Reviews

“Stayed 4 nights at Arwel over Christmas. It's a lovely little cottage, very old and atmospheric. Evenings with the wood stove going were very cosy. It had everything I needed and was well placed for exploring Caredigion. Beautiful beaches in both directions. Norma was extremely helpful and the mulled wine and chocolates were a welcoming touch.”

“We loved our stay in this lovely cottage, it made our Christmas really special. We loved the walk through the woods to the little beach, it was perfect for our 2 year old. Short drive to New Quay or Llangrannog such a beautiful part of Wales, wish see could have stayed longer x”

“This place is delightful and is situated in the most gorgeous location. The whole feel of the place is special and we had a sense that it is a happy place! So much thought has gone into every feature of the cottage. The saying goes that the devil is in the detail...well as I have mentioned elsewhere before, the angels have definately had a hand in the detail here! Norma was wonderfully helpful and generally things were very easy to manage. I would love to visit again ...and again ....and definatley will do!”
