The views from the cottage are lovely with glimpses of the sea from the bedrooms and views across the fields to the hills from the rear. Borth is a traditional seaside town and forms part of the Dyfi Biosphere, the only unesco Biosphere Reserve in Wales. At low tide you are able to see the fascinating remains of an ancient submerged forest where stumps of oak, pine, birch, willow and hazel have been preserved by the peat that they have been buried in.
This is also a fabulous location for keen bird watchers with the Dovey Estuary being home to many wading birds, including the colourful shelduck with its bright green head. Just along the coast is Ynyslas with its nature reserve which has been a location for the BBC’s Springwatch programme and of course the Dyfi osprey visitor centre.
In easy walking distance of the cottage is Borth’s Animalarium, a rapidly expanding zoo, dedicated to conservation with endangered animals and birds and makes for a great family day out.
Easily accessible by road, rail or the stunning coastal path is Aberystwyth, famous for its promenade and the UK’s longest electric cliff railway dating back to the Victorian era. It takes you to the summit of Constitution Hill and offers the most magnificent views over Cardigan Bay and even the mountains of Snowdonia on a clear day. The town offers plenty of shops, cafés and restaurants and is also home to the little steam trains on the Vale of Rheidol Railway which takes you on a scenic journey to the famous Devil’s Bridge and waterfalls. This coastline has so many pretty and delightful seaside towns and villages. Visit New Quay, Aberaeron and Aberdovey with their myriad of visitor attractions and activities. Beach 50 yards. Shop, pub and restaurant 300 yards.

Lovely, comfortable cottage with sea views from both bedrooms. Lovely to be able to hear the sea from the house, too! Excellent location for exploring Borth itself- the beach, submerged forest, rock pools, etc. Just cross the road and there are plenty of little ‘snickets’ between the houses, that take you straight onto the beach! No car needed here - we arrived by train and travelled on the extremely reliable bus to Aberystwyth and Ynyslas a couple of times. The cottage itself just felt like home right away, had everything we needed and was lovely and clean throughout. The back garden is visited by lots of sparrows, and we even saw a red kite from the window. Stunning view of the hills and mountains and little church. We all had a lovely holiday and would definitely return to this cottage.

Great cottage with all amenities, very clean and tidy and soon became homely. On road parking is quite testing we were never able to get right in front of cottage, but there are usually spaces within a few hundred yards and a car park which was also quite busy about 4 properties away.
