About this property
This recently refurbished, Victorian house has upside down living to make the most of its views. Set in the village of St Dogmaels, it is a perfect retreat for four guests and a dog. Sitting on the banks of the river Teifi, St Dogmaels is a thriving community, with its working flour mill, pubs and cafes, local shops and award-winning, weekly local produce market, held under the Abbey ruins.
Lovely walks can be taken from the footpath which passes the house and the start of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path is at nearby Poppit Sands.
A five minute stroll will take you to the friendly riverside pub, public mooring and slipway.
The market town of Cardigan and its’ castle is about a mile and a half away, on the other side of the estuary. It also has a theatre and a good range of local shops and high street names, cafes, pubs, restaurants and galleries.
St Dogmaels is an ancient and tranquil village nestling peacefully around its ruined abbey at the mouth of the River Teifi on the totally unspoiled west Wales coast. One of its attractions is Y Felin, one of only two working watermills in Wales and retains the machinery installed in 1820. It is thought the mill was originally built by the monks of St Dogmaels' 12th century Abbey. The miller shows how the mill works and bread, flour and cakes can be purchased from the mill or you can enjoy tea and cakes and light lunches in the Coach House Café nearby. An award winning local produce market is held here every Tuesday and is well worth a visit. The village has a pub, a fish & chip shop, a Post Office, a cafe and a small museum at the abbey. There is also a pretty green and a millpond with ducks. Cardigan, a delightful ancient market town, is just over a mile away. This ancient town sits on the estuary of the River Teifi at the base of Cardigan Bay. Its unspoilt townscape and rich heritage provide a nostalgic backdrop to a thriving culture of arts and crafts, events and music festivals. Nearby is the wonderful Poppit Sands where you can relax on sunny days or enjoy invigorating walks in the cooler months, as well as exploring the beautiful Pembrokeshire Coast Path. St Dogmaels is the start or finish of the 186 mile Pembrokeshire Coast Path from St Dogmaels to Amroth. Visit Castell Henllys, the Iron Age Fort where everyone is encouraged to learn the ancient way of living, or visit the wonderful Shire Horse Farm to see how farming was before tractors. The Cardigan Bay dolphins can be seen off the bay on a regular basis and more active pursuits can be found at Cardigan Bay Active, including surfing, wildlife trips or coasteering. With scenic coastal, riverside and countryside walks and an array of other beaches and attractions all close by, this is a perfect holiday location all year round.
