Reviews
"Stayed here for my husbands 60th birthday All I can say is excellent in every way. Joy and Roy were so welcoming and pleasant. They even decorated the house and baked him a birthday cake. Hot tub was excellent. Fab place for dogs. Would definitely recommend this place and certainly will be returning"
"We keep coming back to this lovely cottage and are never disappointed. The owners, Rod and Joy, are so friendly, ensuring that everything is perfect. There is always a lovely welcome gift and this time was no exception with a stunning Christmas hamper for us to enjoy. The cottage itself is beautifully presented with all the mod-cons. The log burner ensures the evenings are cosy (not that it's ever been cold) and the hot-tub provides the perfect end to any day. The surrounding area is beautiful with lots of walks, especially on the beaches. Poppit Sands and Mwnt are our favourites (and the dogs love them too!). We can't recommend this cottage enough. We will definitely be revisiting soon."
"We stayed here for a long weekend. Had an amazing time. The cottage is stunning and has everything you can think off. You literally just turn up with clothes and food. Everything else is there including robes, bath towels, tea towels and all the clean equipment. My little boy loved the games, jigsaw puzzles and colouring. We have already booked for our summer holiday next year. "
"Just had our second holiday in this delightful luxury cottage. Still a perfect escape from the real world with internet just incase you need to keep in contact. Sitting in the hot tub whilst it was snowing was a great experience. clean and very well maintained this cottage is warm and you don't really need the fire but for effect. Thank you Joy and Rod for creating this great cottage."
"Myself and my partner Caroline stayed here for a week in November. Both Rod and Joy made us welcome from the start. The accommodation was superb clean and woderfully decorated. Although on a working farm that did not disturb the peace and relaxation we enjoyed whilst we were there. Even though we had to cut short our holiday due to unforseen circumstances both Rod and Joy were very understanding and couldn't do enough for us a truly wonderful couple and I thank them both immensely."
"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."
"What a beautiful cottage! We felt spoilt the moment we stepped through the door. Joy and Rod had left a beautiful Christmas hamper and presents for our children. The cottage is fully equipped, with everything above and beyond what you would expect. A lovely area to stay in, lots of lovely beaches to explore."
"yr Hen Llaethdy is a beautiful cottage,equipped with everything you could possibly need, the 3D tvo and hot tub are a special treat and the owners Joy and Rod are the nicest hosts.Newcastle Emlyn is a lovely little town with lots of interesting shops and cafes,the riverside walks are pretty and just right for dog walkingFor the day out St Davids is well worth a visit.."
"Amazing well equipped comfortable cottage with hot tub, private garden and log fire. Situated on a farm with animals next door and across the drive kids will love this place as well as parents. The private garden with hot tub and seating undercover (lots of knee rugs for cooler evening) provides a great space to relax and eat in all weathers. The cottage has good underfloor heating with thermostats in each room for comfort. A large bathroom with whirlpool bath and large double shower cubicle. I suggest you will return from this holiday feeling your kitchen is just not up to scratch as there is every gadget and gizmo imaginable. Joy and Rod provide a welcome pack which exceeds all expectations (I am now addicted to Tregroes chocolate waffle biscuits.). The furnishings and comfort of this cottage is well above average and nothing is too much trouble for the owners. My husband and i would describe this cottage as rare and exquisite like Welsh Gold."
"Lovely well equipped cottage on a real working farm with lots of animals for those like us who love them, great friendly hosts and fantastic accommodation, well located for exploring cardigan bay area, hot tub and wood burner make cold evenings much cosier."
"Our second stay in less than 12 months and I'm so glad we gave in to the pressure from our 2 boys! Joy and Rod are the most wonderful, considerate hosts; lovely welcome hamper again and nice touches like Yankee candles in the lounge and robes for nipping to and from the hot tub. The cottage is beautifully appointed and warm, even without lighting the fire. Very comfy beds and good quality linens. We love sitting and eating outdoors, even in the winter, so the chiminea and fire pit were well used and obviously the hot tub is just heaven on earth. The surrounding area is beautiful, particularly the stunning coastline and you can get everything you need in Newcastle Emlyn, less than 10 minutes away. We will definitely be back again at some point in the future."
"From the very first moment we stepped inside this holiday cottage to the very last second we left we loved it so much. The property is beautifully furnished with every need catered for. The cottage is on a working farm so you can see donkeys and cows but when you are in the cottage you forget about all of this. The hot tub is a lovely extra and a nice way to relax after exploring the many seaside towns and secluded beaches and coves. We enjoyed the area so much we intend to go back next year. Would I re commend this property? Yes. 100%. A great cottage and location for a wonderful family holiday."
"My husband was really keen to book this cottage but I was a little reluctant because I didn't feel it would be right for our boys. I couldn't have been more wrong. Joy and Rod are brilliant hosts, providing a very generous welcome pack. The cottage is beautifully appointed; very comfortable beds, nice bed linen and towels, a very well equipped kitchen, lovely bathroom and the hot tub and 3D TV are great extras. The area has some stunning beaches and good value days out for families. The boys (7&9) loved the farm and Rod was good with them, allowing them to feed the animals. We've already checked to see if we could go back for our summer holiday but the cottage is booked. We will definitely be back though!"
