Angela

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely holiday cottage situated in beautiful area. It had absolutely everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing break, from a wellequipped kitchen to cosy living spaces. The cottage was spotless, beautifully maintained, and felt like a real home away from home. The hosts were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Everything was just perfect. The location was ideal perfectly situated for exploring the surrounding area while still being peaceful and quiet. We especially appreciated how convenient it was for attractions such as fishing, zip world, Mach loop, cycling, white water rafting, walks, and nearby amenities. We wouldnt hesitate to return and would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with the choice of activities, if desired, not too far away.

What an amazing house and exceptional hosts. Finished off to a very high standard, gorgeous welcome pack left for us and nothing is too much trouble for these lovely hosts. We had both houses for our week stay and the space, the comfort and the cleanliness was amazing! We will certainly go back. Even though the house is quite remote which we love and quiet and has amazing views, getting about and seeing the surrounding areas was really easy.

Top quality accommodation. All the fixtures and fittings are of a very high standard. We travel as a large group regularly. Merddwr is without doubt the best home we have rented. The owners live on site and are very friendly and quick to respond. The little things also impressed. The welcome home baked cake, the bread, the Welsh Cakes and the very large fresh farm eggs were very welcome. Enough detergents for the washer and dish washer to last all week was great and very rare in my experience. If you are thinking of staying here, do not hesitate it is Marvellous.

Steven

We had a lovely stay , the accommodation was just perfect for us and the owners were very helpful throughout the stay and very thoughtful as gave my mum a lovely card and gift on her birthday. . The downstairs bedroom was great for my dad with limited mobility. The hot tub was a nice touch and was well used by our party as was the games room too. We will definitely be back .

Stephanie

Just returned from my hen to at Merddwr and all I can say is wow! The property is absolutely stunning and has everything you need and more. Catrin and family have thought out every detail and were so accommodating to me and my friends, always on hand if we needed anything. If you are thinking of booking this cottage I would without hesitation, we will definitely be back in future. Thank you Catrin and family for a very memorable stay!

As a travel professional, Ive stayed in many beautiful properties, both in and out of the UK but this one truly stands out. I stayed 3 nights with a group of my friends and family and we were impressed from the moment we arrived. The house is very, very spacious, immaculately presented, and finished to a high standard, with thoughtful touches throughout. The hosts were very attentive, and provided exceptional support from booking through to departure. A stunning property that I would confidently recommend to my own clients. We have already booked our return visit. Countdown to 2027.

Krystal

A group of 14 girls stayed at this beautiful house! As soon as we arrived we were blown away. We were met by the owners who were friendly and welcoming and it helped that they lived nearby for any support. The support started as soon as we booked and continued even afterwards when some of the guests left belongings. The welcome gifts were a lovely touch and we enjoyed the cake so much we took a photo of the ingredients. The house was spacious and had everything we needed, the beds were comfy, the attention to detail and added touches in the house were amazing and the hot tub added to an already beautiful house! We are already planning on coming back in 2027. Thank you to the hosts

We had a wonderful stay at Merddwr. The hospitality was outstanding from start to finish every message and query we had was responded to promptly and with genuine care. The property itself is finished to an exceptional standard throughout, beautifully presented and immaculately maintained. Thank you for a truly fantastic visit we wouldnt hesitate to recommend Merddwr to anyone looking for a memorable stay in Wales!

Thankyou Catrin for a wonderful stay. The barn is stunning and spotless. Very comfy beds too! Its in a beautiful area of Wales with lots of places to eat and visit. We just loved chilling and the hot tub was wonderful. We had a fab time. Thank you again. Diane and the rest of our girls.xx

Absolutely perfect in every way. The house is beautiful with plenty of room, very airy and spacious. Has everything you would need and more, super comfy beds. Catrin and Guto were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We had the best time, and will DEFINATELY be returning. Highly recommend

Bernadette

We had the most fantastic stay at Merddwr! ! 3 generations of our family came to holiday together between the ages of 3 65 yrs and each thoroughly enjoyed. The house is so spacious, everything has been done to a high standard, the pictures do not do the house justice at all. The accommodation is wonderfully equipped and all areas of the home very well thought out and utilised. The outdoor space was lovely to relax in and as we stayed at the beginning of Spring the lambs and daffodils were a lovely sight, and the evening around the fire pit cwtched up with the blankets was just as lovely! The hosts Catrin and Guto are very friendly people, and nothing is too much trouble. Catrin even made us a delicious homemade cake which was enjoyed!! The bedrooms were all very comfortable, our children especially loved the game area and the hot tub, and the ample area for dining made family meals a doddle. We hope to come back for another visit sometime. Thank you for all of the memories made in your beautiful holiday home.

This is an amazing property in a beautiful location with friendly owners who could not do enough to make our stay perfect. I would give them 10 stars if I could all of my family had a great time and if we are ever in the area again we would definitely return to Merddwr.

Victoria

We spent a weekend at this beautiful house. We were a party of 14 ladies, and we had the most amazing time ! The house is so beautiful and the owners hospitality was just perfect, even making us some homemade lemon drizzle ! The house had everything you could think of, even to ice bags. Thank you for such a beautiful stay xxx

I booked this cottage for a family weekend stay for a surpise 30th. The cottage was absolutely amazing! Everyone absolutely loved it!! Its very spacious, big rooms, beautiful decor, has everything you could possibly need for cookingeatingdrinking. The welcome package was so thoughtful, the eggs were amazing!!
