Ystwyth Cottage Reviews

Ystwyth had everything you could need, and more. Ideal if you are looking for a hideaway from busy places.

Tim and Helen were friendly and polite. The Cottage was very clean with everthing you need. Parking was great. The location was fine 10 minutes drive to Newtown centre with great shops, pubs and restaurants, plus being central to places to visit other areas. Will use again John and Julie Chorley August 2026

Ystwyth cottage was lovely, it had everything we needed, was exceptionally clean and very comfortable. Our dog loved the garden one thing to note it is not enclosed. Despite being next door to the b&b it is very private and peaceful. Would highly recommend.

We are proud to be the first holiday let guests at Ystwyth Cottage! We had a lovely welcome pack from the hosts and the cottage had everything we required to make our weeks stay cozy and comfortable. The location is perfect to hop on and off the A483 to explore the beautiful areas of north, south or mid wales. The space is cozy and works well. The wood pellet stove works in the same way as the timed central heating and is very efficient for when the temperature drops. The bedroom is a delight with a view over the garden and the sunroom was a tranquil place to read, have breakfast or a glass of wine in the evening. Thank you for a lovely stay!
