A lovely cottage to stay for a romantic getaway. Lovely owners, lovely area, plenty to do and lots of great places to eat. Would highly recommend.

Louise and Terry were lovely hosts, making us feel comfortable from the start. I left some clothes in the wardrobe upstairs and Louise very kindly got them posted to me. I thoroughly recommend and hope to come back!

My 2nd visit to this beautiful cottage in lovely surroundings. Everything is supplied for a lovely stay. Hosts are lovely and friendly always there if needed. I will be back !!

My husband and I were lucky enough to stay in this beautiful cottage for a week in August. On arrival we recieved a lovely welcome pack, the cottage was impeccably clean, We really cant compliment the hosts and cottage enough, even the gentleman in the local shop was so friendly. We would go back in a heartbeat, My husband really did love the stickmen dotted around the farm, and the sheep were always pleased to see us Would highly recommend The Daffodil inn just down the lane for a 5star meal.

Gunnar

Very well laid out and maintained. Can recommend.

Nicola

We had a lovely stay at Rose Cottage. Despite it's cosy feel absolutely everything we needed was there. The bed was super comfortable. The best sleep we have had in ages. I wished I'd asked where the mattress came from!. It even had air con.... The hot tub was just at the side, covered over for rainy days and a welcome after a day out visiting the area.tje hosts were helpful and friendly but left you be if you wanted and left a lovely welcome pack which was super handy as we forget milk!. You wouldn't regret choosing this cottage. Even had plenty of storage which is always a bonus.

Amanda

Lovely cottage with a wonderful bed. Kitchen equipped with appliances and cleaning products but only a small fridge with icebox freezer. Welcome gifts of milk, eggs, crisps and wine much appreciated. Stairs are difficult to navigate and beams upstairs are very low. Tall people could struggle. Electric reclining sofa is very comfortable. Bathroom is downstairs. Overall, a enjoyable stay. Thank you

Absolutely stunning cottage. Totally spotless . Comfortable home from home everything needed for a perfect stay. Lovely enclosed little garden with hut tub was a bonus. Lovely friendly hosts available if needed. Perfect

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely little cottageit had everything we needed for a relaxing short break. The location was perfect tucked away just enough to escape the hustle and bustle of the seaside towns, yet still within easy reach of charming local villages with great pubs, restaurants, and shops. The cottage was wellequipped with all the essentials, plus some thoughtful extra treats that made our stay even more special. The hot tub was a real highlightjust what we needed after an afternoon of exploring and indulging in delicious local ice cream. We would definitely recommend this place and hope to return someday!

Murray

Rose Cottage was absolutely lovely, we wish we could have stayed Longer. It was clean and comfortable and the hosts were very friendly and welcoming. I will 100 be returning in the future M&S

Christine

Rose Cottage was the most perfectly peaceful and welcoming location to unwind with my little dog. Just a short drive to beautiful beaches, woodland walks and historic sites, with a handy, local, circular walk for the morning before sitting out in the sunny little garden breakfast. The night sky is stunning, with zero light pollution and a delight to view from the hot tub. As a solo traveller, I felt very safe too. The cottage is spotless, cosy, comfortable and well equipped in all areas. Thank you Louise and Terry for the welcome, the lovely treats on arrival and the local information. There is so much more to explore in the area. Wren and I would love to return.

Zachery

Our hosts were very welcoming, the cottage clean and cosy, the bed and sofa very comfortable, and small touches like the fluffy bathrobes to wrap up in after a dip in the hot tub made it all the more special.

Stuart

The only thing that would be beneficial would be lighting in Hot Tub area. Beautiful cottage in a lovely rural area. Inside the cottage is tastefully done with lovely little thoughts such as extra towels and Dressing Gowns for the Hot Tub. Blanket and bowel for the dog etc.

Philip

Nice and welcoming hosts and gifts on arrival. Cottage was quirky, exactly as we expected. Nice little patio which could be made more usable to catch the afternoon sun although we made it work. Lovely and quiet location with great walks and beaches nearby, really enjoyed our stay. Would definitely come back again.

A lovely stay at Rose Cottage, home from home everything you need for a nice relaxing break which we needed and got. Stairs were a bit scary but when you got used to them they were ok, A lovely Quiet, Comfy, clean Cottage really loved the reclining chairs so relaxing, also the bed like sleeping on a cloud. The Hot Tub was situated just down from the cottage which was lovely artificial grass as you go in which was lovely, Solar lights around the top of the fence, Just a suggestion could of done with a bit more light perhaps a security one or a onoff one as it was very dark in the nightAll in All though we really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning in the near future.. Thank you to the Hosts

Tracey

Had a lovely stay at rose cottage, hosts were lovely. Cottage was immaculate grounds are beautiful and every thing just a short car journey away. Handy little shop and the restaurant just at the bottom of the drive way in to the farm. Cottage is small but has everything you need. Stairs to the amazing bed are not for the faint hearted but did not cause us a issue just think before you step. No negatives from us really enjoyed our stay. Thankyou.

Great little cottage , added bonus of the hot tub , ideal size for two people lovely and clean and comfortable. Hosts were very welcoming and on hand if you needed them .

Fabulous cottage, very comfortable, massive comfy bed and new very comfortable reclining settee. Lovely private hot tub. Very dog friendly. Everything was spotlessly clean. Wern Newydd Farm is such a lovely peaceful place to sit back and relax, which was just what we needed, watch the Red Kites gliding overhead and the night sky is spectacular with stars. Would definitely return here!

Beautiful cottage on the tidy farm i have every had the pleasure to holiday on . Terry and Louise are very pleasant and friendly and never bother you would recommend this Beautiful holiday experience to everyone .Will be in touch for a return visit in the feature . Thanks again Terry and Louise

The stairs are a nightmare but was advertised as not disable friendly which we are not the cottage at the bottom of farm is much more appropriate for what we would require . Everything you need is close by hosts were amazing

The staircase to the bedroom is narrow and care should be taken when using it. The hospitality was fab and the complimentary pack was much appreciated. This cottage suited us as we are not the tallest of people. We would certainly use this cottage again.

Shelley

Brilliant cottage! We will definitely be back to this property and will be recommending it to friends. Lovely location on a beautiful farm. The cottage was spotless, comfortable and had brilliant outdoor private garden perfect for bbqs and use of the hot tub. Very friendly owners, and a handy information pack with lots of recommendations and tips. Very good value for money. We enjoyed our stay a lot! Thank you rose cottage

We had a wonderful time at Rose Cottage. The owners were most helpful with recommending local walks for us to take our dog. Everything that you needed in a selfcatering cottage was there and it was sparkling clean. We will look forward to booking again!

Had an amazing time at this cottage and would highly recommend this cottage to anyone seeking a few days away in the rolling welsh hills. Given the current situation, the cottage was immaculately clean and made it easier for us to enjoy our stay. Would 100 rebook this cottage.
