“This was such a relaxing mini break in the most idyllic location.”

Laurence and Julie were simply lovely hosts and were more than happy to speak to us about the local area and all the lovely walks in the neighbourhood. We were made to feel extremely welcome and our little dog was welcomed with open arms. The cabin itself is quirky, cosy and full of everything you could want for a short break away. We will definitely be returning!

Gill September 2024

“This is a wonderful place to stay the location is lovely and the views are amazing.”

We received a wonderful welcome when we arrived and we were early but that wasn’t a problem to Laurence or Julie. The welcome hamper was lovely and this extended to our dogs with their own little hamper of dog treats and more. They also left us provisions in the fridge ! milk cheese ham tomatoes etc . They really do think of everything. Due to Ben ( our dog ) injuring his leg before our holiday we couldn’t visit the places we planned , however we both agreed that if we had to be confined to base we couldn’t think of anywhere nicer to be. Thank you again Laurence and Julie we will be back next year when we can explore the area more. Gill & Ian

- Gill, September 2024

Thank you both very much and we really hope things have gone okay for Ben at the vets. Laurence & Julie Property Owner

We will definitely recommend your holiday let to all and especially dog owners. Best Wishes, Rhys, Izabela and the two dogs. :)

Carl August 2024

“We enjoyed our stay at the Kites Nest Laurence and Julie made us very welcome and we're on hand if the need arose without being intrusive.”

The cabin has lovely views and is very private, aswell as being well equipped. Had everything we needed, including a bath with fantastic views, I'm certainly missing my morning coffee looking through the valley. It is also an idyllic spot with plenty of places to visit, many cities in the welcome pack. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch. So yes I would highly recommend, made our dogs most welcome too

- Carl, August 2024

Hi - Thank you for coming to stay at The Kite's Nest and we are pleased you felt so welcome. The valley is always here for next time you want a coffee!!! All the best, Laurence & Julie Property Owner
Giles August 2024

“A delightful place, which was very nice and cosily situated.”

Although quite close to the owners bungalow, it had complete privacy and was entirely undisturbed. It had all the facilities we wanted, including a delightful welcome pack. We had both rain and sun, and we're equally comfortable with both! We will certainty be returning......

- Giles, August 2024

Thank you Giles for your nice words, which really pleased us. Glad you were comfortable with the rain as well as the sun...we do have lots of weather here is Wales!!! As they say around here, "without the rain, you don't get the beauty". Property Owner
Victoria August 2024

“I could write this with only one words, ’Perfect!”

’ A beautiful cosy cabin in ideal location with fabulous views. Very well presented, very clean and well stocked for a small place. Had the most restful time, enjoyed our treat basket and so did our dogs. Highly recommend Kites Nest, we will be back.

- Victoria, August 2024

Thank you so much, Vickie. Glad Alan enjoyed his birthday. Would love to see you come back again but you have to bring those lovely Westies with you. Property Owner
Gemma July 2024

“The photos really don't do this place justice, it's incredible!”

I stayed here with my partner in July and can honestly say this was the most relaxing place we've ever stayed. The care and attention to detail was second to none. The hosts Laurence and Julie couldn't have been more welcoming, providing a welcome hamper upon arrival, and making sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. We will definitely be back soon!

- Gemma, July 2024

“A wonderful property and excellent hosts!”

Sarah May 2024

“Lawrence and Julie are wonderful hosts who made us feel so at home and like family.”

They had thought of every little detail without going overboard and were there for anything we needed. The cabin itself is stunning and the location is breathtaking and we quite frankly can’t fault a single thing and didn’t want to go home. The bath outside is so fun and very private, they offer the use of their own gardens as well as being clued up on local walks and amenities. What topped it off is that they are aware just how rural they are and provide you with enough quality produce to give you a good breakfast your first morning there and the welcome basket is so thoughtful and such a treat. Lawrence showed us around and handed us some warm, freshly baked bread and then on our second day, we arrived back from a long hike to find a local Bara Brith cake with a candle in it and a birthday card for my husbands birthday! This place is truly magical and Lawrence and Julie are absolute angels. We will be back as many times as we can.

- Sarah, May 2024

Wow! What a lovely review...thank you. It's a shame you couldn't come for longer as there are any number of places I could happily bully you into exploring. It was a real pleasure having you both stay and hope to see you again. Laurence (& Julie) Property Owner
Susan May 2024

“Thank you for a wonderful week, the kites nest is gorgeous and provided a really comfortable weeks holiday.”

Indi appreciated how dog friendly it was too! Every detail shows careful thought and all the items in the cabin are of really nice quality. The garden was lovely and I enjoyed the outdoor bath. We had some lovely sunshine but it's easy to see how cosy this place would be in winter. The owners were also lovely hosts and available if there were to be any issues or questions. As well as enjoying the view and the kites from the balcony there were some wonderful walks in the area, some so close it was easy to access them without needing to drive there.

