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. Nearby days out include the colourful seaside town of Aberaeron (7 miles) and the university town of Aberystwyth (11 miles).
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. Outside, the enclosed garden is a haven of tranquillity and is the perfect place for a sundowner or BBQ on a summer’s evening.
Llanrhystud has a long sand and shingle beach that boasts panoramic views of Cardigan Bay. Spend time here, enjoying a family picnic, playing beach games, and splashing in the sea.

Mrs Allen
This friendly family greeted us on arrival to hand over keys, they live locally so are on hand should you need help, but are not intrusive. The cottage is in a peaceful pretty location, with distant sea views and fabulous starry night skies. It is a charming old building well equipped with a modern kitchen and bathroom, spacious bedrooms and a lovely secluded south/west facing sunny garden and loads of safe parking. Within easy reach of several beaches and towns. A local shop, pub, and petrol station all within a few minutes drive. We met with the owners again to hand back the keys and they welcomed any suggestions on how to make the cottage even more appealing, although as it was pretty much perfect our ideas were very minor. Would definitely recommend staying here.

We had a wonderful stay at Maenllwyd and it was a pleasure dealing with Meleri and Rhodri. The cottage is clean, comfortable and functional in a pretty tucked away lane with beautiful surroundings. Close to Aberystwyth and some smaller sleepy villages - ideal for walking, cycling or mooching around.

Very lovely house and perfect for a family getaway. The owners were very friendly and left some welcome gifts, including eggs from their farm, which was a really nice gesture. The garden was secure and the kids spent hours playing there. We could find no faults with the property and would love to stay again.
