3 bedroom accommodation in Dihewyd, near Aberaeron

Excellent accommodation, had a fantastic stay. Very peaceful

Well presented cottage it has everything you need for a great stay. Plenty of towels and even robes. Spacious and modern and dog friendly. If I could give one suggestion as a party of 6 all different age groups it would have been good to have an additional TV in one of the bedrooms.

My only issue was we were not informed of the parking on the flat until halfway through the week.

We had an amazing stay at the Beudy cottage, this spacious venue with its stunning views has everything to offer for a relaxing stay, not to mention the hot tub!!! Xx

The barn conversion is located in a beautiful area surrounded by nothing but fields. We stayed in Beudy which is all on one level and was ideal for us with our dog. The property is spacious with two main bedrooms, a room with bunk beds and a kitchen/dining area. There is an en-suite bathroom/wet room to one main bedroom and a further bathroom with a shower over the bath. The kitchen was well equipped and the washer/dryer and dishwasher were very handy. There was a lovely welcome pack on arrival too. Unfortunately there were many things broken or looking tired around the property. They included the shower screen in the separate bathroom did not fit properly onto the bath edge, the extractor fan did not work in the wet room, the outside front light did not work and had visibly been broken for some time. This caused us to be wondering about in the pitch black when taking our dog out at night as the torch supplied was useless. There was a broken, dog chewed dustpan and brush and the hairdryer only worked on full heat and power from the plug being on or off, the switch on the dryer was broken. They have replaced I presume a broken or missing dvd control with a new universal control but it wouldn’t link to the DVD player so you could only press the functions play or pause from the unit. The owners contact details were clearly available in the property guide for us to contact them about anything but in my eyes, these things should have been correct in the first place and we did not see the owners until 9am on our leaving day after our weeks stay. The most disappointing part for us was the condition of the back enclosed patio area. Although a hot tub was located here, it was an area you would not want to spend time in. There was a rather shabby, rusty and greened table and chairs and the state of the grey painted walls and the slabs were awful. As we’d seen, we were expecting little lights standing up along the wall, in reality we got there to broken (we presumed at one point solar lights) fallen down in an overgrown grassy mess. No pots, just a bare yard which desperately needs some TLC. With regards to the area, there is a petrol station and a good shop within a mile or so and excellent roads into Aberaeron, New Quay and Aberystwyth to name but a few. There is a field opposite good for children or dogs but the picnic table seemed to have been dumped for some reason right down in a grassy corner so we didn’t use it. When we booked the barn earlier this year, the rating was 5* which was then reduced to 4*. In our opinion, the property we stayed in is a nice 3*. The beautiful scenery and surrounding area could not be faulted.

Spacious property, kitchen well equipped quiet location with countryside views. You do need a car very narrow lanes. Hot tub great, WiFi not great. Great for dogs as patio is private and secure. Was better cottage out of the four.

Excellent location Well appointed accommodation

Lovely welcome pack on arrival. Everything in kitchen you would need. Very private, we had a field behind us with some friendly cows which our 17 month grandson adored. Great for a family holiday but no where within walking distance.

We arrived on a lovely evening to find the cottage ready. Easy access as a key safe holds the key. We were amazed at the size of the cottage. The rooms are all big and space is not a problem. We weren’t quite sure about the hot tub buttons, and a quick phone call saw Alan coming down in the morning to make sure we were happy with it. There was a lovely welcome on the table. A bottle of wine, savoury crackers (cheese in fridge), a pack of welsh cakes and some toffee waffles. We chose our bedroom, the one with the en suite shower room. There was a high level loo which was great (why put a low loo anywhere let alone in disabled toilets?) It makes life so much easier. The shower had a really good fold up seat, and access was especially good. The bed was really comfortable and the storage more than ample. There is a settee too. There is a door to the rear patio where the hot tub is. The other bedroom also as a king size bed, but the bathroom with bath and shower over is accross the hall, perhaps as it needs to be shared with a room with bunk beds. Again ample furniture and a settee. The living room has a 3 seater settee, 2 seater settee and bucket chair. TV is decent size and the DVD would have been essential had the weather not been 20 degrees (In February) The kitchen is as well equipped as most - just silly things extra would be good - like 2 spatulas to enable the turning of things without using a fork in non stick pan. Seriously instructions for using the hob would have been really helpful. It was like everything - easy when you know how ! We felt Beudy was the best of the 4 holiday lets - because it was on the end. Essentially it is all one level and so easy for access. You have your own parking space at the back. We sat out having breakfast on 6 of the 7 days. There is a patio at the front set high up and overlooking lovely open countryside. Red Kites are soaring above almost all the time. They come really close to the barns. The patio area at the back is really private with a further table and chairs beside that wonderful extra - the hot tub !!! We used it at least once every day and squeezed in an extra go whenever we could........So warm and relaxing - in February ! We even spent a couple of sessions in the dark looking up at the night sky. Its very dark skies and so lots of stars. There’s a bird feeder next to the tub with numerous birds and the neighbours are just sheep. The barns are in quite a central area. The Elan Valley is wonderful - you MUST go there ! Its about 45mins drive. The coast has many lovely little coves with pretty beaches. There’s a woodland nearby run by the community which is still wild to walk in. The Bretons are near enough for a day out, again 45mins to and hour. Llyn Brianne is spectaculour with a mountain road (the real deal) to get you there. Find the dam and theres a really great walk round the resevoir. (Don’t get on that mountain road in the dark or fog though). There are numerous towns like Lampeter to visit if you like shops - and there a lots of independents. I would recommend Beudy or one of its barn neighbours to anyone who likes a relaxing place to stay in the middle of nowhere but with masses to do right on the doorstep. There were walkers staying in 2 of the lets when we arrived, but it didn’t really seem like there was anyone there from a noise point of view. We would stay at Beudy again if we want to be in that area. One of the best lets we have stayed in. Alan came every day to check the hot tubs. He would always chat if we saw him, but was never intruding.

Absolutely beautiful and tranquil!

Loved it! Will definitely be booking to return.
