A visit to Cenarth Falls really is not to be missed and around a 5-minute drive, if timed well, you can see the salmon leaping up the falls which really is a fantastic sight. Nearby is the Welsh Wildlife Centre in Cilgerran, which runs along the banks of the River Teifi, made famous for coracle fishing.
Locally there is a host of beaches to discover with Aberporth, Poppit Sands and Mwnt beach all within a 30-minute drive and perfect for fishing, kayaking and canoeing. Take a walk along some of the 186 miles of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park footpath, just waiting to be enjoyed, and runs from Cardigan through to Amroth in the south.

Cottage was fantastic, had absolutely everything needed apart from internet and phone signal. Whilst it says it’s intermittent it’s actually non existent and you have no phone signal which is pretty dangerous as there is not even an landline in case of emergencies, Out of our 5 days we had internet for 2 hours maximumon the last night. The gentleman next door had internet so it’s not a remote area thing, It’s a massive shame as it is truly the only thing that lets this cottage down.

Beautiful and well kept cottage with good amenities. Felt really homely and we settled straight in. Good proximity to the coast and local beaches so an excellent base for the week.

What a beautiful property, it was beyond our expectation. Honestly had the best weekend which was definitely made better by the neighbour and dougie his dog! I will definitely be returning at some point and I've already recommended to family and friends. 10/10
