Tŷ Barcud

We recently spent a week at Ty Barcud and had a very successful and enjoyable stay. Barb and Hugh the hosts couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Despite the cold and wet weather we managed to get out every day doing some walking and cycling in the glorious local countryside. We always looked forward to getting back to the Pod every evening to get cosy and warm. The accommodation is in a stunning location with wonderful views over the Ystwyth valley. It is a true rural hideaway, yet is surprisingly convenient for Aberystwyth and local beauty spots such as Devil's Bridge. The Pod is very comfortable and surprisingly commodious. Why not plan a longer stay of a week or more? - it is suitable for a holiday at any time of the year.

We had a lovely stay here for our first holiday together May 1-3, 2021. Barbara and Hugh were perfect hosts (we loved the welcome hamper that included bara brith and locally sourced foods), providing advice about where to go and what to do, the surrounding countryside was beautiful, the pod had everything we needed for a short stay and we really enjoyed evenings with the fire pit and using it as a bbq too. The local pub is within walking distance away, so was perfect for food and a drink, and Aberystwyth is only a short drive away too. Would highly recommend and happily go back too.

Spent a wonderful week here. So much to see and do. Experienced every type of weather I think except snow!
The pod is cosy and comfy and has everything you could possibly need. Highly recommended! Thank you Barb and Hugh for an amazing week

We had such a wonderful stay. It is the most peaceful place to switch off and relax in the countryside, and just listen to the wildlife, sitting in front of the fire pit with marshmallows supplied. Cabin perfect.
Devil's Bridge and kite feeding, make a wonderful day out.
Thanks barb

Barb was an amazing host from the moment we got there, she even left my partner a gift as we were staying for his birthday (a step above & beyond!). Hugh was also very welcoming & friendly. The pod is spacious, self catering & offers amazing views first thing in the morning as well as the evening. There's plenty to see around Aberystwyth. Would definitely recommend taking a trip down to the local Y Ffarmers pub! Perfect getaway from the hustle & bustle of city life. We already miss being there & shall be returning! I've already told family members how brilliant this little pod was!

Came with my Girlfriend for her birthday and it was absolutely stunning! The views were breathtaking and the pod itself was lush! It was so lovely being the only people in the meadow (bar the chickens and ducks!) Barb and Hugh were so lovely and so were the dogs, will recommend to everyone to stay here for some peace and quiet!

Had a refreshing stay and wouldn't have changed anything. Very private and beautiful location. Hosts left us to explore but had some great suggestions.
Accomodation is well equipped, with good storage areas to keep tidy. Also tried out the fire pit and swing chair which was perfect and got some great views over the valley and of the birds.
The food hamper was a really welcome extra touch!
Would recommend!

Due to covid we had to re-book our original booking for a year later. It was worth every second waiting. The pod was perfect, the setting was perfect, so private and quiet. We could sit outside for hours just admiring the views. We would absolutely visit again!
Barb and hugh are lovely, friendly people, which just added to the perfect little get away. We would definitely recommend!
Thank you so much Barb and Hugh xx
