Property code: OC-73032

A stonework cottage brimming with rustic charm, with sweeping views across the Ystwyth Valley and set in the idyllic countryside near Aberystwyth. This inviting retreat is perfect for a young family or couple and their four-pawed fur child. Seasoned ramblers, budding explorers, and waggy-tailed adventurers alike will delight in navigating the myriad of winding trails at the Bwlch Nant yr Arian Visitor Centre (13 miles), before cooking up a sizzling BBQ feast on the sun-dappled patio.

This contemporary cottage features an accessible interior complete with a warm neutral colour palette, tiled flooring, and light wood furniture. Dry off soggy paws with a fluffy towel then venture into the multi-aspect lounge. In cooler months, congregate in the glow of the electric open fire and unwind with a warming tipple or curl up for an evening movie marathon. Pad into the kitchen diner and sink onto the sofa with an aperitif while the resident chef whips up a hearty evening feast. Prepare an extra meaty supper for your doe-eyed dog before settling around the table to dine with the rest of the pack. Retire to the two well-presented bedrooms, consisting of a spacious double and an airy bunk room perfect for little ones. Playful pups can enjoy some ball-throwing fun in the enclosed patio while you sip a morning brew, or scope out the shared lawned play area and sniff hello to the neighbours. There is private parking at the property and there's a shared laundry room on site with 24 hour access.

Pack a picnic and feast al fresco overlooking on the lawns overlooking the crumbling ruins of Aberystwyth Castle (6 miles), or bask in the salty ocean air with an amble along the Ceredigion Coast Path (7 miles). Boisterous hounds can scamper freely through the emerald wooded estate of Hafod Uchtryd (13 miles), teeming with an abundance of wildlife to explore.

This is a beautiful cottage with a well thought out layout. The kitchen diner is a great space for family to gather and be together. The owners were very accommodating with our last minute booking on the day of arrival. The location is set in the beautiful countryside and ideally situated only an 11 to 15 minute drive to Aberystwyth which we neededRead more to frequently visit during our stay. If the weather had been better we would have loved sitting in the patio garden enjoying the views. Hide

A lovely bright cottage in a fabulous location, with fantastic view towards Aberystwyth. I found the bed too hard for my liking so didn't sleep very well.
