Could not have found a better place to recharge the batteries. Warm and friendly welcome, great facilities, a clean, modern, well equipped cottage and dog friendly. What more could you want . We will return.

Returned home today following a lovely relaxing week staying in Ty Coed. We, and especially our little pup, had a lovely welcome from all the family. Loved the swimming pool, the grounds and the accommodation, spotlessly clean and comfy. Our little Sammy loved a run in the dog field and on the lawn at the front of Ty Coed. Thank you for our great stay, we will definitely return.

Fantastic week in Pen y Bryn. Very clean and tidy. Lovely inside and out. The grounds at Canllefaes are beautifully kept and for dog owners a seperate secure field to exercise their pooch. Owners are very helpful with knowledge of the local area. If you have a dog, Poppit Sands is the place to go. Trust me!

We have just returned from an excellent week staying at Wheel Cottage and exploring the surrounding area. It was very easy to book with Jamie and Claire, they were extremely helpful answering all our queries quickly by phone and email before our visit and welcoming us when we arrived. The cottage and the farm grounds were excellently maintained. The views of the country side from Wheel cottage were very peaceful it was also lovely to hear the sheep in the neighbouring fields. The hot tub and pool were definitely a bonus. The outdoor pool was such a nice temperature for September, there were also

We have just spent a week at the Wheel cottage. The cottage was well appointed with spectacular scenery. The heated pool and hot tub were much appreciated as was the play area. I loved the secure area for exercising my dog. She was very disappointed that there were no gaps in the fence !!! Jamie and Claire the owners are very friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much bother. We will be back. Highly recommended

Our cottage (Ty Coed) was great, lovely and clean and all the grounds/facilities are maintained brilliantly. We all enjoyed the pool, especially as we were lucky to have amazing weather! Field for the dogs is great too. Owners very friendly and really helpful. Definitely recommend and will be going back!
