Immerse yourself in nature in this rustic retreat tucked amongst the trees in Teifi Marsh Nature Reserve. It's the perfect place for couples or small families looking to fully switch off from the humdrum of everyday life. Enjoy wildlife-rich walks with the woofers from your front door, or head to the coast of Cardigan Bay where you'll find a fabulous choice of paw-friendly beaches, including the family favourite of Poppit Sands (7 miles). In the evenings, sip a sundowner in the tranquil garden, listening to the sound of the birds.
The picture-postcard hideaway has white-washed walls and is decorated and furnished in a country cottage style. The ground floor is open plan and has hard floors, making it easy to deal with the odd muddy pawprint. Spend time here, creating tasty dishes using fresh, local ingredients in the kitchen area or reclining on the plump sofa after a long dog walk. The property has an inviting double bedroom and a cosy bunk bedroom that's ideal for children. A sweet bathroom with a shower over a three-quarter-size bath completes the accommodation. Outside, you'll find a small garden with a picnic bench for enjoying an al fresco meal on a summer's evening.
A series of nature trails criss-cross the reserve, offering the opportunity to spot the resident otters, kingfishers, water buffalos, and red deer (be sure to keep your furry friend on a lead at all times). There's also an excellent children's play area close to the cottage. A 1.5-mile footpath leads to the historic town of Cardigan, where you'll find a great range of independent eateries. For a day at the seaside, journey to Poppit Sands (7 miles) or Aberporth (10.5 miles), both of which have paw-friendly sections all year. Poppit Sands also marks the start of the long-distance Pembrokeshire Coast Path.
