. Perfect for a large family gathering or celebration, Oswald House offers spacious and stylish accommodation for a splendid holiday. The vast kitchen and dining space is the social hub of the home and large bi-fold doors open up onto the outside space with a superb hot tub and barbecue; the ideal spot for relaxing in after a busy day sightseeing. Situated in the village of Llanon with a pub and shops within walking distance, this holiday home is the perfect base for immersing yourself in all that the area has to offer. With a superb mix of coast and countryside, Ceredigion is a large and beautiful place to visit. Award-winning beaches, perfect coves, iconic castles and pretty harbours make days out by car or on foot along the 60 miles of Heritage coastline a must. This region inspired Dylan Thomas to write some of his finest poetry. It is framed by the Cambrian Mountains, known as the backbone of Wales, and is so rich in wildlife, legends and fascinating landscapes. Look out for birds of prey such as red kites and buzzards soaring high above, and dolphins or seals in the waters. Drive along the Plynlimon Mountains, through the Tywi Forest or visit the impressive Abergwesyn Pass, and marvel at the solitude.
For a truly authentic Welsh family holiday experience, this is the area to be. The locals are justifiably proud of this region with its rich local folklore which tells of tricking the devil, mermaids, shipwrecked kings and princesses, and even an explanation of why gulls sound as if they’re crying. The little gems of Georgian Aberaeron, historic Cardigan, salty New Quay, traditional Tregaron and Lampeter are waiting to be explored. To the south, the coves of Mwnt, Cwmtydu, Penbryn, Tresaith – which resemble illustrations from books about pirates, are all within easy reach. To the north, around Aberystwyth and Borth, there are vast stretches of sand. Food plays a big part in the experience of Ceredigion, and a wide choice is to be found in the shops, restaurants and cafés offering regional products and ingredients such as the world beating Teifi Valley cheeses, the ubiquitous Welsh cakes, bara brith and of course, some spectacularly good seafood from the coast.
No visit to the area would be complete without a ride on the steam railway. From the coast at Aberystwyth, watch the scenery change whilst travelling through ancient woodland and rugged mountain scenery, with the line clinging to the hillside to reach Devil’s Bridge, home of the famous Mynach Falls and Devil’s Punchbowl. Come and escape to this magnificent area and let Oswald House be your home for a holiday to remember!

Oswald House is an amazing property. Set back off the main road through Llanon village, this deceptively spacious property was perfect for our family of 10 plus 2 dogs. The property sleeps 12 but there is so much space you never felt crowded. There are 6 bedrooms three of which are twin rooms so perfect for families with young people who don't always want to share a double bed. There were 3 bathroom/shower rooms plus an ensuite so no queuing to use the facilities. The kitchen was well equipped, an airfryer would have been beneficial, just our preference as we have teens who like to cook for themselves, but there was everything we needed to cook for our group and a fabulous dinning table where we all managed to sit together for those rare family meals. The children, all teenagers bar one, loved the games room at the back of the garden, which meant the adults had plenty of peace and quiet to use the hot tub or just relax. Although we didn't get to use the garden as much as we would have liked, there was plenty of seating available. The garden steps are fairly steep so care is needed when using them. We had two dogs with us, the garden is totally secure and spacious enough for them to have an explore outside. The house is close to a village store, the Swan Inn where the food was amazing and the portions even more so and the most amazing fish and chip shop, Sglods, the food was freshly cooked and again very generous portions. They only take cash though. Llanon beach is a short 10 minute walk away but be warned it is very rocky, rather than pebbled. There are a number of footpaths to take, we found the path passes the pretty church took us to a sandy stretch when the sea was at low tide, this gave the dogs a better run. You can drive 15/20 minutes towards New Quay you will find Cie Bach Beach which is also dog friendly and stunning, with long strtches of golden sand at low tide. It is quite popular so can be busy and parking is very limited but worth a visit if you have young children or dogs who love to run.Andrea, one of the owners met our first arrivals and explained where everything was, and explained how to get to the beach etc, so great first impression. Andrea also came in each day to check on the hot tub which was good. Her visits were very discreet and did not disturb our holiday at all. We had a great holiday, were very impressed with the house and will definitely be booking again

We've had an amazing time at Oswald House. We were a group of 10 people (X2 families) who holiday together every year and as the children have grown into young adults - this was ideal.The only thing that I would recommend is to bring large cooking pots as fortunately we do and cooking for so many people, there wasn't to adequate pots & pans, otherwise this accommodation was amazing.The local butchers is highly recommended as it the local shop - it's a little treasure trove with an amazing range.Thanks Andrea, it's been amazing and we've thoroughly enjoyed it here 😃
