Tucked in the peaceful village of Llanon and just half a mile from the sea, this welcoming stone cottage is a dream base for tail-wagging adventures along the Ceredigion coast. Perfect for families or a group of friends with their furry companions, it offers the best of both countryside and coast, complete with a crackling wood burner and enclosed garden for ball games with Fido.
Step into the inviting lounge/diner, where exposed beams, flagstone floors, and a roaring wood burner set the scene for relaxed evenings. After a day of seaside walks and countryside rambles, curl up on the plush sofa with your faithful pup snoozing by the fire. The characterful kitchen boasts more beautiful beams and is well equipped for whipping up hearty meals to enjoy around the dining table after a long day of adventures. Climb the narrow staircase to discover two charming bedrooms beneath the eaves – a king-size and a twin – where sloping ceilings and rustic beams add to the cottage’s cosy, homely feel. A stylish walk-in shower room is ready to refresh sandy feet after your day’s outings. The enclosed lawn and patio garden are a haven for both humans and canine companions, and is a secure spot to bask in the sunshine or enjoy an al fresco meal. A pretty gazebo shelters the outdoor seating for lazy afternoons or evening drinks while your four-pawed pal potters about. While the property doesn’t have its own parking space, you can use the nearby pub car park for free, and there’s additional parking throughout the village.
Stroll straight from the cottage to join the Ceredigion Coastal Path, where you and your loyal hound can follow clifftop trails with sweeping views of Cardigan Bay. Keep your eyes peeled for seals, porpoises, and dolphins as you explore the Wales Coast Path, or head to New Quay (13 miles) for a boat trip that brings you closer to the area’s wildlife. Traditional sandy escapes await at Penbryn, Llangrannog, and Aberaeron (all within 20 miles), where your four-legged explorer can scamper across the sand before a paddle in the shallows. Fans of literature will also love walking in the footsteps of Dylan Thomas along the local trail.
