  We were a family of 4 adults and 2 children ( 4 year old and a 10 month old) having a two week break at the end of October - beginning of November.

  The property was perfect for us and we loved it. The converted old stone mill was spacious: with three bedrooms and upstairs toilet; a large family farmhouse style well equipped kitchen; a cute inglenook for escaping to for a quiet moment; best of all was the well furnished, very spacious hall-like sitting room. Here, the room was divided into TV/fireplace area, the other end provided board-games, shelved books/DVD selection, playpen and giant doll-house and gorgeous rocking horse with more seating. The hosts really made a great effort in providing amusements for children as well as adults. This was particularly important for the time of the year of our visit with the very changeable weather conditions. Unfortunatly the outside areas - French doors to the table and chairs in the garden was not used due to weather - but I'm sure lovely in summer and springtime. The downstairs toilet/bathroom/shower/laundry area was well appointed and the laundry dryer and washing machine well used. Heating and water etc. worked well and there was plenty of firewood provided for fire-making in the evenings. Terry and Diane ( the hosts) were in residence next door and helpful and friendly for all queries and informative on the history of the buildings. If the opportunity arises for us in the future we would certainly hire Felin Iago again and would also recommend this Sykes Cottage.

  The listing of property having a hot tub and then not was frustrating - but a discount was agreed.

  Hence low score on accuracy - which hopefully will be sorted by now. The location is really lovely and the shop and pub were useful to have a 5 minute walk away. Do book the pub though for food, it was hard to get in. The property was clean and as described. The stairs are a little hard to handle so just check the pictures before you book. The headroom in the bedroom gets a bit much after a week. The bed was very comfortable and bedding and towels were good quality. The kitchen could do with some more glasses. Drinking out of plastic is not for me (especially as no hot tub to worry about!). Only two wine glasses, no flutes or gin glasses. The lounge was comfortable enough but some lovely easy chairs would have been nice not just one sofa. The bathroom really needs some Shelves in the shower and somewhere to put stuff . It has no natural ventilation so unfortunately it smells damp a lot of the time. It was my least fave part of staying at the Mill.

  A very good cottage that fully met our expectations and requirements.

  The cottage has all you need for your stay. Parking for the car is good. The view from the cottage, especially at sunset is excellent. The location will suit anyone wishing to visit the many attractions. Shopping in Pennygroes can be achieved by walking up the public footpath alongside the cottage. The village has a large Co-op; Spa shop; Pharmacy; community cafe; fish and chip shop; two take away food outlets; a general store and collector's shop. Staff speak both Welsh and English and welcome visitors. There is a community garden, garage for car repairs but not fuel and a police station. There are many walks to suit all people within a few minutes. Gareth, Denise and their dog Molly are all very helpful to visitors. We have family in the village and have visited for the last 16 years and have stayed in many other places. We wish we had found it before. We are looking forward to our return visit on 19th August 2023 for our second visi

  The Mill cottage is situated in a gorgeous location.

  It is so tranquil and peaceful that you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the countryside, however the small local shop and great pub are just a short walk away. There are many lovely local walks yet all the beaches and coastal walks we wanted to go to were less than a 30 min drive away. The beaches were beautiful, many dog friendly and quiet. The cottage itself is beautifully appointed inside with everything we needed to have a relaxing holiday. The fuuly enclosed private courtyard at the back of the house was a delightful suntrap from morning to evening. Sitting in a bubbling hottub with the sun setting waiting for the bbq to warm up was divine! It was also perfect for our dog to wander out and sunbathe in without us worrying about her getting out. An important note about my review is that we had gorgeous weather every day and went outside of school holidays! The cottage description of the stairs is accurate.

  The Mill, hosted by Louise, is a lovely place to go for a quiet, well situated, holiday.

  The conversion of the building is to a very high standard, with everything there necessary for a very comfortable and easy stay. Louise provided little welcome touches, such as milk in the fridge,eggs from her own hens, a bottle of wine, tea, coffee and sugar, and a welcome pack for the dogs. The king sized bed was unexpected, but luxurious and a real treat. Louise provides full sized, very soft and fluffy bath sheets, so there is no need to take your own towels. The garden is small, but we'll kept, and fully enclosed and secure, and totally adequate for 2 dogs, which we had. Louise has provided lots of local information, which is really helpful, and the rules for staying are also really clear and easy. I would definately recommend The Mill, and Louise, as a place to stay in Cardigan Bay, as Louise is an excellent host, and The Mill provides a great central base for going out and exploring the area.
