Ty Twt Reviews

I'll cut to the chase with the negative parts first, there is no way on earth we're ever going to enjoy a Sykes Cottage or air B&B as much again. We've used both sites from cost cutting for hotels for HenStag do's all the way up to a sleeps 12 with a hot tub. This place blew our minds, the cleanliness, the attention to detail, the lovely people they are, the secluded environment, oh my word it is just a little slice of paradise. When I walked out such perfectly manicured lawns and land, the hedges so pristine, you really feel like Lord of the Manor. There are enclosed spaces for dogs, a huge field, a segregated picnic bench that's enclosed once again, perfectly mowed grass... if you have a dog this is perfect. If you have a bike or an Ebike this is perfect. It's about 34 mile to the woods and then it's complete solitude all the way through to Lampeter. The only noise is the birds, its and absolute sanctuary and is an absolute gem of a place to find. Absolutely the best sykes or air b&b we've ever stayed. We both shed a tear from leaving. Book it. Do it. Exceptional. I just wish I could upload the vids and pics on this review as the listing pics DO NOT DO IT JUSTICE. Just want to go back.
Fantastic accommodation brilliant location and the owners were so nice and accommodating nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend if you are looking for the perfect break.
Ty Twt is a lovely cosy cottage, its very comfortable and welcoming with a great log burner. It's well equipped and welcome pack complete with Welsh cake was very nice. The owners Penny & Digby are lovely couple and nothing is to much trouble. The bird feeder in back garden is amazing with all sorts of birds feeding from it all day long. We had fantastic break there and will be back there soon.
Our second time here absolutely love it. Im sure we will be back for a third time. Penny and Digby are very welcoming.
Natasha
Fantastic stay. The property owners couldnt have been more helpful and welcoming. It has been so well thought out, I did a lot of cooking and we wanted for nothing.

Lovely comfortable cosy cottage in a peaceful, tranquil location, ideally situated for exploring the beautiful Ceredigion countryside and coastline. Lovely hosts too. Would definitely recommend.
An absolute dream of a cottage to stay in. It was perfect, and set in such beautiful surroundings. Our hosts Penny and Digby, were lovely, so helpful and welcoming. The cottage was immaculate, with a thoughtful welcome pack provided for us and Jasper. Beautiful walks around the cottage grounds and from doorstep. We were lucky enough to spot red kids, woodpeckers, as well as a number of tit varieties and squirrels. If peace quiet and relaxation is what you want, you couldn't ask for anywhere more perfect. I can't praise this place, and it's hosts enough. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Nicky, Allan & Jasper x

Beautiful setting, great views. Our hosts Penny and Digby were welcoming and friendly and couldnt do enough to make our stay pleasant and comfortable. Thankyou Penny, Digby and not forgetting Peca and Poppy four legged friends Pam, Roger and Molly
Our second stay at this lovely little cottage and it won't be our last. Our hostsPenny and Digby do everything to make our mini break as comfortable as possible. Not only was there a generous welcome pack which included treats for our dog as well as us, but Penny went the extra mile and made us the most gorgeous chocolate cookies. Thank you. Our dog enjoyed the freedom field so much and can't wait for our next visit too. We loved seeing all the various birds who came to our bird feeder especially the woodpecker. Even the birds can't keep away from beautiful Ty Twt.
Ty Twt is a lovely splendid cottage full of charm and character. It was extremely clean, comfortable and homely to the point we couldn't find fault with anything. The furniture and bed were very comfortable. The wood burner added another dimension making it feel very cosy and romantic. The information pack was very informative and useful. The back garden and the surrounding grounds were beautiful both for us and our dog, Peggy. It was an all together wonderful stay at the cottage and Digby and Penny were so friendly and delightful. They were the best hosts you could wish for in every way. We would highly recommend a stay at the cottage and we will definitely be returning in the New Year. David & Noreen
Only one word is needed to describe this property. Perfect.
Ashley
Great hosts, fabulous surroundings and peace and quiet. What more could you want? Penny & Digby were perfect hosts. Will definitely return.
Melanie
We had the most wonderful time in this little cottage. The location is absolutely perfect for a relaxing and peaceful stay. The grounds are beautifully maintained and really secure for our dog. The views are incredible up on the hill. We drove no more than an hour to various beaches and towns, Abaraeron, Llangollen, New Quay and Aberystwyth. The cottage itself was warm, spotlessly clean and really comfortable. Its one of the nicest places weve ever stayed in. Finally, the hosts Penny and Digby were so friendly and helpful. Well be booking again but for longer next time!
Christopher
We had a fantastic holiday . The cottage was comfortable,clean and well equipped. We loved watching the birds in our sheltered garden and seeing the stars at night. Digby and Penny were excellent and thoughtful hosts. If you want a relaxing break away from the hustle and bustle of modern life this is the place to go.
Thank you Penny and Digby for making us so welcome. We had a lovely restful time at Ty Twt. Having stayed here previously we knew the area. The beaches nearby being dog friendly were great. Although the weather was changeable we did have a couple of fine days. Thanks again and best wishes for the future.
What can we say, well not a bad word! The cottage was perfect for myself, my husband and our dog. It was a home away from home, we got so lucky with the weather and got to spend so much time in the garden and grounds. There are so many lovely walks in the local area and the owners, Penny and Digby recommended several places for us to visit. Nothing was ever too much for them and they made our stay just that extra bit special! Would we stay again, absolutely!!! Already looking at dates for next year. The grounds and gardens were full of wildlife, if youre a twitcher you wont be disappointed. A slice of heaven in Llanfair and Im so sad our holiday had come to an end.
Douglas Brian

