Yr Hen Llaethdy Reviews

Absolutely lovely place, spotlessly clean would definitely stay here again
Great place , visited in November , so didn't get to see much of the farm , despite being a working farm it was very quiet , and with a private courtyard , covered outdoor seating and hot tub , perfect for the Welsh weather. Inside is something else , a fully equipped kitchen, large lounge area and two generous bedrooms, everything was clean and comfortable .We were greeted on arrival and shown round then left to ourselves , perfect for us . Our hosts were inconspicuous , but there when we needed them , Thanks for a great stay.
We had an absolutely great stay with our two sausage dogs. The house was immaculately clean and tidy, and had everything we needed for a weeks stay. The house is beautifully decorated and cow themed! The welcome pack was great and included some lovely Welsh food and snacks, and even included a dog pack. We will definitely be recommending this to our friends and family, we had a 1010 stay here! Genuinely couldnt fault anything.
Graham
Could not recommend enough! Everything was just perfect for us. From being on the farm.. we loved interacting with the cows and the sheepdogs Jess & Meg to the spacious cottage itself. The rooms were beautifully decorated and the hot tub was a huge hit with our 10 year old and us! Joy and Rod were the most perfect hosts, they made us feel extremely comfortable and relaxed for our entire time with them. The Welcome pack was extremely thoughtful, even our dog had gifts to welcome her to the cottage. And don't worry if you forget things like shampoo or teabags, because the supplies that Joy and Rod have put in place to cater for such scenarios are amazing! 100 recommend. We will definitely be returning!
Beautiful place, lovely hosts. The peace we we searching for. Such a wonderful area to explore. Thank you!
Lesley
The cottage was lovely home from home. Everything you could want and more .host were lovely people. And the welcome pack had so much in it even one for the dogs.we loved the hot tub and waking to the sound's of the cows in the morning. Would we go back most definitely.
Nothing seems to be too much trouble, visited for the 3rd time to celebrate our wedding anniversary, cottage was decorated to celebrate and an anniversary gift was left for us, absolutely lovely cottage, every kitchen appliance you can think of is provided, will be back in the future.
Heather
Wow! What a find! The cottage is much larger than it appears in the photos, and beautifully presented inside and out and spotlessly clean. We were very lucky with the weather over the bank holiday weekend, we brought our portable bbq with us and had dinner each evening outside in the lovely garden, which the sun didn't appear to leave all day! The hot tub is huge, and was very much enjoyed. The owners have obviously put a lot of thought and love into making the place the perfect spot to chill out and enjoy the surroundings of the beautiful Welsh countryside. There is even a patio heater for chillier evenings if you want to enjoy more time outdoors. We drove out to Poppit sands about 25mins, where our pooch enjoyed exploring the sand dunes, and to Cenarth Falls 12 mins for a riverside and woodland walk, and a little splash about in the shallow waters beside the bridge. Just perfect, we cannot wait to return
Had an amazing time here, the decor was homely and very well presented. The kitchen was more than fully equipped and the facilities were spot on. Joy and Rod really made us feel welcome and left us all to it to enjoy. Would 1000 recommend this place and I already have to family and friends !
Edmond
I stayed here over Christmas with my family and it was a beautiful experience. Joy had decorated the place throughout for Christmas and there was a lovely Christmas hamper full of presents for all of us. Yr Hen Llaethdy was one of the cosiest accommodations we ever stayed. It was clean and spacious. The location is perfect for peace and quiet in the countryside. We all had a fantastic time here and will be coming back. Edmond and Kristine
We had a fantastic time here. Outstanding cottage, immaculate interior, lovely courtyard with hot tub. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend.
Michael
I would recommend staying here to anybody, especially if you have dogs. Everything has been thought about in order to make your stay as comfortable and as easy as possible. The property was perfectly clean upon arrival, and our host was incredibly friendly, taking the time to show us around and explain everything before leaving us to enjoy our stay. The hot tub provides that luxury experience that everyone wants from a holiday cottage, and the rest of the amenities really made it feel as though you were getting loads of value for money. We will definitely be coming back!
