“What a super property in a truly wonderful and tranquil rural location yet within a short drive of excellent local pub and convenience store.”

Pond cottage, one of two lovely detached holiday cottages in a small complex of three homes in all including the owners' former farm house, is a genuine delight. The property is unusual perhaps with it's inverted accommodation but exceptionally spacious throughout, interesting in layout and ideal in particular for two couples with it's two large double bedrooms each having extremely generous bathroom or shower room but separated by a large entrance hall with useful fully equipped utility ...

Pond cottage, one of two lovely detached holiday cottages in a small complex of three homes in all including the owners' former farm house, is a genuine delight. The property is unusual perhaps with it's inverted accommodation but exceptionally spacious throughout, interesting in layout and ideal in particular for two couples with it's two large double bedrooms each having extremely generous bathroom or shower room but separated by a large entrance hall with useful fully equipped utility cupboard under the stairs. A single step down at the end of the large lounge/diner leads into an additional seating area with two comfortable chairs from which visitors can admire a stunning variety of birds on the nut feeder and balcony immediately outside. The excellent Kitchen/Breakfast Room completes the accommodation and is not only extremely well fitted and equipped but again unusually generous in size. The covered hot tub just outside the back door was more than a bonus, it was a delight in itself with direct outlook over the grounds which themselves afford a gorgeous setting with plenty of opportunity for dog walking. Last but not least, a special mention must be made of the owners Mark and Philippa who are most helpful, warm and welcoming and made us feel quite at home. Casper and Bailey, the owners' very friendly Spaniels, contributed to that welcome too !

“Friendly and welcoming hosts.”

Ideal location for a country/coastal holiday to get away from the hustle and stresses of everyday life. Lots of lovely walks right on the doorstep. Very dog friendly. Lots of places within 10 minute drive for eating out. Huge amount of land to explore and relax in.

Alison May 2024

“An absolutely beautifully converted property.”

Every detail has been considered, the kitchen is of a very high standard and well equipped. Hot tub easy to use, extensive gardens and adjacent fields wonderfully kept and perfect for dog and human walking. Highly recommend the property and the lovely owners, Philippa and Mark, who were on hand should any need arise. Nearby New Quay is a stunning coastal location with dolphins to be seen from land as well as beautiful beaches. Thanks for a lovely stay P and M!

Carol April 2024

“Pond Cottage is delightful and very comfortable.”

We had a very relaxing two week break there and our hosts (and their pets) were most welcoming. Shame the weather wasn't right for us to use the hot tub, but there were lots of places around to visit. We would highly recommend this cottage.

Thank you It makes us very happy when our visitors have a great stay, it is always what we aim for. Property Owner
Tanya March 2024

“We spent a fabulous week at Pond Cottage, in a beautiful, quiet location, with just the birds as company, we slept like logs.”

The cottage was spotlessly clean & extremely comfortable. On arrival were lots of little extras like dog treats, Easter cakes and milk, which we really appreciated. It was one one the best equipped places we’ve stayed in & the information pack was full of extremely useful suggestions. Our hosts were on site to welcome us and were friendly and helpful. Great location to explore Cardigan bay, can’t wait to return….

- Tanya, March 2024

That's so kind of you. We try very hard to make our guests comfortable and welcome. We love it here and are happy that you do as well. Property Owner

Richard August 2023

“We had a fantastic week at Pond Cottage.”

It's a very good location for exploring the Cardigan Bay area and beyond. The cottage was immaculately clean, had all the necessary facilities, yet very homely too. The hot tub was top-drawer. Phillipa and Mark were very friendly, helpful hosts and Casper and Bailey were lovely to have around. All in all, a great property and location, and very peaceful too. Would highly recommend!

Stephen July 2023

“Mark and Philppa were so accommodating and made our stay so enjoyable.”

The cottage was excellent and spotlessly clean. The setting was also so peaceful and relaxing. I can't leave feedback without mentioning the two dogs, kasper and Bailey. They were so gentle with our grandson who has autism that we wanted to take them home with us. Overall just excellent. Look forward to going back.

- Stephen, July 2023

Thank you for your kind remarks. We were very happy that the dogs were able to give your grandson some confidence around dogs, he clearly enjoyed them. Property Owner

Paul June 2023

“Pond Cottage is not to be missed.”

