With 5 families, inc 13 adults, 7 children and 2 dogs we needed a venue for a family birthday and these cottages fitted the bill. The set up was great with each family having a cottage to retire to and the big barn for food and fun. The children had so much fun, chasing chickens and feeding lambs. We were happy for them to explore the land and loved them being able to get a taste of the country. The local area was stunning with mountains, red kites, waterfalls, steam trains and the beach 30 mins away, there's something for everyone. Carla was wonderful, always friendly and on hand for help. We can recommend these cottages for celebrations and family gatherings.
I booked out all 5 cottages for a yoga and martial arts retreat in Nov 2016. There were 11 of us who drove up from London. The location was fine, the shops were a 5 min drive away in case you run out of milk or bread. The air was crisp and fresh. The family was so endearing and helpful! The fire at night was so cosy in the stables. The barn definitely had loads of space for our activities. The only thing about the barn was that it was a bit cold when our bodies were cooling down, so make sure the heaters are turned on + you bring an extra layer of clothes for Savasana if you go during cold months.
The family, the animals, the location, and everything else was worth the money & the drive. Carla, Adam and family and Guinness, I will definitely be back!
I booked the cottages for a 25th birthday in January. There were 19 of us so we booked out all of the cottages. I found it to be very good value for money at just under 900 for the whole thing... Just over 40 each for a two night stay.... You can't stay in a hostel for that price!!
When we approached the cottages I was astounded by the beauty of the place, with period cottages and even a stream flowing through the location. Lots of farm animals, wood burning fires and the cottages have everything you can possibly need. The beds in each of the cottages are honestly one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in, everyone in the group commented on how great they were.
The communal stable is great for big groups, we played lots of board games, enjoyed some drinks and stayed cosy in front of the fire. I was able to cook a meal for everyone on the Saturday night and the communal stable facilitated this perfectly.
I was initially worried that we would disturb the owners with our noise, because 20, 25 year old after a drink can be a bit rowdy, but the sound of the stream drowned off the noise and they were very hospitable hosts - they just let you get on with it but you know they are there if you need anything.
We enjoyed a walk in their woods and fed the ducks, and pigs. We are hoping to book another visit in the summer so that we can enjoy the grounds a bit more and get some BBQs going! Would highly recommend.
We stayed at the Glyngynwydd cottages from 6-9th November, and arrived on mass (18 of us!) on Friday evening.
The cottages are located right in the heart of amazing Welsh countryside. The owners (Carla and Adam), were so friendly and welcoming to the cottages upon our arrival and showed us around our stunning cottages. They were so helpful throughout our weekend, offering their services and attention for anything that we needed.
We spent our weekend Canoeing, in local pubs and relaxing as a group in Glyngynwydd's communal barn, it was fantastic! I would highly recommend Canoeing for any outdoorsy groups (we booked through Staylittle Outdoor Centre). The reservoir is a stunning drive from the cottages and will be sure to cure a hangover!
All in all a memorable weekend away with a great group of friends - but made even more special by the accommodation and hosts that put us up for the weekend - 10/10!

We stayed here in June we rented at the cottages as a bug family group booking, the owners were lovely nothing was to much trouble you weren't treated as guest you were made to feel like friends.
The accommodation was amazing very clean and tidy the beds were very comfortable the kitchens were like home from home they supplied tea and coffee for you.
The grounds were brilliant a lovely stream outside the cottages a lovely walk up to tyre swing and rope swing and a ladder going up to an amazing tree you can climb.
You can even have your own camp fire in one of the fields.
We will be booking again that's for sure highly recommend

We stayed here for Christmas 2014, and booked 4 cottages and the barn. We had a fantastic holiday. Carla, Adam and family were so helpful and friendly. The cottages had everything we needed, were warm, cozy and nicely decorated. The barn made an excellent venue for our family to gather together for food, with tables large enough to cater for our group and an area suitable for games. The setting is beautiful our children explored and played outside in the gardens, played football and swung on rope swings. We were able to walk from the accomodation up into the surrounding hills all very picturesque. An excellent holiday would love to visit again soon.
