Pensarngerrig Reviews

We had an amazing stay at Pensarngerrig. Everything was exactly as described with lovely personal touches. Lovely welcome pack for us and our dog. We have stayed at several self catering holiday cottages over the years this knocked spots off all of them! Thank you Catrin and Lucy for a fabulous stay!
Wow just wow! An absolutely charming cottage in the most beautiful location. Everything about pensarngerrig is perfect. The space is amazing considering the outside appearance, it felt so cosy yet bright and comfortable. The decor is smart and contemporary, and it feels so fresh as if we were the first gusts to stay here. Our compliments to housekeeping. From the bedrooms to bathroom with its amazing shower, it ticks all the boxes. The kitchen with the open sides was a master stroke of design we struggled to pull ourselves away. It was so wonderful to just sit and watch the clouds and the red kites flying by. One afternoon there were 13 all together above us! It was the most perfect place to celebrate new year and my wife's birthday, and we left feeling refreshed and renewed for 2026. PS. we may have purchased a couple of old wireless radio's online while here! !

We had a wonderful stay at this holiday cottage and couldnt have asked for a better getaway. The cottage was spotless, beautifully maintained, and very well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. It felt cosy and welcoming from the moment we arrived, and was absolutely perfect for a Christmas break with its warm, festive atmosphere. The location was ideal peaceful and relaxing, with lovely surroundings that made it easy to truly unwind, especially over the festive period. The hosts were friendly and helpful, making the whole experience smooth and stressfree. Its clear that a lot of care has gone into creating a fantastic place for guests. We are already looking forward to returning and highly recommend this cottage, particularly for anyone looking for a cosy and relaxing getaway.
Lovely homely cottage, beautifully renovated. Everything you could need was provided, lovely hot shower, comfortable bed and great quiet location but close enough to beaches and towns when needed. Lovely welcome pack of essentials and owner checked in to see if we needed anything. Would definitely stay again, if only to watch the kites flying overhead every day.
Beautifully presented cottage, very modern and nicely decorated. Unfortunately the cleanliness let it down and we left after one night. According to the owner who we contacted on another matter, informed us the place had a deep clean before we arrived. This was not the case. The cleaners can argue their case, but i firmly believe the cleaners have let the owners down because it is a beautiful cottage and l would have loved to stay the whole week.
Michael
The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable. Great view from kitchen over the fields and a quiet location. It is an excellent base if you are walking the Coastal Path and only 30 minutes drive away from Cardigan. 15 minutes away by car is an excellent CK store at Tan Y Groes. Good butcher in Rhydlewis. Two whisky distilleries near, well worth a visit. We found a scale 125000 Ordnance Survey map of the area very useful. A very enjoyable holiday and the views of the countryside, cliffs and sea are stunning if walking the Coastal Path.
We had an amazing holiday in this beautiful cottage. Very comfortable. Furnishings and decor are high spec. Very quiet, peaceful location with great views. Cottage was exceptionally clean. There was a slight glitch when we arrived beyond anyone's control. We contacted the owners and they responded immediately and went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable whilst they resolved the issue. They resolved the issue in a timely manner and maintained communication throughout. We've stayed in many Sykes cottages and this was by far the best for both value and quality. We will definitely be back!
We really enjoyed our stay at Pensarngerrig. Lovely little cottage in a very quiet location with beaches and pubs within easy driving distance. Our dog enjoyed watching the cows and it was great seeing them so close to the property every evening as they settled down to sleep under the tree by the garden fence. The cottage bedrooms are spacious with very comfortable mattresses and nice bed linen. The property itself is tastefully decorated and furnished and very welcoming. We received excellent communication from the owners and the little welcome basket on arrival was much appreciated. Our only minor suggestions hence the comfort rating is in relation to the small sofa in the lounge. A bigger sofa would provide more comfort with the smaller one that is currently in situe better located the other side of lounge area in place of the settlebench. If a washing machine can be squeezed in somewhere then that will be a big bonus. We are regular holidaymakers to Wales and have stayed in lots of holiday accommodation, this is definitely one of the nicest, cleanest places we have ever stayed in. We will holiday at Pensarngerrig again. Thank you.

It was truly amazing the way the cottage had been decorated the layout the kitchen The beautiful location we could watch the swifts and swallows in the long grass in the fields behind Just a short drive to the most gorgeous beaches pubs walks cafes harbours Everything was superb Wet room was gorgeous The only thing that may be considered for improvement would be to make the light fixture above the kitchen table a bit higher We had a few bumped heads not too much of a problem if you have a full head of hair But if youre a baldy
Nadine
We loved our stay at Pensarngerrig. Lovely and quiet, amazing with the red kites flying around and the cows over in the field. Our two dogs settled straight away. A brilliant base to explore mid Wales Cardigan Bay, New Quay. The interior is finished to a high standard, the bed was very comfortable too. Would definitely recommend staying at Pensarngerrig and hope to visit again soon.
Beautiful property. Had everything we needed for a lovely holiday. Great communication from the owners ,really made us feel welcome. Great views and very tranquil in a gorgeous country setting.
