Helygen

Talybont - Cottage

Perfect for peaceful holidays away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The host, Evan, was very friendly and welcoming but also left you to your own devices. To note: the garden was enclosed for the most part, however our two Cavapoo’s could easily escape under the gate and had to be kept on lead whenever outside due to neighbouring fields with sheep. A small inconvenience but well worth knowing when booking if you have a small dog!

Our daughter was 18 months is now 4, we now have a little boy. The cottage is so peaceful and Evan is so warm and friendly and hard working. We will definitely be back again to enjoy scenery and tranquillity.

Your hospitality and kindness is great, you really are a fantastic host. We have become very good friends enjoying our meal again in the White Lion. See you again in October. Forever friend.

We will definitely return in the near future. Evan’s hospitality is wonderful and has made us feel more than welcome, what a lovely gentleman, we will look forward to seeing you again.

We love coming here , it feels like home, so comfortable and well stocked. Even though we had a lot of rain we enjoyed the Welsh countryside in all it’s stormy glory and we really appreciated the rare moments of sunshine . Once you have met our host, Evan, you know you will always be welcome. Evan goes above and beyond to make sure you get to enjoy your stay with him. A truly lovely gentleman. We look forward to next time.

We loved to see the lambs in the fields next to the cottage, sometimes we see them being born! We all enjoy staying here as there is so much going on around in the area. The hot tub is a big attraction as well.
We will be back again in October. Thank you Evan.

We have stayed in both Helygen and Eithinog and have always found them to be of a high standard and immaculate condition. Sitting in the hot tub looking out at the beautiful view is one of our favourite ways to relax after a day of exploring. We recommend visiting the Red Kite feeding center, the Rheidol Railway to Devils Bridge and Corris Craft center. Morgan’s Butchers in Aberystwyth is a great spot for a carvery roll and if it’s dry head up Constitution Hill, the views are spectacular. Aberdyfyi is also worth a visit.
Evan you have been as always, a wonderful host. Thank you for always taking care of us and ensuring we have a great stay. The work you and Carol put into these cottages really shines through and it feels like a second home to us. You are the hardest working man we know and have the biggest heart. Stay safe, keep well and we’ll see you soon! All our love as always.

Such a beautiful, clean and well-equipped cottage. Evan made us so welcome. Appreciated the welcome pack ( the milk was amazing ) and the little touches like toiletries in the bathrooms that make the rental stand out from the crowd. We were a little bit unfortunate with the weather but enjoyed exploring the coast, Aberystwyth, Barmouth, Borth, Aberdyfi, Porthmadog, New Quay, Aberaeron and Llangrannog. The hot tub was delightful with gorgeous views. We ate at the White Lion. Be warned – the portions are huge! Food cooked from scratch, good quality. Had Chinese take away from Bow Street – OK, nothing special. Devils Bridge Falls worth a visit. Aberaeron harbour lovely Llangrannog beach secluded and picturesque dolphins seen.
