Just wanted to thank you for a lovely stay at The Mill this week. We absolutely loved the place and location especially all the little touches like the fat balls for the birds and the herbs .. definitely used the oregano! Thank you ! Also many thanks for allowing our son and girlfriend to stay in his van as our fathers had a bedroom each. We enjoyed the peace and tranquilty so much!! Cei Bach beach was our daily walk with the dogs.. a real hit! My dad and I loved the games room too!
Thank you for lovely stay again and would definitely come back.

We have enjoyed our stay in your comfortable cottage. Shame the weather was not kinder to us, but this cannot be helped.
We cannot find faults in any of the facilities. It was just great. I will pass the word round to our friends and hopefully you might see us again and the animal kingdom. Carlie, one of our collie has been sulking since we came back and trying to tell us something!!!!! That says a lot considering she is very anxious and does not like new environment.
Once again thank you for your kindness and helpful tips.
Best regards to you
Michelle, Linda and the three dogs –
What a wonderful week, had by all.
Cosy welcoming house with everything and more than you need.
Safe garden and field for dogs.
So many places to visit. Loved watching the birds in the garden & chickens in the plot next to the dog paddock.
Everywhere we visited was so much fun & the people are amazing.
Would definitely recommend & hope to visit again.

Thank you so much for welcoming us to this little piece of heaven.
So calming and warm and welcoming.
It has been so good kicking back and enjoying time, taking a step out of the rat race.
The Mill is calming, comfortable and so safe for our 3 furry boys who have really settled in and enjoyed themselves.
Just love everything about our little home for a week.
We have stayed in the Cardigan coast over the years, even proposing our marriage in the region, but never really had such an all round brilliant experience of staying somewhere that offers so much and feels home from home.
We hope to see you again soon and look forward to returning, thanks both.