Everything that you needed was there and the cottage was spotlessly clean there was a lovely welcome pack on our arrival and we thoroughly enjoyed our week. Tony Maureen and Jasper
We had a very enjoyable stay at the cottage for a week. We were blessed with good weather which allowed us to explore the surrounding areas, and also enjoy the garden. Pensarngerrig is a great base for exploring. The cottage has a high quality feel to all elements. We have already recommended to others.
Sebastian
Spotlessly clean. Beautiful property inside and out. The location was fantastic with easy access to the coast. The directions were especially helpful and the personal messages from the owner were helpful upon arrival. I would highly recommend. The only thing and it is of minor note would be a new non stick frying pan with plastic utensil to go with it. Thank you for providing a wonderful place to stay in lovely Wales.

We had a wonderful stay Everything was to our liking and the guide you provide was spot on We got to see most things that where on there The welcome pack was very much appreciated and our dog loved the out door area All in all there is nothing bad to say about your property we loved it
Excellent property with great facilities. Really clean and comfy.
Had a great time at pensarngerrig cottage very comfortable and a great location to see the local area. The welcome package that was left for us was a lovely thought. Thanks again for a lovely stay in your cottage.
Enjoyable and relaxing break. Property is well maintained with lovely views over the fields where I spotted Red Kites and Grey Herons.
The cottage is beautiful and in a great location. The directions supplied, are accurate and its easy to get to. It is very clean with an excellent shower and bathroom facilities. The bedroom is very luxurious are the beds are very comfortable. The outside seating area is wonderful with excellent views of the countryside. I had a fantastic time and it was a great base to see the Ecliastical architecture of Wales. The coast is only 20 mins away.
Dennis
Wow! stunning cottage in an idyllic setting was the perfect base with doggies Tilly and Ronnie. Our excellent and attentive hosts have created something really special here with an ultra modern accommodation still true to its setting and history. We enjoyed days out at the coast or in the country, rounded off perfectly by returning to this haven, recharging our batteries for our return to the real world !
Stuart
The cottage is beautiful, having recently been renovated with great care. The location is wonderful peaceful countryside views from the backgarden made the most of by the glasswalled eating area, and in close proximity to beautiful beaches, coastline and towns. There is so much to do nearby. It's perfectly set up for canine visitors too!
Rachael
A wonderful property within easy driving of plenty of stunning beaches and town. Immaculately clean with everything you need as a home away from home. The owners messaged when we got there to check everything was ok and left a lovely welcome pack. Beds were super comfy and the shower was fantastic. Lovely views and it was great to see the cows in the adjacent fields and kites flying overhead. We would definitely like to return.
Kathryn
What a beautiful cottage! Lovingly restored, in a peaceful setting with every facility we needed. Didnt miss the dishwasher as we had the cows to watch from the next field whilst in the kitchen. Eating in the bright kitchendiner was a pleasure. Watching kites soar above and enjoying the patio & firepit on warm evenings. It was very clean and comfortable and well located for exploring beaches and walks. The owners were welcoming and there is a very helpful visitor pack with useful information. Would highly recommend and definitely stay again if we are visiting the area.
We stayed at Pensarngerrig with our two children during the first week of the summer holiday. We throughly enjoyed our stay. It is more than your average luxury holiday cottage. The owners have lovingly restored the it while maintaining its historical character. It is beautifully decorated throughout with a mixture of modern and Welsh traditional style. The modern kitchen is well equipped with everything you need and more! The generous basket full of Welsh goodies and the milk and butter in the fridge was very much appreciated and enjoyed! Thank you very much! The information pack produced by the owners was very useful and provided us with lots of inspiration on what to do within the area. I have recommended this cottage to my friends and family as we loved it so much!
The cottage was very nice and complete. It was clean, a very nice and light open kitchendiningroom, with a very complete kitchen fittings. There is a cosey sitting room with a tv, games and a nice jigsaw puzzle. Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms with very comfortable beds. Our two teenage sons were happy with the good wifi and they liked the fire pit outside very much. Our dog was very happy in the garden, she liked te welcome attention specially for her. We liked our welcome groceries and we enjoyed the luxurious bathroom. There is a very complete welcome book with tips for trips. There was a little problem with the electricity wich was very fast fixed. We had a very nice holiday.
Catrin and Lucy thank you for a lovely break in your beautiful cottage ,so peaceful and close to beaches and The New INN pub just up the road ,what you have done to the cottage is amazing you should be really proud, the decor and all the furniture and furnishings is so tastefully done ,and you have thought of everything you would need in the cottage, my dogs loved it and the welcome hamper was a nice surprise,dogs loved the bone biscuit, I highly recommend this lovely cottage,we will be back soon thanks Margaret and Clive .
Harald
The cottage is a little gem, well equipped and nicely decorated. The view on the surrounding fields is beautiful with curious cows, hunting red kites and an occasional fox. We had warm contact with the owners.
