    The property was amazing, very homely. The location was very picturesque and tranquil. The outside bath was just so amazing and a nice touch for the end of day or afternoon just relaxing .

    Absolutely outstanding stay, exceeded both of our expectations. Amazing host and nothing had not been thought of. Wish we could of stayed longer. Beautiful secluded private location but not too far from Aberystwyth if you want to pop in to town for food or a few drinks. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be returning.

    Really would have liked to use the outdoor bath but there is no canopy. This is the only qualm I have! A retractable canopy maybe so it can be enjoyed in summer as well as winter?

    Really lovely finishing touches all throughout the cabin. The attention to detail is second to none. Really cosy and homely. The bathroom is amazing-such a luxury in a cabin. Log burner very efficient, so much so we had to sleep with the windows open in the middle of October 😂. Loved being greeted by the chickens each morning. Little welcome pack was useful and the kitchen literally has everything you need.

    Nothing. We loved it.

    Very lovely facilities, and staff. The cabin was of a fantastic standard and hand crafted by the owner so great pride is taken in it, It was my birthday and they accommodated my partners request and even provided flowers. Also left some local honey and the nicest apple juice made from their own apples. Had a great 4 days and would definitely be back again. The outside bath was a extra special touch. Thank you

    I don’t think there’s anything we were left wanting!

    This place is a real gem and thoughtfully designed for a tranquil experience. If you are looking for quiet and relaxation, this spot is ideal. You have a private cabin next to an orchard and chicken overlooking a meadow with sheep. Very private and the cabin is modern to the point of glamping perhaps being the wrong word for it! The the living space is small but has a lot of storage and all the basics you need. The bathroom is modern with a shower and hot water from a gas boiler and the veranda can be used in any weather. Bed was very soft and comfortable with blackout blinds on every window. The thoughtful welcome you get is great: clear instructions for everything, milk, bread, local honey, coffee and apple juice. The outdoor bath is was a particular highlight after dark with fairy lights and listening to owls hooting in the dark. I stayed with a close friend and would say you can only stay as a couple or with a friend you don’t mind clambering over in bed. There’s a fabulous pub in the village and otherwise it’s a short drive to Aberystwyth and shops. Do pay attention to the directions they give as some of the roads into the village are steep and windy. Overall a magical stay!

    Literally nothing. It really was perfect.

    Our expectations were pretty high and yet this cottage exceeded them! One of the best accommodations we've ever been to. It has all you might need and more. Hosts clearly thought about the smallest things, making this small cabin extremely spacious and cosy. Starting with appliances, through comfortable furniture (loungers for appreciating views, outdoor table for nice breakfasts and barbecue), all the way to fresh flowers and some greeting beverage. And most importantly - the hot bath under the stars at night or peaceful green fields through the day. Idyllic!

    A little piece of heaven in a beautifully crafted cabin with luxurious living space inside and out.

    Leaving.....I could have stayed longer, in fact I extended my stay by one night as it as so peaceful, nurturing and comfortable.

    I fell in love with the cabin as soon as I stepped inside. Skilfully and lovingly hand crafted by Peter, with so many individual nuances in the internal structure, with truly luxurious fittings - a comfortable bed with Egyptian cotton sheets & Welsh wool blanket, a well kitted out kitchen - everything you could want of the highest quality, a good sized bathroom, with large shower, fluffy towels and a warm towel rail. Inside was exquisite, whilst outside was peaceful, well thought out: I enjoyed warming by the chiminea at night until 10pm-ish listening to the flow of the stream which runs down the middle of the sweet meadow, whilst watching the sunset change the colour of the trees. The meadow homed sheep/lambs which were very entertaining. I stayed 5 nights and managed 5 outside baths.....keeping the body submerged within warm water whilst watching the dark night sky/stars was truly food for the soul. I found a deep reservoir within me of peace whilst staying at Dôl Swynol and will, without question, return - a bit later in the year to experience it in a different season. Marion and Peter were thoughtful, helpful, attentive but not in the least bit intrusive. I read 2-3 chapters of all the books on the bookshelf which were completely in sync with the setting.

    Honestly there is nothing to not like!! And if I was to really be picky... I would say the only bit of improvement that could be made is for the outdoor tub to be sheltered a little more for it to be suitable for all weathers... but not a problem how it is now as it didn't stop us having relaxed soak in the outdoors!

    The experience itself was exactly what me and my other needed and it succeeded all expectations!! We thoroughly loved every minute of our stay in the glamping cabin... it truly is glamping... it had everything you need and the owners were amazing, nothing if needed was hassle ! Looking forward to our next stay !

    A lovely cabin

    The location of the cabin isn't as private as we had expected. It felt very much like we were staying in a garden (the neighbours house, not the owners), which made for using the outdoor "private" bathtub a very uncomfortable experience as it is in full view of their house and it is very close by. The chicken coop/orchard area had an electric fence surrounding it, which was not obvious until we spotted signs a day after we arrived (it was very dark on our arrival and we were not told about it), which is an issue as it is running alongside the walkway to the cabin. There is not an oven at the property, only a double hob and an electrical item called a 'Remoska', which is something to consider if you're going to be using the kitchen to prepare a meal. The only real issue we had was the lack of privacy as we did not expect to have people able to see us using the facilities deemed private.

    The cabin itself is absolutely beautiful, and attention to detail is evident throughout the accommodation. Very warm and cosy, with a selection of welcome gifts and fresh flowers available for us upon arrival, made for a nice treat. The views from the cabin were incredible, and we enjoyed our morning coffee watching the chickens wandering around in the orchard. Pete was a welcoming host with plenty of useful information about how best to enjoy our stay in the cabin and the surrounding area, along with being on hand nearby if we needed anything.
