Overview
Property code: 83551

Beautifully converted barn in the Ceredigion countryside - the perfect for spot to get away from it all and unwind.

Situated on the edge of a peaceful village, not far from the thriving town of Aberystwyth, this sweet retreat for two also welcomes up to two dogs, so you need not leave you beloved hounds at home. A fabulous bolthole, the property is a converted barn set on a spacious plot and surrounded by green fields. Should you decide to embark on the 5 mile trip to Aberystwyth, you’ll discover plenty to see and do; from the ancient castle ruins to the historic Cliff Railway, there are many dog-friendly activities to enjoy.

Enter the barn and be welcomed into the bright and airy open-plan lounge and diner, which benefits from comfortable seating and a Smart TV. Let sleeping dogs lie in front of the wood burner and enjoy a romantic meal in the intimate dining area – it’s a wonderful space to retire to after a day exploring the immediate area and mature woodlands. A modern kitchen has been equipped with all that’s required to cater for a comfortable stay as has the recently fitted bathroom with double walk-in shower, also located on the ground floor. Head upstairs to the spacious master bedroom with double bed, chaise longue and ample storage space. The property has recently been converted and offers a fresh, contemporary feel. Outside, go mutts for the spectacular open views across to the woods from the fully enclosed, courtyard garden which features outdoor seating and the opportunity to dine al fresco. The property is accessible via an uphill path with several steps from the allocated parking space, which sits along the private road.

Llwyngwril is a beautiful coastal village that nestles between the mountains and the sea. Its dog-friendly beach is a popular spot for walkers; let Fido dig for treasure along its sandy stretch or sit back and take in the incredible mountain views. Just 5 miles away, Aberystwyth offers yet more coastal adventures and plenty of establishments which welcome dogs; from the Cliff Railway and walkies along the historic promenade, to the bracing walk up Constitution Hill (with the payoff of spectacular sunsets), you won’t be short of things to do.
