“A real home from home.”

Really comfortable and well equipped The only thing I think is worth mentioning that it is not really suitable for people with limited mobility, which my wife has but we managed and will be returning.

“Our cottage was fab beyond any expectations.”

Spotlessly clean and very well equipped. We had a lovely stay, and would highly recommend.

Paula August 2024

“The cottage is well situated for the coastal road.”

Large and comfortable. Tumble dryer and freezer was an added bonus. Shower was very powerful which was great. WiFi was an issue when trying to find out where we wanted to go but I believe this was due to being in a dip. We chose the location for its location of coast and closeness to friends and this was perfect

Our number was down just two of us , that was due to a major heart operation being brought forward, but we really enjoyed our stay , everything we needed was there , always warm , loved the bath , a lot deeper than mine at home

“Well equipped large property very comfortable”

- Ian, September 2022
Janet September 2022

“Lovely comfortable and warm cottage with everything you will need during your stay.”

The garden is great with a lawned area, stone pathways around the mature shrubs and a patio area with a table and chairs. There is a little bridge over the stream then a gate, the stream is not accessible as it is not part of Darwen Villa's garden. We had a food delivery the first night we got there and they found us easily enough. There were only two of us and we found that the Wifi was okay for emails, internet access and Whatsapp connection.

Justyna April 2022

“Derwen Villa is a great place if you’d like to escape from a busy city.”

Comfortable, beautifully furnished, well equipped. The owners are very friendly and easy to contact if you need to ask a question. I highly recommend this place as we’ve had a wonderful time at Derwen Villa.

“Great place to stay only downfall lack of mobile phone signal in the area had to make internet calls but this never spoiled the stay.”

- Michael, January 2022

There is a land line which is available for use for that very reason. Property Owner
Lisa September 2021

“Had a lovely lovely week at Derwen Villa.”

Very well equipped and everything you could need. Clear instructions from the owner before arrival. As informed beforehand we booked, no mobile signal and weak WiFi but that was expected and meant we got our teenage daughter playing cards of an evening rather than staring at her tablet

- Lisa, September 2021
Julie September 2021

“Fantastic holiday x Really well equipped cottage .”

Ideal situation for all of our group. Cot room Really impressive, a lovely homely feel to the cottage .

- Julie, September 2021
Ian August 2021

“A beautiful, comfortable, well equipped cottage with a nice mature garden in a lovely quiet village with awesome countryside.”

The only negative was the speed and reliability of the internet connectivity, but BT were in the village during our stay upgrading the network so that probably didn't help at the time.

- Ian, August 2021
Hayley May 2021

“The cottage was a lovely in every way homely and spacious.”

However Mydroilin itself considering its in beautiful countryside there was no where to walk dogs safely. We had to drive elsewhere the wet weather did not help. Overall it was a pleasant stay.

- Hayley, May 2021
Maureen September 2020

“Lovely holiday cottage.”

Everything and more provided. Ideally placed for all locations

- Maureen, September 2020
Alex August 2020

“Lovely cottage in a quiet location.”

Clean and comfortable with good facilities. The garden with the stream is a relaxing place to sit in the sun. A good base for exploring the fantastic Ceridigion coastline and countryside, loads of great beaches in easy reach. Some people have complained about the wifi but no mobile signal and weak wifi meant our boys couldn't spend all day streaming netflix or youtube so it's a good thing. It's fine for twitter and emails etc.

- Alex, August 2020
Lorraine August 2020

“We had a lovely week, the villa is really well equipped and clean and the garden is gorgeous!”

The issue for us was the lack of wi fi, coupled with no phone signal at all, most of the week you couldn't access the internet, and even when you could it froze. I understand it's not an issue for everyone but we had a 15 and 12 year old with us and I wouldn't have booked this property had I known. In the welcome information this issue is raised, but it would be helpful to know on booking. I did see the village is maybe getting better connected so this may change! That aside, it's a beautiful place, Ann was really helpful and we enjoyed our stay in this fabulous part of Wales.

Yvonne November 2019

“Derwen Villa should be an aspiration for others to follow, from the owner who was the first ever to supply information and advice regarding the property before our stay, to the personal touches the property offered and superb accommodation.”

There was nothing we lacked in the property and we have always when staying in holiday property taken various items for use in the kitchen, but on this occasion it was totally unnecessary when all the kitchen equipment was exemplary. The furnishing and decoration would easily allow any visitor to imagine this was a permanent home of someone who clearly takes a pride in their property and not a holiday rental. I highly recommend Derwen Villa and thank the owner for taking a personal interest in the comfort and enjoyment of the guests who stay in this property and in this beautiful part of Wales.

- Yvonne, November 2019
Angela August 2019

“Great for family friendly cottage.”

- Angela, August 2019
Anne August 2019

“Such a lovely place to stay.”

Homely comfortable honestly it was perfect. The cot room along with bunk bed room were beautiful with furniture for children yet adults could stay there too. The kitchen lioved cooking in it the garden is beautiful. To be fair the furniture was like going back to my manna’s home she would have lived the villa as it was her taste. The drinks fridge fabulous. There is a wee fridge magnet on freezer which sums up villa and it’s ethos perfectly.....

