Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.

"Lovely comfortable cottage which was super clean when we arrived."
It's well equipped too so it's really home from home. A new addition this year is the Woodland Walk, where you can sit and enjoy a few mindful moments basking among the trees and dogs can have a good run off the lead. The hot tub is a bonus too - great after a day out. The cottage is well placed for local amenities and you can find anything you want in nearby Newcastle Emlyn.
A short drive to beaches, we liked Poppit Sands with its acres of sand dunes and not too many people.
This was our third stay at the cottages and hopefully not our last.

"A beautiful, clean, well equipped cottage; the owners had thought of everything you would need for your stay."
We received a warm welcome and was pleased that the owners left a thoughtful hamper. The cottage was comfortable and we enjoyed using the conservatory . Our dog was catered for with a small private back area and a small private wood behind the owners house. We hope to return again in the future.

"Anyone booking this cottage will not be disappointed."
The owners Les and Lesley live on site and greeted us on arrival. There is nothing that hasn't been thought about with regards to what you need in the cottage. There were some lovely sun sets seen from the bedroom balcony and the hot tub was an added bonus. The welcome pack was better than any we had at other holiday homes. Bread, butter, tea, coffee, biscuits eggs and jam. The position of the cottage was ideal lovely quiet area but near to plenty of beaches on the Cardigan coastline. Afon Mel honey farm was well worth a visit, try a sample of the mead. Cenarth Falls is a great place for photography and walking. We hoped to see the salmon coming up river but they didn't turn up on our day. Lastly Les and Lesley, lovely hosts we enjoyed some great chats with them and I'm sure any problems would have been sorted straight away. We didn't have any and I'm sure you won't either.

It is clean and comfortable, with the hot tub being an added bonus. Lesley and Les are very friendly and helpful. The cottage is also very dog friendly. Ideally situated in quiet rural area, but with many excellent beaches a short drive away.

The cottage was immaculately clean and smelled beautiful. Les and Lesley have thought of everything you might need from a hairdryer in both bedrooms, beautifully soft towels and dressing gowns (perfect for the hot tub) to a lovely welcome basket. The cottages are set in beautiful country side but not to far from a town. Nothing nicer after a days exploring than a relaxing dip the hot tub. They made us feel welcome along with our dogs. An absolutely brilliant find, will be combing back.

"Les and Lesley have thought of everything to make this cottage so homely yet very practical."
Excellent kitchen facilities and lounge area and the conservatory was a bonus to relax in. The scenery was breathtaking in the surrounding area of the cottage and yet a short a drive away were some fabulous beaches. The Owners even exceeded our expectations with the information folders that they provide, containing detailed descriptions of local walks, beaches, places to visit (including sat nav postcodes) which helped us to plan our week. Of course the highlight was the evening dip in the hot tub watching the sunset, highly recommend this cottage for a staycation.

The cottage felt like a home not a holiday let, I said time my husband I could easily move in here. We spent all our time either sat in the conservatory looking at the views or the hot tub in the evening.
The cottage was very well equipped with everything you could ever need from dishwasher to board games, the cottage is full of character which is down to the owners
Les and Lesley, they live on site and are lovely people they leave you to enjoy your holiday but are there if ya need them and so very very welcoming, stopped to chat with them a few times.

And best of all our dog was made very welcome as well. We are very much looking forward to visiting again. Highly recommended.

A really home from home holiday. From the welcoming site of tea and coffee milk sugar for our first holiday cuppa to the hairdryer with robes and soft towels and comfy beds in each bedroom. Oak cottage is very well equipped and was absolutely perfect a little gem infact. The peace and quiet wonderful, it felt like we'd actually had a break from our hectic lives. The many beaches are in easy reach from just a 15min drive away. Then home to the relaxing hot tub lazing watching the clouds go by and a nice bottle of wine provided in the welcome hamper by our wonderful hosts. Benji our border collie was very welcome too, spare dog bowls under the sink incase we had forgotten to pack his and he enjoyed a lovely walk down the country lanes.

As soon as you walk in the door you feel at home, and after a very long journey it was such a good feeling to walk in the door and have the welcome pack waiting so that you don't have to worry about food & drink on your arrival day.
