If you've ever visited a holiday cottage before, you most likely have seen a guestbook in the property for guests to leave a review for others when they arrive. Each of the following comments was lovingly left by people just like you in the guestbook left at Min yr Afon.
A wonderful cottage, spotlessly clean. Thank you for letting us stay here. Couldn't think of a better way to relax and watch Storm Dennis give us its best shot!
Our stay just wasn't long enough. The cottage is simply stunning. Location amazing with gorgeous walks we would love to return. Thank you for letting us stay.
Min yr Afon is a really outstanding cottage in a quiet part of Wales. There are a number of very attractive walks almost from the front door. The weather was changeable to say the least, however the cottage is so comfortable and the walks, especially the old railway, are suitable for most weathers, so it didn't matter. A fabulous cottage to which we hope to return.
Much enjoyed your lovely well-designed renovation. Adapted thoughtfully to the age and style of the home.It was a great pleasure to visit, our thanks for the wine and for arranging such beautiful autumnal weather
A simply delightful cottage with a beautifully set-out interior. Thank you.

Cwmtydu Beach
