Very well equipped cottage and super dog friendly location, with a very secure back garden area and lovely walks from the door step. The hot tub was a great way to relax even when it rained,

Amazing family get away!!
Arrived to a warm welcome from Ray after getting a little lost. Cottage is beautiful from the moment you walk in, easy access for my mum who needs a scooter to get about. Plenty of space for us all and our 2 dogs. Living room homely and spacious, dining table big enough for us all to sit around for a family meal. Kitchen well equipped for cooking all meals. Hot tub wall used by use all and situated in a lovely closed in garden for the dogs. Bedrooms beautiful and spacious, bathrooms very modern. The whole place was spotless when we got there and bedrooms all made up with towels placed nicely on each bed.
We had a little gifts from the free roaming chickens, a dozen fresh eggs which were great for a first morning breakfast.
Dawn and Ray made us feel like family the whole time we were there, nothing was too much trouble for them. They made us all feel very welcome.
Even with Dawn having a horse show the weekend we were there we weren’t disturbed in any way.
Myself and the family would definitely recommend this lovely little homely cottage and we all thank Dawn and Ray for their hospitality and kindness during our stay xx

wonderful Xmas stay
we had a peaceful xmas break , 11 of us in total when all gathered together . Dawn and Ray made us feel very welcome from start to finish , nothing was too much trouble , they went out of their way to make it an extra special break for us , and whatever we asked for they supplied gladly , we were never made to feel awkward in asking for anything . The cotttage is very homely and they decorated it with a festive feel including a xmas tree with all beautiful decorations when we arrived . All the rooms are very spacious and comfortable , the log burner was put to good use , a nice cozy touch to the stay in the evenings ..We made good use of the hot tub placed outside , would definitely recommend a stay here , winter , summer or autumn , we didnt take the opportunity to check out the location , we were happy to just have a cozy winter stay enjoying xmas with family and the kitchen was plenty big enough for large families .. thanks Dawn and Ray for your wonderful hospitality ,,,

Fantastic for large families with disabilities
Our very large family stayed here this week and had a wonderful time.
We were greeted by Ray with a bottle of wine and an open invitation to the wheelchair friendly treehouse, swings and trampoline he had built in his garden. He also welcomed us to visit their stables and fishing lakes. If the weather had been kinder we would have made far more use of them.
The large living room and spacious kitchen housed us all comfortably and had everything we needed to prepare large meals. The rooms were clean and well kept and the towels and beds made when we arrived was a lovely touch. Three modern bathrooms meant no queuing for the loo/shower/bath and the private decked garden with hot tub was amazing!
We had daily visits from a gorgeous little one eyed cat named sooty who liked to bring us presents and a cheeky chocolate Labrador who's fond of crumpets and sausages!
Despite being a working farm we were never disturbed by noise and the place was so well insulated and protected from sound.
Thank you for a lovely week :-)

Fantastic
The whole family (11 of us ) ages varying from 13yrs to 70 yrs spent the bank holiday weekend here for an 18th birthday . The cottage is spacious , clean , beautifully decorated and the owners have thought of everything.The added extras such as the log burner and use of the hot tub made the cottage even more of a treat. The poor weather did not bother us at all because the cottage was so cosy and comfortable . It also has enough room so everyone can escape to their own space if needed. A wonderful retreat made even more special by the hosts Thank you .

Superb, spacious and relaxing holiday cottage
My wife and I stayed here with our parents and our 3 springer spaniels. The cottage is well laid out, spacious and relaxing. The hot tub was a lovely treat and our beds were all very comfy. We were made to feel really welcome and our stay was very relaxing. We were pleased that the garden was fully enclosed for the dogs and that the accommodation was comfortable, tastefully finished and everything we needed was there.Great local beaches nearby. New Quay well worth a visit.
