Pennant Tigi Uchaf Reviews

Richard
There were no curtains or blinds at the living room windows or patio doors and whilst this would be suitable in the summer with the beautiful views while we were there it was dark by 730. This did not make for a cosy atmosphere. The outside seating area was quite overgrown and the steps to the seating area were quite narrow and difficult to negotiate as pensioners.
A lovely property which has been really well maintained. In a beautiful setting.
Pallavi
We had a fantastic stay at Pennant Tigi Uchaf. The cottage's location is perfectnestled in a valley surrounded by beautiful hills, with a breathtaking landscape that made morning tea with a view an absolute delight. The cottage itself had everything we needed, and the owners went above and beyond to help with all our questions, especially since we were traveling with my elderly mother, who has limited mobility. We had a truly memorable time and highly recommend this cottage if you're looking for a secluded spot surrounded by natural beauty!
This was our third stay at Pennant Tigi Uchaf, and we already have plans to return for our fourth. A beautiful house that is well equipped and comfortable. The location is stunning, with incredible views, both of mountains and aircraft in the Mach Loop! Such a great place to just hang out and relax.
A wonderful property in a stunning location. Host was great and interior is lovely.
Myself and 7 of my girlfriends stayed for the weekend in this cottage to celebrate my 50th and it was just so perfect. The location is nothing short of stunning and the cottage really felt like a home from home. As a surprise, my friends had booked us a Private Chef for the Friday evening which was a dream and made our stay even more memorable! If we had to give this place 3 words it would be beautiful, atmospheric and so comfortable with everything you could possibly need. We will be returning!
Rebecca

Muhammad
Beautiful place to visit! The cottage's location is awesome. Inside the cottage kitchen, rooms, and toilets are clean.
Wonderful stay, just as listed. Isolated yet so near everything. Would recommend pushing how warm the cottage is with its thick walls and great heating system. As to the track down we had a Juke. VW troc and BMW X1 and they all managed the track with no problem. Great to have the sheep so close which proved fantastic entertainment for our little granddaughter. Thoroughly recommend a stay here. Brilliant weekend.
Very nice view from house and fantastic location, we recommend this place to stay and we are happy to come back again and again.
What an amazing place such a beautiful house in a beautiful location surrounded ... What an amazing place such a beautiful house in a beautiful location surrounded by mountain hills if I could give it more than 5stars I would were hoping to come again with the family

This home was beautiful and made for an absolutely wonderful holiday. It was like a home away from home for my family of 6 and my parents along for the holiday 8 people total. The owners were quick to respond when needed and very helpful when we realized we left an important item behind. I would highly recommend this place when visiting Wales!
