About this property
Cardigan 4 miles. A very pretty detached cottage set next to the owner's home in wonderful open countryside, just four miles from the popular town of Cardigan. This charming cottage is located in a most peaceful setting and makes a wonderful retreat for anyone looking to get away from it all. With character beams, spacious living rooms and the added bonus of a conservatory, this is a lovely holiday home.

There is also the extra flexibility of a downstairs toilet leading off the porch at the rear entrance. Stairs lead up from the sitting room to two charming bedrooms, both with sloping ceilings, beams and quirky low windows, whilst the bathroom has a deep bath tub; ideal for soothing muscles after an energetic day spent discovering this fabulous region. Outside is an enclosed garden with lovely views over the fields plus on the owners' land are sheep, lambs, calves and a pony. Spend some time to discover a network of over 8 miles of walks and cycling routes directly from the doorstep through countryside lanes. Try your hand at horse riding at the local riding centre, visit one of the superb sandy beaches in the area or even walk some of the Wales Coast Path.

Fran was such a great host, the cottage itself was clean and had everything we needed. Very quiet and peaceful. Bird watching in the conservatory is a must and a fire in evening was perfect! Thanks for such a lovely time, we look forward to returning!

Itâs absolutely beautiful, charming cottage surrounded by sheep and birds. Peaceful lovely secure garden for our dogs. Everything you need is provided and Fran the owner kindly had the log fire lit so it was nice and warm on arrival also provided milk, cakes and flowers. A really thoughtful touch and very kind lady. Anything you need or information Fran is always happy to help. We found the cottage cozy comfortable and charming. We have already booked to return later in the year.

Dog friendly and all the walks you could possibly want. Short drive to Cardigan for shopping and Poppet sands for the beach. I highly recommend a visit to Newport beach - amazing for dogs. Out of season a lot of tea rooms etc are closed but it means that you can visit places in relative peace. Cenarth Falls is just a few miles away and is stunning. Fran is an excellent host and nothing is too much trouble. The cottage is clean, very warm and comfortable. See you next year!
