Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 7 - Llandysul, Ceredigion

Lose yourself in stunning views across the wild West Wales countryside from the hot tub and almost every window of this lovingly restored former farmhouse; the perfect, peaceful retreat ideal for families or groups of friends, just a stone's throw from the picturesque Cardigan coastline. Retaining the period charm of the original farmhouse, featuring exposed stone walls and beams, the lounge offers a glimpse into times past, with the roaring wood burner setting the scene for pure relaxation. Reminiscent of a traditional country cottage, the blend of rustic charm with contemporary touches in the kitchen/diner will inspire you to get creative with your fabulous local flavours.

Flooded with plenty of sunlight, the stunning, oak-framed conservatory is the perfect spot to plan tomorrow's adventure, while the games room offers an escape for children to let off some steam. There are four bedrooms on offer upstairs, one en-suite king-suite, one double, one twin and one single, all of which feature wonderful views to wake up to. From sunrise to sunset, the patio is a haven of tranquillity; make the most of your stunning surroundings by dining alfresco with a glass of something chilled or slipping into the hot tub.

This beautiful, rural setting overlooking rural West Wales is a paradise for keen walkers and nature lovers, with a host of wonderful trails that can be explored on foot or two wheels beginning within the surrounding area. Nearby New Quay (8 miles) offers access to the idyllic Pembrokeshire Coast Path and wonderful boat trips from the harbour to spot glimpses of the resident bottlenose dolphins. For a traditional bucket-and-spade day at the seaside, the breathtaking beaches of Penbryn, Llangrannog and Aberaeron lining the idyllic Cardigan Bay coastline can all be reached within 10.5 miles.
