For a scenic Welsh trip with your partner and pets, stay at this stunning countryside retreat 6.5 miles from the seaside resort of Aberystwyth. You’ll have plenty of spots for wonderful doggie walkies nearby, including the Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forest (8 miles). The sweet stone cottage benefits from a sunny furnished patio where you can relax altogether on mild days, enjoying views of the Welsh fields surrounding your temporary abode.

You’ll enter into the hallway, a handy spot for leaving coats and muddy boots. Step into the spacious living area, a lovely spot with exposed wooden beams and a vaulted ceiling. There’s a lounge area for kicking back with some TV in the evenings, your pets snoozing at your feet, and a modern kitchen for cooking up romantic meals. Why not treat your other half for a candlelit dinner at the round wooden table, with some yummy wine? The cosy king-size bedroom, decorated in peaceful hues and with an en-suite bathroom, is downstairs in this upside-down property.

You’ll be 2 miles from a pet-friendly pub, and in Aberystwyth, you’ll find an abundance of shops, cafes and restaurants to keep you busy. Take the cliff railway up For a dog-friendly day out, head to Aberystwyth train station and take the Vale of Rheidol narrow gauge steam railway to Devil’s Bridge. This historical site features a short nature trail, an impressive 90 m waterfall and a cafe where you can get a cuppa before getting the train back.

We really enjoyed our stay at squirrels cottage, the garden and dog are is amazing. The location is amazing and there is no light or noise pollution at night, its beautifully silent!

Had a really lovely stay. Got a bit confused with the directions but turns out we were in the right place just in the wrong section. Owner was easily contactable and helped ASAP. Lovely views and space. Great location which we got to enjoy the coast and devils bridge, only being 10-15 mins away. Perfect little getaway. Would stay again.

We have been October holidaying in Wales for the last 28years and would say that the Squirrel Cottage we stayed at ranked amongst our top ten places we have stayed. Well presented, in good order and a pleasure to stay at. Great location for peace and quiet and ideally situated for walking holidays.
