Overview
Property code: OC-E32781

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.

Great little cottage that is in the middle of Llanon.good location to get around the coast. If you take a dog just be careful if the spiral stairs. Obviously not carpeted but may be difficult for a dog to get upstairs.

What a charming cottage! It is perfectly located for hiking the coastal path, venturing into the rugged mountains of mid Wales or visiting the pretty harbour town of Aberaeron, with its famous colourful houses. The vibrant and cosmopolitan university town of Aberystwyth is only 20 mins drive away, which is home to the National Library of Wales as wRead moreell as interesting shops, cafes and pubs. The cottage was immaculate when we arrived and had a warm and cosy feel. The beds were exceptionally comfortable and there is a sizeable grassed garden which no doubt would be lovely to relax in during the summer months - I think this must be the first time I've stayed in a cottage with its own Quoits lawn! The heart of this cottage is the living area - the warmth and glow of the log burner a particular treat during the winter months. The decor is charming and thoughtful and adds to the character of the property. Everything worked as expected and there was excellent WiFi throughout the property. The beach is just a short stroll away, passing a playground, handy if you have young kids. It was ideal for morning walks with the dog and catching the spectacular sunsets in the evening. We loved our stay in this cottage and can't wait to return. Hide

We really enjoyed our stay in this characterful cottage. Lots of original features like exposed beams and stone floor in the living room. Wood-burning stove also very nice & made it cosy. The property was clean and had everything you needed. Beds were comfortable. The back garden was nice as well. We stayed in March so didn't get to use it toRead moreo much, but it's private and i think would be a bit of a sun trap later in Spring and through Summer. Parking was fine. We usually left the car in the car park opposite the White Swan pub and walked back. You can also park close enough to the drive for cars to pass. We did this on the last night and had no problems. All of the surrounding areas are lovely - Llanon, Aberystwyth, Cardigan and Aberaeron. Plenty of walking routes but the stand out might be Aberaeron to Llanerchaeron. Overall we had a great stay at Eiddwen, and are hoping to go back there again this summer Hide

A quaint old and characterful cottage, but it could have been a bit cleaner. The kitchen and the equipment in it needed a wipe over before we could use them. We found the sofa really uncomfortable and the beds were too firm for us. Storage in the twin room is limited. We enjoyed our stay but left a day early to get back to our own comfy beds.

Weve shared your comments with the owner, who really appreciates your feedback and always aims to keep the cottage in great condition for guests.

We visited with two young children for a long weekend. The cottage is lovely, everything we needed was on hand, and the beds were really comfy. The wood burner was also a real bonus, with kindling and logs available in the shop round the corner. We were caught in the middle of Storm Amy the whole weekend but thankfully the cottage had enough toRead more keep the kids entertained with some games and books, and a smart TV with iPlayer/Netflix/YouTube. The internet was great on my Android phone, and covered the whole cottage easily. We were perfectly situated for our (wet and windy!) trips to Aberystwyth and Aberaeron, and the village itself was lovely. Big fan of both Sglods chippy and Rockin Robin's record shop in the village. Everyone is so friendly! I'd definitely be happy to stay here again! Hide

Llanon is a very nice village and all the residents were very friendly. Very short 5 minute walk to the sea with exceptionally clean air. We used the local shop, the butchers (which we thoroughly recommend)as well as the The White Swan for dinner (huge portions.

WiFi was an issue with android phone - worked after a couple of days with Apple phone. Many interesting villages and towns to visit in the vicinity. Good bus service which we used several times.
