Picture yourself sitting on a sandy beach overlooking Cardigan Bay watching dolphins, cycling down country lanes, walking in the hills, or just strolling through one of many market towns. You can escape life’s hustle and bustle, and enjoy this region in so many ways. It’s the perfect location to book a family holiday for a short break or a longer stay.
You can discover clean sandy beaches with clear waters, caves, waterfalls, wild rugged cliffs and so much more. If you are bringing your pet on holiday, many of the beaches are dog friendly all year round. There are fabulous coastal walks across the headlands to secret coves rarely visited except by birds and the ghosts of ancient smugglers. The pretty coastal towns of New Quay and Aberaeron are well worth exploring, and offer quaint shops and a wide choice of cafés and restaurants. Sit on a harbour wall and drink in the atmosphere whilst enjoying a local honey ice cream or fish and chips!
The dignified, Victorian resort of Aberystwyth, with its electric cliff railway, promenade and pier, is close by, as are the compelling Cambrian Mountains, a ‘wild Wales’ of hill sheep farms, forest and lakelands. Take a stately meandering train ride on what was once a working link between local lead mines and the harbour. The Vale of Rheidol Railway now runs a steam train service through the Rheidol Valley terminating at Devil’s Bridge, and from here you can choose to go and see the three bridges over the river, or visit other attractions such as the famous Mynach Falls, Devil’s Punch Bowl and Jacob’s Ladder.
When you have returned to Pengraig after days out exploring, you can enjoy the tranquil location and children will appreciate the shared play area with toys. Beach 1 mile. Shop 2 miles, pub and restaurant 3 miles.

A relaxing, away from it all place to stay. We did have difficulty finding it and there needs to be a sign board at the end of the track. Several light bulbs were missing. . I t was a no frills cottage and unlike many others in which we have stayed there was no welcome pack.However we did enjoy our stay there.

Being a country person, this location is out in the countryside with no local amenities and no traffic, which suited us for our stay. It is a 10mins drive (through single track lanes) to local shopping/pubs so easy to get to if need something. The cottage was delightful and purposeful for our stay with an elderly person included in the group so the ground floor bedroom ensuite is ideal. The property needs some attention externally particularly on the veranda decking area as few spindles on the balustrade were missing - not ideal if you have a dog or young children - also not to lean out over the railings as could be unsafe due to rotted timberwork in base of rails. Internally, the property was spacious, delightful with ensuite bedrooms so no queing for bathroom and the beds were comfortable. Ideally, a small welcome pack of tea/coffee or basic culinary items be provided would be nice, and a dog bowl for water. All in all we enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back as it suited us for our stay.

Pleasant cottage in a lovely location, with a short walk to cliffs overlooking the sea. Very spacious and clean. I visited two of the recommended pubs, mentioned in the welcome folder, both were very nice and deserved repeat visits; yummy! I did have trouble working the shower, so had a bath. If I could make a couple of recommendations, as someone who did a bit of walking, what I would have liked is a small porch over the front door to put my boots, rather than keep going to & from the car, also some coat hangers near the front door would be nice. When I was at the cottage, and as I had a dog with me, I spent my time in the kitchen or on the decking, so did not use the living room facilities (where the dog could not go). I look forward to returning to 5 Pengraig Draw and exploring more of the area. Thank you owners for a lovely cottage.
