“Lovely spacious house, well equipped, great location for wide range of activities”
- David, August 2024 -
Catherine “Beautiful house with a great view.”
Catherine was a fantastic host who offered suggestions for activities and was on hand when required. Good value for money. Perfect for our family holiday! The only improvement might be a hot tub (according to my eldest daughter!)
- Catherine, July 2024Christine “Fabulous property, comfortable, clean and a superb welcome pack.”
A great experience thank you.
- Christine, May 2024Steve “Many thanks again to Catherine and Rhei for a fantastic week at their property and the welcome pack.”
The place is fantastic and has all the things provided. Have been before and couldn't wait to come back again
- Steve, May 2024Suzanne “This was our fourth visit.”
We loved it so much. Beautiful property, very clean and comfortable. Love the deep bath and underfloor heating. Great location. Will be back next year. Highly recommended. The welcome hamper is also a nice touch, which we are always excited about to see what we get! Lovely friendly owners.
- Suzanne, April 2024Ian “We loved the cleanliness of the property and the log burner with its supply of logs.”
Plus it’s close proximity to the local pub that offered a great Sunday lunch in a warm friendly atmosphere. This was our second stay and we will most likely be back for a third visit.
- Ian, October 2023Steve “This property is fantastic and has everything you need,the owners leaving a welcome pack was very nice indeed.”
Itwas great sitting outside watching the bats with there low level flying. Just outside is a bus stop with direct links and good service. The local pub is also on the square. Overall will definitely be back again. Finally it was a pleasure to meet the owner.
- Steve, September 2023Pam “Wow, A beautiful house, so well equipped with high quality utensils and bedding.”
So much space. This meant the three generations could find a spot to read or chill-out if need be. Beautifully maintained. The welcome basket was very interesting giving us some insight to the local product Products. Very thoughtful and delicious. Lots to do for the boys, dad and I’m and grandparents. The coast or hills easily accessible.. The rear garden was a relaxing space and good for star gazing. We will come back.
- Pam, August 2023Allan John “Fantastic house with all the space and comfort you would need”
- Allan John, June 2023Sue “Lovely property that matched the excellent reviews.”
Made all the more splendid by the closeness of the White Lion pub and its friendly staff and customers.
- Sue, June 2023Gordon “The cottage is one of the nicest we have stayed in having booked accommodation 2-3 times a year for the last twenty years.”
It was very clean, comfortable and very well-equipped. Everything was covered and the attention to detail was appreciated as was the super welcome box of Welsh goodies. I wish more property owners had the same high standards as this. I would recommend to everyone.
- Gordon, April 2023Gail “We were blown away with how lovely the property was.”
The location was great, we were lucky with the weather and took some nice walks in the countryside and visited Aberystwyth one day. The welcome pack was a lovely touch. We have already talked about coming back. Thank you!
- Gail, November 2022Suzanne “Another fabulous stay at this beautiful house.”
Loads of room for 3 adult couples with the local pub on the doorstep. The house is situated in a good location with lots to do and see in the area. The owners have thought of everything! Maybe some kitchen scales as our grand daughter bought some flour but couldn’t weigh it
- Suzanne, October 2022Paul “A fantastic holiday accommodation.”

It was so much larger than described with every convenience. , immaculate warm and welcoming. Beautifully equipped with nothing wanting. The owners very helpful with arrival details and explanations etc.also unobtrusive We had a wonderful break.
- Jonathan, September 2022David Royston “This accommodation was really of the highest standard providing exceptional comfort, cleanliness & modern facilities.”
Its location amongst the beautiful Ceredigion countryside was superb with easy access to many historical & beautiful places of interest. Having the White Lion pub located opposite was a real bonus with great ale & fabulous food. Our host Catherine was great & provided a fabulous hamper of goodies which was most welcomed & enjoyed by all.
- David Royston, September 2022Laura “We can't praise Yr Hen Ty Coets enough!”

Everything had been thought of including a wonderful welcome hamper. Excellent position with the village pub 50m away. Lots to do within a short drive. Lovely helpful owners living next door.
- Suzanne, September 2021Jeremy “Fantastic welcome pack.”
Great facilities and well located. Spacious barn conversion with high specification.The owners live next door in adjoining barn conversion. Recommend the pub across road for good evening meals.
- Jeremy, September 2021Andrew “An excellent standard and quality of accommodation.”
The owner was also on hand being next door and accessible by email. The property also has an Outback Barbecue on site (this is not mentioned in the descriptions).
- Andrew, August 2021Arron “The cottage was absolutely stunning with lovely views out to the countryside from the rear of the property.”
Catherine (the owner) was very welcoming and helpful. The welcome pack provided was a lovely bonus which got our stay of to a great start. The cottage is nicely situated for trips to Aberystwyth, New Quay (for dolphin boat trips) and off road cycling at Barmouth. Would recommend this property 100%
- Arron, July 2021Stella “The barn was fabulous, well kitted out and there was an amazing welcome pack which we really do not expect”
- Stella, June 2021Graham “This converted barn is simply gorgeous.”
