Woodpecker Rest is nestled on the edge of the quaint hamlet of Llechryd surrounded by woodland and set within the owners’ beautiful grounds with a walled garden, well-manicured lawns and an ornamental pond. This semi-detached cottage is aptly named after the family of woodpeckers that frequent the garden. The property offers a modern, contemporary, galley-style kitchen complete with beams, which leads through to the bright and airy open-plan living/dining room. The first floor master bedroom has been lovingly furnished complete with en-suite facilities. On a morning, enjoy a freshly brewed coffee in the spacious sun room or a G&T on an evening to watch the birds.
A short walk away and you can be enjoying some home locally brewed ales from the village pub in Llechryd. Travelling 5 minutes north and you can discover the historic market town of Cardigan with its castle dating back to the late 11th century, with commanding views along the river and out towards the Cardigan Bay. Here you can find an excellent choice of eateries including the Michelin accredited Yr Hen Printworks and the always popular cafe Crwst. Poppit Sands is just around the corner complete with a golden sandy beach, perfect for building sandcastles, kayaking or surfing. A little further along the coastline is Newport Sands and Mwnt Beach, which really are worth the visit and spectacular to visit all year round.
Locally, a visit to Cenarth Falls really is not to be missed and 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. A great day out for all is the walled town of Tenby, complete with beach, cobbled streets and a host of eateries and craft shops. Folly Farm Zoo and Oakwood theme park are all within a 45-minute drive. Beach 4 miles. Shop, garage, pub and chip shop 0.75 miles.

Had a fantastic stay in a truly lovely cottage. John met us on arrival and gave us a talk through (along with some general chit chat from a fellow Bristolian couldn't be better.Stayed in a couple of days due to inclement weather but it was so very cosy looking out at the bad weather in the comfort of the cottage.The cottage had absolutely everything that was needed (without doubt the best equipped kitchen we have ever had in a property) and was very comfortable/warm. Would 100% recommend to anyone. Thank you John and your wife.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful setting, surrounded by trees and open countryside at the rear. Hosts are extremely welcoming and friendly. The cottage itself is beautifully done, comfortable and clean, with every amenity. The village of Llechryd has everything you need and is close to Cardigan. Perfect base for exploring and relaxing at the end of the day. Would definitely recommend and we will be returning 😊
