unfortunately this region of Wales was left with no water supplies following the cold weather and damaged mains, but our hosts kindly kept us well supplied with bottled water. The cottage was well kept and presented. The garden safely enclosed and perfect for the dog. My only criticism was the large front windows and door with no curtains (only a net curtain). Firstly the lack of privacy that presents at night time, but the dog could see everything and so would bark at the owners comings and goings. Because of the open plan layout we had to use furniture to block the dog in to a corner each night so she wouldn’t disturb anyone.

A comfortable property in a beautiful setting that had everything you needed for your stay, games for the children, a fully equipped kitchen & toiletries provided.

Thank you Richard and Eleanor

stunning cottage and we really enjoyed the area as its well placed to see the various areas of wales.

The large enclosed garden is perfect for dogs and the place is really comfortable. would definitely go back thank you

Lovely cottage in a quiet setting clean well maintained and equipped with everything you could possibly need plenty of space in bedrooms all with on suite Garden enclosed so dogs and kids are safe outside Very cosy we didn’t need to put on heating Owners were great friendly and welcoming I would strongly recommend a stay here and would love to come back

The property is outstanding and definately 1 of the best we have stayed in.

It has everything you need and more. We have already looked to book again next year. Thank you for a lovely relaxing stay.

Our expectations were exceeded.

The property, owners and environment all contributed to us having a wonderful, peaceful and relaxing week. If the following week had been free we would have asked to extend to two weeks. There was everything we needed and more besides. It was a holiday of very good memories.

Lovely cottage,home from home, the owners Mr and Mrs Clarke were lovely.

We had everything we needed. The sun lounges were appreciated in the hot weather. Thankyou for a lovely stay, will miss Roly and Bitsey.

The cottage was excellently presented with everything we required for our stay.

All the furniture and beds were very comfortable and modern but in keeping with the property. Had our weather been more favourable we would have enjoyed sitting out in the grounds far more than we were able as they were well kept and had sun, when it came out, to either the front or the rear with seating provided. There were lots of extras items in the property which would keep everybody entertained, games etc, as well as use of cycles and outdoor games, all supplied free of charge. In all a very enjoyable holiday.

We had a lovely week exploring the local area.

The accommodation was comfortable and large enough for two couples and a teenager to have plenty of space and privacy when needed. The property was clean and well equipped but it is in need of a fresh coat of paint in most areas. Whilst we didn’t watch much TV the lack of curtains on both sides of the room made it difficult to see the screen on a sunny evening. The owners were friendly and welcoming, making sure we had everything we needed for our holiday. We especially liked the daily visits from their two dogs!

Great cottage and lovely hosts

A lovely holiday had by all, facilities the garden was great for our dog, very well maintained and the feel of the place gave a really good vibe.

We had everything we needed, the hosts were on site but never too intrusive, and their two dogs loved their cuddles. The cottage was well placed to visit most of the south west of wales and made for some memorable days by the sea.

Everything you need for a relaxing countryside break, stunning coastline and forestry walks.

The cottage is a perfect place to relax after exploring the local area. Hosts are always happy to help. Would recommend.

Amazing.

Hosts and their dogs very friendly. Will definitely be going back.

PERFECT SPRING BREAK We have just had the best week at Cilgwyn Bach, the property is lovely, very warm, perfect for all our needs and was central to everything we wanted to do.

We will definitely be back and enjoy a breakfast looking out over the view. The owners and their 2 dogs were delightful I wish we had booked 2 weeks, we have come home very relaxed.

Lovely cosy cottage, everything provided for a comfortable stay.

Great size garden, secure for our dogs. Owners very friendly. Good location for visiting different areas in ceredigion. Shop within walking distance. Perfect break!

Probably the best cottage/barn we’ve stayed in, clean comfortable everything you need, bonus of the eggs for sale every morning.

Owners a lovely couple chatty and helpful with 2 friendly dogs that like to come and see you as you walk through the garden. Lovely spacious barn clean light and superb views out the back can’t recommend this place enough

Superbly located equidistant between Carmarthen and Cardigan it is an excellent base for exploring West Wales.

The cottage has every possible thing you could need and more and the underfloor heating, especially during a winter stay, was appreciated. It is set back off the village road, very quiet and peaceful with beautiful views out into the rear garden and hills beyond.

The house was brilliant.

In perfect condition and the location was great to access all the beaches. The enclosed garden was also perfect for our two dogs. They could run around we didn't have to worry about them wondering off. The owners were very friendly as were their two dogs. A really good holiday allround.

