Cottage vacation rentals in Cwmystwyth

We've stayed here before. I only mention that because what other recommendation do you need if it's somewhere you go back to? We love the private dog-friendly location and private garden - not to mention the jacuzzi. Excellent kitchen, shower room, TV, dining table and bedroom. A short drive from New Quay and Aberaeron. The host Rachel is lovely and friendly - also responsive in answering messages.

We all had a truly wonderful stay at The Dairy in South Wales. The cottage is charming, beautifully kept, and perfectly nestled among rolling hills and countryside walks — an ideal spot to switch off and unwind from the demands of everyday life. The surroundings are peaceful and scenic, with plenty of walking trails right on the doorstep perfect for our 2 dogs what where with us!Whether you're after a gentle stroll or something more adventurous, the area is a dream for nature lovers. Our hosts were absolutely fantastic — warm, welcoming, and always on hand if needed, without being intrusive. You can tell they really care about making guests feel at home. Even giving us milk that we forgot to bring with us-! Lifesavers! If you're looking for a peaceful escape with stunning views, fresh air, and a real sense of calm, I can't recommend The Dairy enough. I left feeling rested, recharged, and already planning a return visit! Thank you so much guys, see you soon!

A wonderful warm welcome awaits in this picturesque corner of wales. Beautiful rolling countryside and utter peaceful surroundings. A lovely break away from it all where nothing is too much trouble for the host to ensure you have a great stay!

We stayed at the cottage with 3 adults and 2 children. Hosts were friendly arrival then left us to it during our stay but we knew they were on hand if needed. The cottage is lovely. Very peaceful and secluded yet only a 10 minute drive from the local town. The hot tub is a real bonus and ideal for relaxing in the evenings for adults and kids. There are goats on sight that the kids loved to visit every day which was great. Secure garden was ideal for our dog. Overall it was a great stay and I would recommend.

Just returned after two nights in Mabel cottage. We had such a wonderful time and would highly recommend. Debbie was very helpful and the grounds and accommodation felt very special. Such a peaceful place to rest and recharge. Perfect pitstop for our hiking trip. Thank you both.

We stayed with our baby and 3 dogs. Lovely cosy cottage with everything we needed, including high chair and books/toys. Perfect location and beautiful surroundings. Paul was great to chat to and gave good local reccomendations for dog walks, beaches and places to eat. Hot tub was ideal as well!! Would recommend

The cottage is beautiful and set in beautiful surroundings. Although the weather wasn’t that great , we still had a fantastic time and the hot tub was lovely. I would definitely recommend a stay here .

Highly recommend - an immaculately clean and well-presented cottage in a secluded spot made for a tranquil weekend. Great communication from booking through to leaving and restaurant recommendations were very much appreciated. We’ll definitely visit again.

The accommodation is situated in beautiful countryside with good walks in all directions. Its spacious and well equipped which led to a comfortable stay. Rhayader is nearby with shops, pubs and restaurants, ensuring we had everything we needed for a good holiday.

This cottage truly is magical. It’s historic significance and beautiful restorations make it a very special place to stay. The Cottage has an amazing log burner that really kicks out the heat and the host kindly left plenty of wood for us to use. Cozy and compact with all the basics. Perfectly placed for adventures and coastal walks.

We had a fantastic week at Aberdar. The weather was amazing all week, so we spent our time outside enjoying the garden, orchard and stream, and sitting at the various seating areas to avoid the wind if it got too strong. We only made 3 trips away from Aberdar.. a stunning part of Wales and it was hard to put the camera down. A pleasure to drive on the pothole free roads and we hardly saw anyone apart from friendly farmers. Our anxious rescue dog was very happy enjoying the space and he was relaxed all week, as were we. Aberdar has it all.. very clean and homely, very well equipped with everything we needed, useful information file provided for guests, beautiful views and loved hearing the sheep, cows and stream. If you are tall, remember to duck when going through the doorways.. we kept forgetting! This was a very special trip for us and we will be returning!

