Reviews like this just make our week 🥰

"The Villa Abereiddy is without doubt the best property we have ever rented in Wales. Beautifully appointed and clean, it was like walking into our own home (even down to the art on the walls, the ornaments on the window sills/shelves and the Port Meirion in the cupboards).

The furnishings and beds were super comfortable, and the three bathrooms meant that no toilet or shower was too far away. The whole house oozed quality and every appliance worked as it was supposed to (surprisingly rare in our experience of holiday rentals).

The information pack left no technical stone unturned whilst the welcome pack, although a potential cardiovascular time bomb, was a delicious treat!

Abereiddy itself is a wonderful little oasis, particularly out of season, as it offers not only the famous Blue Lagoon but also some amazing clifftop hikes. The Sloop Inn in Porthgain, a 45-minute yomp through some incredible seascape scenery, offers good pub grub and a blazing log fire. The Villa Abereiddy is an amazing find that we will most definitely return to in the very near future."
