“What a wonderful place to spend the weekend!”

The detailed instructions made it very easy to find Delfryn and we were greeted by a glorious vase of tulips and some delicious local waffles and Welsh cakes; the complementary coffee, tea, eggs, butter, milk and bread were also most welcome after a long drive. The cottage is delightfully rustic - but with all the necessary mod cons and good WiFi connections! It was great to have a woodburner to use when we had a chilly evening and it was easy to light with the kit provided. We loved the fabulous views and the beautiful hillside garden and enjoyed visiting some amazing local places. We can’t wait to make a return visit very soon!

“We loved Delfryn but:- the house was dirty with cobwebs and dust.”

We could live with some of this but NOT in the kitchen. There was only half a toilet roll, very little kindling and no fire lighters when we arrived. The weather was cold and, although the heating was good, it did go off during the evenings and we had to keep turning it back on (perhaps a thermostat issue?). Finally the drive is VERY steep. We were worried that any snow and ice would strand our cars at the bottom. As it was we chose to speak to neighbours and park higher up. The situation with the drive should be clearly explained, especially to winter tenants.

“Good morning, had a lovely stay at delfryn, just a couple of things I would like to mention, firstly the lack of a freezer, whilst there is a fridge at the property, as a self catering property where people will eat in, a freezer would be a good addition to keep supplies from going off.”

Also whilst it is marketed as pet friendly, and I know the description does mention about the garden being steep and open, if you have dogs it is nice for them to run around as they would at home, but here you can't as sheep and cattle nearby.

Take a seat in the snug, where a woodburning stove awaits to warm you through the cooler months, while the lounge provides an additional delightful space to kick back and relax with panoramic views of the Melindwr valley.

After allowing the budding chef to cook up a storm, head outside to the private sloping garden, featuring a lawn, patio and furniture for a spot of alfresco dining and evening drinks; admire the stunning views and embrace the peace and tranquillity of the Welsh countryside.

Red kites are a common sight from the garden terrace!

As the evening draws to a close, head upstairs to wind down in the corner bath, completing your evening routine before hunkering down in one of three bedrooms, all wonderfully presented and comprising of a super-king-size, double and bunks, ideal for familial groups.

In the morning, begin your adventure at nearby Bwlch Nant Yr Arian where you can gaze at the wonder that is the red kites that are fed by the lake every day at 2pm in winter (GMT) and at 3pm in summer (BST).

The centre also offers fantastic mountain bike trails and a couple of these trails can be accessed directly from the village of Goginan; you can cycle straight from the house and avoid the busy carpark and tariff.

There is a shed to store bikes in safely on the first lawned terrace in the garden and a garden hose for washing bikes down, situated at side of the house.

In the village there are clearly marked footpaths and trails which allow you to explore the beauty of the Cambrian mountains.

The village is also home to a communal wooden library from which you can swap/take books.

Then take a short drive to Aberystwyth, a vibrant seaside town, offering an abundance of activities for all ages, from a variety of cafes, restaurants and pubs to a range of shops, cinema and its Victorian pier, set alongside the picture-postcard promenade.

Climb Constitution Hill for stunning views of Cardigan Bay or take a trip back in time on the Vale of Rheidol Steam Railway towards Devils Bridge and its wondrous waterfalls.

Or a little further afield, explore the 19th-century harbour town of Aberaeron, with its brightly coloured buildings, bustling harbour and a wide range of shops.

For a coastal jaunt, the seaside village of Borth and Ynyslas Beach is a must for a sunny day or head in-land to explore the incredible Elan Valley, just 20 miles away.