What a gorgeous place if all you need is peace and quiet and the sound of the birds this is for you. Even better is it’s only 25 minutes from Abergavenny and it’s Waitrose 😉. Wilma was lovely and updated us with everything and replied with answers to our queries . We are only annoyed that we took so long to find this little gem!

We had a lovely stay at Simon’s beautiful cottage. The bed was really comfy and there was no external noise (apart from the sheep!). It was such a peaceful few days and perfect for us with our 7 month old daughter and dog. The cottage is set on the hillside with stunning panoramic views. The garden is fenced all the way round and there’s a perfectly placed bench to watch the sunset. The interior was kitted out to a high standard and had all the basics you would need. Simon was very friendly and offered some great local recommendations. We will definitely be back one day to visit again - thank you!

We had a fantastic 4 night break over the Easter holidays at Richard's cottage. The house is very clean, nicely decorated and looks even better than in the pictures. We loved the garden and used this a lot during our stay. The views are stunning and are a real selling point, especially if you're after a low-key, tranquil break in Wales. We made use of the log burner & outdoor fire, which were nice additions to our stay. We were also lucky enough to see a meteor shower on the last night! We have two dogs and as previously mentioned in another review, the garden is well secured but our dogs are reactive to livestock. We managed this by letting the dogs out early morning and late at night or with our supervision. It was no big deal to us but worth mentioning as the horses do stick their heads over the fence. Thank you for a brilliant stay. We said it was the best Airbnb we have stayed in and would love to stay again. Melissa and Luke.

We had an amazing stay at Martin & Karen's place. The cottage is amazing - feels very homely and is kitted out with everything you could possibly ask for. Location is great - very peaceful and perfect to explore the rurarl surrounding. I worked from 'home' for a couple of days and the wifi was great for video calls etc. Would love to visit again!

A lovely well equipped cozy place to stay. Rhiannon and Rob were very friendly and great hosts. Great communication and lots of goodies left for us. The dogs were very friendly too 😆😆. Would definitely visit again. 👍👍👍

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful cottage, easy walking distance to shops & restaurants & everything provided for a home from home that made our few days relaxing. Stunning scenery & walks with plenty of places to visit. Would definitely recommend a stay to friends.

Do not hesitate to book this place if you’re staying in Hay. Beautiful little cottage, great location close to the river walk and the village, not far from the bus stop. Two bedrooms upstairs with comfy beds, great shower/tub, wood-burning stove downstairs, well appointed kitchen with everything you need, lovely garden out back with chairs to sit in the sun and listen to the birds. Would definitely stay here again.

Ceri was a great host and made fantastic gluten free bread for us. The bnb was very cosy and right next to the river which was very peaceful. Lots of walks in the town and within a 20min drive. Highly recommend for a quiet weekend getaway surrounded by forests and beautiful hiking trails.

This was a wonderfully peaceful and cocooning place to stay. We had a fantastic few days at the aptly named Wildernest and could not fault a thing. Our kids loved the space the roam, the animals, the trampoline and discovering the toys and games in the barn. We slept very well on very comfortable mattresses and left feeling restored and refreshed. Many thanks to the hosts for having us.

Gorgeous cottage in beautifully peaceful surroundings and walking routes from the doorstep. We loved staying here despite rain and the beautifully kept private gardens that guests can access on Thursdays are just lovely to walk around with birdsong all around you. We enjoyed the guest gardens with views to the distant Brecon hills when we had a quiet moment. Very easy to find and Alastair provides excellent additional information on restaurants, walks and local amenities. You are only 30 mins from Hay on Wye and other lovely places.

Cottage had eveything we need. It was very clean. Jenny is very friendly and flexible.

Beautiful house in a stunning location. House had everything we needed, including lots of space. Would definitely book again.

Fantastic hosts! Definitely be back. Quiet and peaceful. Very helpful. Superb spot….don’t hesitate to book in here, it is definitely well worth it! Thank you for everything Catherine. Kind regards. Lloyd, Carol and Ben
