About this property
Just half a mile outside Cardigan and near Cardigan Bay, this small, simple, cottage with low ceilings, nestles in a dip along the road from Cardigan to Llechryd, leading to the Teifi Valley.
There are numerous interesting places to visit nearby, including the Cardigan Wildlife Centre, Mwnt beach and Poppit Sands. A little further up the coast are Aberporth and New Quay, where resident dolphins can be seen.
The market town of Cardigan has a restored castle, good range of pubs, eateries, shops, galleries and an excellent theatre/cinema.
The cottage is perfect for a couple, small family, or guests with dogs, as there is almost an acre of sloped grounds to explore at the rear, with grass and woodland areas to enjoy.
The bustling market town of Cardigan in Ceredigion is set on the River Teifi and offers an array of shops, both unique local producers and larger chain stores, as well as tea rooms, pubs, restaurants and an impressive ruined castle. Surrounding Cardigan is beautiful countryside, whilst the rugged Pembrokeshire coastline is just a few miles away. You have the opportunity to visit the Cardigan Island Farm Park, wonderful Blue Flag sandy beaches like the National Trust beach Mwnt, take a boat trip to spot dolphins and seals, or horse riding at the friendly Dyfed Riding Centre. For keen cyclists take a trip on the National Cycle Route, Number 82. The nearby Preseli Mountains offer wonderful walking and cycling, with some stunning views and an ancient stone monument. Within driving distance is the town of Carmarthen, Dylan Thomas' Boat House in Laugharne, Oakwood Theme Park, Blue Lagoon indoor waterpark, Folly Farm Zoo and the Welsh Wildlife Centre at Cilgerran, as well as an array of castles, mills and craft centres. Cardigan is an excellent base for exploring this part of Wales.

Heating is easily controlled downstairs and the shower was a bonus. Straightforward to get to. Outside is fantastic for dogs though supervision is required for more determined dogs who like to explore the hedges. The only downside is the back yard which becomes a slip hazard in the wet. We will return as location is an excellent base for local exploration.

Clean and comfortable. Ideally based for local attractions. Large garden was ideal for the little dog. Although perhaps in need of a tidy up, trees and shrubbery abit overgrown. Especially at the rear making the patio area dark and too shaded

They are wonderful. However, trees and bushes need attention as garden gets very little light indeed and security of boundaries to the garden is extremely questionable. Back yard was unusable as it is green, due to overhanging branches, so could not hang washing out. Spend a few thousand and you could get an extra couple of hundred per week, but there is some fairly major work needed outside, which you cannot rely on the caretakers to deal with. That said, we had a great week with wonderful weather.
