Had a peaceful, welcoming stay. Stunning cottage, set in a beautiful location with some gems hidden in most corners of the area. Hot tub was a lovely experience added with the countryside surrounding you as you relaxed. Bob and Marie have been great hosts, with lots of knowledge of the area & places to visit. Would definitely recommend to friends and family! Cottage absolutely spotless; covid taken very serious. See you soon x

Heartfelt thank you for all the thought, detail and finishing touches you put into our cottage to make our stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible. It really is such a beautiful place with so much on offer - we've not stopped all week, come rain or shine we filled our days. Wales and its stunning coastline has truly charmed us. A special thank you for introducing our girls to the chickens too - a real treat. We've made the most precious memories after a year of restrictions it meant so much.
Simply put "It was wonderful" Seren aged 3.

A beautiful cottage, really enjoyed our weeks stay. Thank you Marie & Bob for providing welcome pack. Boys and dog enjoyed the lovely beaches and walking in the green and peaceful countryside. Great sitting out in the enclosed patio garden. We all appreciated having a much needed break in such great surroundings. Thank you 🙂

Thanks for the wonderful stay in Rainbow Cottage. We have thoroughly enjoyed using the hot tub and beautiful garden. The local beaches are very nice and early morning dips have been fun. The cottage is well equipped and scrupiously clean. Covid safety has been taken very seriously, which we have appreciated. Bob and Marie are very friendly and helpful hosts. All in all highly recommended.

Had a lovely 2 weeks exploring a part of Wales we know well and revisiting old favourites. The cottage was very comfortable and equipped and uber clean - probably the cleanest we have ever stayed in. Bob and Marie were great hosts and very helpful. If they were not around we would email Marie and she would respond almost straight away. Tilly the dog enjoyed the country walks and we all enjoyed the tranquil and peaceful garden. We would definitely stay here again in the future. It really is a great place and great location.

Ty Ceiniog 24th July - 7th August.

Beautifully clean cottage, very comfortable with everything well thought out. Ruby really appreciated the comfy bed, bowl, treats and blankets. We loved having the garden to relax in each morning and eve. Enjoying the coffee and treats in the welcome pack - very thoughtful and appreciated. Lovely surroundings and in a great location for beautiful beaches and New Quay. We really enjoyed wandering around, a drink or two in the Penwig overlooking the sea, some crabbing & a boat trip. Thank you so much for your hospitality & thoughtful touches. We hope to come back soon.

This was our second stay at Ty Ceiniog and another wonderful, totally relaxing holiday. Even more precious during this challenging year! The cottage is still absolutely perfect - down to the tiniest details. Our canine babies were well and truly spoiled too. Plush beds, treats, bowls .. what an experience for their first holiday. Bob and Marie are absolutely amazing and the most wonderful people - we hope to see you again!

P.S. Cottage was superbly clean and totally Covid secure. We felt very safe. So sad to be leaving.

We recently stayed in Rainbow Cottage. It has everything you need & was spotlessly clean. We loved having the use of the fabulous hot tub in our own garden area which was a real bonus. The area is beautiful and the dolphins gave a great show which we watched from New Quay Harbour.
Marie & Bob are fantastic hosts & nothing was too much trouble.
I have already recommended the cottages to family and friends & we will definitely book again!

Many thanks for your lovely review and for recommending us to others Teresa. I am so glad you enjoyed your time here and that the hot tub was a hit. It was great to see you all, and we really look forward to seeing you here again.

This was my first visit both to Rainbow Cottage and this part of Wales and was well looked after by Marie and Bob.

The cottage was spotless and extreme care taken regarding the Covid19 protection.

The hot tub was excellent and information given regarding places of interest nearby that was open.

Came for a relaxing break and a bit of exploring and that is exactly what I got.

Our second visit to Rainbow Cottage didn’t disappoint! Such a wonderful cottage in a beautiful location. Everything you need is here and Marie is such a lovely host. We enjoyed the hot tub and the DVDs, games & puzzles kept us occupied during a rainy day. Being able to borrow beach spades, buckets, lines & nets was brilliant – we really benefited from the hosts knowledge of the area. Oh, and we loved the coffee, welshcakes & freshly laid eggs. Thank you!

Warm welcome with a lovely welcome pack. The eggs were truly delicious! Beautiful cottage with everything you need. Wonderfully peaceful area which is just what we were hoping for. Visits to New Quay and the boat trip where we got up close to the dolphins highly recommended. Will definitely be recommending to family and friends.

Lovely and peaceful. The cottage was super clean. Everything you could possibly need was there. Easy access to local amenities. Dog loved it. A very secure garden. An amazing welcome pack which everyone enjoyed. With enough videos, books and games to keep all members of the family busy. Will definitely be back.

We’ve had a lovely relaxing holiday in this cosy well-equipped cottage. The children loved the selection of books, games & DVDs. Great for the rainy mornings. We enjoyed exploring the local beaches – our favourite was Tresaith. Great days out at the Wildlife Trust Cilgerran & Aberaeron (brilliant park) and then the highlight was coming back for a dip in the hot tub. Thanks for everything and for letting Alice feed the chickens.

Admin Reply by: Marie Spackman

Many thanks for your review. I am so glad Alice loved visiting the chickens and am really pleased that you all had a great holiday.

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!

This was our third stay here and we had another great week! The cottage was very comfortable and the outside eating area was lovely in the sun. We especially enjoyed popping down to New Quay at the end of each day as it is only a few minutes away. We look forward to staying here again.