We were mega impressed by the cottage the welcome basket of treats for us and the dogs the standard of decor and it was so well equipped the downside was lack of phone signal and WiFi however we did have a landline to stay in touch

- Matt, July 2019
Mark April 2019

“Derwen Villa is in a lovely quiet location and met the entire families needs (my 2 sons, my daughter, daughter in law and 9 month old grandson).”

It is really comfortable and has all the amenities we needed. Although in a quiet location, it is only 6 miles from both Newquay and Aberaeron and around 5 miles from the sandy beach of Cei Bach. The pub in the village (Gilfach Inn) is just a 5 minute walk and is very welcoming and if you have the weather as we did, it's a lovely quiet sun trap. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends and family.

- Mark, April 2019
Rita November 2018

“Everything!”

Derwen Villa was lovely; cosy but spacious, extremely comfortable, very clean and really well equipped. Could have stayed forever! The whole family loved it and if we visit this part of Wales again would have no hesitation in booking the cottage again. The only down side, if there has to be one, is the lack of public footpaths close by but everything else about the cottage and surrounding area was great. We stayed for a week and found plenty of places to visit from Cardigan to Aberystwyth. Will certainly look to book through Sykes Holiday Cottages again in future.

- Rita, November 2018
Julie October 2018

“Good Base for local attractions.”

Very clean and well equipped. Had such welcoming atmosphere. Didn't want to leave.

- Julie, October 2018
Gill September 2018

“We were disappointed that the garden was not completely secure for our medium sized dog, it was mentioned in the welcome folder but found more escape routes than mentioned!”

Dog had to be kept on the leas all the time. The house is very well equipped with everything you needed. Good position as easy to get to most places.

- Gill, September 2018
Patricia August 2018

“The only negative comment I have is that WiFi was not intermittent as stated by the owner as part of the written instructions when we arrived.”

We did not have it at all during our stay two week stay. That said, everything else was absolutely perfect for a relaxing holiday we had a wonderful time and highly recommend this house.

- Patricia, August 2018
S July 2018

“Wi-Fi should not be advertised as available at this property.”

It does not work, cannot be used and therefore we booked a property that we would not have chosen otherwise.

- S, July 2018
Adrian June 2018

“The cottage was like staying at your granny's house, very old fashioned.”

It was very cluttered untidy and not clean. Far too many personal items for a holiday let. Both house and garden needs some TLC. The patio needed a good sweep and the garden was very overgrown. The cottage is situated in a village where there is nothing to do. Was especially disappointed there were no local dog walks from the door step. The internet signal was poor or non existent, and there is no mobile phone signal so keeping in touch is difficult. Would definitely not return to this property!! :-(

- Adrian, June 2018
Clive May 2018

“An excellent Cottage, there was nothing we could think of that was not included.”

It catered for three generations. A beautiful rear garden which was a haven of wild life. We intend to revisit in the future.

- Clive, May 2018
Ann March 2018

“This was our second time visiting Derwen Villa and we loved it just as much as our first visit.”

It really has become our favourite home from home, with absolutely everything you are ever likely to need. The roaring log fire is such a treat after chilly Easter walks on the beach and the huge farmhouse kitchen is filled with everything we needed to make family meals after days out exploring the seasIde town of New Quay and the beautiful harbour town of Aberaeron. Belle, our Labrador, loves it too! The large secure garden is just perfect for her. We plan to return again later in the year. Would highly recommend.

- Ann, March 2018
Liz February 2018

“A lovely cottage with a kitchen I could actually cook in!”

- Liz, February 2018
David December 2017

“Facilities were great but had a hard time getting a couple of the burners on the stove to work.”

... also hairdryer didn’t work very well at higher speeds

- David, December 2017
Timothy November 2017

“The cottage was warm and we loved the bath and king sized bed.”

However the kitchen knives were all blunt and this was annoying as we prepare our own food.

- Timothy, November 2017
Julie September 2017

“We loved the cottage and felt really comfortable in it.”

Shame the weather wasn't good enough to spend much time in it but it was October when we stayed!

- Julie, September 2017
Catherine June 2016

“We liked the beautiful garden.”

This is a lovely property, a home from home. Everything you could want was in the cottage.

- Catherine, June 2016
Tracey August 2015

“A very well equipped holiday home from home, in good location to explore the west coast and Brecon Beacons.”

- Tracey, August 2015
Ruth August 2015

“A beautiful cottage with all home comforts.”

- Ruth, August 2015
Ulrike June 2015

“Derwen Villa is the perfect place for a bigger family with 3-4 children.”

Everything you need is present along with toys and books for children of all ages. Even the DVD and CD collection in the living room was great. There was a fabulous garden to enjoy and it was a perfect location for day trips.

- Ulrike, June 2015
Rhian May 2015

“Derwen Villa was a beautiful, comfortable cottage.”

There was everything you could have possibly needed and more! I would definitely recommend this cottage and owners!

- Rhian, May 2015
Mrs Lee May 2015

“Everything at Derwen Villa was excellent, also the garden was safe for our dog.”

It was very relaxing sitting in the garden and listening to the birds. We enjoyed every minute of the holiday from start to finish and hope to book again later this year.

- Mrs Lee, May 2015
Gwen May 2014

“It was a perfect location for our party.”

We differed in age from 70 to 4 but everyone was happy. The children could play safely in the garden and there were beaches close by. The house was very well appointed with everything you could possibly need or wish for. I certainly hope we will be able to go again. I liked the house, the garden, the location and the village.

- Gwen, May 2014
