Testimonials
A hidden gem, the most amazing cottages ❤️. We stayed as a large family in 2 separate cottages and we were all amazed at how beautiful they were, they have been finished to such a high standard and the little touches such as fresh bread, flowers, local coffee and butters, were very thoughtful. We had 5 dogs between us and they were catered for as much as we were with their dog tags, treats and towels and not forgetting the brilliant dog paddock, which by the way has the most amazing view of the sea. The owners were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. The walks are amazing and you can walk to a small cove within 20 mins for some cold water swimming, however the walk back up is not for the less agile. We had the best family holiday and would definitely come back again.
One of the best cottages I have stayed in . Emma was so so helpful to ensure that our stay was exceptional. 10 family members using 2 of the cottages worked really well. The cottages are isolated sitting amongst beautiful countryside with views of the sea from the dog paddock. The cottages are modern, clean and comfortable and the extra little touches that are provided are amazing – homemade dog treats, dog tags with phone number of Cwm Connell, fabulous coffee and homemade bread. Honey butter to die for! The fully enclosed dog paddock was amazing to run the dogs and sit and watch the sunsets. All in all a wonderful week.
We stayed here for a week in October half term with kids and dogs. Couldn’t have been better. Our hosts Alex and Emma were very kind and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed on arrival and all through our stay. We stayed in one of the newly-renovated cottages which has been done to an incredibly high standard with superb attention to detail. And the beds are incredibly comfortable. There are great walks from the cottages and lovely beaches not far away. As other guests have said “dog-friendly” doesn’t adequately express how welcome our furry friends are. The only place they aren’t allowed is the Hot tub! Highly recommended and we will definitely go again.
Another fabulous week away at these fantastic cottages. The new owners have upgraded the cottages to even better standards. The dogs are truly welcome and have had the best time. The 4 acre dog padock has the most glorious views of the sea worth sitting on the seat in the field even without the dogs. Already looking to book again next year we book 3 of the 6 cottages out to take family with us.
What a wonderful holiday we have just had at Cwm Connell! We stayed in the newly renovated Bron Y Felin and WOW, what a cottage! Immaculately finished to a very high standard, such a luxury feel to a country cottage. Top of the range appliances which made cooking a doddle and not a chore! Beautiful bathrooms, extra comfy beds and many small touches that just made it a dream!
What an incredible week we’ve just had, at what I can only describe as an idyllic setting in one of the most comfortable cottages I’ve ever stayed in. Super stylish, in teal blues making it a beyond relaxing space with all the home comforts you could need. Beds exceptionally comfortable and each cottage, although adjoined, are very private. The hosts are super friendly and dogs are really made to feel at home here. We’re definitely coming back next year!
Emma, the host, is warm, personable and kind ensuring all needs are satisfied. She was open to hear of any improvements required. We couldn’t think of any! Clear, welcoming communication from the point of booking.
The word ‘luxury’ is often overused when describing holiday accommodation in much the same way as ‘artisan’ sometimes is when applied to food products. The new owners of Cwm Connell, Emma & Alex, described the work undertaken on the cottages as a ‘refresh’, which is a complete understatement. Our cottage, which we had stayed in previously, has had new flooring, heating, lighting, appliances and furniture including super-king beds with top quality mattresses. The decor has been enhanced by coordinated tiles, blinds and throws and the framed prints have been thoughtfully chosen.
A wonderful weekend escape. Recently remodelled, you can tell every care has been taken to make the cottages feel like a modern home from home, with beautiful interiors that echo the countryside they’re nestled in. Emma and Alex are such thoughtful hosts and very welcoming, including their lovely dogs! Very much look forward to coming back!
