Guests have consistently praised the cottage for its spotless condition, peaceful and rural setting, and proximity to New Quay and other local areas. The accommodation is described as beautiful, spacious, and well-equipped, offering a serene retreat with the sound of birds and scenic forest walks. While there are minor maintenance issues mentioned, the overall experience is highly regarded, with many guests willing to recommend the property and expressing a desire to return.
Reviewers unanimously mentioned the cleanliness of the lodge, describing it as 'spotless' and 'very clean', indicating a high standard of cleanliness throughout the property.
The location is frequently praised for being ideal, peaceful, and close to local attractions such as New Quay and Aberaeron, as well as offering lovely forest walks, suggesting a very satisfactory location.
The property is described as spacious and pleasurable to stay in, with good Wi-Fi and TV facilities. However, a minor issue with a shower not draining quickly is noted, slightly affecting the comfort score.
Facilities like Wi-Fi and TV are appreciated, but there are comments about a shower draining slowly and a clothes horse not staying up. These maintenance issues slightly lower the facilities score.
A 'hamper' was expected by one guest but was found to be minimal, consisting only of Welsh cakes and milk. While the gesture is noted, guests should be aware that such gifts are not guaranteed and may vary.
Situated upon Woodlands Park Resort, just outside New Quay in Ceredigion is “Moonshine”, a wonderful single-storey lodge.
Moonshine sits surrounded by woodland, in a quiet corner of the park. Its enviable tucked-away position affords occupants a delicious mix of peacefulness combined with access to the on-site facilities, including “The Bar”, a pop-up bar and coffee lounge (open for occasional theme nights), an onsite shop for essentials and a welcoming doggy boutique and free warm water dog shower. While gorgeous woodland walks are available right from the door, only a short journey away are an array of beaches to visit, each with their own characteristics. Whether you want to take in a stretch of the 60 mile long breath-taking Ceredigion coastal path, build sand castles, go crabbing, paddle board or spot dolphins, there really is something for everyone. Which is why Moonshine invites four guests and up to 2 furry companions for a memorable seascape.
The lodge benefits from off-road parking for up to two vehicles and is accessed up steps. Entering into the open-plan living space, it is stylishly furnished with plush seating, a Smart TV, an electric fire, a dining table for four, and a sleek kitchen, housing all the expected appliances.
Enjoy your nature-filled environment by dining alfresco, relaxing upon the decked veranda with a glass of wine in hand. The environment is peaceful and nurturing, filled with the sound of birdsong and the gentle ripple of the nearby stream. The veranda is wonderful for catching the afternoon and evening sun and if you enjoy star gazing you’ll be in for a treat with wide un-polluted skies above.
There is a double bedroom with Smart TV and an en-suite with shower, plus a twin bedroom with en-suite access into the main bathroom / shower room.
The local area is brimming with activities. For the adventurous there is the Llain Activity Centre, where you can kayak or try your hand at paddleboarding or for a thrilling day out, why not visit Oakwood theme park.
For those that enjoy wildlife you will be spoilt by the numerous wildlife spotting boat trips along the Heritage Coast from New Quay, where seeing dolphins and seals is a regular occurrence. While in New Quay, consider a visit to the Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre, or discover the New Quay Honey Farm, showcasing bee exhibitions, led by a team with over 25 years of experience.
Younger visitors will be kept happy with a visit to the Moody Calf play barn or one of the family friendly farm parks, and for those who enjoy culture why not visit the National Trust Georgian manor house at Llanerchaeron, designed by John Nash, the National Wool museum or just sit back and relax on one of the steam engine railways in the area.
Named the “Best seaside town in Wales” in the 2022 Which?survey, the picturesque Georgian town of Aberaeron is only 4 miles away, famous for its harbour and colourful houses. The town has numerous boutiques and restaurants to suit all budgets, and is also a fantastic place to enjoy traditional fish and chips, locally made honey ice cream and watch the world go by.
The Woodlands Park resort offers its guests a quiet retreat at the end of a busy day of sightseeing. If this sounds appealing, we would love to welcome you to Moonshine.
A few welcome provisions will be provided to guests - basics to make that all important post journey cup of tea!
Please note that Tesco, Morrisons and Asda will all deliver groceries to the lodge door. Should you wish to organise this, please ensure you include the pitch number on the delivery address (19 Woodlands Lodge Retreat, “Moonshine”) so the driver can find you.
The well-liked Welsh village of Llanarth, which is close to the coast of Cardigan Bay, has a friendly bar, a shop that is modest but well-stocked, as well as a farm shop/butcher that sells local fare. Llanarth's location on the main A487 coast road provides access to a wide range of destinations. Several beaches, fishing lakes, the regency harbour town of Aberaeron, and fantastic walking and cycling trails are all nearby and only a short drive away. Only three miles away is the well-known oceanfront harbour town of New Quay, where you may experience a classic seaside atmosphere and possibly locate the day's catch for sale. In New Quay, visitors may enjoy lovely boutiques, tea rooms, ice cream stores, fish and chip restaurants, dolphin viewing, and boat rides. This is the ideal spot for any kind of vacation you're looking for because of the stunning Cardigan coastline and the inland grandeur of the Cambrian Mountains and Preselli Hills.
