About this property
Drive into the pretty coastal village of St Dogmaels and spot your end-terrace holiday cottage with its delightful front garden where you can sit awhile with a cup of tea and watch the world slowly go by or chat to the friendly locals. Stepping into the glorious open plan living area you will be charmingly surprised at the space and high standard in front of you. The cosy sitting area, the large dining table and the superbly-equipped kitchen all lends itself to being the hub of your holiday home, where great times will be spent together catching up and planning days out after family meals. If you are looking for some quiet time, the wonderful bedrooms offer exquisite surroundings with comfortable beds, beautiful furnishings and the lovingly thought of extra touches will add to your delight in your room. With one en-suite, a 4-piece family bathroom and a cloakroom, a boot room/utility room with a separate sink as well as a most useful outside shower, the facilities are perfect for the larger family holiday. Set right next to a pathway access, within 50 yards of the world-famous coast path and a well-equipped childrens park, you can stroll directly from the cottage to play with the younger ones in your group or soak up scenic views and maybe walk to the sandy Poppit Sands beach. In the village you can see a working mill and enjoy locally made foods, visit the local produce market or venture a mile to Cardigan where its magnificent castle has been restored to its former glory, a shopping trip will be a treat with small unique shops, an antiques market and much more. Book a boat trip to spot dolphins or visit Castell Henllys Iron Age Fort or the Welsh Wildlife Centre. Whatever you do on your days out, you will be only too pleased to return to Rose Cottage, wash off any sand and gather round the table for a meal before sitting down to relax together.
The village of St Dogmaels situated at the mouth of the River Teifi offers a ruined abbey, a working watermill, pubs, a fish & chip shop, a deli and cafe. Nearby is Poppit Sands, the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path and Castell Henllys, an Iron Age Fort.

The house was well equipped and we enjoyed the welcome gifts (even the ones for the dogs). Ideally situated to visit New Quay, Tenby, Carmarthen to name a few towns we enjoyed all within a hours drive. Property was well stocked and exactly as described. Our only small issue was some of the cleanliness, the main shower we had to clean ourselves and there were lots of dust and cobwebs scattered about

We were so impressed with how clean and tidy the rooms were and how well-equipped the kitchen and place in general was. We all had a great time and we will definitely be returning. I must apologise for the later check out from us - that was a total mistake on our side. But I must say a huge thank you for being so accommodating as I do appreciate that the error was on our part. Thank you very much for a great stay.
