Heulwen Farmhouse Reviews

Emma Clarke
We stayed at this cottage recently and honestly, it was a great find. The living room had comfy sofas, perfect for relaxing after a day out. The kitchen was fully equipped, making cooking easy. The kids loved the games room and play areaand the hot tub was definitely the highlight! The enclosed garden was perfect for our three dogs. With five kids and eight adults, there was plenty of space, making it a fantastic base for our holiday. The only minor issue was some beds weren’t super comfy, but overall, we’d definitely return if we visit Aberystwyth again!
Emily
We loved the farmhouse, such a lovely spot near Aberystwyth! There was loads of room for our family of 12and the kitchen was well-stocked with crockery and utensils. The hot tub and games room were a hit, plus the garden is huge. When we had a minor issue, the owner sorted it out swiftly. Will return for sure!
Emma
We loved the cottage! There was plenty to keep everyone entertained, especially the games room and hot tub. The garden and BBQ area were lovely. The location is really convenient, close to everything we needed. Definitely a place we’d return to!
Emma
We had such a lovely stay at The Cottage! It’s really spacious, super cleanand feels so welcoming from the moment you arrive. The garden’s secure, perfect for kids and dogs, which was a huge plus. The hot tub was fantasticand the games room kept everyone entertained. The weather was kind too. We’d definitely love to come back!
James
While the property is in a stunning location, it could really do with some more thorough cleaning and regular inspections. With a bit more attention to maintenance, it has the potential to be truly fantastic rather than just a nice place.
Laura
We were a group of 14 girls and really enjoyed our stay! The location is perfect, just a few minutes from Aberystwyth town. The house was stunning and everyone kept telling me how lovely it was. Definitely recommend!
Emma Clarke
The cottage was gorgeous, especially loved the hot tub and the stunning views of the steam train and red kites flying around. Beds were super comfy and the warm showers were a nice touch. We did mention a few issues to the owners, but it didn’t spoil our stay at all.
Emma Carter
Really enjoyed the cosy, spacious house with all essentials provided.
Emma

Emma T.
Really spacious place, perfect for groupsand that swim spa is definitely a highlight, loved it!
Emma
We had a fantastic stay at this place! It’s perfect for a family getaway, with loads of space for everyone and plenty of spots for the kids to enjoy. The farmhouse had everything we needed, including a fun games room with a pool table. Being so close to Aberystwyth and surrounded by stunning views made it even better. It’s a peaceful spot, highly recommend for a relaxing break!
Lucy
The house was perfect for our big family get-together of 4 generations! There was loads of space for 9 adults and 3 little ones. The garden is just idyllic—we could have easily stayed on the property all week. The swim tub, games roomand outdoor games were all a hit. The accommodation was very comfortable, well equippedand clean. The views across the valley were spectacular, surrounded by beautiful trees and even some cows! The downstairs ensuite bedroom was really handy for older family members. Plus, it’s close to beaches.
Sara
The house is a great size and really central for many activities and areas. The outside space is good and the pool is especially a welcome feature! It could definitely do with a deep clean and some updating though. We had 8 adults and 2 children in our groupand honestly, any more would have felt cramped. But it's fine if you’re not planning to stay in too much. The games room is a useful addition. Plus, it’s well situated for exploring a wide area of beautiful scenery.
Jane
We found this cottage to be absolutely perfect for our 40th anniversary family gathering! There was loads of room and plenty of facilities, especially the amazing hot tub. It’s set in lovely surroundings with fantastic views all aroundand it's not far from the town. We would definitely come again!
Sarah
What a lovely house! It was so clean and had a well stocked kitchen with plenty of pots and pans. We had five couples staying and we really enjoyed ourselves with the hot tub and games room!
Simon
We found the property to be a great size with a secure garden, which was a real plus! The games room was a massive hit and so was the hot tub. There’s plenty of space, so you don’t feel overwhelmed even when there’s a large group. We’d definitely recommend this for families or larger groups. We really loved our time there and are looking into if we can return.
Claire
What an excellent property! We had a great week with lots to do. It’s just 10 minutes from the nearest supermarkets and 20 minutes from the promenade. The butterfly house is only 10 minutes away too. We ended up staying at the property for 3 days because of a heatwave. There was so much room and plenty of activities. The hot tub was definitely a hit with everyone. Our group was 7 adults ranging from their 30s to 70s, plus 3 kids from 2 to 10. The beds were comfyand it was easy to find. We would happily stay there again!
Emily
After three years of waiting, we finally got to enjoy our 40th family holiday (thanks to covid!!). The house has so much potential, but it really needs a good clean and a bit of a freshen up in some spots, especially the kitchen, which was a bit dirty when we arrived. On the plus side, the host was super quick to sort out our issues and was really helpful with everything we needed. Overall, we had a great timeand the kids absolutely loved the hot tub, games roomand garden the most!
william
The facilities and house were as described on the website. There was plenty of parking and the owner had added some festive decoration which were ideal for the kids. Access to Aberystwyth was simple and supermarkets were very accessible. The facilities were suitable for the children's age range from1 year to 15 years old. The WiFi was suitable for working and all teenagers.
Mark
This could be an absolute gem of a place but it looks so tired and is in desperate need of some TLC. As it stands, this property isn’t good value for money by any stretch of the imagination. We’ve stayed in similarly priced houses that have been much better overall. The rooms are perfect for family get-togethers. The location is really goodand there’s plenty to do even in November, plus the spa pool was definitely a big hit with the kids!