Catherine
Hands down the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed at! Everything from the minute we walked in was absolutely perfect down to the ball and biscuits for the dogs. Location is absolutely perfect with everything you need a short drive away and a fantastic local butchers a short walk away in the village. We will undoubtedly be back! Thank you
Owner has a lovely property unfortunately it was not ready for our stay it hadn't been cleaned for some time it was one of the dirtiest places we have stayed at I provided owner with photographic evidence to which she did say sorry that it hadn't been cleaned properly I tried to forgive the cleanliness issues as much as I could but just kept finding more and more We had booked Friday Friday as a family we decided to come home on the Tuesday We made Sykes aware and owner aware. We are private people and once were on holiday we didn't want anybody coming in to clean as it should have been cleaned ready for our stay so the family that stayed after us got to have a very clean house as the cleaner would have gone in and given it a much needed thorough clean. Owner wanted the issue to be resolved and offered us 168 for the days that we didn't stay and Sykes said sorry after they saw the photographic evidence and offered 50. I didn't accept either of their offers as our holiday was ruined as we stayed in a dirty house with a broken metal fence which when booked was told it was secure for dogs I am also assuming this was fixed after our stay it should have been fixed before we stayed. I believe that we should have been given a full refund and sorry doesn't cut it. We wasted our fuel there and back and its an outrage that the basics weren't done its pretty much unforgiveable and I'm sure the owner wouldn't want it to happen to them if they booked somewhere so reading families feedback after our stay saying how clean it was is actually down to us raising the cleanliness issues and sending over all the photos of how dirty the house was such a shame they just couldn't get the basics right and have a clean house ready for our stay so just because the feedback may now say the property is clean we made that mistake and trusted the owner and Sykes this property was not fit to be rented out to us for our stay shame on you for ruining a family's holiday
Pensarngerrig is a really lovely place to stay. It has been refurbished to an extremely high standard and is very well maintained and spotlessly clean. There is a very nice welcome pack on arrival as well. The outside space is very pleasant too. The owner made contact on arrival to welcome us and make sure all was well and to offer help if needed. It really is a very comfortable place to stay and I would certainly book this property again and recommend to others. We had a wonderful week. Thank you.
Judith
We had a lovely stay at the cottage there was everything we needed and extras that came as a nice surprise. There are plenty of beaches to visit and shops and pubs a short drive. Unfortunately, we didnt get the weather to sit outside in the beautiful surroundings, however the extension was light and bright and nice and cosy.
We loved Pensarngerrig, a thoughtfully and beautifully restored cottage. The huge windows in the kitchen dining are provide a wonderful peaceful scene and the outdoor area is a delight. All that we would have wanted was provided, even to bread and butter, milk and Welsh cakes. We thoroughly recommend this accommodation.
Cottage is beautiful a mixture of old and new. The outside space is a joy watching the red kite aerial displays, inside warm and comfortable.It is an ideal base for exploring the cardigan area
A lovely property, having been lovingly restored to a high standard. The owners had really thought of everything. We were a family of 4 and both bedrooms were comfy and homely. The area is fabulous, with coastal walks nearby. The welcome pack and local information were a really lovely touch. 10 out of 10
Beautiful property in a beautiful location, perfect for exploring fabulous Cardiganshire. Owner very helpful and a small welcome pack greeted us when we arrived, including a treat for the dog! Wonderful to just sit outside and listen to the birdsong. Highly recommend this property.
Jasmin
Lovely cottage in a nice quiet location. A few nice beaches a short drive away and some good local walks. Comfortable stay all round.
Hannah
The cottage is stunning. Has all the conforts needed and the views from the kitchen are wonderful. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. When we arrived there were some treats for us and treats for the dogs which was a nice thought. Fresh bread and Marmalade was left for us too. The bedrooms are a great size and very comfortable. The location of the cottage was great, everything we wanted to do was within a half hour drive so great location. Would stay again and would highly recommend a stay here. Thank you so much.
Anthony
What a find! An absolutely beautiful cottage in a wonderful setting.. the cottage is finished to a very high standard everything is very well thought out.. has everything you will need for a good weeks stay kitchen is perfect for cooking and dining together, the beds are very comfortable with lovely cosy linen, and the shower is fabulous! Breadcakesmilk and butter were a much appreciated touch and our little dog loved her doggy treats. Locals are all very friendly and being able to purchase their fresh eggs was perfect. So many lovely beaches within 15 minute drive with stunning coastal paths. Would highly recommend and will definitely book again in the future..
Andrew
Excellent and well appointed small cottage. Very peacefull and with excellent views. Hade some good local walks and also went to quite a few local places of interest. Very convenient for Cardigan and local beaches and towns. Had an great stay and would have no hesitation in going back for a repeat visit. Take some cash to buy the local eggs!! The property was a very high standard!!
Sandra
We has a lovely stay, the cottage is beautifully finished to a high standard. The location is really good being between Aberystwyth and Cardigan. We managed several circular walks incorporating the coastal path and inland through some particularly muddy fields!! All the local people were very friendly and helpful. Because we visited out of season we were able to park free of charge in a lot of places. The only thing that would stop us booking Pensarngerrig again is the lack of a washing machine. A couple of other bits of feedback. It would be nice to have a couple more tea towels and maybe a good idea to have some dog bowls in case people forget theirs, I did remember but we have seen this in other holiday lets. Maybe a bin in the bedroom too. These are minor things and certainly didnt affect our holiday.
