Thank you so much for a wonderful stay at The Barn for Christmas. Perfect location with everything we could ever need - including the best cake I’ve ever eaten! We visited Poppit Sands, Cei Bach, Cenarth Falls & Aberporth. Can’t wait to come again!

Had the most amazing few days here. A real home from home. Dogs loved the field and the woodland walk. A cosy Christmas in front of a log burner was just perfect. Can’t wait to come back here. Beautiful little holiday. Thank you!

Had a lovely late October break in 'The Barn' with my husband and pooch. What a beautiful little cottage and in such a lovely area. The homemade lemon drizzle cake was a lovely treat to arrive to after a long drive and Lauren was so lovely and helpful with suggestions for walks. We loved the big field at the back of the cottages and the woodland walk was perfect for short wanders on days when you just wanted to rest and relax. We had such lovely neighbours for the week too which was great. Will definately be back! Highly recommend!

Wow! What a wonderful week of fun and adventure. The cottage is charming, and the area is delightful. So many nice places to visit, Mwnt cove, Cilgerran Castle, Tenby, Solva - I could go on forever. Thank you to Lauren and Chris for being so friendly and approachable and helpful in answering questions. The cake was a very welcome addition. The woodland walk was an excellent way to end most evenings and we are sneaking in a last walk around today before leaving!

We had a wonderful week at the stable which had everything we needed and was the perfect base, it felt like we were surrounded by nature ( Kites,buzzards, bats,jays,foxes,rabbits) and was so relaxing. Lauren and Chris were amazing…special mention needs to be made to the lemon drizzle cake which went down a treat at the end of a long coastal walk. Places I’d recommend would be Cardigan, Mwnt beach( where we saw dolphins!), Solva bay, Cenarth falls, Tenby and so many more. Also cannot recommend highly enough the Nags head, it’s a ten minute walk and the food is delicious, the drinks are cold and everyone there is so friendly.

Perfect location with a magical little woodland, perfect for Alfie 🐾 to explore and chase rabbits. Will definitely book again and recommend to friends.

The Ridgeways

01 Jul 2023

We have had a great couple of weeks, The Stable is comfortable, well equipped and Lauren was great - very welcoming and helpful, even helping with our pup Chester with his fear of people. The paddock is a great space for a quick run around but also for training the dogs, everyday we managed to find fantastic places to visit along with numerous beaches. Thank you for having us, we will be back I am sure!

Another relaxing break, our third visit for our birthday break. Weather could not have been better. Plenty of beach and woodland walks. Our feet and both our dogs are tired but happy. A lovely cake from Lauren, a bonus. A warm welcome as always. See you soon xxx

Lovely accommodation in beautiful surroundings. We’ve had an enjoyable relaxing week despite rain at times. Ventured into the woods, wellies or boots definitely needed for crossing the stream. We visited Newquay for a day, enjoying the sandy beach. A lovely visit to Cenarth Falls. Chris & Lauren are lovely hosts and have clearly spent a lot of time improving the house since taking it over. A lovely nostalgic trip for my brother as he stayed here a few times up until 2004.
Already booked for 2 weeks in the Summer :)
Thank you

Fantastic place. Very relaxing. Lauren & Chris - thank you for making our stay enjoyable. Merlin loved the field every morning, afternoon and night. Amazing walk around the woods and playing in the stream. We will certainly miss this tranquil place. See you on our next visit x

Outstanding - don’t want to go home! I definitely would like to come back. My wonderful dogs have been so happy. We have walked in excess of 50 miles - woods, forests and bridle tracks. My heart belongs here. Thank you so much!!

Lovely stay and beautiful cottage. Lemon cake - best I’ve ever tasted! Lauren has been fantastic. Loads of space for the dogs, they’ve loved it! Very much enjoyed ourselves. Thank you.
PS - Lauren, if you ever decide to go into the cake business, let me know!

K & N Moriarty

28 Nov 2022

Absolutely fabulous holiday! Being able to get outside and let the toddler and dog explore something new every day, was just what we were after. Lauren looked after our dog one day, so we could go to Folly Farm which was amazing. The Nags Head was wonderful for an evening meal or just a pint after a busy day! Cake was a lovely touch and went down a treat. Will definitely be recommending Aberdwylan to friends & family and hope to return soon! Thank you x

We just wanted to say thank you for a lovely week. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Stable cottage is very well equipped and comfortable. We had a beautiful roast dinner at the Nags Head on the Sunday. They were fully booked but kindly squeezed us in.

