“We've had a few holidays with Sykes and this has been the best so far.”

The house was everything we needed and more. Spacious and cosy. Everything we needed in the kitchen was there. Fabulous to have a dishwasher and washing machine. Beds were comfy and bedrooms decorated tastefully. Instructions for everything were clear. The location was fab for walking, beaches for our dogs and the pub Mason's Arms was great. Excellent property. Brilliant holiday, Thankyou so much x

“Teifi House is a beautiful cottage in a very peaceful area sitting just above the river.”

We had nothing but bird song during our stay and although the public carpark at the bottom can get busy with people doing various water sports you really aren’t disturbed by any noise at all. It’s a lovely place actually to take a picnic down to and sit by the river and a short walk up to the castle. The cottage upon arrival was very clean and tidy and was exactly as described. Yes it could possibly do with updating decor wise upstairs but it didn’t let us down in anyway and we were perfectly comfortable. 2 dining tables to chose from, comfy living room, nice beds, clean linen and plenty of room for the 5 of us. There was everything we could have possibly needed provided in the cottage and even towels left out for us which was amazing. Plenty of room on the drive for our vehicles and a lovely stone bench and table out the front to have a coffee on. The only possible negative we had was it took forever to cook anything in the oven! It just didn’t seem to get going quickly and then took ages to cook the food. However, that may be because we’re used to quicker appliances so we just started cooking a lot earlier than we usually would and allowed a lot longer for the oven to get up to temperature. The big plus in the area is the local little shop at the top of the hill which stocked everything you could possibly need and was very eco friendly. Very friendly staff too. We enjoyed the area, the cottage and our weeks stay very much and we would definitely book again.

“Cottage was beautifully presented, with everything you could need.”

Slow cooker was great, 2 outside sitting areas overlooking the river. comfortable beds and furniture. Wifi sketchy but fine if you reset. Thoroughly recommend

“On first arrival the property seemed a little old fashioned.”

But it was very clean, very comfortable and very well situated for visiting the surroundings attractions. Beds were comfortable and the shower was hot and powerful. Only complaint is that the second bathroom didn't have a shower. We had a very pleasant stay.

Sally March 2024

“We had a lovely stay at Teifi house.”

It has wonderful walks starting at your door step. We met the house keeper who was so friendly, polite and a lovely person. The house was clean and tidy with a wonderful log burner. We had a problem with the shower but this didn't spoil our stay and we will definitely be going back to Teifi house again.

Kenneth December 2023

“Wonderful pre Christmas stay for our wedding anniversary.”

Such a beautiful area and a great house with brilliant facilities. Our family and the dogs really loved it, superb walks and beaches all close by. Just walking the river in front of the house was great. I have to say that the village is the friendliest place I think I've ever been to. Everyone we met was lovely. Huge thanks to the housekeeper and the owners who sorted out the heating for us when the pilot light out went due to some extreme weather.

Sian October 2023

“We had a wonderful week,exploring Wales from Tefie House.”

It was so easy to book. Beautiful views from front of property across the river. Property was warm and welcoming, we have a small dog which could squeeze through large wooden gates at front, so we took gate guards with us, which solved the problem. The only problem we had was the TV, there were 4 remote controls, TV instruction was under the coffee table, but still struggled to get TV channels on it. But after being out in Welsh air we were happy to watch a bit of Netflix before bed. Lovely big family sized house. Also had a lovely email when arriving home, thanking us for leaving the property clean. Going back to the TV, in all fairness, we had a phone no to ring if there was any problems. Many thanks .

- Sian, October 2023
Nathan October 2023

“Immaculately presented cottage, very well equipped and comfortable.”

Beautiful setting allowing you views of the river while sat in bed drinking a cup of tea. Highly recommended.

- Nathan, October 2023
Maureen September 2023

“Apart from lack of toilet rolls and some towels missing in one of the double bedrooms, we were very happy with Teifi House.”

It's the second time we've been there and will quite likely come again. It's a lovely area for walks.

- Maureen, September 2023
Lynne August 2023

“We are a family of 5 adults and a dog and Teifi House was perfect for us.”

