In a peaceful spot in rural West Wales, this holiday home is surrounded by working farmland, creating a lovely spot for a relaxing trip with up to two dogs. You’ll be 2 miles from a pet-friendly pub and 6.5 from the seaside town of Aberystwyth, offering pretty coastal walks and a lovely beach. The six-person house is brimming with old-world charm, with its stone exterior, vaulted ceilings and wooden beams. You’ll also have access to a shared children’s play area – excellent if there are any youngsters in your party!

The property has an upside-down layout, with the living area on the ground floor and the three bedrooms downstairs. You’ll spend much of your time in large open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, a lovely space with sofas, a modern kitchen and a farmhouse-style table for enjoying meals together. After long days lapping up the local sites, your pets will love dozing at your feet while you relax into a film on the Smart TV, glass of wine in hand, perhaps! Outside, you’ll have a private patio area with a picnic bench for having breakfast as you admire the panoramic views of lush Welsh fields.

When it’s time to explore your surroundings, head to the nearby Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forest (8 miles), where the pets to lead you on walks in a wonderful woodland and lakeside setting. Looking for a pet-friendly day out. We recommend going to Aberystwyth station and boarding the Vale of Rheidol narrow gauge steam railway to Devil’s Bridge. This fascinating site has an impressive 90 m waterfall that’s well worth the trip.

A lovely, large and comfy cottage with a huge shared garden - great for children and our dog loved being chased around it every morning! The sofa is huge and so comfy - we would have taken it home. A 15/20 minute drive to Aberystwyth town where youll find all you need. Would stay again :)

The Hares Hideaway is a lovely spacious barn conversion for 6 people. Our grandchildren enjoyed the big green play area with trampoline and swings. Its very well appointed and the upper living room and kitchen retains its heat well. Great to have 3 ensuite bathrooms too. The lanes are narrow but you soon get used to where the passing places are! WeRead more really enjoyed the Butterfly House that was only 15 mins away and a walk in the the wooded valley (and waving to the Rheidol Valley Stem train!) Hide

We highly recommend The Hares Retreat as a comfortable, well equipped, clean cottage with lovely views, ample parking and a small, private space outside. There is an enclosed grassy area where our dog ran free and made friends! We particularly valued the spacious living area. En suites for each bedroom were an added bonus. The cottage is off the beRead moreaten track but its only a few minutes into Aberystwyth. Lots of places to visit. A super family break! NB: several steps up to the property. Hide

A lovely cottage in a very quiet and peaceful location, surrounded by fields. The "upside down" layout made the most of the views to countryside and coast. Amenities were great and everything we needed was provided. A lovely welcome pack of provisions was an unexpected treat. Would have no hesitation in booking again.