The listing needs to state that the cottage is NOT close to shops and pubs.

The only pub closes 4 days a week and the shop is bare

Lovely location, ideal for those who want to get away from everything.

Lampeter is a must to visit with its shops and the Shapla Indian restaurant is a must. Plenty of things in the garden shed for the kids to play with on the back lawn and a lovely country walk close by (come out of the gates of the main house turn right and just before the bypass bridge there's a small gate). The walks just over an hour and through a small holding where there's goats, sheep, pigs and horses. We did this twice daily as my 3 young boys loved meeting the animals.

Lovely cottage, has everything you could need and more !

The owners were so helpful yet respectful of our privacy. Our two dogs had all the freedom of the garden as it is totally escape proof. Would definitely return.

Absolutely gorgeous high-quality barn conversion, with everything to make it a home from home.

Lovely welcoming hosts. Stunning views. Great central location for exploring.

Loved our holiday cottage, everything was provided for us, and our hosts were excellent, would definitely recommend staying here.

Fabulous for a family but just as fabulous for 3 couples as all rooms have there own bathroom

Lovely Owners who live close by, never intrusive but always there, great for a chat.

Lots of extra little things like soaps etc. Would highly recommend and look forward to going back.

A clean and spacious cottage with very friendly hosts.

The garden was large and very secure and ideal for the dogs. We had a brilliant holiday and would recommend this cottage.

Close to the coast and countryside.

A beautiful barn conversion. Light and airy. Enclosed large garden - ideal for our four legged friend.

Beautiful house seating outside was very good hosts live next door very friendly couple would recommend this place we are thinking of going again

This holiday was the best ever holiday we had in the past years with Sykes!

! The barn conversion 'Cilgwyn Bach' would attrack anyone and it is so.... beautiful and the layout of the barn is so welcoming too!! The deco and the furnishings are of a high quality. My two dogs were so thrilled to run around the lovely enclosed garden at the back of the cottage. It gave us peace of mind to leave the dogs to enjoy themselves. We had barbecue and the weather too was in our favour lovely and sunny. Most of all the owners Richard and Elenor were so friendly and helpful.Their hospitality definitely stands out!! No doubt we would definitely be happy to re-book this cottage in the future. It was a lovely peaceful and fun holiday to all of us including the furries!

Excellent barn conversion, enjoyed our stay, great secure garden area for dogs will return in the future.

The owners are lovely and very helpful.

The property was very good and having a secure and safe space outside for our dog to enjoy was reassuring.

The accommodation was excellent as were the hosts - you have all the facilities you need, the accommodation is situated in a peaceful location set comfortably away from the owners' property, and the hosts are available if required.

Not many of the pubs that serve food in Llandysul were open when we visited ; the Half Moon for example was only open on Saturday evenings and Sunday lunchtimes. We ate at the Daffodil (a 10 minute drive away), the Bunch of Grapes in Newcastle St Emlyn (c20 minute drive), and the Llwyndafydd Inn (around 5 minutes' away). All were dog friendly and served good food with our favourite being The Daffodil. In terms of beaches we visited Llangrannog, Penbryn (take the coastal path to the beach from the car park rather than the road), New Quay, Mwnt (very picturesque), and Poppit Sands. All these beaches are dog friendly outside of 1st May to 30th September, but most are relatively small so best to visit close to low tide.

Property was really lovely as were the owners, very nice setting.

Very clean and tidy. Would definitely go back if we Holiday in the area again.

Extremely good barn conversion.

Very well kept and excellent facilities. The owners were very nice and welcoming and and left a few extras such as milk, sugar, tea, coffee etc. Would really recommend. Good lbase to visit surrounding areas.

Fantastic holiday.

Beautiful location, lovely owners and amazing accommodation.

Lovely comfortable barn in beautiful setting.

Plenty of beaches to visit and walks in lovely countryside, secure garden for dogs. Would love to go back after Covid virus crisis when more shops and pubs are open. Very enjoyable holiday.

Really nice friendly couple,very accommodating.

Everything you needed and no doubt the oweners would do their best to supply whatever you wanted. Large garden either for children or dogs to play in.Enjoyed our stay ,first rate.

Lovely accomodation beautiful surrond Would highly recommend!

!

This place was amazing.

The hosts were very friendly and accommodating and I would definitely stay here again. The back garden was perfect for our dogs and the town was a 2 minute walk away. The place was very clean, comfortable and decorated well. Thanks for a great stay!!

