Retreat to this beautiful former barn near Llanilar, about 6 miles from Aberystwyth, in Mid Wales and watch tails wag and ears prick up when your four-legged friends arrive. Sleeping four guests and two canine companions, this beautifully presented property enjoys an enclosed garden, with an area of lawn, where your cheerful chums can pad about. Set off on scenic strolls from the property with your faithful friends beside you. Plan days out to the coast, including to Llanrhystud Beach, 8 miles away, where your happy hounds can dip their paws in the salty water all year round.

Follow a path and a few steps up then wander into this bright holiday home to discover an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where you, your family and your furry friends can spend quality time together. While away evenings in front of the Smart TV, with the wood burner crackling in the background and the pups stealing 40 winks. Make yourself a cup of tea using the boiling water tap in the kitchen, dish up doggy dinners and cook tasty meals for everyone else too. Gather around the table for hearty holiday feasts. There’s a shower room at this level, while two double bedrooms are situated up on the first floor of the barn, where they both have sloping ceilings. Wake up to take in the beautiful views and to watch your cheerful chums roam in the garden, while you have coffee in the sunshine. You also have parking for two cars.

Pick up the Ceredigion Coast Path at Llanrhystud and stretch furry legs with a picturesque, 14-mile hike to New Quay, looking out for dolphins and porpoises in the bay as you go. Make a day trip to pretty Aberaeron, 13 miles away, where your pals can also join you on the pebble beach.

Beautiful cottage, location perfect for a peaceful week away. The cottage was very clean, very well equipped & comfortable. Jonathan gave us good advice on dog walks. Aberystwyth not far away, lots of things to do. Tesco delivery driver found us easily. We will certainly make a return visit.

For anyone energetic and with full use of their legs, this pretty cottage is in a very rural setting, and in many ways is lovely, a spacious living room and everything well appointed, appearing brand new.

A fabulous cottage in a beautiful rural location. The cottage is absolutely lovely with all the comforts you need for a holiday. The garden at the cottage was also great for our dogs as it was enclosed and safe. Our hosts were so helpful and nice.

Spent a week at Swallow Barn and found it was an ideal spot to use as a central base to tour all of Wales. The cottage was immaculate and well set out with an open plan downstairs.

If you are looking to stay in this area then this is a lovely cottage conversion. Despite being on the south side of Aberystwyth the location also gives quick access to the town and areas to the North. Access to the property from the allocated car parking is via a path which slopes up.

Good patio/garden area for spotting the plentiful wildlife in the surrounding trees. Hide