We did the woodland walk twice, visited Cenarth Falls, Ffynone Waterfall, Caws Cenarth, Poppit Sands, Mwnt Bay, Penbryn and Llangrannog and did a boat trip from New Quay and even got to see the dolphins, which was just magical. It was an added bonus to see BBC Autumnwatch this year being filmed from the Teifi Marshes.

The cake you kindly baked for our arrival was wonderful with a cup of tea and how lovely to have freshly laid eggs. We bought a box back with us. We will definitely be recommending you to family and friends and we look forward to returning in the future.

Wow, what a find! Chosen with our Cockerpoo Lottie in mind - her first holiday. We’ve all loved it here. Plenty of woodland walks, paddling in the stream, beaches, waterfalls, marshes - all dog friendly. Had a really lovely Sunday lunch at The Nags Head, probably the best roast we’ve had! (Glad we booked as they were full!). We found The Barn really comfortable, so toasty with the log burner. Very peaceful here, so nice to be away from the busy city. Welcome cake a delicious treat. Will be recommending here. Both children say they don’t want to go home!! Thank you

C Dennis

28 Oct 2022

We have had a wonderful stay, thank you. Beautiful cottage and grounds - amazing for the boys! We enjoyed biking, coastal animal park, golf and beaches - Poppit Sands, Saundersfoot, New Quay and Tresaith Beach. We had a lovely evening at the Nags Head. Thank you for your yummy cake and your kindness.

Thank you Lauren & Chris for our stay in the lovely Stable. Great for the dogs. Both safe and happy! Beautiful surroundings and fabulous nature on the doorstep!!

S&B Creamer

09 Jul 2022

We’ve had a fantastic week here. We booked the two cottages with our friends because we had a dog and they have two. Unfortunately, our dog had died by the time of our stay. Lauren painted a beautiful memorial stone for us that will remind us of our dog and also of our holiday here. We had a lovely Sunday lunch at the Nags Head as well as the first night. We visited Poppit Sands and had a great walk along the beach to the pub for lunch.
The cottage is a great home from home. Very comfy bed!! We hope to return again - it’s a prefect location.

L&P Sainsbury

09 Jul 2022

We have all very much enjoyed our stay at The Stable. The cottage is very comfy and well-equipped. The cake was delicious! The dogs have enjoyed having loads of safe space to run and play in and plenty of rabbits to watch. We have seen lots of the beautiful Welsh countryside and particularly enjoyed our afternoon stroll up to The Roundhouse.
Thank you both for making us feel so welcome xx

H&R Willmot

02 Jul 2022

We have had an amazing week of relaxation in The Barn, initially being greeted by one of the best cakes ever and settling in to the warm and inviting accommodation. The land here is just perfect for our Doris who was living her best life in the field, woodland and stream whilst exploring more further afield at Poppit Sands and Cenarth Falls, both I would thoroughly recommend with or without a dog.
Thank you so much to our hosts Lauren & Chris for such a warm welcome and would suggest all visitors look at the gorgeous painted stones done by Lauren - we have purchased one as a memory of this place xx

Our 6th stay here! It feels like our 2nd home! We just love it more & more. Each time we visit it’s perfect for our little family. As ever, thank you Lauren & Chris xx

Had a lovely relaxing break in perfect accommodation. Loved the lemon drizzle cake - thanks. Bailey loved the garden, field and woodland. visited some beautiful places - NewQuay, Aberaeron, Ffynone waterfall, Poppit Sands-beautiful beach, and Cenarth Falls.
Lauren & Chris everything you need for a great holiday, but also leave you to enjoy your stay, whilst being on hand if needed.
Definitely will be back next year x

Fantastic stay at The Stable! Our Spaniels were in heaven with their very own woodland and river to wander in!! We had some lovely trips out (thanks Lauren for the info in folder - very helpful!). Very much appreciated the cake! And are heading home with batteries thoroughly recharged! We will be back! M x

