“On the plus side.”

.. No 2 Water street is a nice house , well appointed and with good sized rooms (third bedroom aside). great location for shops , pubs and restaurants. On the down side... Parking can be a bit of a problem, we went out of season and it was still tricky. No ground floor toilet and the third bedroom is tiny and very limited outside space. Overall It proved to be a very nice stay for just the two of us and would be ideal for a small family or two couples. good value for money.

“We really loved this house for its stylish simplicity.”

It has plenty of space and has been thoughtfully furnished, and without the clutter that you sometimes find in other properties. Everything was clean and well maintained. In a great location close to everything in the town. A perfect holiday house!

“Lovely property in a great location.”

Short walking distance to all amenities. Comfortable lounge for the evenings. Comfortable beds. Only problem I had were pillows too high and hard for me. Had to buy softer pillows. Maybe a range of pillows would help but that's personal preference. Had a great holiday and would recommend this property Thank you

Timothy August 2023

“Lovely house in a great location.”

Very convenient for shops, restaurants, harbour and beach yet on a quiet side street. Very well equipped except missing a few kitchen utensils. Was unable to connect smart TV to WiFi. Would happily stay again. Highly recommend the Moody Cow restaurant 5 minute drive south on the coast road.

“This was our 2nd visit to Water Street & it won’t be our last!”

Karen July 2023

“A beautifully renovated cottage, wonderfully decorated and furnished, and in a wonderful location.”

The family bathroom was amazing. Our only criticism overall was the lack of kitchen utensils/pans etc. It was a fantastic kitchen but as a self catering holiday there was hardly any cooking utensils (1 spoon and 1 spatula). The was nothing to take things from the oven or the grill ( no pot towel or oven gloves) and only a single knife and fork per guest. Great for people who eat out all the time but not practical for families using it as a self catering cottage. That aside, we would definitely recommend this holiday cottage to anyone interested in a lovely holiday in Wales.

“We had a fantastic week at Water Street.”

Perfect location. The cottage itself is fabulous. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The owner sent a lovely welcome message on arrival, and sorted out a very minor issue within a couple of hours. So, highly recommended place in a great location with a superb host. Thank you!!

Jane April 2023

“Lovely house and village.”

We had a wonderful stay. The only suggestion we could make is that if there had been a second set of crockery and cutlery, we could have used the dishwasher less often.

Sandra May 2022

“What a lovely find!”

The property is situated just off the main street and is perfect for vsiitng the shops, restaurants and harbourside. The inside is perfectly presented; stylish, well-equipped and very clean. The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms are roomy, with great showers! There is no parking but while we were there (mid May) we were able to park in the street outside the property most of the time. Other times we parked elsewhere. There is plenty of parking in the area, so it wasn't a problem at all. Overall, no complaints at all!

“2 Water St is a great place to stay.”

Very conveniently located in the centre of Aberaeron close to all shops, cafes & restaurants yet in a very quiet road. Fabulously comfortable house with all mod cons & everything you need for a relaxing holiday right near the sea with plenty of interesting places to visit nearby

Hayley July 2021

“Overall, a fantastic holiday!”

The holiday house was lovely, very spacious and in a great location for exploring the surrounding areas. The shower was particularly impressive! A lovely house to return to after being out for the day, very relaxing and cosy. Parking was a bit of a nightmare due to close proximity to the high street and lack of designated parking (we were aware of this prior to the holiday though). We did have to wipe some of the surfaces down on arrival as they were quite dusty. However, this didn't affect the enjoyment of our stay. Would definitely recommend!

- Hayley, July 2021
Amy October 2020

“We done a last minute break away, it was because our main holiday got cancelled due to COVID-19.”

. We contacted sykes on the day, they contacted owner and we were able to stay for the 3 night mid week break.. Beautiful place, blew away our expectations.. Definitely go back and recommend..

- Amy, October 2020
Anna July 2020

“Walking in to such a beautiful, up to date cottage with high quality appliances was just a joy.”

I had the biggest bathroom and such a lovely bedroom and we all relaxed from the minute we walked in. .

Christine December 2019

“Property very inviting, very tastefully decorated and refurbished.”

Close to all amenities with just a few minutes walk to shops, pubs and restaurants. The sea front is close too, as is the river walk. We met with the owner on arrival and she was welcoming and available for contact if necessary. The quality of appliances, furniture and utensils is of a high standard. I would recommended this holiday home to anyone wishing to take a break in Aberaeron.

“A perfect resthouse for tree hard working guys.”