This is an amazing cottage set in a wonderful location, Digby and Penny are fantastic hosts who couldn't do enough to help you have a relaxing holiday. We will definitely return.
Rebecca
Beautiful stay for the week at Ty Twt. Penny and Digby couldnt have been more friendly and accommodating. The cottage was beautifully clean and had countless personal touches from a welcome basket to a book sharing corner on the landing. Ty Twt had everything you needed for cooking& to say our 4 legged baby enjoyed the stay would be an understatement! Frank loved the dog field and making friends with Poppy and Peca. Penny & Digby gave us lots of tips and pointers on where to go in the local area and had provided plenty of leaflets in the cottage to inspire our stay. The garden of the cottage was beautiful and the surrounding grounds were beautifully kept. We had a lovely time watching the birds in the garden& using the binoculars left by Penny& Digby. Would 1000 recommend this cottage for a perfect stay!
We had a really relaxing and peaceful holiday here. The owners were very helpful and the welcome tray was much appreciated, as was their local knowledge of what was worth visiting.
Ty Twt is a fabulous haven for peace and tranquillity. The cottage surpassed all our needs lovely little private garden with amazing birds visiting the feeder continuously we saw a woodpecker, sparrows, blue tits, great tits, blackbirds, robins and chaffinches oh, and a squirrel. The skylight in the bedroom gave us our own private viewing of the myriad of stars visible in the night sky. This was very hypnotic and added to our sleep quality. The owners were lovely people so helpful and kind nothing was too much trouble for them. We loved the scrumptious homemade chocchip and fudge cookies which we devoured very quickly. Our Husky Malamute, Ariya, loved the dog exercising field and we made good use of it in our short stay. She really enjoyed her freedom too. We will definitely be returning as soon as we possibly can. Thank you again.
We spent a great 3 days here with our springer spaniel. Owners were very helpful even when my wife took a fall due to our dogs lead entangling her by providing the use of a walking stick. the garden is enclosed allowing the dog to wander safely. There is also plenty of outdoor space for the dog to wander safely. good log burner with a fire guard , wifi ok & central heating.
A lovely cottage in the countryside. We had the most relaxing week and our dog had a great time too! The cottage was very clean and provided with all the utilities you might need, the bed was super comfortable and if you have a dog you couldn't ask for more. There is an enclosed field you can use to let your dog run off lead and it's a proper big field. The owners are very nice and shared their knowledge of the area which helped us choosing the best places to visit. Highly recommended!
Ty Twt was everything that I was looking for in a relaxing break. The cottage was wellequipped with extras for both me and my dog. Penny and Digby were attentive without being intrusive, and on hand with local information. They had thought of everything to make the stay as comfortable as possible. Thank you so much.
What a delightful cottage! Tastefully decorated, extremely well equipped and very comfortable, with a genuinely 'fully enclosed' garden for our dog, as well as a very large field for longer off lead runs. A beautiful, peaceful, very rural location, early morning walks were disturbed only by birdsong! Penny and Digby couldn't have been more warm and welcoming, happy to chat, nothing was too much trouble and we would not hesitate to recommend Ty Twt and to return ourselves. 1110!
As usual I had a very relaxing holiday at Ty Twt and in spite of variable weather was able to get out and about every day. The grounds and garden maintenance is top class and it is nice to see it change over the years. Look forward to returning in 2023
Geoffrey
Good location, great owners who are helpful and friendly, surrounding grounds are lovely.
Compact comfortable cottage with everything you need to make your stay memorable. Well maintained gardens and very pet friendly welcoming owners. I have been staying at this property twice annually for about 8 years and apart from the sometimes weak wifi connection which would possible trouble people who MUST have a phone it is ideal and the bird life is a joy to watch.