- Susan, May 2024

Hi Susan Thank you so much for your lovely review, we're pleased you enjoyed the week. Please give a little Indy a hug from me and tell her she left a chew here!! Laurence (& Julie) Property Owner
Judith April 2024

“I missed not having a table nor oven.”

Bed exceptionally comfortable and lovely to have a warm bathroom. Outside space was delightful. Owners were very helpful and friendly.

- Judith, April 2024

I'm sorry you felt it necessary to leave a comparatively low score on your review. There is a table available to eat from and there is a high spec microwave oven, which you chose not to use. Hence we did heat a meal for you in the house. Thank you for your suggestion in the comments book regarding provision of dinner trays. We will do so. Pleased that you found the bed comfortable and enjoyed the private garden and beautiful view. Regards, Laurence Property Owner
Andrew March 2024

“Huge thanks to Julie and Lawrence for a magical stay!”

Every little detail was thoroughly thought out, from the design set up to the welcome basket and fridge goodies. Can't wait to come back! Great location for wildlife.

- Andrew, March 2024

Hi Andrew. Thank you for the lovely words. Hope you do come back as we currently have the Red Kites practicing a few routines to give you an even better show next time. Cheers, Laurence (& Julie) Property Owner
Verity March 2024

“We had such a lovely week, we want to come back already!”

Kim January 2024

Dudley December 2023

“A lovely cute pod cabin, really well done and equiped, with great welcome hamper, even a welcome hamper for the dog.”

Warm and snug even on the coldest Welsh morning (too cold for the outside bath tho!). Walks a short drive away, such as Hafod. Would stay again. Thanks

- Dudley, December 2023

Real pleasure having you and lovely four-legged Chloe stay with is. Glad you enjoyed visiting The Hafod despite the rain on the second day. Come back again so you can use the outside bath!! All the best Property Owner
Christopher November 2023

“What an amazing place to stay, with a great view, peaceful and relaxing, a fantastic welcome pack including homemade bread warm from the oven, our hosts were brilliant and even let us leave late as their was no immediate booking after us.”

There’s plenty to see and do in the area. We even braved the outdoor bath in November! Though wore our woolly hats, what a sight!

- Christopher, November 2023

So glad you enjoyed it, it was a pleasure. Just to let you know, woolly hats in the outdoor bath are compulsory all year round!!! Hope to see you again. Property Owner
Donna October 2023

“We had a fantastic stay at The Kite’s Nest.”

The accommodation was lovely with an amazing view. Lots of lovely walks nearby too. The hosts were very welcoming, and went above and beyond in providing everything we needed for our stay. It was very relaxing and we’ll definitely be back for another stay.

- Donna, October 2023

Thank you very much for your nice words. It would be a pleasure to see you again. Don't tell too many people though as mid-Wales is the best kept secret in the UK! Property Owner
Ben October 2023

“We had the pleasure of spending two nights at the enchanting Kite's Nest as a special birthday getaway, and it truly exceeded our expectations!”

The cabin is impeccably designed and exudes a sense of luxury. The ambiance is incredibly tranquil and serene, making it the ideal haven for cocooning, watching movies, and simply unwinding. The outdoor bathtub was a major highlight, offering the ultimate escape from the everyday hustle and bustle. Kite's Nest served as an excellent home base for exploring numerous local attractions. In fact, there were so many enticing places to visit that we could have easily extended our stay and still not had the chance to experience them all. We were warmly welcomed, and the hosts went out of their way to ensure that nothing was too much trouble for us.

- Ben, October 2023

Thank you for your booking and for your lovely review. it means a lot to us. it was a pleasure to have you stay and hope to see you again one day. Property Owner

About the location

PONTRHYDFENDIGAID

Tregaron 5.5 miles; Devil’s Bridge 9 miles; Aberystwyth 16 miles.

Pontrhydfendigaid is a small village in Mid Wales between Devil’s Bridge and Tregaron. The village lies on the edge of the Cambrian Mountains in beautiful countryside. It sits on the River Teifi and his home to a local shop and two nearby pubs, The Teifi Inn and The Hafod Hotel. Devil's Bridge has been a tourist attraction for centuries and was celebrated by author George Borrow who wrote Wild Wales in 1854. This famous bridge spans the Mynach, a tributary of the River Rheidol and is unique as it is actually three bridges in one, the original built around 1100, the second above this in 1753 and the third in 1903. The bridge is at a point where the River Mynach drops 90 metres (300 ft) in 5 steps down a steep and narrow ravine before it meets the River Rheidol. The set of stone steps leading down to the lowest bridge at the waterfall are known as Jacob's Ladder. The attraction offers viewing points and after the steep walk there is a hotel and cafe for refreshments. This whole area boasts stunning scenery and wildlife and is renowned for walking, cycling, fishing and bird watching as well as trips to the beautiful Cardigan Bay coastline with its wild cliffs and sandy beaches.
