“Lovely property!”

! Perfect location and a lovely area. The property just felt like home we could have moved in. Such lovely features and the garden was so pretty and secure for our 17 month old we didn't need to worry he was going to get out or get hurt. The property was very child friendly with high chair, cot, stair gate and even nappies; they thought of everything. Just maybe a stair gate upstairs would have been helpful but wasn't too much of an issue as all the doors shut. Was great to have milk, jam and ...

! Perfect location and a lovely area. The property just felt like home we could have moved in. Such lovely features and the garden was so pretty and secure for our 17 month old we didn't need to worry he was going to get out or get hurt. The property was very child friendly with high chair, cot, stair gate and even nappies; they thought of everything. Just maybe a stair gate upstairs would have been helpful but wasn't too much of an issue as all the doors shut. Was great to have milk, jam and everything else for when you arrive. The owners are so lovely and couldn't do anymore for you they were so helpful. Couldn't hear any construction noise inside the property as work was going on next door and over the road. Which was amazing! The property the owners are doing up next door looks just as fabulous. Will definitely be back! Was the perfect holiday to get engaged.

“We (my husband, myself and our dog) had a very comfortable stay at Fern Cottage.”

The garden was just perfect to let the dog out. We found everything we needed in the kitchen. It was home from home. Thank you for a relaxing break.

David August 2024

“Had slight difficulty finding Fern Cottage as there was no house sign.”

The lack of parking nearby was an issue but l understand this will be resolved soon . Construction of parking space ongoing during our stay. Aberporth is a super seaside town with really friendly locals. The occasional view of dolphins feeding in the morning is very special.

- David, August 2024

Thank you for staying at Fern Cottage and pleased to hear you all had a great time. The parking space and signage is due to be complete shortly which will make it easier for guests to find and load/unload during their stay. Aberporth really is a lovely seaside village with blue-flag beaches and bottlenose dolphin sightings along this part of the coast. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Update: we now have private parking at the cottage with signage to Fern Cottage. Property Owner
Alice July 2024

“Fern cottage was the perfect place to stay and enjoy a family holiday.”

We loved being so close to the beach and the coast path. The garden was lovely and we were able to eat outside when the weather was warm enough. The cottage is cosy but spacious and the well equipped kitchen meant we could enjoy cooking. All in all a lovely cottage and we liked it so much we’ve already booked to come back.

- Alice, July 2024

Thank you for booking Fern Cottage and delighted to hear you had such a wonderful time! The beach and coast path are a real delight at all times of the year and you can sometimes see dolphins all the way between Aberporth and Tresaith along that stretch of the coastal path. Thrilled to hear you have booked another two weeks with us - we look forward to welcoming you back next year! Property Owner
Michael May 2024

“We were not very happy at all, although fern cottage is beautiful.”

We were told by yourselves that the work men working across the road, would not start till 9. They started every morning at 8am. So although we loved the area, this really spoilt it for us. And would definitely stay somewhere else next time. We got in touch with the caretaker, who said the owner would phone us. So very disappointed that he never bothered to get in touch. I would not let this cottage till the work is complete.

- Michael, May 2024

Thank you for your feedback. Sykes were asked to contact you regarding the building work as this was discussed with them prior to your booking. We apologise this was not done. As the nearby works and start/end times of the contractors are completely out of our hands we can only apologise for any disruption caused. Aberporth is a very busy coastal village - we do hope you enjoyed all other aspects of our cottage during your stay and look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner
Rhian November 2023

“We had a lovely stay and loved the cottage.”

As mentioned in previous reviews there’s building work going on opposite from 7.15am until approx 4pm as there are 15 new houses being built. We were out and about early so not an issue for us, but might be if you wanted to sit in the garden during the day. The bathroom is lovely but you do have to step into the bath to use the shower, not easy if you have mobility issues. The cottage is well equipped, warm, clean, and welcoming the only thing missing was toilet paper

- Rhian, November 2023

Thank you for staying at Fern Cottage - pleased to hear you loved the cottage. We understand from the site that the building works are nearing completion now - unfortunately the start and end times of the contractors are outside of our control and will likely vary as the weather and scope of works change. We have shared your feedback with the housekeeping team and thank you for bringing this to our attention. Look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner
Lynn October 2023

“Very quaint seaside cottage.”

