About this property
Just a few minutes' walk from the market town of Cardigan, this comfortable and welcoming cottage with private hot tub, is on a quiet lane. It’s ideal for exploring the two counties of Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire. Cardigan has a castle and theatre as well as an excellent range of individual shops, galleries, pubs and eateries. There is a lovely wildlife park on the Teifi marshes - the river Teifi flows through Cardigan, St Dogmaels and out to the sea at Poppit Sands.
There are plenty of beaches in the area such as Mwnt, Patch, Aberporth, Tresaith and Poppit.
If you enjoy walking why not try a section of the All Wales Coast Path and maybe even spot a dolphin.
Explore Aberporth, New Quay, Aberaeron and St Davids.
The bustling market town of Cardigan in Ceredigion is set on the River Teifi and offers an array of shops, both unique local producers and larger chain stores, as well as tea rooms, pubs, restaurants and an impressive ruined castle. Surrounding Cardigan is beautiful countryside, whilst the rugged Pembrokeshire coastline is just a few miles away. You have the opportunity to visit the Cardigan Island Farm Park, wonderful Blue Flag sandy beaches like the National Trust beach Mwnt, take a boat trip to spot dolphins and seals, or horse riding at the friendly Dyfed Riding Centre. For keen cyclists take a trip on the National Cycle Route, Number 82. The nearby Preseli Mountains offer wonderful walking and cycling, with some stunning views and an ancient stone monument. Within driving distance is the town of Carmarthen, Dylan Thomas' Boat House in Laugharne, Oakwood Theme Park, Blue Lagoon indoor waterpark, Folly Farm Zoo and the Welsh Wildlife Centre at Cilgerran, as well as an array of castles, mills and craft centres.

Lots of beautiful coastal walks with the dogs, enclosed and safe garden with beautiful views. Hot tub great to relax in after a long day walking, then perfect to relax by the fire! Highly recommend!

The wood burner was toasty, and a large dining table great for socialising. The beds were comfortable and we all slept well. The hot tub was a real treat - the weather was atrocious but we indulged anyway, bringing in the New Year in sleet and rain, and again on a brighter, frozen New years day. One of our highlights. We did need to pop out and buy loo roll immediately, and some welcoming coffee or tea would have been a great addition - especially when staying for just a couple of nights those essentials are a nice touch. Great location with shops around the corner, beaches close by, and a country feel.
