  Dewi Villa had all the facilities required for our stay.

  Aberarth is a quaint village very close to the pebble beach and superb location to walk dogs but has nothing to offer like a shop or public house. There is a fantastic coastal walk to Aberaeron which is approximately a 3 mile round trip which as a harbour town does have some fantastic shops, restaurants and places of refreshment. As for the house, we did struggle to sit as a party of 8 in one room due to the limited amount of seating in each room. In addition, the bedrooms were lovely but struggled to open the windows as they were Georgian sash and fairly well worn. We did report a loose floorboard as it was a trip hazard but more so for it to be repaired before the following rental family came to Dewi Villa. The house was quite dusty on arrival and a used pint glass was left outside in the spacious garden. The garden is the selling point of the house, it’s layout and size allow for dogs to have great fun and run around but also the seating allowed for outdoor sitting and relaxing until the sun went down. Entry to the house is via a side entrance or through the Dewi apartment depending on number of people staying. The drive is steep and narrow so if you are not a confident driver then I would suggest parking elsewhere which can be difficult due to limited parking near the house itself. One of our party did catch the side of their car which caused some localised damage to the paintwork. Overall, the enjoyed our stay and the house had everything we needed plus a little more but this was due to having access to the whole house.

  Pros - Dewi Villa is a lovely property, comfortable and warm with everything you could possibly need.

  We had a wonderful stay. Cons - it was not the cleanest house with dust and dog hair under and behind furniture, with two asthmatics in the party this was an issue we did remove as much as possible as there were plenty of cleaning materials available The freezer door does not seal and the freezer was so iced up the door would not shut we had to defrost it before we could use it. The radiator in the apartment bedroom does not work the room was very cold. It did not mention on the listing that the house is on the main coast road which gets very busy and noisy in the mornings. I was woken early every day by the noise. The garden is not secure and there are various escape points for an intrepid dog. This caused some anxiety due to the proximity to the main road and livestock. We had to keep the younger dog on the lead at all times. The turn on to the drive is very tight, and a large 4x4 was parked opposite the entrance on the road, throughout the stay which made it very difficult to turn on to the drive. We badly scraped the car on the first day but worked out a system to get in and out after that. It does mention this in the listing and there is parking in the village but some distance away down by the beach. These are minor niggles and did not really effect our enjoyment of the house.

  Lovely roomy cottage with good facilities.

  We had a really enjoyable stay and there was plenty of room for all of us. Each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom, which was really handy and great, and the basement flat was fantastic for the kids. A few things i wish i had known - 1) the bath towels provided were really small, and so you might be better to bring your own towels, 2) The house is right on the main busy road, 3) The house is in Abarath but there is nothing there! the nearest pub is about 2 miles down the road and not really walkable. 4) the driveway is ridiculously steep and round a sharp bend which means it is not really useable. Overall we had a really enjoyable holiday and the house was very well equipped. Each bathroom had hand soap provided and there was washing up liquid, tea towels and lots of crockery and cooking equipment provided in the kitchen. Thank you for a lovely stay.

  Dewi villa is just 3mins from aberaeron,we all enjoyed .

  Parking ok off the road. We were told to use the key code front or back but front door was not in use there was a sign on it not to use. Floorboards need sorting very creaky in our bedroom . Everything else we cannot fault it is near the beach and lovely decking to the top of garden and you can see the sea. Freezer in the big kitchen needs thawing it is all frosted up with ice . No dishwasher in smaller kitchen and freezer not on . Heating had been set so went cold in the evening and came on in the night in bed. It was too warm . Instructions need to be there to set the heating then we could turn off when we leave. Positives are amazing place to stay and will certainly go again . Thankyou

  Dewi villa is a large, striking property in a small village on the coast road.

  The kitchen is extremely well-equipped and the rooms spacious and comfortably furnished.. The beds are very comfortable and the end of the garden has a sea view. However, the photos give the impression that the house is not close to other buildings, which it is. Parking is a big problem unless you have a small car. However, the biggest problem we had was the noise at night. The house is next to the coast road and heavy vehicles rumble past, night and day. The windows are double-glazed, but maybe something more could be done to insulate the front bedroom windows from the noise? It is a short walk to the sea and a short drive to Aberaeron, where you can find some wonderful independent shops.
