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.

This is a beautiful cottage. Spotlessly clean, it is exceptionally well equipped- we cooked Christmas dinner here. There is plenty of room for everyone and the cottage has a lovely atmosphere. The cottage is located in a beautiful area and we loved going for walks from the cottage every day. I highly recommend this cottage and hope to return.

Bright and spacious cottage, very well equipped. It was perfect for our family of 4 adults and 2 young children. Our 2 grandchildren made friends with the owners children, they had a lot of fun together which was perfect.

Lovely, spacious and comfortable property, love the reverse layout, Hares Hideaway has its own enclosed patio area but not a garden, the garden is part of the shared play area, great base to explore mid Wales and its coastline. Y Ffarmers is a must for great food, a very short drive away

Stunning cottage in a stunning setting. The hosts were very kind and helpful, the cottage had all the equipment/furniture we needed and was very clean and lovely. Every room having an en-suite bathroom was a big plus for us. The kitchen was well kitted-out. The whole place felt spacious yet cozy. There were stunning views out of the windows, too!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The house is amazing and plenty spacious enough for the 4 of us, plus 2 dogs. It was very doggy-friendly with the enclosed garden area which would be suitable for young children, with a little play area. Some lovely tidbits were left for our arrival.

The security deposit is my main critique, it's such a deterrent from staying again. Hide

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!