Maintained to a high standard with great facilities and spotlessly clean. Ideally situated to explore the central Wales coastline and a hot tub to relax in at the end of the day, what more could anyone want? This cottage is outstanding and if anyone has a week to spare and if available then book it, you will not be disappointed

- Paul, June 2023

Thank you so much for appreciating the hard work we put in to make your stay enjoyable. We love welcoming visitors to enjoy the cottage, hot tub and gardens. Property Owner
John April 2023

“We had the most amazing stay at Pond Cottage.”

Set in a beautiful, peaceful location. With the added bonus of a lovely hot tub. Our Golden retriever made the most of the gorgeous surrounding walks and streams. He especially got on well the the owners dogs, who were adorable. Philippa and Mark were always available for plenty of local advise about places to go and see but never intrusive. We would highly recommend the cottage. Thankyou for a perfect week.

- John, April 2023

We are very happy that you enjoyed your visit, all we want is for our visitors to have a lovely stay with us. Property Owner
Victoria April 2023

“Great lication and lovely property, very well equipped and spotlessly clean.”

Hot tub is a great feature. Very close to New Quay (10mins drive max) with it's lovely beach. Also close to Cardigan, Aberport, Mwnt, Tresaith and Llangrannog for more beaches.

- Victoria, April 2023

We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay with us. Our aim is to make every visitor to feel valued and comfortable. Property Owner
Veronica March 2023

“Very nice cottage, well equipped and very clean.”

Great hot tub. Nice to walk dog down to woodland at the bottom of the garden. The walkway over pound needs maintenance, but there is still good space to exercise your dog. The owners dogs are very friendly and although you see them now and again they are not continually lose around the garden so don’t be put off if you don’t like dogs

- Veronica, March 2023

Thank you for your kind comments. We have every intention of removing the old bridge as it has collapsed into the water, the ground by the pond is very boggy because of the exceptionally wet winter, as soon as it is dry enough this will be rectified. As you say Bailey and Casper are very friendly and love all our visitors; but they are only out at the same times that we are. Property Owner
Mark December 2022

“This beautiful cottage was decorated with so much love for our Christmas break.”

The tree a magical touch. The layout of the property is fantastic. Both bathrooms are absolutely stunning. Everything was so clean. As an enthusiastic cook I enjoyed the spacious kitchen, well appointed cupboards, well equipped with everything you could need. The hot tub was an added bonus. The weather was really not that great, but we very much enjoyed our stay. It is a lovely rural spot, quiet, nature all around, we especially loved the birdfeeder with all the guests including several woodpeckers. Would love to go back there again.

- Mark, December 2022

Thank you for your very kind feedback. We are so happy that you enjoyed yourselves. Property Owner
Megan October 2022

“We had a lovely stay, lovely cottage, beautiful surroundings.”

Only downside was the heating was controlled by the owners. We were often left very cold, even after asking twice for it to be on during the day. Not great after coming back after a damp cold day at the beach.

- Megan, October 2022

Thank you for your kind comments, we're very pleased that you enjoyed your stay at our Pond Cottage. As soon as you arrived we did ask you to let us know if the cottage wasn’t warm enough. The main heating was on at 25 in living areas and bathroom and 22 in bedrooms. There is an electric fire in the living room to add to heat and cuddly blankets as suggested by our lovely agent Alison which are on the settees. You did twice mention that it wasn’t warm enough, but it does take a little while for the temperature to change. The bedrooms ended at 25 all day and night and the living room way over 28-29 and on continually. When we went in for changeover we could hardly breath it was so hot. We had to open windows to be able to cope with it. The guests who stayed the following week asked for the bedroom heat to be turned off as it was not necessary and the general heat down by at least 5 degrees. We appreciate that everybody responds differently to temperature levels but we tried really hard to accommodate you, as we do with all of our guests. Property Owner

Sian September 2022

“We love, love, loved our wonderful stay in Pond Cottage .”

Our dogs Saffy and Alfie loved it too, making friends with the owners and their dogs. Pond Cottage is perfect. It’s immaculate and so well equipped with everything one could possibly need. The Hot Tub was a lovely way to end a day exploring the spectacular Cardigan coast. Pippa and Mark were exceptional hosts. We can’t wait to return next year.

- Sian, September 2022

Thank you Sian for the lovely feedback. So pleased you had such a good holiday look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

The cottage is set in lovely country surroundings although situated close to many lovely villages, beaches & Towns. The cottage was very clean and specious, , home from home, with everything we needed . We really loved the Hot Tub, which was a real treat to come back to after a day out. The hosts & their dogs were very friendly & as we didn’t know the area , they suggested many places to visit which we appreciated. Would definitely love to return to Pond Cottage in the future.