The property owner went out of their way to ensure we has a lovely stay. Great holiday.

Thank you for your feedback and delighted you had a lovely stay. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner
Sian September 2023

“We had a wonderful stay at fern cottage.”

Amazing location and lovely and welcoming. Some amazing walks from the doorstep and literally 2 mins down the hill to an anazing beach. You can see the sea from the garden! We will definitely come back to our new happy place.

- Sian, September 2023

Thank you for your feedback - delighted to hear you had a wonderful stay. Aberporth really is an unspoilt part of Cardigan Bay and there is plenty to explore nearby. We look forward to welcoming you back to your new happy place! Property Owner
Kevin September 2023

“We were very tentative before travelling owing to some negative reviews.”

The staff at Sykes cottages assured us the problems of cleanliness previously highlighted had been addressed this proved to be the case. The cottage although has no parking has a lovely enclosed garden is 5 minutes walk from a great pub,5 minutes from a shop which sells most things and is open 7 days a week and 4 minutes from a splendid beach. I cannot comment on the chippy (5 minutes away) as we didn't use it but it was very popular. One thing to take into account for the next 12 months is the building site work taking place directly opposite the cottage so no lie ins or quietly reading in the garden!

- Kevin, September 2023

Thank you for your feedback - delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay at the cottage. We are working on securing parking at the property in 2024 -watch this (parking) space! There is building work taking place in the field opposite the cottage currently which has been screened off by the building contractors. Unfortunately this does happen across the country - however we have always found them to be considerate and polite. The chippy is definitely worth going to if you get the chance. Aberporth is a busy and popular village at all times of the year so there is always plenty to see and do. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner
Anna August 2023

“When we arrived the cottage was filthy, dog hair everywhere and used bedlinen and towels.”

We asked for help and messages showed they had been read but we got no response. It was really upsetting, especially for our children. We had to clean the bathroom and strip the beds ourselves and organise to borrow bedlinen. This isn't what we should be doing on our holiday! We weren't able to enjoy the property as described for the first 2 days, but are still waiting for any compensation. The outside bins are over-flowing, the kitchen oven, microwave and cupboards have not been cleaned at all, cushion covers all need a wash, the bath plug doesn't work and basics such as tea, salt, toilet paper weren't provided. I have never experienced anything similar in many years of visiting West Wales. I have photos evidencing all of this. I truly can't understand not apologising or providing compensation. They haven't even bothered to return the bedlinen we borrowed yet and we are expected to keep using our time to chase. We have clearly not received the service we paid for and will be pursuing the matter if required. Everyone should receive a clean, comfortable welcome to start their holiday and if problems occur they should be communicated and addressed swiftly.

- Anna, August 2023

Thank you for your feedback - we are sorry to learn of this as we understand the changeover was not completed and the housekeeping team were unresponsive. We confirm that we have changed our cleaning provider and housekeeping team (Oct 2023) - all linen and towels have been replaced with new. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future for an altogether better experience. Property Owner
Chris August 2023

“Wonderful cottage in a fabulous location.”

We enjoyed a fantastic week at Fern Cottage. Everything met or exceeded our expectations, we were very comfortable and appreciated all the home comforts provided. The location in Aberporth is perfect as is so close to the beach and amenities. We would definitely return.

Thank you for your feedback - delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay - we look forward to welcoming you back in the future Property Owner
Christiane July 2023

“The cottage is very tastefully decorated and great location.”

We have felt overall comfortable. There are a few drinking glasses and cutlery missing when there are five of us. Unfortunately, there was no place to put clothes in the master bedroom, so we had to live out of an opened suitcase for a week. The dressers in the other two bedrooms are too small to store clothes in. There are no options for hanging jackets on the first floor. For a resort with such changeable weather, this is very impractical. There were five of us there and we always had to throw our jackets over the baby chair. In the bathroom no possibility to hang towels for 5 people. A few hooks next to the door or opposite the washing machine would solve the problem. The oven and the trays in it were unfortunately covered in dirt. There was also dog hair in it.