M Lisle

11 Jun 2022

We arrived on 4th June & couldn’t have picked a nicer place to stay for our first visit to this part of Wales. The accommodation & location are second to none & perfect for any family with a dog. The grounds are secure enabling your dog to explore to its hearts content. Our rescue dog was allowed off lead for the first time & had an absolute blast in the field & the woodland walk.
The lemon drizzle cake has already become a legend & is a lovely welcoming touch.
We particularly enjoyed our visits to the dog friendly areas - Ffynone waterfall, Poppit Sands (beach and dunes), Gwbert (small coves), Cenarth Falls, & Llangrannog Beach. Mwnt is a glorious beach but dogs are not allowed during the Summer season.
We will definitely return!

J Gorski

11 Jun 2022

A wonderful week in a perfect place to relax and enjoy good walks and amazing beaches. The cottage is great with everything you need for a home away from home. Thank you Lauren and Chris for the welcome and the delicious cake!! We will be back!

Another relaxing break in this little slice of heaven. A warm welcome from LAuren & Chris. The cake was delicious - and much appreciated. Thank you!
We have visited Poppit Sands, Aberporth, Tresaith, Pen Y Bryn beaches. Also Ffynone Falls, the river walk at Newcastle Emlyn, Cilgerran Castle and river walk. Our dogs have had the best time and are now exhausted.
This is the second time we have spent our birthday week with you. I’m certain there will be a third time. Thank you for everything xxx

A&J James

13 May 2022

We have had the most fantastic week full of adventure! Our day trips have taken us all over this beautiful part of the world. Mwnt and Penbryn were favourite beaches, thoroughly enjoyed by all of us. Gizmo’s first proper seaside swim! Our son loves birds so we ventured further afield to Nant Yr Arian visitor centre to watch the Red Kite feeding - amazing! We loved the woodland walks, eggs and lemon drizzle. Thank you for allowing us to create some wonderful memories.

J Martin

23 Apr 2022

We have all enjoyed our week here. Our youngest has loved watching the chickens and getting fresh eggs every day. The woodland walk with the bluebells out is lovely, We have made two trips to New Quay! The walk to Cenarth Falls and back was great. Thanks to Lauren for all the local info and the cake! PS The weather has been just perfect.

C Panther

There is not much more we can say that has not already been said. Beautiful house, wonderful countryside (and garden) and a lovely week of peace and quiet. Not forgetting the lemon drizzle. Thank you.

M&W Chapman

01 Oct 2021

What a welcome!! Thank you for the delicious cake (on arrival). We loved meeting your charming young children. Fresh eggs in the morning. We honestly don’t want to go home! We’ve had a wonderful time, revisiting childhood memories & visiting places we haven’t been to before. The cottage was perfect & our dogs loved their walks in your meadows & woodland. Will be recommending to family &and friends.

I&M Rees

25 Sep 2021

Had a lovely time. The weather was very kind and so had trips to lots of gorgeous beaches. Poppit Sands is lovely, and parking on the beach in Newport stopped us being dragged to the shore by giddy Labradors!!
The outside space is amazing and was very much appreciated by the dogs (and us). Particularly the woodland walk and the river. Thank you.

S&M O’Brien

18 Sep 2021

What a wonderful week we have had. We arrived with the sun and spent days on the beach at NewQuay and watched a pod of dolphins off Poppit Sands. A walk to the nearby waterfall wore out the dogs who slept till 9.30am the next morning!!
The cottage is perfectly equipped with everything you need for a home away from home.
Lauren was helpful and understanding of my serial clumsiness. We would love to come back as we feel that we have barely scratched the surface of places to visit.
The best holiday I have had in the UK in a long time. Thank you.

Thanks so much for this brilliant stay, it has been wonderful and we have had so much fun throughout this week. Lauren and Chris you have been very welcoming to us and we really appreciate it, and not only have you been kind, you have also recommended beautiful places to visit. Hopefully we will be back.

C&C Roberts

16 Aug 2021

We’ve had a brilliant stay. Beautiful, idyllic place with really comfy and well equipped accommodation, Lauren & Chris - you’ve been really welcoming and helpful with tips on places to go with the kids. I’d recommend you to anyone. We’ll hopefully be back. Thank you.

