We recently returned from another lovely few days in this beautiful cottage. Once again the welcome hamper was the best we've ever received, packed with lots of lovely goodies, and especial thanks for the lovely fresh flowers in every room and the jar of newly picked strawberries Alan and Maureen brought us the first evening. The cottage is very comfortable with everything we needed. There are lots of things to do in the local area, walking, sightseeing, good places to eat out. In the evenings the three of us enjoyed completing one of the big jigsaw puzzles together. All in all a wonderful holiday in a fantastic location. We hope to return again next year **

We enjoyed a very relaxing week in this tranquil location. The cottage is spacious and comfortable with the rooms all well presented. The cottage is situated on the side of a tree lined valley, very peaceful, the only sounds being the river tumbling of the rocks, bird song and the chuff-chuff of small steam train running along the opposite side of the valley. There are hill and flatter walks from the cottage and through the woods or down to the river. The cottage is an excellent place just to chill or as a base to explore the wider area. You are never quite sure reading the descriptions of cottages if they really are as remote, quiet and peaceful as the description but sometimes, as is this case, they exceed your expectations.

My wife and I had a wonderful time at Troedrhiwfawr. We visited in the spring of 2023. The hosts, Alan and Maureen, are friendly and helpful with recommendations. There are many local trails and walks that lead down the river or up the hill to many sheep pastures and a commanding lookout point. Aberystwyth is a short drive away. Long car rides never felt long because of how natural the landscape is. The town has a nice coastal walk, along with a wide vantage point from Constitution Hill. It is a cozy holiday cottage for a quiet, low-key break.

Beautiful part of Wales, tranquil surroundings, river swimming walking distance. Lovely cottage. We all slept well. The cottage tastefully furnished and loved flowers in every room. The owners also prepared a basket full of goodies like fresh bread, butter, coffee, biscuits,selection of cheese and even dog biscuits! We enjoyed reading books on the terrace with sun going down and glass of lovely wine, also provided! Not far from the coast or steam train ride to Devils Bridge. We could not have imagined a better break!

Troedrhiwfawr was located in the stunning Cwm Rheidol valley where the only sound was the river and birdsong plus occasionally the steam train on the opposite side of the valley. Maureen and Alan were gracious hosts and the welcome hamper was the most generous I have ever received. The cottage has been decorated to a very high standard with some lovely personal touches. It was very well equipped especially the kitchen. If you are looking for a getaway from the hustle and bustle of life, then look no further.

A true escape! We stayed in this delightful cottage over Christmas and the New Year and despite the usual Welsh winter weather, the cottage was wonderfully warm and cosy and comfortable. Everything we needed for a truly self-catering holiday was available, and the kitchen was like home from home. The beds were great (we tend to struggle with hard beds or poorly supportive soft ones!) as were the couches, making the whole stay relaxing. As for the environment- well, you need to know it’s truly “away from it all”. We loved the quiet! At night the distant sound of the river with its beautiful rapids and waterfalls (which is quite restful - like a quiet white noise) was literally the only thing we could hear and the silence was a huge treat! The owners were fantastic. Generous in their welcome basket and welcoming/helpful but not intrusive in any way. All in all we’d love to return. We stayed with our dog and enjoyed superb walks from the cottage each day without driving out too much. We also bought an EE SIM card for the duration of our stay, and got two bars of 4G if we out the phone in one particular spot in the cottage… so it is possible to get some phone signal, and with EE we had some signal in many places in that valley, but not with O2.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Troedrhiwfawr. The hosts are fantastic people who are extremely generous and welcoming. The cottage itself is lovely, very well equipped and though recently refurbished the cottage still retains its character and charm. The location is serene and picturesque. We enjoyed sitting in the garden looking at the mountains and listening to the stream flowing (which can put you to sleep at night!) only for it to be temporally interrupted by the distant whistle of the steam train which one can get a decent view of when it passes across the valley. The kids went wild swimming (sorry wild paddling as the water was a bit cold for them) every day which is only a few minutes away. A couple walks at your doorstop with one that gets you to Devils Bridge which I thoroughly enjoyed but maybe too much for some as it is steep in some places. Hope to go back in the future!
