Lovely, as always to meet Evan. Thank you.

It was lovely meeting you and seeing Wales. Have a wonderful 2024 year.
Thank you so much for a wonderful Christmas.
Erika Hobson. Reston, Virginia 22nd – 31st December 2023
Thanks so much Evan for a lovely stay at this wonderful cottage. It had absolutely everything we were looking for in a cottage like this. The hot tub was fantastic and we couldn’t have wished for a better view of the valley. We have absolutely no complaints with this remarkable holiday cottage.

Thank you for such a beautiful stay! We arrived to a lovely warm welcome from Evan and welcome gift. Everything has just been perfect from the hot tub,fire, cosy bed and just the pease. A week is just not long enough. Thank you and lots of love.
Brett, Scarlet, Bell, Lizzy and Jenson. Clay Cross 20th – 27th October 2023
What a really comfortable cottage, well equipped, lovely surroundings and the weather has been fairly kind to us. One day 26*C. The only day of rain was Wednesday, but waterfalls and streams need replenishing. Our daughter and her husband have walked miles looking out for rare plants, insects and birds.
My husband and I have enjoyed the surrounding countryside. We particularly enjoyed Aberdyfi, the sea front is really delightful. Bird Reserve at Ynys Hir near Furnace well worth a visit. Hope to return to Evan and his wonderful cottage. Thank you for the welcome pack, much appreciated .
Peter and Sheilah, Jo and David Great Yarmouth. 6th – 13th October 2023
Despite poor weather – including remnants of a hurricane – we have loved relaxing in this beautiful cottage – so well equipped and comfortable.
The welcome from Evan and his daughter was very special. Evan’s story of how the cottages were converted from cowshed and stable ( both derelict) was fascinating.
Thank you so much.
Brenda and Mervyn Pugh Aberdare 15th – 22nd September 2023
Once again a lovely stay. Different cottage this time but still the warm welcome and beautiful surroundings. Many hours spent relaxing looking at the view or spotting the stars. Total Bliss!
Thank you Evan for all you keep doing.
Karen, Wayne, Lauren and Kassie Cheshire 8th – 15th September 2023.
Lovely cottage, fantastic setting and amazing weather. We’ve visited RSPB Ynys Hir, Ynys Las, Hafod Estate, Llanerchaeron, The Arch, and the RedKite Centre. All worth going to and some lovely walks.
Many thanks

We will stay here again.

See you again in May when the sun shines.
Mike and Alice Powis Stoke-on-Trent 28th December -4th January 2024
Thank you Evan for a lovely week again. Its our second home as we have been here so many times before that we have lost count. We will be here again in the New Year.
Look forward to seeing you then.
Mike and Alice Powis Stoke-on-Trent 28th October – 3rd November 2024.
Another fantastic stay at Helygen, we really enjoyed the hot tub and the amazing view as we step out of the house.
We also really enjoyed climbing Cader Idris and this was the perfect place to come back to after a whole day climbing, plus Evan is so kind, from Carys age10.
Thank you Evan for a lovely stay. I loved the hot tub from Sian age 5.
Thank you for another nice stay at Helygen. I really enjoyed looking at the sheep in the field and I hope next time we come here we will see the sheep again. Thank you Evan, Fion.
The Mc Guires Cambridgeshire 21st – 28th October 2023
Such a beautiful, clean and well-equipped cottage. Evan made us so welcome. Appreciated the welcome pack ( the milk was amazing ) and the little touches like toiletries in the bathrooms that make the rental stand out from the crowd. We were a little bit unfortunate with the weather but enjoyed exploring the coast, Aberystwyth, Barmouth, Borth, Aberdyfi, Porthmadog, New Quay, Aberaeron and Llangrannog. The hot tub was delightful with gorgeous views. We ate at the White Lion. Be warned – the portions are huge! Food cooked from scratch, good quality. Had Chinese take away from Bow Street – OK, nothing special. Devils Bridge Falls worth a visit. Aberaeron harbour lovely Llangrannog beach secluded and picturesque dolphins seen.
Tricia, Brendan and Alex Fininigan. Liverpool / Merseyside. 9 – 16 September 2023.
This is our first visit to Helygen and it will not be the last as we have already booked again for next year! We found the cottage to be very comfortable, nice and clean with wonderful views. The hot tub was a real hit with us all. The owners are very friendly and helpful and thank them very much for a lovely stay. Looking forward to coming back.
Sue and Melyn Savage, Navin and Jack. East Sussex/ Bournmouth. 2 – 9 September 2023.
Another week of relaxation and a chance to recharge the batteries. The clean air and a change from daily living has been a perfect tonic. The walks in the “hills “ and strolling along the beach at Ynyslas provided the labradors with all the exercise needed — and also helped improve fitness for the owners!
Thanks again until we meet again next year. Best wishes in the meantime.
Stephen and Glenda Taylor. Gosport. UK. 19 – 25 August 2023
Thanks again Evan for a wonderful stay. We’ve had a thoroughly enjoyable stay as always and we look forward to yet another return next year. Until then . . . .
Bruce, Louise and Mae Harfield. Dubai. 12 – 19 August 2023
What a lovely stay we have had. The warm welcome and top tips from Evan made the visit to West Wales even more enjoyable. We’ve appreciated the warm , cosy cottage so thoughtfully supplied with everything needed. It may be the coolest, rainiest July any of us can remember but we are heading home happy and full of lovely memories.
Dall- Edwards- Mason Family. Worcestershire / Wisconsin USA. 22 – 29 July 2023
Another lovely visit ( 10th or 11th ) Cottage perfect, Evan exceptional. We always feel it’s home from home and now part of the family. Will be back next year. Thank you.
Anne and Steve. Nottingham. 24th June – 1st July 2023.
Many times we have visited Evan and the lovely cottages. Two glorious weeks, one with our daughter and family and one week by ourselves, it’s like home from home. Evan is a fantastic host and we had the pleasure of his daughter visiting from America, a lovely lady. Look forward to seeing you at New Year again and for a short stay in August.
Michael and Alice, Alison Myla and Seth. Stoke- on- Trent. 27th May – 10th June 2023
We’ve had a lovely week in this great cottage. Plenty to see and do with beautiful scenery. We all enjoyed the hot tub. Many thanks, Evan.

My second time here, after arriving a day late due to mother nature, another fantastic time was had. Thank you Evan for being a fabulous host. We’ve already booked for next year.

Dorset 21st – 27th October 2023
Such an amazing place! Was not prepared for the river but Evan taught me well and it only got easier as it dropped every day. More rain due so having to leave a day early but I’ll definitely be back again. Evan was a true gent, thoroughly enjoyed chatting to him and finding out the history of the place. He went above and beyond to ensure our stay was good. Thank you so much.

Another wonderful stay (6th). As always time goes by far to quickly. Always a pleasure to meet up with Evan, see you next year.

Lovely comfy cottage, has everything you needed. Weather was not on our side. Our first visit here only managed to get out a couple of times first few days. Heavy rain over the remaining days ment the river was to high to pass to go anywhere so the last four days was spent here.
Steve and Zena
16th – 21st September 2023
What a little bit of Heaven! Evan and his daughter very very friendly and welcoming. House was very warm and well equipped. If looking for a walk on the beach try Borth. Very open and dog friendly. Just a little note, be aware of the ticks .

We had an absolutely amazing time here. Not only is the cottage comfortable and nicely done, the views, walks, sights etc. are unbelievable!! Evan really takes everything over the top, so kind, helpful and friendly, he helped us out very much and was such a pleasure to get to know and chat with.
We are looking forward to coming back. Thank you for everything .