Just got home from a super week staying in The Stables. What a beautiful spot the cottages are set in. Enclosed garden for our dog and acres of woodland with streams for the children and dog to explore.
The cottage was extremely clean and there was a home baked cake waiting for us on arrival. Highly recommend this little gem.

M Carnell

08 Aug 2021

We have had an amazing week at The Stable, we all loved the walk through the forest and how beaches were very close. The cottage was beautiful inside and out (but especially the beds, they were very comfy), We will hopefully be staying here again. Thanks xx

The Castleton’s

26 Jun 2021

The stable cottage is beautiful x it’s lovely and clean and is very spacious. It’s in great surroundings with a closed in garden and large field behind and woods to explore behind that. We thought the welcome pack was very informative and helped a lot when choosing where to go. The cottage is in a great place within easy distance to get to different beaches/walks.It was lovely to sit in the garden and just listen to the countryside. Chris and Lauren gave us a great welcome and nothing was to much trouble for them . Would definitely recommend x

L Mcmaster

30 May 2021

Arrived to a lovely welcome from a Lauren who updated us of all the facilities in & around the farm.
Once in The Stable, wow what a treat, so spacious, cottage feel & decor was spot on. All facilities were spotless & when we came across the freshly baked lemon drizzle cake, it was amazing, it was so soft & hit the spot after a long car journey. The beautiful woodland with so much wildlife enjoying them too.
We were introduced to the chickens that laid there eggs m, so fresh for a perfect breakfast.
Wanted to stay longer, beautiful spot & can’t wait to go back again.
Best of luck with your forthcoming wedding. Xx

Thank you so much! The Stable is well equipped and comfortable and perfectly located to experience all that West Wales has to offer. Our cockapoo’s have had a whale of a time (mostly wet and/or muddy). They don’t want to go home and neither do we. Hopefully we will see you in September - if you have room?? One week is not enough!! (The Drizzle Cake - Yum!!)

A&J James

15 May 2021

Me and hubby decided to get away with our two Cockapoo’s for our birthdays (Same day). Wow! We couldn’t have chosen a more perfect cottage or location....

We are on day 3. We are staying in The Stable. The cottage is spotlessly clean and well equipped. The bed is so comfy. I can honestly say we have never slept in such a comfy bed! Our dogs have 17 acres to explore - right outside our cottage. They are loving it 🐶❤️🐶

So far we have visited Aberporth beach, Cenarth Falls, Poppitt Sands, Ffynone Falls, Cenarth Woodland walk - all within 20 mins.

We had the best ever Sunday Roast at The Nags Head yesterday and have booked to eat there again on Friday. We had freshly laid eggs for breakfast this morning 🐓👌 The Lemon Drizzle cake...it’s to die for! 😋

Tomorrow we will be doing the Circular Woodland Walk, through the bluebells, starting right from our cottage.

Lauren and Chris are very helpful and accommodating without being intrusive. In fact I don’t want to go home.....

We will definately be back!

A James

Enjoyed another perfect week here! (2nd visit). As before, immediately felt so welcomed and became our home from home. Enjoyed the colourful flowers in the woodland walk, lovely fields & exploring local areas! Love just sitting in the garden hearing the lambs and the birds. We will be back again! Thank you.

Amazing stay over the Easter break. Lovely cottage and enclosed garden. Great woodland walk on site and lots of nice walks around the area or further afield. The cake on arrival was fab! Thank you for a great stay.

J Smith

09 Apr 2021

This place is wonderful - family and dog friendly, close to lots of beautiful beaches (we visited Newport, pictured) and set in acres of land with it's own woodland walk and meadow. We all felt so at home at The Stable and were welcomed with a delicious cake and Christmas decorations. The wood burner made the evenings so cosy and the luxury shower room was great especially after a long day out walking. We're already planning to go back next year, thanks for having us!

C Dean

20 Dec 2020

Wow! What an amazing week we have had at Aberdwylan Farm holiday cottages! We stayed in The Stable which was so clean, no signs of previous dog visits, and so cosy and a beautiful interior. The kitchen was so well equipped, the rooms were spacious and comfy and we loved the wood burner of an evening! The private grounds were just amazing and our dogs had the time of their lives playing in the huge field, exploring the woods and splashing in the streams! The welcome folder was so informative and we had wonderful days out with the suggestions enjoying the beautiful local areas. Lauren and Chris were so welcoming and friendly! We didn’t want to leave! Perfect stay! Thank you for being so fab and the yummy cake!