Well appointed, clean, spacious and well laid out. Having breakfast on the patio watching the sun rise over the countryside was the best start to the day that I can remember. Catherine (the host) was incredibly helpful and the welcome pack of Welsh goodies was an unexpected delight. There is no shortage of things to do and see locally and I only wish that we'd had more time. A really fabulous place for a holiday.
- Graham, June 2021Andrea “What an absolutely fabulous place Yr Hen Ty Coets is!”
The quality of this property is stunning. The location is excellent with unspoiled views to the rear of open countryside and a river. The owners live in the other half of the barn and they were very friendly and welcoming. There was a lovey hamper welcome pack waiting for us filled with Welsh goodies. I would highly recommend a stay here.
- Andrea, May 2021Andrew “Having visited the property before, I am pleased to say it again did not disappoint.”
The spacious barn development in its beautiful setting has maintained its high standards despite the difficulties of the pandemic. The host has provided a most welcoming holiday let. One to return to in the near future.
- Andrew, May 2021Suzanne “Been before and love this place.”
Welcome hamper was a lovely touch. I’m glad we got to come, as didn’t think we’d be able too with the covid situation. Hopefully we can come again next year.
- Suzanne, October 2020Lynne “Excellent holiday accommodation in a good location.”
The welcome pack was amazing. The best cottage we have ever rented through Sykes.
- Lynne, September 2020Graham “Like many people we decided to holiday in the UK this year and chose this cottage as it was a reasonable distance for all our family to meet.”
This is a property with a high standard of finish and appointments, in an excellent location to explore mid Wales. The lovely owners (Catherine and Rheinallt) live next door and left an excellent and delicious hamper full of locally produced goods as means of a welcome which was very much appreciated. The living areas are all comfortably appointed - living room with log burner seating seven -piano room -dining room seating seven -kitchen with fridge freezer and dishwasher - the bedrooms all have their own TV (beds are comfy too!). There is also a utility room with a washing machine and a fridge for beer - there is really nothing you need to take with you other than food! The enclosed patio area at the rear has a gas barbecue as well. There is a pub 50 mtrs across the road and a convenience store about 200 mtrs walk away in the village. Borth is about 5 miles away and Aberystwyth about 7 miles. Will definitely return in the future
- Graham, September 2020Amanda “This was a fab cottage,with more than enough space for 7 adults.”
The owners were so helpful and the welcome back was superb!!
- Amanda, August 2020Stephanie “Beautiful place, the barn was even nicer than the photo's.”
We had a lovely time despite being there during the worst weather of the year so far. Lots to do locally with a car and pub literally staggering distance away. I would definately return.
- Stephanie, February 2020Anne-marie “We spent the Christmas period in this wonderful property and had the most amazing time.”
The property is stunning and finished to a very high specification....exactly as in the photos....if not better! It was beautifully decorated for Christmas and the log fire ensured we had cosy nights in. When we did venture out to the local pub (the white lion) we were made to feel very welcome by the locals. We were left a welcome pack on arrival by the owners, full of Welsh produce, which was a wonderful surprise and very thoughtful. The owners of the property were very friendly and helpful both before and during our stay. This is definitely the best rental property we have ever stayed in and we will most certainly be returning.
- Anne-marie, December 2019Janet “Fabulous accommodation, extremely comfortable for our party of 6 adults.”
The welcome pack was a huge surprise, full of local luxuries and essentials which were greatly appreciated while we unpacked and got our bearings. Location was central for all the Mid Wales attractions, New Quay was our favourite. Catherine was a superb host and we hope to visit again soon
- Janet, October 2019Denise “Fabulous barn conversion done to an exceptionally high standard.”
We echo previous reviews, this is an amazing property. The high quality of the furniture is matched in the bedding and towels that are provided. Welcome pack was the most generous we have encountered. The Owners live in the adjoining property and greeted us on arrival. Very friendly and encouraged us to let them know if we had any questions/ issues. The property would benefit from some updated photos/description on the website. The drive has been beautifully resurfaced and no longer has raised ironwork that was mentioned in a previous review. The balcony off the master bedroom has been removed ! No chance to have breakfast al fresco whilst admiring the scenery from an elevated position. A washer/ dryer is mentioned on the website. There is a great washing machine but no dryer, only an airer. We had an 8 week old baby with us and she produced a LOT of washing. Fortunately the heated towel rails in the bathrooms saved the day. The underfloor heating is preset and locked so you cannot adjust it. Great selection of books, games and children's DVDs. This place is HUGE so plenty of space to spread out. The kitchen area is very well equipped but fairly compact in relation to the size of the property. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay despite the not so great weather, the fabulous showers in the 2 en-suites were much appreciated, it's a shame the bathroom doesn't have one. The double width sink did prove a great place to bath the baby, she loved it !!
- Denise, October 2019Nick “The accomadation was marvelous.”
Best property i have stayed in . And we are frequent users of holiday propertys. 10 out of 10 for everything
- Nick, July 2019Nina “The cottage was excellent.”
