    Only 1 thing was I couldn't use the washing liquid to wash clothes as allergic, so had to find a launderette. perhaps just a say that's the brand only to be used! No complaints everything was perfect.

    Loved how it made you feel at home comfortable and so relaxed the location was peaceful and beautiful. Everything you need in one place just perfect!

    This was a minor niggle but if we opened windows, particularly at night, quite a few insects came visiting!

    We had a wonderful week at Brynarth Cottages. We spent a lot of time in the conservatory, attached to the cottage, overlooking the garden and views of the countryside. We enjoyed watching the birds and squirrels from the garden & conservatory. The peace and quietness of the place had a very relaxing effect. There was no light pollution so we were treated to a stunning clear sky full of stars. The cottage itself was very comfortable with everything we needed (including a hammock which we enjoyed using). On arrival we found a homemade loaf of bread, butter, a jar of Welsh marmalade, a jug of milk and a pack of Welsh cakes had been left for us. A lovely treat after a long drive. There were also a few teabags, small tins of coffee and sugar and some oil provided. The location of the cottage meant it felt like we were in the middle of nowhere yet within an average drive of an hour we accessed the Welsh mountains (the mountain roads provided stunning scenery, they were however, very narrow and high in places!), the Dyfi Nature Reserve, estuary and beach (the estuary drive is very scenic and the walk along the beach from Aberdyfi to the Irish Sea was stunning), The Devil's Bridge and Waterfalls (the waterfalls were amazing after the the previous days rain we'd had, the full walk is a challenge but worth it even with the nerve racking descent of "Jacobs Ladder"!) and the seaside attractions of Aberystwyth were fun.

    The cottage is dark, so electric lights were necessary all day (in early September). We self catered all week, and the kitchen is small.

    The hosts were very responsive and helpful. The cottage was well provided with equipment, I particularly appreciated the hot water bottle! Everything was clean, and well laid out. We liked the games room.

    It was a bit too remote for us; the nearest town is a 25-minute drive, and we had no phone reception when at the cottage or 4G until about 10 minutes away. The games room was ok; it could do with updating or renewing the pool table and balls. The shower attachment in the upstairs bath did not work (no pressure). However, there is a shower downstairs that works well.

    Very clean on arrival with fresh flowers on tables. A few food basics were supplied with a nice welcome note. The grounds are large, and you can walk around freely. Loved the fire pit and private garden. Good WiFi. Having a washing machine and tumble dryer in the games room was very handy. Gareth was very nice, we felt welcomed. A very good supply of everything you could need for your stay and eco-friendly too.

    Crunched the car a few times on a bumpy driveway and we couldn't get the heating to work after a cold, rainy walk, but the positives far outweighed any tiny negatives.

    Beautiful property, well maintained. Lovely owners and a nice games room with pool table etc.

    Nothing at all!

    The property was not only exceptionally clean and comfortable but was in the most tranquil, beautiful setting, with a garden overlooking hills and a wonderful sunset. The hosts who live on site were really on the ball, warm and communicative but also left me to my own devices and it felt like I was in the middle of nowhere, with no-one around, which was just what I was after. I arrived late in the evening, to a fresh loaf of bread, welsh cakes and marmalade and milk in the fridge. The cottage had everything I needed and is set in beautifully maintained ground in a stunning part of the country.

    The road to the Cottage is very small and there are a lot of curves, something we as foreigners had to get used to. Might be more difficult with large car.

    Hud-y-Machlud is a very lovely Little Cottage. We loved to watch the squirrels play in the garden, and smell the roses at the door. The kitchen had all you could need for preparing a meal. The whole cottage is lovingly decorated with small details. The bread, tea, marmelade, butter, Welsh cakes and fresh flowers, made us feel very welcome . We would absolutely recommend Brynarth Country Cottages!

    Everything was perfect!!!!

    Wonderful place. If you want to take a break from the busy world, go there. Silence peace. Wonderful nature visible from every window. A garden created with love for nature. Lots of different birds and flowers that make every moment more enjoyable. Spring water straight from the tap. Clean interiors. Comfortable beds with fresh bedding. Everything you need in the kitchen. Lots of attractions nearby. The hosts were wonderful. They live next door and create an atmosphere that provides guests with a comfortable stay. Each apartment has own garden and access to relaxation on the property land. Benches and seats in various places allow you to admire nature. Fresh air, very quiet and dark nights. Warm in the apartments. Heating very well regulated. The temperature is lower at night and higher in the morning, which makes waking up a pleasure. Woolen blankets, good quality towels, tasteful country-style accessories. Lots of pillows and extra blankets. Great internet.

    There is no mobile reception in the cottage. Normally that wouldn't be a problem, but our car broke down and we had to rely on a taxi service to get around. The flat does have a good wifi signal, but our phones couldn't handle wifi calling. It was a minor setback under the circumstances.

    An all round wonderful place to stay with easy access to surrounding towns and attractions if you have a vehicle. The hosts are helpful and accommodating, the facilities were excellent and the cottage was clean and tidy.

    Next time we’ll remember to pack dressing gowns for using the downstairs (second) toilet & shower.

    The location of this holiday let is beautiful and very peaceful yet only 10miles from the centre of Aberystwyth. The cottage had everything we and the dogs needed for the week and was comfortable, warm, clean and well presented. The hosts live on site and are on hand if needed but respectful of guests’ privacy.

    The road to the property! But we got used to it. Could have done with larger doormats front and back to keep shoes/boots and dog off the floor when entering after wet walk.

    Property was clean, warm and comfortable. Had everything we needed. Good games room to keep the teen occupied!

    Absolutely recommend staying here. This was my second visit first was under different owners and was a B&B. This time was as cottage hire. Both times I have loved it. Peaceful, beautiful and relaxing. Be aware that it is a bit of a drive from anywhere along very narrow country roads, but we’ll worth the journey. The new owners are as friendly and helpful as the old ones. They are a lovely family and will do whatever they can to help you. The standard of the cottages is to a very high spec and spotless. You have all you need to make your stay easy. A well equipped kitchen extra bedding pillows and towels. We received a lovely welcome plate of homemade bread, fresh eggs from the chickens on the garden butter and milk. A really lovely touch Plan to stay next year Thank you for the most wonderful stay