“This is a beautiful little hide away on an even more picturesque property, not to mention to two lovely owners and there sweet brood of dogs and cats.”

A great base 30 mins from Cardigan and beautiful beaches, 45 from Aberystwyth and Devils Bridge, only 10 mins from New Quay. Well worth a visit, you won’t regret it!

“It would be useful for instructions on some appliances especially if you've never used that type of appliance.”

The hot tub was a big bonus we had lots of enjoyment watching the birds feeding on the balcony

- Sheila, July 2022

Thank you for your feedback, we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We will check through to see which appliances have not got instructions and add them to our visitors book. Property Owner

“The cottage was immaculately clean and had everything you would need for the holiday.”

The hosts were great and happy to give recommendations of places to visit in the local area. We had a very relaxing holiday and spent a lot of time at the cottage watching the birds or in the hot tub. Would highly recommend to people.

Monica June 2022

“What a lovely welcome going through the gates to Pond Cottage, also the owner welcomed us and gave us an update on the cottage and explained the hot tub.”

Opening the door we were amazed at the size of the hall with bedrooms either side both with on suites. Beautiful decorated with colour schemes. Upstairs kitchen everything you would need and spotlessly clean. Lounge and sun room was spacious and spent many an hour watching the bird's of many different kinds. Lovely walks around the grounds and very friendly Dog's and Cats. Really enjoyed the week so relaxing especially in the hot tub. Many thanks Phillipa and Mark for your hard work in keeping the cottage in prestine condition.

Karen June 2022

“Lovely, clean and well maintained property.”

Dog friendly but don’t let that put you off, it was spotless. An upside down house with 2 en-suite bedrooms on opposite sides of the hallway. One double, one twin. I would have preferred the double to be in the other room which had the nicer walk in shower and was lighter and brighter, but both rooms were good so not a problem and I enjoyed the double ended bath for a good soak. The living area upstairs is spacious with kitchen at one end and sun room with small balcony at the other. The sun room is particularly comfy and loved the filled bird feeder which meant I saw my first ever woodpecker! Your own private hot tub which is fully cleaned between bookings made for good relaxation after a day of coastal hills! Well equipped kitchen; electric hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge with good sized ice box. Washing machine, laundry basket and airer. Hairdryer and towels provided. Dishwasher tablets, hand soap, kitchen cleaning stuff provided. Salt, pepper and cling film/sarnie bags provided so no need to bring. Could do with more ‘proper’ mugs for a good sized cuppa. Tips for a good stay: restaurants get booked up so worth advance booking. Moody cow looked nice for sun lunch. The Pepper pot was pleasant for lunch or dinner. The Cost Cutter local shop in New Quay had a surprisingly good selection inc vegetarian. Big supermarkets are a bit further afield so get an advance Tesco delivery or shop on the way. Note that sat nav only gets you so far, don’t forget to drop a pin on the map once arrived so you can find your way back! It’s not hard once you know but confusing the first few times. We enjoyed walking from llangranog and tresaith to pen bryn (which had the better cafe). All in all, a lovely relaxing stay. Thank you.

“A warm welcome from the owners and a property that exceeded expectations.”

Peaceful and very relaxing yet only a short distance to all amenities and beaches etc. The property is very well equipped and very comfortable. The owners went above and beyond to make us welcome and were informative about the local area without being intrusive. The hot tub was a luxury we all enjoyed and was maintained to a high standard. Our dogs were well catered for with acres of private space to exercise too. We had a wonderful holiday.

Thank you for a lovely review. We make it our mission to make everyone feel welcome and at home. Property Owner
Joanne June 2021

“Philippa & Mark are lovely hosts, they are welcoming, friendly and genuinely want everyone staying at Pool Cottage to have an wonderful experience.”

The cottage is very well presented with lovely subtle touches, resulting in a warm relaxing feel. From the recycling to the hot tub, nothing has been left to chance. The grounds and setting are beautiful, with the view over the trees from the balcony and internal seating, provide a total distraction from everything! The bird feeders ensure the TV is not required. I would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing break, cant wait to return.

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We make it our mission to everybody feed welcome. Property Owner

“Pond Cottage provided the perfect getaway location.”

The owners had thought of everything that you might need whilst away from home, the kitchen was well equipped and there were lots of little finishing touches that we haven't experienced in other holiday lets. Would not hesitate in recommending Pond Cottage to others.