- Christiane, July 2023

Thank you for your feedback and pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay. We will add more drinking glasses and cutlery at the cottage as it seems that breakages etc were not reported. Thank you for letting us know. We have changed our cleaning provider and housekeeping team (Oct 2023) and the property has undergone a deep clean. All linen and towels replaced with new. We take your points on board and see how we can incorporate more storage at the cottage - you can get 4 seasons of weather in one day, so this is a good idea. Look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner
Catherine March 2023

“Lovely comfortable cottage well placed for beach and amenities in Aberporth.”

Our third time back to Fern cottage and will be booking again very shortly for this year.

- Catherine, March 2023
Anna August 2022

“Excellent location, just minutes from the beach.”

The cottage was very clean and good instructions left for all appliances etc. We had a really comfortable stay would highly recommend this cottage. My only thing would be that if you have very small dogs or a dog that likes to escape then the garden isn’t totally secure as there are holes and gaps in the fence. I just made sure when my dogs were outside I was always out with them to avoid them escaping!!

- Anna, August 2022

Thank you for your feedback - pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay! We will look into how we can make the garden more secure to stop any little ones escaping. Look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner
Jenny August 2022

“This is a lovely cottage in a great location which has been decorated really nicely, however it has not been well maintained or cleaned properly between guests.”

examples 1) dirty and damp towels folded on beds 2) dirty kitchen floor with red wine spills 3) black grit and hairs in bunk bed sheets 4) dishwasher electrocuted both my son and myself - electricians came promptly and found the socket fill of water from leaking washing machine! 5) freezer compartment full of ice so door would not close and water constantly leaked onto floor 6) carbon monoxide alarm went off but we couldn't find source of terrible ear splitting noise for hours but cleaning man came to sort our after 2 hours and removed it so we no longer had the safety of an alarm. Otherwise the garden is lovely and if it was cleaned and well maintained I would highly recommend this cottage in a perfect location!

- Jenny, August 2022
Gwyn August 2022

“We had a lovely family break at Fern Cottage.”

What a lovely, quaint cottage. Everything you could ask for and the dog friendly side of the beach just a walk down the hill- perfect! The sofas and beds were super comfy and the treats for family and dog were just an added bonus! Diolch yn fawr!

- Gwyn, August 2022
Sonia August 2022

“Fantastic stay in a really lovely cottage.”

Had everything we needed & more especially for our little dog & a brilliant location just 2 minutes from the beach. It is a lovely area, we really enjoyed our stay!

- Sonia, August 2022
Sarah June 2022

“Fern Cottage in Aberporth is lovely, offers nearly everything you need for a great holiday.”

The house is nicely decorated, and included all the facilities most people would need to make an enjoyable stay. The safe enclosed garden is a superb extra. The fact that no where in the village is that far to walk is also a real bonus. We did have some problems with the shower head (needs a new fitting to make it stay upright) but we were able to still use it during our stay. It might also be worth the listing stressing to anyone booking the cottage that the short walk up and down the hill to the beach/ local pub/car parking area might cause some people with mobility problems or families with small children an issue. We were okay with this but with no pavements and a reasonably steep hill to walk up we would expect anyone arriving without knowing this might be surprised and it could ruin their stay (although they ought to be aware before booking they are holidaying in scenic Wales) It's a shame that there are still regulations around the previous visitors book as we have been on UK cottage holidays for over 30 years and always find these a first stop in arrival as they are a very useful addition to help quick navigation to best places to visit/eat/shop in the area we are staying. Our stay was so enjoyable it left us knowing we will be booking to stay in that area again in the future.

“We had a wonderful relaxing week in a lovely peaceful and very comfortable cottage a short walk from a lovely beach.”

- Catherine, June 2022
Susan June 2022

“Fern cottage was in a good location near to cafes, restaurants, pubs and the beach .”

A well equipped cottage. The cottage wasnt clean there was big stains on the rugs and furniture, black iron mould round taps in bathroom, the cabinets hadnt been wiped out there was toothpaste on the shelves , dirty toilet, the toilet kept blocking up and there was a plunger at the side so this must have been a previous problem which hasnt been sorted out, the microwave wasnt clean, there was sticky food mark's on the table , there was a space in the work tops which should have been sealed i, in the gap was crumbs and cobwebs, sealant missing round the sink in kitchen and food particles round the taps. The bedding was clean but there were things under the bed that if it had bern hoovered would have been picked up. Dog poo in the garden.

