Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 4 - Aberystwyth, Perth and Kinross

If you're looking for a peaceful location for a scenic Welsh trip, this holiday home offers the perfect setting. It's around 2 miles from the quaint village of Llanilar, where you'll find a village shop, bar and restaurant, and 6 miles from the popular coastal town of Aberystwyth. From your doorstep, you'll be able to access the surrounding countryside and wonderful woodland walks, where you can keep an eye out for local birdlife as you drink up your serene surroundings.

With two bedrooms, this charming property is wonderful for a family trip or two couples holidaying together, and two dogs are also welcome. As you enter this pretty stone construction, you'll be struck by how light and airy it feels inside, thanks to white walls, accents in light-coloured wood and a contemporary refurb. The open-plan living area is excellent for relaxing together in the evenings.

In the comfortable lounge area, you'll have ample seating, a Smart TV and a wood burner to keep you toasty on those chilly Welsh nights. Meanwhile, in the well-equipped kitchen, you can cook up yummy dinners to enjoy at the circular dining table. A lovely enclosed garden at the front, featuring a gravel area, a patch of lawn and a patio table for al fresco dining, is a pleasant spot for relaxation in good weather.

Nearby, cyclists and walkers will be keen to join the Ystwyth Trail (1.5 miles), a 21-mile route linking Aberystwyth and Tregaron (11.5 miles) that partly follows the old Great Western Railway line. Aberystwyth has so much to offer visitors, whether you fancy picnicking on its lovely North Beach, a round of golf, a trip up the cliff railway or a slap-up meal in one of many fantastic eateries. The Parc Penglais Nature Reserve is another place for walking, while birdwatchers will make a beeline for the RSPB Nature Reserve at Ynys-hir (17.5 miles).
