Pennant Tigi Uchaf Reviews

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.

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!