I would highly recommend staying here. It’s a beautiful setting. It is a good size and has comfortable sofas and a choice of 2 tables to eat at. The location is great with the river a minute walk away. The owner was very responsive and helpful. It was warm and comfortable and the wood burner was a bonus on one chilly evening when sitting chatting around it made for a special night. It is clean and comfortable, but still homely. The shower is fantastic. The 2 bathrooms are well equipped, although it would have been good to have a shower over the bath. The garden is a nice place to sit. Like most holiday homes, we couldn’t let the dog off the lead in there as she could escape through the gate or over the low wall. With riverside walks so close this wasn’t a big problem. Although generally very well equipped ( good choice of pans and oven trays) the kitchen would benefit from the knives being sharpened and a new tin opener. A bigger mat by the patio doors would be good as the outside mat collects water meaning you step in with wet feet and there isn’t space for 5 people to come in onto the mat and take their shoes off, meaning the kitchen floor inevitability gets wet and muddy. Not a big issue but easy solved with a bigger mat inside or a non absorbent one outside. These are all small issues but would make a a great holiday even better. Overall the perfect base for a holiday in this wonderful part of Wales.

Rosemarie April 2023

“Our holiday didn’t go to plan and we didn’t have a family member or dogs with us .”

However loved the location cleanliness and cottage was well equipped. Only comment would be outside could do with a bit of work ie repainting to resemble picture on site . However this did not adversely affect our stay and enjoyed it so much we n B poked again for September hopefully with family member and dogs. I was a little apprehensive after reading a negative review but my fears proved unfounded

Tracey March 2023

“The property had everything we needed for a weeks stay, it was clean, tidy, comfortable and warm.”

Very spacious main bedroom with ensuite. Only slight negative, (hence the 9 stars) which owners can do nothing about, is the hill which is very steep which may be difficult for some to walk up/down.

The cottage was in very poor condition the toilet was broke and was supposed to be fixed while we were there but it wasn't,the electrics kept not working on the landing which made it very dark going up the stairs,the spindles kept falling of the kitchen chair every time we moved it,we opened 1 of the kitchen cupboards and the hinge came of,in all the cottage is in poor condition and sykes obviously have lowered there standards of the cottages on there books,we will not be booking this cottage or with sykes again

- Neil, March 2023

Thank you for the feedback. We are sorry the downstairs toilet broke. We are lucky the house has two other toilets. The electrics are annually checked and I've turned the dimmer switch up to full. The Kitchen cupboard hinge has been fixed. We manged to clean up all your dogs wee in the kitchen and lounge and thank you for your contribution to the cost, which may or may not have influenced your review. Property Owner
Susanne November 2022

“Lovely cottage and setting.”

A couple of niggles though: The toilet seat in the family bathroom was very loose and so unusable. The TV was a problem. There was no satellite signal so only streaming services available. There was poor WiFi connection to the TV.

- Susanne, November 2022
Chris November 2022

“Lovely property, in a great location for us, just 2 minutes from the riverside walks and a short drive to Cardigan.”

I had trouble getting onto the Freeview so only used the TV through the wifi which all worked well. It just limited my viewing options a bit. Sadly, someone had forgotten to leave me any logs, maybe because I was having a short break, but they were available locally. The shower was fab! Hot and powerful, always a blessing in rentals!.

- Chris, November 2022
Maureen October 2022

“We very much enjoyed the holiday and thought that the property was excellent.”

Can't find fault with it. Clean, warm and dry, plenty of room, enough hot water, comfortable settees. Will probably book again in the future.

- Maureen, October 2022
Wendy September 2022

“A very well equipped cottage.”

Lovely and warm with plenty of hot water too. Well situated for exploring the local area and walks along the river a minute away. The village shop is fabulous-well stocked with proper food not just the usual tinned and processed items. Two pubs in the village ( one had just reopened).

- Wendy, September 2022
Diana August 2022

“Excellent well equipped spacious accommodation .”

Had a water leak on arrival contacted owners it was fixed within the hour couldn't have asked for better.