- Susan, June 2022
Stefan May 2022

“Unfortunately when we arrived the property was not clean at all.”

There was dog poo in the garden and dog hair all over the furniture. The property also smelled like dog which is not very nice if you don't have any dogs. Unfortunately we did not get any compensation for any of this and also the offer to have the cleaners come by again a day later was not really helpful since we have small children and it is impossible to keep them contained for so long, so we had to clean everything ourselves. Apart from the unpleasant start we had a nice time. Once properly cleaned the property is a nice place and so is the surrounding area. The bathroom could use some maintenance, for example the shower is broken and does not have any water pressure, so if you want to take a shower you are forced to stand against the wall. Also the coffee machine was broken unfortunately.

- Stefan, May 2022
Ben March 2022

“The cottage was not clean when we arrived.”

The problems were as follows: The cleanliness problems are as follows: - Black Dog Hair on Floor - Black Dog Hair in Bath - Black Dog Hair on Childs High Chair. - Floor Generally Filthy (Daughters Clothing on the Knees and legs went from White to Brown in 2 hours) - Dust on Lampshades collected with hair. - Dirty Bowl left under Sofa. - 5 Dog Poos left in the Garden (we checked when we arrived) - Crockery requires a clean before every use. More general problems include: - The shower Head does not retain its position. This is an easy fix. - The shower Shelf is Broken. This is an easy fix. - The drawer in the Kitchen (R of the Dishwasher) is broken. This is an easy fix. - There is Black Mould/Damp in the Master Bedroom which is where the cot is. This is noxious and needs to be dealt with and not hidden behind furniture. We told the owner and they had the cleaning company contact us. The cleaning company made 1 slot available on Monday which was not possible as they demanded we not be present in the cottage at the time and our 1-year-old knaps between 0930 and 11. They offered 1000. I was not prepared to spoil her day so I did a full clean myself on Sunday morning.

- Ben, March 2022

We are sorry that the guests at Fern Cottage had not experienced the high standards we usually achieve. We are grateful for an opportunity to respond. We do use a very reputable cleaning company and we are sorry standards were not up to their usual high level. We have taken this up with them and we know that there was a bereavement they were dealing with which has affected things. We know the cleaning issue will not happen again. The cleaning company did offer 2 further slots to come back to the cottage not just one which were both rejected. We asked for photos which were not forthcoming from the guests (even though they said they would be provided). . We always ask guests to leave the garden clear but on this occasion it appears was not done, but we have emphasised there must be a careful check each time. The cottage has been fully repainted this week up upstairs by a professional firm of painters and the slight mould dealt with The other minor fixings are being dealt with. Its not always possible to maintain a perfect house but we try. We are sorry that the standards were not as expected. This is very unusual for us to get these comments. But we will endeavour to rectify the issues as soon as possible and thank you for the opportunity to respond. Kind regards Property Owner

“Very comfortable and extremely well equipped.”

Our grandson who generally dislikes staying away from home immediately settled and gave the cottage two thumbs up (he is non verbal)

Kim November 2021

“Lovely spacious cottage in the quaint seaside village of Aberporth.”

Private safe garden for children and pets. No on-site parking but free parking a couple of minutes walk away. Lovely and cosy in the winter, must be fabulous in the summer as just a short walk to sheltered beach, and cliff walks.

- Kim, November 2021
Jane September 2021

We had an excellent holiday. The only small point was the WiFi didn’t work.

Linda August 2021

“We had an amazing holiday as always Super clean - super comfortable.”

Initial unloading a bit of an issue as there is only narrow pull alongside road to quickly unload before parking up the road - but this is not the properties fault - just no parking Everything we needed from coffee pods to toys and high chair for the baby. X

- Linda, August 2021
Michael August 2021

“Fern cottage is just a short walk from the beach, which worked well with our young children.”

