A wonderful place to spend some time. I've just returned from our week-long holiday at Croft Farm. There were three generations of us staying in Talar Aur and we all had a truly brilliant week. The location is excellent - seemingly in the middle of nowhere for peace and quiet, yet only a few minutes drive from Cardigan Town centre and supermarkets to stock your kitchen cupboards up from. Within half an hour (and often 15 minutes) you can reach many brilliant sites and beaches and keep busy constantly admiring the jaw-dropping scenery. We were lucky with the weather for October but it would have

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Croft farm with our two young daughters. Despite the indoor facilities being closed due to COVD restrictions, Andy went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable with animal feeding and petting whilst keeping everyone safe. He has such a great way with children. Once the children were asleep, we then really enjoyed our evenings with the BBQ and hot tub.
Croft farm is ideally located in beautiful countryside close to the coast for days at the beach and boat trips.
We'll definitely recommend a trip to all of our friends!

We had a wonderful stay at Croft Farm & Celtic Cottages, great service throughout from booking to departure and friendly help from Andy & Sylvie. The cottage (Meadow) is spacious and beautifully detailed accommodation with a welcoming feel (oh the glorious hot tub), a chance to feed the animals and a well organised swimming pool too. Great location for exploring the glories of north Pembrokeshire and into Ceredigion.

The accommodation was stunning. Although we couldn't use the indoor pool because of lockdown, we really enjoyed the hot tub. The owners are lovely, friendly and gave us lots of recommendations for places to visit nearby. We loved feeding the animals onsite too. We have already started planning to book here again!
