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.

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.

The cottage is very well equipped, tastefully furnished and extremely clean. The beds were so very comfortable. All the rooms are spacious with lots of storage. The back garden was secure so our dog could enjoy the fresh air and we could sit and relax without worrying he'd wander off. Fabulous welcome pack, and Marie & Bob are brilliant hosts. Very welcoming, great communication prior and during our stay. Nothing was too much trouble. The location is excellent, New Quay has some fab beaches (and dolphins if you're lucky) its a nice, family friendly place, and amazing ice creams! If you're a keen walker there are many places to go. From the doorstep there are lots of bridal paths and a nice little woodland walk where dogs can explore off lead, within a short drive, lots of dog friendly beaches and costal paths. Highly recommended.
