Rusty Boathouse Reviews

Sophie
Beautiful We have just got back from The Rusty Boathouse, we stayed the May bank holiday Monday for 2 nights so we were super lucky and had amazing weather It is beautiful, exactly like the photos, the fire pit outside has since been upgraded and now is gas which we found super easy to use. Inside there is air conditioning which we definitely needed and was grateful for. Its in such a peaceful location and only a 10 minute drive into New Quay where we went to spend the day. Highly recommend this place. Like some others have said, if I was to be reallyyyy picky, it would have been nice to have a blind on the kitchenliving area door.
What an absolutely beautiful experience staying here was. We spent hours in the hot tub and on the deck chairs just watching the wildlife in the day and the bats at night. The little lake was beautiful with loads of dragonflies and damselflies zipping around. We had a go in the rowing boat which was pure fun and laughter inducing. The lodge was very well laid out, clean and very discreet, although there are other lodges nearby we never saw anyone during our stay exactly what we wanted. We loved it so much we want to come back again. Very peaceful and very beautiful. The owners have clearly put a lot of thought into this lodge. The most relaxing 3 nights weve had in a long time. I cant even think of anything negative about this place, it was pure bliss. Oh and how could I forget the alpacas, we had a little meet n greet with them when we arrived. This place has to be on the top of your list of places to go.
What a fantastic find. The boathouse was extremely comfortable and well equipped in a secluded, peaceful situation with a great outlook. To wake up in the morning & look out over the small lake & see a family of geese, moorhens & a variety of birds flying around was superb. With the added bonus of having a private hot tub it resulted in a perfect relaxing week even though the weather was poor. Would highly recommend this accommodation & we will hopefully return in the near future.
An amazing staycation! Location was perfectly secluded and peaceful. The views with the sunrisesunsets were stunning! Even though the weather wasnt great it was the perfect accommodation for a cosy few days, the weather couldnt stop us using the hot tub either! Highly recommended! Well definitely be back!
Natalie
Wow!!! What an amazing place. Beautiful scenery, lovely lake which we took the boat on and had a go
Absolutely loved the rusty boathouse. Very comfortable and great places to explore locally. Fabulous location and wonderful views.
Kornelia
I can honestly say it exceeded all my expectations. The lodge itself was immaculate. It struck the perfect balance between luxury and relaxation, making it so easy to unwind and fully enjoy the experience. Waking up to the gorgeous views each morning was an absolute highlight. What truly made the stay exceptional, though, was the atmosphere. It felt private, tranquil, and special the perfect escape from everyday life. Whether relaxing inside or enjoying the outdoor space, everything about it felt seamless and well maintained. When leaving with my partner we had regrets that we didnt book longer!! If I had to suggest one small improvement, it would simply be adding a blind to the sliding door. I would absolutely return and highly recommend this lodge to anyone looking for a peaceful, highquality getaway. It was a truly memorable experience. Thank you so much.
Angela
Perfect autumn break. The rusty boat house is cosy & well equipped , with the added bonus of a beautiful sea view over the pond. The hot tub is secluded with the lovely addition of trailing lights. We have stayed in all 3 pods now and will continue to visit. Its a great base to venture out and explore different places. New Quay is one of our favourites.
A soon as we unlocked the door it took our breath away. It was so warm and private I cant emphasise enough how perfect it was. We went away for a short minymoon and we definitely will be going back. It was November so we thought it would be cold, it was warm enough to the point of needing the air con on one night. The hot tub had an airlock no fault of anyones and it turned off. The owner was round with someone to fix it within the hour. I could not fault them. It was quiet and peaceful, we had alpacas opposite us which were lovely to watch. When we were departing he wished us fair well and also went to fetch some scissors to help us cut our wedding ribbons off our car for our drive home. We will definitely be booking again. Thank you!
