HEATING

We are striving to be eco friendly and making the most of
our natural resources whilst providing comfortable modern amenities.
We have been accredited with the cottages.com Green Award for Sustainability.
The primary and most efficient source of living space
heat is the wood burner.
The panel radiators and bathroom under floor heating are
thermostatically controlled and will provide background
heat.
We have set the fire ready for you to light and supplied
you with your first basket of logs and some firelighters to
help you get started.
Logs may be purchased at the garage in Brynhoffnant (4
miles) or you may purchase them from us (by the net).
THINGS TO KEEP YOU SAFE

Torches We provide torches in each cottage to help navigate the grounds but please keep them to hand at night in case of power cuts or out and about on dark night

Gas lighters and fire gloves We provide gas lighters for the log burners for your convenience and to avoid matches and fire gloves to protect your hands. There are also fireguards for your use.

Extinguishers and Fire blankets are located in your kitchen

First aid kit are in the kitchen.

We provide spare batteries and bulbs, please get in touch if you need any of these replacing.

It is important that you read the information about hot tubs before using them
Cleaning Chemicals – please only use the cleaning chemicals provided and only flush human waste and soft tissues as we have a
treatment plant/sceptic tank. It will easily block causing great inconvenience as well as cost.
Dogs must be kept on leads outside your garden or the designated exercise areas.
Sash Windows – To open the sash windows, please turn the two catches located half way down the window fully to the right and then
either slide the upper sash down or the lower sash up as far as the restrictors will allow. To close the wind, firstly check that the catches
are fully rotated (to avoid damage when closing) to the right and then slide the sash up or down as needed. Rotate the catches fully to
the left to secure the windows shut. Please do not open the tilt mechanism… unless cleaning them

Great location, just inland from the coast, a working small holding with goats, ducks, Guinea fowl and chickens. Each cottage was well equipped and has its own hottub .

If you are after a quiet getaway from the rat race then this is a perfect choice. Just far enough into the countryside that you feel far far away from usual hectic life but not that far from local shops and the many places to visit. I've never been to Ceredigion before and I fell in love with the area. So much wildlife and stunning scenery. Highly recommend the coastal path which you can find within a few miles of the cottage. The kitchen has EVERTHING you need to cook up a storm, better than my kitchen at home! Lovely welcome hamper with fresh eggs and local produce on arrival was a fantastic touch! Perfect place if you have a dog too. Can't rate Dolgoy cottages highly enough.

Very relaxing and peaceful., comfortable beds in this thoughtfully equipped cottage. The log burner and hot tub really enhanced a crisp bright January stay. Secure paddock for our lively young dog a great addition too. Chris and Linda very welcoming hosts. We will add this to our staycation list for sure .