Tracey
This cottage was absolutely stunning. It was lovely and everything was provided. There was a welcome pack on arrival which was such a thoughtful touch and even a welcome pack for our doggy. The cottage was very private with fully enclosed courtyard. Picturesque surroundings and only a relatively short drive to coastal resorts if Aberporth and New Quay.
Antony
Absolutely fantastic stay at this cottage. The cottage was perfect for us as a family and had everything we needed. The cottage was on a working farm and the owners were right next door. They met us on arrival and and talked us through everything. The cottage was absolutely spotless. Location wise it is a 20 minute drive to the nearest beach Aberporth. Other beaches like tresaith, Poppit sands or llangranog are a few minutes further away. Being woken up to the sound of cows in the morning is such fun and our dog loved being on a working farm. The dog wasable to use the fields to go circa walk and to do her business when the cows were not around. What really makes this cottage special are the little touches left by the owners on arrival. I do not have anything negative to say as there really are no negatives. The hot tub rounds things off after a busy day out and about. I really recommend this cottage. Believe me you wont be disappointed.
Pramila
We had a really wonderful time. The current photos of the listing on Sykes really does not do it justice. I expected a working farm to be a little noisy in the mornings but it was so quite and peacefull. Covered hot tub and outdoor seating was fantastic as we did have a fair bit of rain and it made no difference at all. The owners were lovely and even came to rescue me when I got a bit lost. Everything was five star, it couldn't have been better. Many thanks.
Yr Hen Llaethdy Is a delightful, comfortable and well equipped property. We found it spotlessly clean and VERY well appointed, every conceivable needs seems to have been thought of and catered for. The facilities provided were, quite possibly, the best we have every experienced. The hosts were very welcoming and the welcome items were thoughtful and appreciated. The property is well situated as a base for exploration of South West Wales. We explored from Aberystwyth to the Gower peninsula with no problems whatsoever. Everyone we came into contact with were delightful, very friendly and welcoming. We could not recommend Yr Hen Llaethdy more highly.
Fabulous cottage and lovely hosts. Highly recommended.
Stephen
This is by far the most well equipped cottage we have ever been to. The attention to detail is second to none . Joy our lovely hostess went above and beyond to make our stay for my partners 50 th birthday break. We loved the hot tub and everything we needed was provided. We can recommend this cottage to anybody.
Lovely cottage and area 5 star.
Thank you for an absolutely brilliant holiday. We loved everything about this place the welcome, the decor including all the Easter decorations, the layout, the private garden, the hot tub, the welcome pack and the farm. Nothing we would add nothing we would change.Thoroughly recommend and I say that nervous it becomes too busy we cant come back
Christopher
Absolutely fantastic cottage only bettered by the hosts. Rod and Joy went above and beyond to make our stay even more special. The area is stunning and the coastline breathtaking. We leave with precious memories we will treasure forever and cant wait to return. Thank you
Andrew
One of if not the best property we have ever stayed in. It had everything you could ever need and also was in a lovely location on the farm. Lovely hosts and total peace and quiet. Had a lovely welcome pack on our arrival. Will definately go back here. Totally recommend this property. Andy and Jeanette Cornwall
Jessica
Amazing cottage with the best hosts. Couldn't fault it and will definitely return in the future.
Natalie
The pictures for this cottage still don't do it justice! Every detail has been carefully thought out so you have everything you need, even down to books containing all the best coastal walks for the area. It was warm and cozy and beautifully designed an absolute gem! The private courtyard garden area was great with the hot tub! Joy and rod were very friendly and helpful, it was a pleasure to meet them and a pleasure to stay there.
Absolutely wonderful. I dont feel the photos do the cottage justice so don't scroll by! It was still decorated for Christmas and was just gorgeous. The cottage has everything and more you could ever need. The welcome hamper was exceptional as was the private courtyard and hot tub where we welcomed the new year in. Communication with the owners was faultless. Highly recommend as somewhere to recharge and reconnect.
Fabulous cottage and fabulous owners. Joy and Rod were fantastic. Didnt want for anything in this warm and cosy cottage. Hot tub was amazing. Dogs loved the walks and surrounding areas. Highly recommended.