We had to plan ahead with parking, but didn’t cause us too many problems. Would be difficult if you have accessibility needs or young children and just one adult. Worth booking ahead for the Boy Ashore.

- Michael, August 2021

“A lovely cottage for a family of 4 & a small dog.”

It was clean, well equipped and perfectly located for beautiful beaches and walks. Sun trap of a garden! Car parking is at the village hall which was absolutely fine. Great weekend - thank you.

- Richard, April 2021
Charlotte September 2020

“Great cottage, in a fantastic location for the beach and coastal path walks.”

Fern cottage is charming and has all the facilities listed. The little garden is fully enclosed and great for dogs. Parking at the nearby village hall is very close and easy. Many thanks to the owners for a lively break away in their delightful cottage.

- Charlotte, September 2020

Really well equipped and close to the beach, with a sea view from the garden. We loved it

Mark October 2019

“We visited Fern Cottage 3 years ago and our return visit this October was just as successful.”

Great weather so lovely walks along the beach with our Springer. Husband and son played golf several times. Cottage was very clean and well maintained. Great location for the dog friendly beach.

- Mark, October 2019
Leanne August 2019

“We had a wonderful weeks stay in Fern cottage and Aberporth was a beautiful place to visit, excellent location and a great base to explore other areas close by.”

The coastal path to Tresaith was something we enjoyed doing as a family along with our dog with a stop off for refreshments at the Ship in. Only minor points, would have expected there to be more than 1 dishwasher tablet, only 1 toilet roll and no way of lighting the prepared log burner on the evening of arrival until we could get to a shop, however other than this we were very happy with the cottage itself.

- Leanne, August 2019
Lindsey July 2019

“Very pretty cottage in a great location for walking on pristine dog friendly beach.”

Villagers all friendly and helpful. Looking forward to returning.

Toni May 2019

“Just arrived back from a week in Fern cottage, we had a fabulous holiday, there was four in our party, my mum and my two young boys, one and three.”

The cottage has lots of character is very homely so you can settle right in from the moment you get there. The parking situation was a bit awkward, there's a car park just down the road not far at all but trying to unload two small children and our daily baggage was not easy, we got beeped at a couple of times. The washing machine was a massive plus, we couldn't of managed without it after all those days at the beach. If you visit then Penbryn is a must, the beach there is just beautiful and secluded, Mwnt is also a nice little addition. Boat trip at New Quay and the Cardigan farm park were a must too as we spotted lots of Dolphins and seals. Rockpools at Newport are great fun for kids, make sure you go at low tide and theres a cafe on the golf course above so you can top your energy up.

Vicki April 2019

“The cottage was perfect for a family break.”

We stayed with my parents and 1 and 3 year old. It was very child friendly, with all the equipment we needed. The open plan living area downstairs was great for us all to relax in. The garden area was safe and secure. The location was excellent, close to the local shop and lovely beach. Highly recommended for family with small children.

- Vicki, April 2019
Helen March 2019

“Beautiful cottage, great location, very clean and cozy, the owners have thought of everything to make your stay here as comfortable as possible.”

The only negative comment would be that the garden is not fully enclosed as described, we have a medium sized dog that would have got through the gaps in the fence quite easily so unfortunately couldn't let him off the lead, having said that we would happily stay here again.

- Helen, March 2019
Clare December 2018

“Lovely, cosy cottage with everything we needed for our stay.”

The beach was a short walk away and was wonderful for our little dog.

- Clare, December 2018
Linda September 2018

“The cottage was stunning.”

Impressively clean. Very handy to beach. Lovely facilities. Netflix a bonus. Lovely thought leaving milk and tea and coffee. Loved the big bath. :). Nice to have stunningly white towels too. A couple of slight negative things which I thought of:- The garden was said to be secure. There were large gaps between the wood fence strips. This was filled in by a piece of wire. Unfortunately my one dog is small and could easily get out (which he did the first day/ not far though). I would suggest you chicken wire the fence to make it fully safe. There was also quite a lot of dog mess - mostly hidden under the tree and round edges/ obviously someone had had a dog there with an upset tummy :( (we picked it all up) the main grass was fine. The only other negative was the white owl kitchen door knobs kept falling off...... Otherwise THE PLACE WAS SUPERB - WE DIDNT WANT TO LEAVE.

