Just returned from another lovely week at Ty Ceiniog. We've stayed here a number of times now and the cottage has always been spotlessly clean with everything you'd need for a relaxing and comfortable holiday whatever the time of year. Dogs are well looked after too, with a large comfy bed, a secure rear garden, and treats. Ty Ceiniog is set in a quiet and peaceful location with New Quay just under 10 minutes drive away. Favourite places to vist are New Quay, Aberystwyth (Dragonfly Bisto), Aberaeron and Aberporth. Marie and Bob are perfect hosts, very approachable and friendly.

Thank you for your kind comments Paul. It was lovely to welcome you back and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay here again. Thank you too for the suggestions - have not tried that Bistro, but will find it next time we are in Aberystwyth.

A beautiful place to stay, well equipped, clean and very comfortable. Really enjoyed exploring the local beaches and relaxing in the garden. Denver and Peter loved the dog beds too! Thank you for the friendly welcome and useful information.

Our second visit. We love it here. Bob and Marie are so welcoming and the cottage is laid out so simply, yet all your needs are met and Brioche feels straight at home; especially with all the extra dog items. I am sure we will be back.

Very friendly. Comfortable clean cottage. We spent 2 wonderful weeks here. While living here we organised several trips to get to know Wales as much as possible. Many thanks

Just to say a huge thank you for this amazing place you have, all the things provided, the cleanliness, the quiet and the comfy beds. Rooms are a great size.
You have exceeded my expectations and the pictures on your app don't do it justice. It's much better when you get here!

I felt like home from day one, really relaxed and chilled.

Love all the things you have provided in the kitchen. We had a lovely omelette in that great pan and it didn't stick!

Will love to come back one day as you made us feel so welcomed. We're two old friends going on holiday ever year and this place was 1 of the best we had. Much appreciated

A lovely cottage - clean, tidy, well equipped, comfortable beds & hot shower too. We have had a fab stay here with friends.

This is our 6th visit to this fabulous location and the very best 5* cottage we have stayed in. Bringing our friends this time. As always Marie & Bob made our stay perfect with all the little touches and the very cleanest of cottages. Perfection, sunshine & comfy. Thanks

Our third stay at this beautiful spacious cottage. Peace and tranquility at its best - birdsong all day long. We have enjoyed our holiday yet again, relaxing at New Quay and Aberaeron with the dogs, who also enjoyed the garden and the pet beds. We'll be back hopefully next year. Thank you

Great cottage with everything you need. Garden good for the dog. Shame the weather has been so mixed.
Mwnt - good for surfing/body boarding
Fish & Chips - New Quay
Owners very welcoming and offered information for surrounding area. Thanks for a lovely cottage.
Definitely will be back!

Thank you so much for our wonderful stay at Ty Ceiniog. We come to Wales every year and it was great to find such a lovely place to stay. The cottage is thoughtfully planned out, underfloor heating is such a treat. The children loved their room, the dogs were thoroughly spoiled with their comfy beds and blankets. Thank you also for the dog towels. Another big thumbs up from us. 5 stars.

We have had a fantastic holiday! We wish we could stay longer! Our first time staying at Ty Ceiniog after 3 or maybe 4?! stays at Rainbow Cottage. Now we do not know which we prefer as they are both so lovely! Girls have loved it - we even watched dolphins at Mwnt which was amazing. See you again soon. You know we will always be back!

Our 2nd stay. Fabulous as ever. Clean, welcoming & warm. The small touches make a big difference. The dog items as well as the beds were brilliant. Keeping us informed is a lovely touch. Will recommend and will be back. Many thanks.

Really lovely few days spent in the cottage. Can't ask for more. Really appreciated information guide we received from Marie prior to stay. Lovely area and nice and quiet at this time of year. Will highly recommend!

This was our first try at self catering with the dogs and we all greatly enjoyed ourselves. We were impressed with the cleanliness of the cottage yet it was well designed for the dogs too. It was a most pleasant experience and I'm sure one we'll repeat.

Another wonderful, relaxing stay at Ty Ceiniog! Even though the weather wasn't on our side, we still visited our favourite places - New Quay, Aberaeron, Cardigan and beautiful Aberporth. This gem of a cottage is perfectly situated and is a home from home

Lovely cottage and beautiful surroundings - enjoyed all the walks and lovely beaches. Seen plenty of dolphins. Thanks for such a great holiday.

Very well kept cottage. Enjoyed the smaller beaches. We saw lots of dolphins & a seal and choughs on the cliffs. In spite of the weather we really enjoyed this.

We have enjoyed our stay at Rainbow Cottage. The cottage is clean, comfortable and cosy. Very well equipped and perfect for a break. We really enjoyed the hot tub - very relaxing to come back to after a day out. Thank you. We have had a great time here.

What a beautiful cottage. Ty Ceiniog is in a tranquil location, yet minutes away from lovely beaches, such as Llangrannog Tresaith, Aberporth and friendly towns like New Quay and Aberaeron. Thank you for going above and beyond with the supplies for the cottage - particularly dog beds, blankets and treats. Brioche has thoroughly enjoyed herself. We are most definitely looking in to booking for next year.
