About this property
This coastal bolthole is in the quaint village of Llanrhystud, close to the gorgeous beaches and coast paths of Cardigan Bay. The property sleeps five guests and makes a great base for families and groups of friends, with a sociable kitchen/diner and a myriad of creature comforts, including a warming wood burner.

The traditional Welsh cottage is warm and inviting, with beautiful exposed woodwork, original beams, and a cosy wood burner. Relax in the comfortable lounge after a day of exploring, stretched out on the sofa to watch the Smart TV or curled up in an armchair with a good book. From here, move through to the stylish kitchen/diner which has everything needed to create tasty dishes and a farmhouse-style dining table for sharing mealtimes as a group. A single bedroom and a handy shower room complete the ground floor. Upstairs, a double bedroom and a bunk bedroom await, both with delightful sea views.

Mrs Jones
I completely fell in love with this cottage! The mix of the modern with the traditional and the individual touches made it such a comforting and relaxing place to be. The beds were really comfortable and the shower was very hard to leave! Lovely enclosed outdoor space to sit in the sun and just enjoy. The hosts were really lovely too and we really enjoyed the welcome basket filled with their homegrown produce. I really didn't want to leave!

We really loved our week at the cottage, it was a beautiful place and with beautiful furnishings. I don't think I've ever stayed somewhere so immaculate before! The welcome goodies were such a lovely surprise and very much appreciated. The cottage is ideal for a quiet stay in a location with stunning scenery, and wildlife, you can see the sea from the bedrooms too. The cottage is situated in a good spot for going to places such as Aberystwyth or Aberaeron. We really loved our stay and will hopefully get to return, and have already recommended it to friends.

A beautifully decorated cosy cottage in an amazing location. The owners were very helpful and always on hand if we had a question. The children loved the garden and being able to play outside and explore safely. It’s a great family home and has everything you could need to have a great holiday. There’s lots to do locally and further afield with lots of suggestions in the guest book. We will be back for a future visit.