- Linda, September 2018

Suzanne May 2018

“Really lovely cottage very clean and beautifully furnished.”

Weather made it even better as spent alot of time walking and spending time at the beach.Great idea to make it dog friendly as we would not have gone on holiday without them.

- Suzanne, May 2018
Donna April 2018

“We loved our stay at Fern Cottage and in Aberporth.”

The photos are a good representation of the cottage, it is lovely, comfortable and homely. We went as a family of four, two children and two dogs. We felt the cottage was good for us but I'd suggest it'd be a squeeze for 4 adults with two children, just in terms of lounge space. The cottage is presented really well with lots of lovely details and the kitchen is well equipped, if anything it only lacks any freezer space and a dvd player but you don't really need it. Wifi worked well. The local village shop supplies a lot of things, there are several cafe's close by and the beaches are fabulous. The small garden caught the late sun well and we had our first alfresco dinner! When arriving you can park up and unpack but you then need to find a place to park. We were able to leave our car behind the village hall just up the hill from the cottage.

- Donna, April 2018
Sarah March 2018

“The cottage is absolutely gorgeous, literally two minutes from the beach.”

It’s pretty and tastefully decorated. The only thing stopping me giving it full marks is the shower was very very temperamental but apart from that (and the weather!) it was perfect.

The property

This pretty former fisherman’s cottage is tucked alongside similar properties, just a couple of minutes’ walk from the sandy beach of Aberporth, a thriving seaside village on the stunning Cardigan Bay coastline.

This semi-detached cottage is a perfect base for families or friends looking to enjoy the benefits of a traditional seaside holiday, with plenty of nearby activities and miles of coastline to explore.

Set over two floors with three bedrooms, there is also a well-equipped galley kitchen and a spacious sitting room with everything you need to make the most of the dining area, with comfy seating and a cosy woodburner.

Outside, you can sit in the pretty enclosed garden with distant sea views across the garden, relax on the patio and enjoy watching the sky change colour as the sun sets over the horizon.

The Wales Coast Path passes through the thriving village and opens up fabulous walking along sandy beaches such as the National Trust’s Penbryn, rocky coves of Llangrannog and local fishing villages of Tresaith.

You are ideally placed to explore the wonderful coastline of Cardigan Bay with a variety of beaches a short distance away, including Mwnt with its iconic white chapel.

The Ceredigion Coast Path follows a 60 mile route between Cardigan and Ynyslas.

The coast path goes right through Aberporth near Fern Cottage and links Llangarnog, New Quay, Aberaeron Llanrhystud, Aberystwyth to Ynyslas.

The sweeping crescent of Cardigan Bay has a varied landscape and terrain including a wealth of wildlife and the largest number of bottle nosed dolphin sightings in the UK.

About the location

ABERPORTH

Tresaith 1 mile; Penbryn 3 miles; Llangrannog 5.5 miles; Cardigan 7 miles; Poppit Sands 8.5 miles; New Quay 15 miles.

Aberporth is a small town that sits on the southern edge of Cardigan Bay in Ceredigion, renowned for it's fabulous beaches that attract visitors, all year round. There are two beaches that sit between the rocky headlands of Trecregyn and Fathgarreg, separated by a smaller rocky outcrop. Uniquely, at low tide they interlink, but at high tide, they create individual beaches and create great rock pools for the children to play in and explore. Small boats, canoes, and kayaks can easily be launched from the north beach, while the south beach lends itself beautifully for a spot of sunbathing. Close to the beaches, there is a small seaside café, fish and chip shop, and a friendly pub serving good food and drinks. In the village itself, there is a range of shops and takeaway stores. Nestled directly on the famous Wales Coast Path, between the towns of Cardigan in the south, and Llangrannog and New Quay to the north, it is a great base for exploring this glorious stretch of coastline. Venture to Cardigan and discover the town’s many shops, tea rooms, restaurants, pubs, and bustling markets. Visit the nearby themed farm park, spot dolphins from the coastal path, or take a boat trip for the chance to see them up close! Aberporth is a great base for exploring this wonderful part of West Wales, with something to do for all the family.