Cottage was really great, comfortable and a beautiful location Only slight criticism would be to update the description of the village as there is now only one pub and it didn’t do bar food

- Paul, July 2022
Joe May 2022

“Lovely comfortable cottage in a great location with really nice views.”

Perfect riverside walks! We canooed to Cardigan and paddleboarded from the picnic area at the bottom of the hill. Highly recommend Tiefi House and its location for peace and quiet or activities.

- Joe, May 2022
Nicola April 2022

“The cottage is in a stunning location, perfect for canoeing and walking with so much wildlife on the doorstep.”

The cottage is spacious and comfortable with all the facilities you need for your stay.

- Nicola, April 2022
Sharon February 2022

“Spacious, clean accommodation in a nice location.”

Slight problem in a bathroom but that was dealt with efficiently and as soon as was possible. Disappointed in lack of information provided. Instructions for TV wasn’t easy to follow and didn’t correspond with equipment. No information on area and listing hadn’t been updated regarding the three pubs in the village were closed. It would have been nice to have information regarding local attractions and recommended places to eat. No visitor book.

- Sharon, February 2022
Michelle Nicola February 2022

“Excellent property in a beautiful location.”

We loved how cosy but nice a big the property was. It had everything we needed. The only issue was the TV was complicated, and Netflix and Prime were logged into previous guests. The signal went at times when trying to watch TV. Although this was a small issue and everything else was spot on. Nice and warm, clean, lovely log burner. Very quiet, relaxing stay. We will be back.

- Debra, September 2021
Howard July 2021

“Lovely cottage in a fabulous location overlooking the river.”

The delightful and well-provisioned corner shop is a short walk (albeit up a steep hill) and features locally grown fresh produce at reasonable prices. Big supermarkets and facilities in Cardigan - just a short drive. Beaches, castles, market towns, nature reserves all around and a short drive. The closeness of the river Teifi and lovely walks (especially in the evening when the bats are feeding over the water) is a huge plus. Whatever you do... don't miss the opportunity to visit the National Coracle Centre nearby - it's a challenge, but rewarding! Oh, the beds were comfy.

- Howard, July 2021
David July 2021

“We thought that Teifi House was in the perfect position for peace and quiet and a lovely looking house.”

What we were disappointed with was the downstairs interior. The Kitchen cupboards and drawers need an overhaul as they are hanging off in places and I lost count how many times I got my finger trapped in the corner cupboard as the glass cupboard does not close properly. Money could be spent doing up the kitchen. The Sofas in the lounge were too low and too soft and we struggled to get out of them again some sturdier ones would be money well spent. I am surprised with Sykes not checking their properties as this is not the first occasion i've left feedback on properties where we have stayed and not up to a good standard. If these updates were done we would definitely stay again and use Sykes again but at this moment in time i will be using other companies as we go on holiday every 2 months.

- David, July 2021
Denise June 2021

“First class service with excellent communication.”

The house was perfect as very homely and welcoming - in a perfect position and couldn't fault anything - will definitely return and will also use only Sykes in the future as their service and communication was excellent- cannot recommend the house and booking company enough, thank you so much!

- Denise, June 2021
Robert June 2021

“We love this area and have booked again for next year.”

..... but not this property. we were here first in october 2019 and reported some things to the owner that were broken. fast forward 18 months and these issues are still there. broken rim on the shower broken kitchen drawer now even more broken items, the window in the kitchen is smashed (covered by the blind), in the back double room the window will not open, broken cupboard in the kitchen, door sticks in the downstairs toilet, tv kept cutting out and garden so unkempt the dog got a tick in the long grass. also lots of cobwebs for a covid cleaned house. we still enjoyed our holiday but feel these issues should be dealt with

Great cottage home from home location was fabulous listening to the birds sing so peaceful but close to shop and other amenities the river walks on your doorstep dogs loved it and then the log burner on an evening was so cosy only thing I would say a bigger fridge freezer needed for those who don’t eat out and want to take their own food but will definitely be booking again soon

- Teresa, November 2020

“Few things hadn’t been cleaned.”

