    We really enjoyed our time here. Very clean, very warm house, spacious and bright. Better than in the photo. Great location, the views around are mesmerizing. Very responsive owner, clear instructions and a generous list of recommendations, which we happily used and were more than satisfied.

    Nothing. Everything was spot on.

    This is an amazing house that is secluded and rural. With rolling Welsh hills and uninterrupted views. There is only one other property that is also available for holiday renting and the owners house. The garden is private and not overlooked. It felt like we had Wales to ourselves. All 3x bedrooms are well appointed with linens and towels. One has an ensuite bathroom and there is also a separate large shower room with WC and basin. The kitchen is large and fully stocked with all the crockery, cutlery and utensils. There is a dishwasher, microwave, oven, fridge freezer and electric hob. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning again soon. The house was very clean, neat and tidy.

    We got so used to keeping the heating down at home that it was a little warm at times but that's just personal (and financial) preference. Although it's a bit corny we were very sad to leave

    So quiet yet easy to get to. Beautifully spacious and comfortable. We instantly fell in love with the whole experience. Very easy to get up and go exploring Cardigan Bay and Pembrokeshire. Jon gave detailed instructions before and was helpful during our stay. He just made the whole thing so easy. Would definitely stay again

    Driving up the lane to Cuckoo Barn was beautiful, a real wow as you came over the crest of the hill, the sun set it off perfectly and then on entering the property it was just as much of a wow too. The barn was renovated and kept to a very high standard and with lots of tasteful character and all the facilities you need including excellent wifi, its difficult not to sound OTT but we loved it. The location was stunning and worth the extra few minutes coming out of town, if you want to treat yourself then this is it. One afternoon Jon called in to check everything was OK and was very charming, all the information/communication regarding the stay was excellent, highly recommend.

    fantastic property, comfortable and in a very pitoresc area!!! We absolutly loved beeing there and ever wanting to return to the area that will be the place to book again and again. Having a coffee early morning, in a comfortable chair, in front of the big windows, watching the hills and the very calm sheep… what would you want more for a relaxing stay? clean, spacious, really good sleep, well equipped kitchen… writing is makes me want to go back there tomorrow! Thank you to the lovely owners for sharing such an amasing place!

    Once comment would be that we could not find the ash bucket for the fire, so was unable to have a fire on the second evening. We only realised quite late so did not want to disturb the owner though I’m sure this could have been sorted and luckily we were not cold.

    This property was in a beautiful setting. The property itself was also beautifully decorated and the underfloor heating was a nice touch.