Absolutely stunning accommodation. That actually looked like the listing. Was really lovely. The hot tub looked super clean and was really nice to sit in. Only thing I will mention that was a bit questionable was the toilet door, there may aswell not of been one. It doesnt shut, doesnt have a latch its a swing door with an open bottom and top. if you shut it up it just falls open. luckily me and my partner are quite comfortable with each other, otherwise it might've been a little awkward. I will still give 5 because the accommodation was that nice! would stay again for sure! Also beautiful views, including cute Alpacas! Thanks for a lovely stay
What a gem, the location is brilliant, peaceful, picturesque and despite a small issue on arrival re water supply, which the host fixed immediately which was very reassuring, I loved staying here. The fridge is ample sized we took frozen meals which we left in the fridge for our 4 night stay. The kitchen area is well equipped cooker, mwave, kettle, toaster etc. Bathroom area is excellent. Hot tub very relaxing. What's not to like. Everything was just first class.

Christine
Absolutely fabulous. Loved it.
Lovely modern little pod. Feels very luxurious. Felt very spoilt with the scenery and hot tub. Very clean and perfect for what we wanted. Close to local shops, restaurants and beaches.
Property is so nice and such a nice escape from the real work however, An extra blind on the left door and widow as the sun comes through and wakes you up, maybe a bigger place to hang up clothes bigger bed side tables so you can put more than just a drink on them, however everything else was perfect,.
Christopher
Such a stunning glamping pod. So relaxing by the pond, everything you need and an excellent location for coastal walks and attractions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Rusty Boathouse.
Robert
We absolutely loved it. Very private , really nice lodge with lovely scenery and wildlife from the lake to the birds tapping at the window in the morning. Can't wait to return tbh. Needless to say we were very happy with our stay.
Daniel
It was generally nice place however thought it was lacking a bit of maintenance. The outside lights werent working fully and the door to the toilet was broken at the hinge. There were also a few wood lice crawling around which indicates moisture although I dont expect there to be no insects or anything like that especially in the countryside! Also, although not important, it would have been nice to get some personal touches or welcome messages, even just a bottle of champagne or a box of chocolates. If these aspects were addressed, it would be 1010 as the place was easy to find with lots of parking and the overall layout of the place was pleasant.
Honestly such a lovely place would definitely recommend if your looking to get away with your partner
Lovely owners, reassured us if we needed any help they were at arms reach. However no help was needed because the boathouse had everything we needed.
Absolutely stunning, me and my partner stayed in the rusty boathouse on the 21st till 24th December. The 3 nights was too short so next time we will have to stay longer.. really enjoyed our stay , we looked up the other two accommodations the piglet and the tripod and these two also look amazing. Thinking maybe stay in one of those next time ,my partners idea as I said I want to stay in the rusty boathouse as the view of the lake to wake upto in the morning was amazing.. thank you and see you in the new year ..
Victoria
We had a lovely stay at the rusty Boathouse. The main issues and recommendations we would have is that when we arrived at 4pm, the Boathouse was very,very cold and took a couple of hours to come up to temperature. I think consideration needs to be given during the winter months to have the property warm for guests arrivals. There is limited space for hanging clothes and no where to put other items of clothing ,so technically living out of suitcase for the week. There is also no where to hang outdoor coats. This didn't spoil our stay, but would recommend taking these into consideration for future guests.
Howard
Everything about the property was 5 star, from the facilities, the little extras tea coffee etc, the hot tub, rain shower, comfy bed, the view over the large pond was fabulous when the electric blind went up remotely. We had superb sightings of a Red Kite and a Kingfisher from the comfort of our bed and also the 3 Alpacas for neighbours and a moorehen that came looking through the windows for breakfast every day. The owners were on always on hand if anything was needed but never intrusive. This place definitely had the WOW factor.
A fantastic property in a lovely location. Loved the wheelbarrow used for carrying luggage on the short walk to the boathouse. Although 3 properties, very well spread out so extremely private & quiet. Gorgeous views across the fields with several alpacas nearby. The boathouse itself had everything you could need. Very comfortable & great viewing due to the full length glass windows, which opened out onto a deck & small lake. Very central for getting around, Aberaeron & Newquay a short drive away. Highly recommend this property, the most relaxing few days had.
