    There was nothing to dislike.

    Situated in the most beautiful, magical area. Very tranquil. Every thing was just gorgeous. Sarah is welcoming and very accommodating. Needing to add an extra dog and also extra human, not a problem. It was cosy and spotlessly clean. A short walk down the lane we were in a beautiful wood with waterfalls.

    Lovely Property in a nice location with great garden.

    The directions only arrived 30 mins before we arrived with us on M4 and no signal so only appeared on phone when we stopped in Tongwnlais itself ! and they are not good. Satnav does not work to property and bookings.com instructions are totally wrong. I would suggest direct people to Breedon Tongwynlais Concrete Plant (see picture below) and then have a sign by your lane because in the dark we would never have found it. Asked several locals would had no idea where you were ! Also Just eat & Deliveroo & Uber do not find you either ! suggest you might contact them as your guests may want to use. Good well stocked SPAR down road which you should add to info pack (btw the Indian menu is for a restaurant that has closed and changed names) The issue with parking also needs to be noted as if anything bigger than a normal saloon will struggle. The kitchen facilities were excellent - the garden is lovely BUT not dog friendly as lots of 'escape' places so had to keep on lead. Internet also excellent. One selling point would be a smart TV as this is expected these days. The Unit next to toilet gets in the way and is not very pleasant and to make it disabled friendly needs moving and a hand rail/pull up fitted as toilet bowl is very low. Also the bathroom towels are tiny and rough - suggest bigger fluffer ones. The table lamps in the bedrooms were not charged so went out after a couple of minutes had to use phone torch.

    Lovely clean property in a nice location with great garden. Excellent kitchen facilities and dining/lounge area with lots of seating. Luckily good free internet as rubbish mobile signal area.

    Don’t put the toaster on the top shelf in the kitchen cupboard - had to wait for my brother to visit to reach it for me 😆

    Comfortable quiet location near to Cardiff but just outside to escape most of the traffic jams. Excellent for dogs as next to Taff Trail.Great spot for me as close to friends and family.

    Just a couple of basic things like a hand towel and tea towel in the kitchen would have been good.

    It was a very cosy cottage with pretty much everything I needed. It was private, quiet, comfortable and located very well. The short walk to Castell Coch and a nice café was a bonus, as was the sunrise on the hill the one morning.

    Spotlessly clean, warm and cosy, and Sarah the host is so welcoming. I was very fortunate to be able to take my two dogs who also had the best time.

    I had a fabulous 3 nights at Ty Carreg Fach. So welcoming, warm and cosy, with everything you could possibly need. The cottage is beautiful, the garden is beautiful and amazing too. I look forward to returning in the summer months. Its location is fabulous for walks and enjoying the gorgeous countryside. I’m already planning when I can go back!!

    It was really amazing, so the only thing I missed was a chair with back support, and that was only because I wanted to get some work done. On a pure holiday, I wouldn't have needed it with the comfy sofas

    Perfect location, rustic and beautiful interior. Had everything I needed and a real scene of privacy and peace. Wonderful walks really close by. And the owner was a delight - really responsive and helpful, even when I had a very minot request.

    We booked very short notice and 3 dogs accommodated. Directions were sent to us for extra ease of finding the cottage. Sarah greeted us on arrival and spent time to hand over the keys, giving us a tour and making a fuss of the dogs which was very kind of her! We also were treated to a bottle of wine which was a nice bonus. Very cute cottage and would absolutely stay again!

    Due to mobility difficulties the bathroom, particularly the shower was a little restrictive otherwise the property was ideal.

    Outstanding location, well situated for local transport and facilities and in a beautiful setting. The proprietor was very welcoming and friendly and went out of her way to provide support and assistance.

    The toilet flush was not working great, but we mentioned it to the owners, who appreciated the feedback, and they were going to sort it out.

    The cottage has plenty of space, is nicely decorated, has comfy beds and a good coffee machine. The owners are lovely and welcoming. The cottage is situated 2 minutes walk from a forest with 3 well sign posted trails and it’s a great place to go exploring with the dog. Cardiff is easily accessible by car in 15-20 minutes or so.
