Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the apartment to be clean and tidy, with only one mention of the bathroom needing attention. The positive remarks on cleanliness from several reviews suggest a high standard is typically maintained.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the beach and town centre, with easy access to coastal paths and local amenities. The scenic views and quiet area contribute to its excellent rating.
Guests describe the apartment as comfortable, with good-sized bedrooms and a cosy atmosphere. However, some noise from neighbours and the property's policy on dogs slightly impacted the comfort for a few guests.
The facilities are generally well-received, with mentions of new appliances and furniture. Some guests noted the lack of smaller saucepans, a bottle opener, and a washing machine, indicating room for improvement.
Guests were touched by the welcome packs and the hosts' responsiveness, which added to their positive experience. It is politely noted that such gestures, while appreciated, may not be guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Positioned just a pebble's throw from the dog-friendly beach, with views across Cardigan Bay, along the west coast of Wales, is Cwtsh Cragen. Take a boat trip to catch glimpses of the dolphins inhabiting the bay, weather permitting, as birds fly overhead. This dog-friendly ground-floor apartment is styled with a contemporary feel throughout, ideal for couples or for a family of four, plus their two canine companions, looking to escape everyday life and indulge a relaxing seaside escape. Step straight into the well-equipped kitchen/diner, which boasts a wonderful outlook from the front window to the blue horizon beyond. There is a nicely appointed kitchen with all the appliances you could need to whip up delicious meals for your loved ones, ready to enjoy over a celebratory bottle of fizz. Next, the lounge offers a relaxing space to curl up in front of the TV before retiring to the bright double bedroom, displaying a coastal theme, or a charming twin bedroom, both of which offer plenty of storage for your belongings. The bathroom plays host to a bath with shower over, with a slate grey, tiled finish, perfect for relaxing soaks or freshening up after hiking along the Ceredigion Coastal Path. Outside you have your very own allocated parking space and a shared, open lawn area at the front overlooking the water. Stroll to the beach along the path leading from the cottage and bask on golden sands with a cool sea breeze. Tide dependent, you can walk right into the town from the beach to find a variety of shops, tea rooms and pubs serving delicious food and drinks. Don't forget to take your camera for the perfect snapshot of some rare wildlife. You can try many water sports in season and there are plenty of walking and cycling routes in the area. Aberaeron is a thriving harbour town close by, with more amenities and scenery to explore and Devil's Bridge Falls, a renowned attraction in Mid-Wales. Make the most of the relaxing atmosphere, beautiful beaches and nature trails and secure your stay at Cwtsh Cragen.
It's simple to see why this gorgeous seaside town is one of the most popular year-round vacation destinations when you take a stroll down the seafront and take in the stunning vistas. With a wide variety of stores and eateries to choose from and boat cruises to take to see the unusual creatures that call this sheltered harbour home, there's no shortage of things to do while you're here. What about sailing, kayaking, windsurfing, and powerboats with expert instruction for the more adventurous members of your group? Many of Dylan Thomas' most renowned compositions, including "Quite Early One Morning," were penned at New Quay, and the town has designated a "Dylan Thomas Trail." Aberaeron, a vibrant Georgian port town with multi-colored houses and a wide variety of restaurants and inns, is just seven miles distant. The Devil's Bridge area of Wales is famed for its three bridges, narrow gauge steam railway, and flowing waterfalls, making it one of the most beautiful places in the world to visit. It's the ideal location for year-round vacations.

Its position inside Quay West holiday camp allowed us to use some of the facilities provided on the camp (shop & takeaways). It is in a great place for walks on the beach and to the town. The only downside is that it is very hilly and would not be good for someone with mobility problems. Overall a very good place to stay we really enjoyed it.

Easy access to beach and only a short walk to New Quay with plenty of shops and restaurants would definitely stay here again

The accommodation isnât luxury but provided everything we needed for a weekâs stay with our 6 month old baby and dog. We loved seeing the sea from the kitchen window, and being only a few minutes walk to the beach for runs and walks. New Quay a short walk away along the coastal path (or main road, or beach at low tide) for coffee or fish and chips. Didnât hear the neighbours at all. Warm. Comfy bed. Parking space. Very helpful host provided her contact details for if we needed anything. Thanks again, we hope to be back.
