Tucked away in the quiet village of Llanfarian – just three miles from Aberystwyth – this cosy cottage is the perfect setting for your next family getaway to rural Wales. Boasting a beautiful front garden, bubbling hot tub, and toasty wood burner, this place is ideal for switching off from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Put your feet up in the snug or cross the heated floor to the fully equipped kitchen where you’ll find everything you need to rustle up a delicious, home-cooked feast for you and your fellow guests. Then, when it’s time to eat, gather everyone around the dining table or head outside for an al fresco feast on the gorgeous front lawn. We could easily spend all day unwinding here, but if you fancy getting out and about, the Ystwyth bike trail is right on your doorstep, so why not make the most of it? Follow the track of the old Great Western Railway line into Tregaron, then reward yourself with a well-deserved pint from one of the local pubs. And if cycling’s not your thing, Aberystwyth’s just ten minutes away by car and is teeming with exciting attractions that are sure to delight... adults and youngsters alike.