Lovely place I would 100 go again
W shave a brilliant week, we really needed it and it was worth every penny. Beautiful pod and the lake was amazing. Watching the bats at night from the tub was especially wonderful. Would definitely recommend this place.
Andrew
An absolutely AMAZING stay at the rusty boathouse. Would 100 recommend to anyone and already looking at when we could return. The boathouse was modern, clean and had the most incredible views and facilities. Everything was easy to use and the owners were on hand for any questions or requests we had.
Fabulous place to stay
Amazing stay, we loved it. Beautiful setting thank you!
Christine
What a stunning place . Loved it.
Denise
Fab place but the oven could be doing with a deep clean.
Luxury glamping and more. Relaxing beautiful stunning setting with views and bird song to help you unwind and switch off. Very private and secluded corner plot on the family farm. Dylan, friendly and approachable should you need to contact him as the owner. All your required kitchen accessories available, Nespresso coffee machine, comfy bed, lovely rain shower, bath robes, towels, outdoor seating and the hot tub all provided. It was a perfect few days honeymoon for us. Everything we hoped for and so much more. Just perfect.
The place was incredible for our mini honeymoon! We love the peace and quiet! The hot tub was lush. The pond with the boat was great fun! The local food was amazing. The moody cow would 100 recommend! Thank you so much. We will definitely be back!
Beverley
A beautiful place to stay and Id come back. The scenery was beautiful and the birds that visited each day were spectacular. The hot tub was lovely, hot and clean and we enjoyed sitting out in the evening with a fire on the go. The owners were lovely when we met but they didnt bother us at all very kind. We loved the local places to visit and we totally recommend the moody cow with their delicious food at a very good price.
An absolute stunning place
Olivia
We stayed at the Rusty Boathouse for 3 nights to celebrate our MiniHoneymoon! Our stay was just perfect, we had everything we needed, the views were impeccable and the hot tub was just what we needed to relax. We loved waking up and sitting watching the wildlife in bed we sat and watched a red kite eating in the tree just amazing! We can recommend a day trip to New Quay for boat trips and dolphin spotting, we had a lovely meal at The Hive and a lovely breakfast at The Moody Cow. Thank you for a lovely stay we didnt want to come home!
Lectron
Absolute bliss in beautiful surroundings! Just returned from a 7 night stay at The Rusty Boathouse. Absolutely beautiful accommodation, modern decor and everything you would need for a lovely stay. The hot tub was amazing, fire pit fabulous and lovely outside recliner chairs to relax in. The Boathouse has all modern features, electric blinds, air con for both hot and cold heating, TV, superb internet connection, comfy bed, fabulous power shower and complimentary robes and slippers. Nice touches on arrival, snacks, range of teas and coffees and espresso coffee machine. There wasnt anything missing. Lovely comfy sofa, bar stools, micro, toaster and more. The scenery is stunning. The sound of the birds, the ripples on the pond and the adorable alpacas in the nearby field. Fabulous, welcoming hosts who were nearby for any issues but who also left you to complete privacy. If you want to relax, destress and chill this is the place to be! Nearby shop and pub and lovely farm shop and bistro nearby. This is really a countryside treat, you will not be disappointed. If we could give it 6 out of 5 we would. The owners have done a fab job on this site and we wish them all the best for the future. Well done and thank you for an amazing stay!
Amazing property and location, Enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and watching ... Amazing property and location, Enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and watching the alpacas in the field behind Weather wasnt the best but meant we actually stayed in more than we would normally and appreciated the stay Would definitely recommend and stay again
Natalie
This place is an absolute gem. You certainly will not be disappointed. Only thing that wasnt great was the weather, but it was December but when you have great views, a hot tub and fire pit it didnt matter!!!