We have never been so pleasantly surprised by gifts as we were welcomed into this house. A beautiful house, clean, equipped with everything you need and even more. Privacy guaranteed. Very good hosts.
Miriam
ABSOLUTELY Wonderful. Everything you could possibly ask for and more all delightfully presented, and the best ever welcome treats. away from Yr Hen Llaethdy many places to visit locally, Newcastle Ellyn don't miss the castle, worth paying the parking and then walk into town. The iron age fort Castle Henlys, Cenarth Falls and Popping Sands are just a few. Further afield St Davids and the small harbour at Fishguard lower. ready to return to the lovely private courtyard garden and hot tub
Lovely house, nice people, great setting, recommend to anyone seeking a quiet, comfortable and inviting break.
Rachel
We had a lovely week in this cottage, nothing was too much trouble, Joy and Rod were fantastic hosts, it was lovely to relax in the peace and quiet of the countryside. The hot tub was an added bonus for relaxing my aching bones after a day out.
Holiday cottage was home from home with so many extrasQuiet location but easy ... Holiday cottage was home from home with so many extrasQuiet location but easy travelling distance to anenitiesOwners Joy and Rod were so pleasant and helpful
Only a negative the internet in the cottage is very week, there is no router in the actual cottage. Being on a farm means listening to the animals raising early in the morning! Beds are too soft, but that's a personal preference. Overall the cottage is fabulous, very well equipped and the owners are very welcoming. We had a great week away with our kids and dogs.
Hayley
We had a wonderful experience staying at Yr Hen Llaethdy. The cottage was homely & fully equipped with everything you could need. Joy & Rod were amazing hosts & provided so many extra touches to make our stay special. The farm expeeience was lovely, as a family with a toddler they welcomed us to meet their animals which was great. Our 2 year old loved it. As did us adults. The location was also perfect to explore the surrounding beaches by a short drive which were beautiful. Highly recommend visiting Treisaith & Mwnt. We will be returning after having a fantastic experience
Lauren
Cottage had everything we needed and more. The pictures do not do this cottage justice. Perfect for total relaxation.
Rosemary
The cottage was beautifully presented , the owners strive to make everything perfect. The setting is peaceful, but the price you pay for this is reliance on the car. There is nothing , such as a shop or a pub , that is within walking distance. That aside , there are so many beautiful places to visit. Small seaside towns , Aberporth, and Tresaith are quiet with lovely walks nearby. New Quay, is busier but great for dolphin spotting. The Welsh Wildlife trust at Cilgerran is worthy of a visit. Newcastle Emlyn is 3 miles away , handy for supplies and several pubs . We ate twice at The Bunch Of Grapes and were very happy with the food. We felt very spoilt in our cottage , could find no fault , the hot tub was a treat that we both enjoyed.
One of the best places we have stayed. The hot tub is great and the owners very welcoming and friendly and go above and beyond expectations. Would definitely consider this cottage again.
Lovely well needed stay at this well presented , clean and comfortable converted game building. Hosts were great , welcome pack was a unexpected treat and the level of detail within the property was fantastic. There were clear instructions for every appliance and winding down in the hot tub after long walks in the day was well received. Would definitely recommend
Rebecca
Brilliant time and everything you need! This place far exceeded our expectations and the pictures dont give the place justice. Situated in a lovely part of wales, there is plenty to do and explore. The hosts are very thoughtful and provide everything you could ever ask for! We would recommend this to anyone looking for a place to stay!
Stayed in Yr Hen for a week all l can say is we loved it. The location was suitable to visit a number of different beaches and small towns l never realised how pretty that part of the country was. The cottage itself was amazing everything you need is there it was so comfortable we felt at home within an hour hot tub lovely on a cold night and very private sheltered from the elements. Rod and Joy the owners are lovely and made us feel very welcome. Would highly recommend staying in Yr Hen for a quite relaxing break so hope we get to visit again.
This property was lovely. Rod and joy the owners were lovely and very helpful. They left a welcome pack and even got me a birthday card and present for my birthday. The cottage was fully equipped. The garden area is fully enclosed for dogs. Hot tub was under cover with the rain so was lovely sitting in it no matter what the weather. Would certainly go back again.