Diane October 2019

“A lovely house you knew it was going to be homely as soon as you walked through the door.”

Spotlessly clean. Decor and furnishings top notch. Would have loved to use the log burner but didn't need to as the house was always warm and cosy. Good location. Would definitely return.

- Diane, October 2019
Ian September 2019

“The standard of this cottage was extremely high, every single item from cups, and kitchen equipment through to settees and beds was of the highest quality.”

It has obviously been renovated recently and the owners have made a wonderful job providing a faultless cottage. The kitchen and the bathroom are in particular, excellent. The outside area is small, and not very inviting but that it not important when the cottage is so well placed for the harbour, the sea front or the riverside. Overall a fantastic cottage in a most wonderful place.

- Ian, September 2019
Anne August 2019

“Beautiful house, tastefully decorated and with all mod cons.”

Very comfortable from the couches in the lounge to the beds in the bedroom. Near to main high street for nice walks,shops and restaurants. Parking can be a pain don't expect to park outside in high season!

- Anne, August 2019
Sue August 2019

“We had a lovely week at the Water Street cottage.”

The cottage was very comfortable and had an excellent kitchen which was fully equipped. The bedrooms were lovely and the main bathroom was enormous with a lovely deep bath and great shower. The cottage is only a 2 minute walk to the harbour area,shops and restaurants. It was not an issue that the cottage doesn’t have any parking we always managed to find free parking close by in adjacent streets despite the town being very busy. Can highly recommend the property.

- Sue, August 2019
Darren July 2019

We plan another holiday at the end of August and will use the discount on our next break. Thank You again

Gareth June 2019

“An excellent cottage decorated outside in the traditional way of the rest of the town It was well equipped but would have benefited from instruction for heating and kitchen equipment.”

Also there was a lack of draw space in the bedrooms.A visitors book with suggestions on where to eat and places to visitwould be a good idea none of this spoilt our holiday

- Gareth, June 2019
Heather June 2019

“Parking dreadful, nothing to say about where to put rubbish or recycling.”

Small bedroom had nothing to put clothing in.

Philippa September 2018

“Very comfortable house in a great location.”

The owners have put a lot of thought and effort into making the holiday special. Good base to explore, with plenty to do even out of season. Locals friendly. Would especially recommend the coastal paths and local restaurants.

Jeffrey August 2018

“Really enjoy our first holiday in a cottage,it was home from home and spotless.”

Plenty of shops,sight to see and lots of lovely walks.Fantastic location for a holiday. People nearby were friendly and helpful as well.Would highly recommend it.

- Jeffrey, August 2018
Anne August 2018

“The description on the website was a bit over the top and inaccurate and this was pointed out to the sales advisor(online chat).”

It is still incorrect (8/9/18) The number and size of beds in the description is not correct. Eg "Sumptuous King Size " and "twin room" when in fact both had the same size double bed. This is not to detract from the house itself - it exceeded our expectations! The house itself was very comfortable, newly refurbished and had all the facilities we needed. The upstairs was very comfortable with thick carpets, modern bathrooms and plenty of towels. The kitchen was well equipped with modern appliances and things like dishwasher tablets and cleaning products provided which is not always the case. The owner was very helpful. The location was perfect - we could walk into Aberaeron within a few minutes where we could find shops, cafes, restaurants and the harbour. There was also a quiet riverside walk in the other direction, and two parks within walking distance nearby with childens' play equipment, Parking wasn't a problem as the road was fairly quiet.

- Anne, August 2018
Vicky August 2018

“Great location in the town, with lovely riverside walk to the shops, harbour and pretty town.”

The house was roomy, everything was perfect, brand new and completed to top specification. Friendly welcoming hosts who provide extra details such as tea,coffee, biscuits, lots of gorgeous towels, dishwasher tablets etc. We had an amazing stay and couldn't fault it!!

About the location

ABERAERON

Lampeter 13 miles; Aberystwyth 16 miles.

A pretty Georgian coastal town located between Cardigan and Aberystwyth with a lovely pebble beach and beautiful sea views. There is an abundance of shops with unusual gifts, great eating places and pubs, and a quiet little harbour to enjoy watching the boats come and go. Aberaeron is perfectly positioned to enjoy boat trips and watersports, or coastal and countryside walks and cycle rides. Short drives to Cardigan to the south, or Aberystwyth to the north offer more shops, craft centres, museums and cinema or theatre visits. A wonderful Mid Wales location all year round.

Please note this property is not suitable for infants under 4 years old.
