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!

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.

Morris Family wrote on 31/07/2019 at 6:22 pm

A lovely Cottage and very kind hosts who loaned us some bucket and nets for some fun in Aberaeron & Mwnt. We greatly enjoyed New Quay (Lime Crab on the harbour is a must) and trips to Aberaeron, Aberystwyth, Cardigan to Cilgerran, Llanerchaeron & Mwnt beach. We would recommend all these for families with young children. Coming back each evening to the hot tub was a lovely way to end each day & the cottage is in a wonderful part of Wales. Thank you for your hospitality.

Marie and Bob are fantastic hosts and Ty Ceiniog is a credit to them. The cottage is renovated to a very high standard and spotlessly clean, everything is immaculate. From the welcome pack to all the doggy extra’s, you couldn’t wish for a better holiday. They have literally thought of everything. The Xbox was set up for the children prior to arrival and there is a library of books, games, DVD’s and CD’s to keep everyone occupied in the evenings and rainy days.

The beds are so comfortable with high quality bedding and extra’s should you need them. We all slept like logs.

The private garden is secure for the dogs and has a table and chairs and BBQ. It was lovely sitting out in the evenings and just listening to nature. The location is perfect too, quiet and rural but just 3 miles from New Quay.

I would not hesitate to recommend Ty Ceiniog 100% and we will definitely be back. Thank you Marie and Bob for our fantastic stay.

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.
