    Once comment would be that we could not find the ash bucket for the fire, so was unable to have a fire on the second evening. We only realised quite late so did not want to disturb the owner though I’m sure this could have been sorted and luckily we were not cold.

    This property was in a beautiful setting. The property itself was also beautifully decorated and the underfloor heating was a nice touch.

    We got so used to keeping the heating down at home that it was a little warm at times but that's just personal (and financial) preference. Although it's a bit corny we were very sad to leave

    So quiet yet easy to get to. Beautifully spacious and comfortable. We instantly fell in love with the whole experience. Very easy to get up and go exploring Cardigan Bay and Pembrokeshire. Jon gave detailed instructions before and was helpful during our stay. He just made the whole thing so easy. Would definitely stay again

    Driving up the lane to Cuckoo Barn was beautiful, a real wow as you came over the crest of the hill, the sun set it off perfectly and then on entering the property it was just as much of a wow too. The barn was renovated and kept to a very high standard and with lots of tasteful character and all the facilities you need including excellent wifi, its difficult not to sound OTT but we loved it. The location was stunning and worth the extra few minutes coming out of town, if you want to treat yourself then this is it. One afternoon Jon called in to check everything was OK and was very charming, all the information/communication regarding the stay was excellent, highly recommend.

    fantastic property, comfortable and in a very pitoresc area!!! We absolutly loved beeing there and ever wanting to return to the area that will be the place to book again and again. Having a coffee early morning, in a comfortable chair, in front of the big windows, watching the hills and the very calm sheep… what would you want more for a relaxing stay? clean, spacious, really good sleep, well equipped kitchen… writing is makes me want to go back there tomorrow! Thank you to the lovely owners for sharing such an amasing place!

    Nothing. The location and property is ideal. Be mindful that the property is 2.5 miles up hill from the main town via a single track road. However, with a car or if you are a keen cyclists its not a problem at all.

    Perfect location matched by great weather during our stay. All the facilities we could need were available. Probably the most likeable was the comfort and feeling of escape.

    I would have preferred more privacy as the back of the property is overlooked by the owners house and an adjoining house.

    The house is well equipped and comfortable. The owner was very friendly.