Nice welcome on arrival.

Cottage very spacious, all you could need provided.Nice size kitchen with easy to understand cooker! (Some i have had were very complicated to use ) 3 good size bathrooms with lots of towels .Bedrooms spacious. Beds comfy and can be singles or doubles .enough storage space and coat hangers . Comfortable suite in living area and netflicks on t.v . Only complaint about living area ,could do with a coffee table and we like to play d.v.d games and there was no player ! Books and games supplied and also a record player !. Large, totally enclosed garden with selection of outdoor games in shed . Great holiday would totally recommend this cottage

Lovely barn conversion in a good location.

Very well equipped and had everything we needed. Nice secure garden for the dog which was fab. Lots of beaches within a 25 min drive.

We had an amazing holiday staying in Llandysul.

The converted barn on the owners property is absolutely stunning and still like your own private retreat. The garden is brilliant and completely bomb proof. We have 2 large German Shepherds Axel and Skye and they loved it. Owners are really friendly and their 2 dogs are adorable and came and stayed in with us most of the week and played with our dogs. (Our choice of course) The beaches are a little drive away and are absolutely stunning. Local pubs are a walk away and are really friendly and welcoming to dogs. I would 100% recommend this place to stay.

It was like home from home everyday we could have wanted as there.

We loved our time there the owners were lovely and went above their expectations adding little touches to our stay. Our 2 dogs also loved their holiday the garden was perfect for them

The accommodation was excellent - the best we have stayed in.

Fresh eggs and vegetables available. Garden is lovely - safe for dogs, fully fenced.

Lovely modern cottage, very comfortable all you could wish for.

The enclosed garden was just what we needed for our dog. The owners very friendly. Great places to visit. The directions to the cottage were not quite right. Would definitely stay there again.

The Barn was just perfect, exactly as described on your website.

Suited our holiday requirements. Garden was completely dog friendly. Owners were close by to help if needed. All in all a great holiday retreat.

Owner very helpful and friendly, Holiday cottage/barn was fresh and spacious.

A few little bits like a dish washer and blinds on some of the windows as sun shining through wakes you up, would help, But very small points as it was what we expected overall

Had a brilliant holiday, accommodation was lovely, spacious, clean and the garden was brilliant, the owners were very friendly and welcoming and were always happy to help, they had thought of every need ie games for children, leaflets for walks, toiletries and much more, local pubs, places to eat and a nice walk down by the river all on your doorstep.

Super friendly owners with 2 lovely dogs, who enjoyed visiting our 2 dogs, the view from the back of the property were really nice and peaceful you could just sit and chill out doing not much of anything, I enjoyed my stroll down to the Half Moon public house most nights they have good ale and food and in walking distance, Was also a big fan of the underfloor heating, no tip toeing around on cold tiles.

All in all a really great break was a shame we had to go home.

Perfect accommodation, adults, kids and dogs all happy.

A wonderful weekend spent in this excellent converted barn which exceeded all expectations.

Clean, comfortable and the owners were extremely friendly. Everything you could possibly need and more. Ideal for children and dogs as the garden is completely enclosed, Max the dog was very happy as we're all the adults. A wonderful relaxing weekend.

The accommodation was excellent and close to Llandysul which is a short walk away with supermarket, pubs and various shops.

The barn is dog friendly with a sizeable enclosed garden which is safe for animals and small children. The owners have chickens and you can buy free range eggs from them, and they are delicious! Facilities in the barn are very good. A dishwasher would be a welcome addition, particularly for families.

The cottage is furnished to a high standard, ideally located for visiting the surrounding area with lots of walks on your doorstep.

The owners of the cottage are on hand and are extremely helpful and friendly. Well worth a visit.

Beautiful cottage, very welcoming.

Everything you need and dog friendly. We had a lovely Christmas holiday.

Beautiful cottage with all mod cons, in a lovely place.

The owners were very helpful.

Stunning property both inside and out.

Quiet and peaceful location. Plenty of places to visit and many good walks from the doorstep.and in the surrounding area.

Brilliant place to stay and chill out, really nice and friendly couple.

Would recommend this place to anyone the quality is first class. Will be going back.

Fantastic holiday-beautiful barn everything you could need-Ricky and Ellie were so friendly and helpful

Cottage facilities were excellent and extremely dog friendly.

Owners were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend the cottage for any dog owners as well as anyone else.