"We have just returned from a week at Yr Hen Llaethdy. We were greeted by the owners who were very welcoming. The cottage is extremely well appointed and we found it to be the perfect base for exploring all west Wales has to offer. After days out we found the cottage very comfortable and relaxing, the hot tub being a great feature. Will defiantly return."
"This is the second time we have been to Yr Hen Llaethdy and loved it both times. Situated adjacent to the owners' farmhouse it remains private, with help to hand if needed (not that we did), and a very warm welcome from the outset. There is no expense spared in the furnishings or comfort with everything we needed to hand. The hot tub is a favourite, and the canopy means that meals outside are lovely even when its a bit chilly or damp. This suits us because we like to be a little remote but not too far from local amenities and attractions."
"We decided on this barn as our honeymoon. It was perfect. The barn, the surroundings, the garden..... Everything!!! We took our little pug Colin and the garden was perfect for him. It is fully enclosed so he could wander around. Although it is a working farm you do not get disturbed. I have seen some negative comments about the wifi. We didn't even try it as we were on holiday and had no need for it. Joy and rod were always there when needed but didn't intrude. I would highly recommend this holiday let to anyone. And one last thing... Buy the eggs!"
"We stayed at this beautiful barn conversion mid- August, with two children aged 8 & 16 so it's not easy finding somewhere they will both like. The location is very remote but this only adds to the feeling you away from it all.Surrounded by cattle,donkeys and other farm animals it's a brilliant location for people who enjoy wildlife and love being outside. The barn itself is stunning, no expense is spared the kids loved jumping in the hot tub in the evening then playing on the swing in the lovely courtyard while I cooked our evening meal in the massive kitchen. The bedrooms are spotless and extremely comfortable.There is a utility room great for muddy wellies and washing clothes.The main lounge is lovely with a 3D TV and a wood burning stove which was gorgeous crackling away at night. As for things to do there's loads, newcastle emlyn itself is so pretty with lovely tea rooms and gift shops. New Quay is about 30 mins away a lovely seaside town with dolphin spotting boat trips. Folly Farm is around 50 mins away but a fantastic day out for kids and adults alike. The owners were so kind leaving my daughters a goody bag filled with biscuits,chocolate, sweets and jam which they were thrilled with. We cannot wait to return it was so relaxing and stress free."
"We had a great week in this cottage, lovely cozy cottage done up to a very high standard, we really couldnt fault it. The only thing that let it down for us was that it was too remote, we couldnt walk anywhere, ie a pub or the next village, you have to get in the car, albeit not a very long drive away. Owners lovely and didnt interfere, but always on hand should you require anything. As this cottage is set on a working farm, its a great way to get first hand experience of how a farm is run and we were lucky enough to meet a new born foul that was 12 hours old. They welcome you to wander all round the farm to say hello to all the animals ."
"This was our first family holiday in the UK and wow it was great. From the minute we stepped into the barn we knew we would have a good week. I am a bit "fussy" when it comes to properties and cleanliness etc but I needn't have worried, it was the cleanest and most luxurious property we have stayed in in a long time. We loved the hot tub, 3d television and the massive shower to name but a few. The kitchen was enormous and had everything you'd ever need to practice your culinary skills. It was reassuring to have an enclosed garden as with small children it can be a worry about them wandering off into the farm. We all loved saying hello to the animals daily and Rod (property owner) was even kind enough to show us around the farm and take us on a short ride to his nearby field to see his sheep and lambs! Although it is a working farm once the doors are closed the house is sound proof so the kids and us slept very well in the huge beds. There is plenty to do in the local area from stunning beaches with seals to theme parks, castles etc. the list is endless! Wifi in the property is a little hit and miss but what do you expect in the middle of the country, we were there to holiday after all and if we wanted to spend all day in he internet we'd have stayed at home. Thanks to Rod and Joy for making us feel so at home. I'm sure we'll be back!"
"When you first view this property nothing really stands out, but when you entae then practically everything stands out. It has been veryu well thought out and no expence has been spared, but that does not mean that it is not cosy and hoely and even though we have a dog we did not feel that the dog shopuld not have been there. The owners were very friendly and did everything in their [powers to make our stay a pleasant one. plenty of places to visit in relatively close proximity but very nice to come back to the peace and quiet of the farm"
"Friendly welcome, comfortable, spacious, well equipped property."
"This cottage was beautiful and one had the feelimg that no expense had been spared in equipping it. The setting is lovely and ' farmy' and the owners very helpful and thoughtful. Altogether an excellent experience!"
"My 18 year old daughter is studying for A levels and we picked this cottage as it was the only one we found with WIFI. It doesn't have it. Excuses didn't help, there is no wifi. Left early with no refund as owners didn't care."