Clean comfortable and in a very good location. The welcome box was lovely all Welsh products. Will definitely reccomend this property. We had a great family holiday. The Thomassons
- Nina, July 2019John “The property is of the highest standard.”
There was so much to do in the area. The photograph seems to be taken from the back of the house, but the front is equally attractive.
- John, June 2019Paul “Lovely spacious cottage, well stocked with essentials and plenty of kitchen items e.”
G. pots, pans, crockery etc. Great patio area which enjoys great views with plenty of space for kids to play safely. Parking for 2 and possibly three cars. Two pubs across the green from front door, what’s not to like. Also great location to visit surrounding towns. Borth beach is 10 mins by car and well worth a visit. The Sands cafe in Borth is excellent, great food good service at reasonable prices. We had lunch there and it was great.
- Paul, June 2019Cathy “The cottage was well equipped and provided all the comforts of home.”
- Cathy, June 2019Peter “Exceptional "cottage" would highly recommend.”
- Peter, May 2019Sonia “Absolutely stunning cottage.”
Beautiful location.
- Sonia, April 2019John “This was the best place we've stayed in in all the twenty years of our annual walking holiday.”
Spacious, well-equiped and perfectly positioned for access to superb walking country. Bus stop across the Green for a regular service to Aberystwyth. Two pubs within 30 yards ( one actually a bistro ). Very generous welcome pack. Couldn't fault it.
- John, April 2019Suzanne “Amazing property, beautiful location, immaculate cleanliness, comfortable bed, lovely view at rear, 2 friendly and cosy pubs close by which do delicious meals, friendly owners, the welcome hamper was a lovely touch, we’ve already booked to come back next year!”
- Suzanne, March 2019Neil “Beautiful property in a lovely location.”
Had a wonderful stay and will definitely return.
- Neil, March 2019Claire “Everything was fantastic, this was our 2nd visit to this property cannot fault anything”
- Claire, March 2019Bryan “I have used Sykes for many holidays but this was the best, the cottage was better than the advert and pictures.”
very spacious and finished to a very high standard. the location was perfect, 7 miles from Aberystwyth and many places to walk locally. we are already looking to book this place again.
- Bryan, December 2018Carole “Although the weather was terrible that did not affect our stay mostly thanks to the wonderful accommodation and the great local pub next door.”
The accommodation was amazing. Every detail had been thought of. Even the photos do not do it justice. A lovely place to stay with family and friends. This is the best place we have stayed in. We will return when the weather is better to explore the countryside. There are lots of walks in the surrounding area that we would like to try. Also Aberystwyth and Machynlleth are not far. The pub has a great landlady and the food is good and plentiful, not forgetting over 100 different gins to try.
- Carole, December 2018Michael “A stunning place to stay.”
The cottage is exceptional. Spacious and luxurious, fitted out to a Very high standard in an ideal location for local walks and rides with all mid Wales has to offer on your doorstep.
- Michael, October 2018Rhys “We had a brilliant weekend and will definatly be going back”
- Rhys, September 2018Claire “Fantastic holiday cottage”
- Claire, September 2018Gill “We had had a great time at this location.”
The house was superb, spacious and homely. The welcome pack was a nice touch and we would highly recomend.
- Gill, July 2018Fadzai “The home was lovely and clean .”
It was clear that a lot of effort had gone into ensuring comfort and convenience by the attention to detail. The home was furnished to a high standard with all the equipment and facilities to make you feel at home. The welcome pack with local produce was a particularly nice touch. Catherine was on hand to ensure our stay was comfortable. While we were there, the TV in the master bedroom broke down. Catherine was there within the hour to try to sort it and when she couldn’t, immediately got people in to replace it that same morning. We wanted to get some salt marsh lamb while there and we asked Catherine where we could source it. Not only did she call around the local butcheries on that same day but even the next day until she found one for us. She was more than helpful. A great holiday all round, highly recommend it! The views st the back of the house are lovely and you can hear the stream running at the back!
- Fadzai, July 2018Yvonne “Comfortably spacious with secluded patio and gorgeous rural views”
- Yvonne, May 2018Tracie “Beautiful house in a beautiful setting.”
Luxurious and cosy in equal measures. Fantastic time had by all. Perfect place for a friend's reunion.
- Tracie, April 2018Deborah “Home from home, vert well equipped and carefully planned out house.”
Furnished to a high standard. Would highly recommend and would stay again.
- Deborah, March 2018Janet “Cottage was lovely, very clean and as described.”
There were just a few minor things that would have helped - lack of soap or shower gel, only 1 tea towel, limited washing up liquid or dishwasher tablets, microwave too remote to kitchen, lack of condiments, concern re raised ironwork on drive. Only minor issues, we were very pleased overall.
- Janet, January 2018Sharon “Beautiful barn conversion which has been renovated to an extremely high standard.”
We were two families staying last weekend, and really felt at home there. Thanks to Catherine for providing us with a lovely Welsh produce hamper on arrival which was a lovely touch. Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking at it.