We just got home from the most amazing stay here my husband and I with our bulldog Winnie who was in heaven with the beautiful surroundings of the farm cottages. We didn't want to leave. Everything was perfect and Lauren and Chris made us feel very welcome and couldn't be more helpful. Would highly recommend and we shall be returning 😁👍👌

29 Sep 2020

My husband, baby daughter and I had such a lovely stay at Aberdwylan Farm. We loved doing the on site woodland walk with baby in a sling and visited some local sites including beaches and The Nags Head pub for a meal, all of which we enjoyed. So impressed with the cottages- impeccably clean with no sign at all that it is dog friendly, beautifully decorated and on gorgeous surrounding grounds. Thank you Lauren & Chris!

C Thodesen

Had a fantastic week at Aberdwlan Farm Holiday Cottages. Set within woodland with beautiful walks close by. The barn was lovely and comfortable with everything you could need. A brilliant base for visiting the lovely beaches in the area. Lauren and Chris were brilliant hosts. would highly recommend and will be booking again.

A Lawrie

13 Sep 2020

August 2020 - we spent a wonderful week at Aberdwylan Farm Holiday Cottages. Lauren and Chris were great hosts and on hand for anything we needed. The woodland trail in the grounds is fab with a stream running through - both our girls and the dog loved this! We visited many places during the week within easy distance of the cottage - Ffynone Waterfall, Cenarth Falls, Newcastle Emlyn and Ceibwr Bay to name just a few. Would be lovely to visit again.....

S Burton

09 Sep 2020

WOW.....had a week in the stables (8th August) 4 of us and paddy the working cocker, really nice to be met on arrival...social distancing measures observed.....and even better the best lemon drizzle cake left in the kitchen. The stables is really comfortable and well thought out but the bonus for us was the lovely garden to relax in and the surrounding field and woodland which paddy enjoyed exploring especially the stream that runs through it, not that he needs an excuse to get in the water but it was ideal as the weather that week was hot and humid. If I have my way we will be back next year as there is so much to explore in the area and we only just scratched the surface plus the thought of more lemon drizzle cake does it for me

N Tanner

20 Aug 2020

We enjoyed a week in the Stable from 18th July, a family of four with our two dogs. The cottage was a wonderful base to explore this beautiful part of Wales. It was comfortable, spotlessly clean, very well eqipped. It was perfect for a holiday with a totally enclosed garden which led onto a large field which then led onto an enclosed private woodland. Doggy heaven and also perfect for me to indulge my interest in wild flowers. I was also happy to be there when the new rescue hens arrived and hope to see updates from Lauren as to how they get on. Thanks for a lovely, relaxing stay xx

E Hey

Lovely stay at the stable 😀 loved the grounds 🌳🌲 woodland walks and no one else around straight from the patio doors Lauren and Chris were on hand for any help and advice we needed 😊 nice cake to welcome us too!!

D Argyle

26 Mar 2020

We loved our stay here last week. The cottage had everything we needed & was very cosy! Delicious cake on arrival and we enjoyed fresh eggs from the hens. The woodland walk from the back garden was perfect for the children & and they enjoyed exploring! We were made to feel very welcome, hope to visit again some day soon. So pleased we found you!

Just home after three wonderful nights in The Stable. Doggy heaven with a secure garden and a great field at the end of the garden to romp in, also extends into a woodland area behind that. Cottage is very high spec with a great kitchen (all mod cons) fabulous shower and great wood burner for warmth. Thanks for the lovely arrival cake and thank your girls for the eggs 🥚 we will return x

D Thomas

02 Dec 2019

The Stable is the loveliest cottage, stocked with everything you need for a stay and more. We had a perfect cake on arrival and a cosy log burner in the evenings. The on-site woodland walk is lovely (even in the rain with 2 muddy dogs!) and the local places are perfect (Poppit Beach and The Nags Head). We've already requested availability for our next stay. xx
