Jacqueline
Ash cottage was just perfect. We had two amazing weeks there and will definitely be returning to continue to explore this beautiful part of Wales. Les and Lesley were always on hand to check everything was OK. Our stay was home from home in the sense that the cottage was perfectly equipped and very welcoming and comfortable. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch too. We had a couple of wet weather days so the washing machine, tumble dryer and drying room were an additional bonus. Thank you to Les and Lesley. We agreed that our two weeks at Ash cottage was a favourite holiday and we felt relaxed and refreshed. The cottage was just perfect for us and all facilities were excellent.
Very high standard of accomodation in a very quiet rural area, coupled with a private hot tub made for a very relaxing and much needed winddown. Well situated for Cardigan BayNewQuay area with nice local villages and pubs to visit. Les and Leslie were great hosts too.
We had a fabulous stay. The cottage was amazing with everything we needed including a substantial welcome pack, Thankyou. The owners were very friendly. Our favourite part of Wales !
Kirstin
Fantastic location, fantastic hosts, every detail has been thought of absolutely loved our stay
Eileen
Ash cottage was absolutely amazing. It was like home from home, very clean, very cosy. It had theWOW factor as soon as you walked through the door. The location was also amazing, could not fault it at all and will definitely be going back at some point next year. The property owners Lesley and Les were very approachable and nothing was too much trouble, and very knowledgeable of the surrounding areas and best places to visit
Joanna
The cottage was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The location is perfect for a relaxing holiday and all beaches accessible within a short travel time. Newcastle Emlyn is a 10 min drive. Would totally recommend and will definitely return.
We had a lovely relaxing time again. 3rd visit So quiet. Everything is beautiful, so clean and well cared for. Has everything you need and with les and lesley being on hand if theres anything you cant find. Dont be put off by being inland has good access to the coast. Lovely area to stay as well
What a lovely cottage this was. by far the best we have been too so far and will no doubt go again. owners were great always there to help and have a chat! cottage was clean and well equipped there was everything you could possibly need for a great holiday. hot tub was superb for relaxing in.
Stewart
The property was ideal for a holiday. It was clean and comfortable with all of the facilities you could need. We really enjoyed our stay and our dogs did too
We were warmly met by the owners who had left a lovely welcome hamper for us. The cottage was meticulously clean and every comfort was provided including lovely fluffy gowns! There were plenty of books and games to keep us occupied when it rained. It would be nice to have some sort of shelter and fairy lights by the hot tub so we could use it in really bad weather.
Philip
Great place so clean you could eat of floors, everything you need right down to dressing gown, great places to explore lovey couple could not do enough for us. Had washing machine,dryer,and dish washer what more could you want will be back ther next year hopefully.
Lovely cottage with warm and welcoming hosts.
The weather was not the best during our stay but was always a pleasure to go back to the comfort of the cottage. The welcome basket was an added extra, but most of all how clean the property was, comfortable beds and wonderful settee! The hosts were very accommodating and nothing too much trouble. Fab walks directly from the cottage all fantastically detailed within the brochure! Will definitely be back, lovely!
Leanne
The hosts were fantastic and the cottage had everything that you would need for cooking, we enjoy home cooking so it was good we could still do that as required.
Wonderful hosts. Beautiful welcome pack and even dressing gowns provided. Quiet, cosy, comfortable. Perfect way to relax. Would definitely return.
Stephen
We had a fabulous holiday! West Wales is so scenic and provoked emotions. The Autumnal colours did not disappoint! Great cottage and awesome hot tub.
Beautiful cottage so well equipped with every possible need. Even a steamer which we prefer to use. Good quality bedding and towels. The welcome pack was so useful seeing you over till you can do a shop. Cottage so warm and comfortable. Every thing was just that bit more luxurious. Would go again.
Anthony
The cottage was lovely and very well kept and we loved the hot tub. Little things like washing machine and tumble drier were fantastic, and so was the dishwasher with enough dishwash tablets for the week!
Everything we could have wished for and more, A peaceful and quiet location, only 2030 minute drive from the coast, Cardigan, New quay, Aberearon etc, some fantastic little beaches too. Lots to do everyday and cottage was so wonderful we looked forward to going back there after a busy day, hot tub was fabulous. Everything is so clean and every detail and item thought of.
We had a lovely week staying at Ash Cottage, the owners were very friendly and helpful. The hot tub was fantastic and just what we wanted at the end of a day walking, exploring the beaches. A garden to play with the kids was all that was missing, but the WiFi was good so that kept them happy! We found loads to do, and were blessed with excellent weather. Nearby Newcastle Emlyn is a great little town, plenty of eateries, a good antiques place and a small supermarket.
Fantastic cottage in beautiful setting. We were so comfortable and had everything we needed. Hosts were excellent very friendly and helpful. The welcome hamper made us feel very special on arrival. It was so lovely to have a hot tub to relax in. Everything was so well maintained and spotless. Cant wait to return.
Sheilagh
We had a wonderful holiday in Ash Cottage. The word perfect certainly applies here.
The cottage was exceptionally clean and well stocked with everything you would need. The owners were helpful but never intrusive and provided some really useful ideas about places to visit and things to do. We had a lovely time.
Geraint
We really enjoyed our break in the cottage even though weather wasnt good we still got around to places and it was nice to go back to alovely cottage and relax fab hosts also .
We were met on our arrival at Ash cottage and were made to feel welcome right away. Throughout the week long stay, because the close proximity of the cottage owner's home we were usually in daily contact with them and passed the time of day discussing various topics. The cottage was clean,tidy and very warm,the addition of the welcome pack was an extra touch to make you feel more welcome, the hot tub was also nice to relax in on return from our days out and about. The whole experience because of this made the holiday more like we were staying with friends instead of owners and guests. A perfect relaxing holiday.
Claire

Terence
The location and quietness surrounded by beautiful countryside, not too far from the beaches and the National Trust cliff walks Wales is a very much underrated holiday destination, but I think the public are coming to the conclusion that with its wonderful beaches, rocky coves, fantastic cliff walks, well maintained roads and cheaper rates for admission chargestickets etc. that Wales is the all round hot spot for couples and families alike.
The cottage was so much more than the photos on the website showed, it was so well equipped and if there was anything else that we needed the owners were there to help.
A lovely cottage with really friendly owners who have great local knowledge and made th stay so wonderful.
Our cottage was beautifully presented, We were welcomed by the hosts on arrival, Les and Lesley are lovely people who made sure we had everything we needed before leaving us to enjoy our break. There was a welcome pack waiting for us. This contained everything we needed to get us started and was a lovely thought. We booked Ash Cottage because we wanted a hot tub and this did not disappoint. The tub was great, clean and well looked after. I would highly recommend Sykes based on the experience we just had.
Michael
Superb cottage, friendly and helpful owners, recently installed hot tub was the icing on the cake!