Clothes airer was broken and could have been bigger as no clothes line. Fridge freezer too small for Size of house Also bottom drawer was broken. Still a lovely house with everything you needed.

Alison November 2019

“Lovely house, very comfortable had everything from home to home, the only thing we did not get was a welcome pack i.”

E bread , milk etc which is usually standard, all so in right up said there was 3 pubs in village for food, 2 pubs had shut in January and 3rd pub only served drink there is a pub about 2 miles away the Peny ryn arms that was lovely , fantastic walks from the door. The boiler stopped working but was fixed within 24 hours.

Had such a great time we have already booked again for next year

- Helen, October 2019
Matthew August 2019

“Lovely clean and comfortable cottage close to lots of attractions.”

Lots of space to spread out for the four of us, two adults a teenager and an 11 year old. Games to play, books to read and jigsaws to complete. Not that we had time to sit around because we arrived during Cilgerran carnival week and there was so much to see and do. The Castle was interesting and had several events to go to over the August bank holiday weekend and during the following week. The Villagers were very friendly and welcoming, especially at the corner shop at the end of the road. The fish and chip takeaway van arrives on a Thursday near the Petrol station and provided a tasty fish and chip supper. A very relaxing holiday where we didn’t need to use the car everyday.

- Matthew, August 2019
Anne-marie July 2019

“This is a lovely cottage in a beautiful part of the world.”

It is well appointed and as described in both text and photos, except the parking, lane and outdoor seating were all much better than we were expecting.

- Anne-marie, July 2019
Anne C June 2019

“On arrival the house had an awful smell all over ground floor, we had to go and buy and buy a spray to spray carpet,after opening all doors and windows didn’t help.”

The cooking utensils and saucepans, also cutlery needed washing before using. The garden was on the front of the house, there were nine rubbish bags on the pavement leaning against the wall, flies all around so we were unable to sit outside. We arrived on the Saturday, Tuesday when we drove back to the house we said Oh good the bags had gone, only to find they had been thrown into the garden for some reason unknown to us, we got in touch with owner who sent someone to move them, they were moved back up against the wall again. There was black dust all around in our on suite I could go on. When you pay to rent a property you expect things to be clean this was not. The owner should be checking also you as a company advertising cottages and houses should make sure they are fit for purpose.

- Anne C, June 2019

Thank you for the feedback, My cleaning team have checked the carpets and can find nothing untoward but they will of course monitor that . I've also asked that the cutlery/crockery is checked again as I pride myself on usually high standards. I contacted the cleaning team straightaway on seeing your review and will ensure that standards throughout the property are rechecked as necessary. Apologies for any oversight with the bins which were tidied up while waiting for the next bin collection,which was regrettably out of my control at the time. Property Owner

Mike June 2019

“Great quiet location, close to local town but in quiet village with excellent shop within 10 mins walk.”

TV with freeview and DVD player with small collection of dvds to watch - WiFi was no problem to set up. Easy self check in procedure and house information sheet was helpful - very spacious accommodation with large lounge / diner and huge kitchen. Parking was a real bonus and made such a difference - will definitely consider this place again if we return to this area.

- Mike, June 2019
Ray April 2019

“The cottage has private, gated, off-road parking for one car, access is via a relatively steep single track road which also serves the local river-side car park so any visitor needs to be comfortable with or at least aware of the possible challenges this may bring, particularly in the high season.”

- Ray, April 2019
Selina November 2018

“House is in an ideal location for walks along the river.”

There's no garden as such but you have the river on your doorstep so not an issue. We are used to log burners so didn't find it a problem getting it going but be warned - when you first light it you get a lot of smoke in the room, it takes awhile for the warm air to rise up the chimney. So I would recommend firelighter and kindling to start rather than burning paper (which was what was left for us to use). The Kitchen is lovely and big with lots of utencils etc, a couple of niggles ie the dishwasher top shelf you have to be careful with as it will come right out of it's runners and the oven is difficult to light... there's a real knack to it. The previous review was a real worry as it was very scathing about the cleanliness - I spoke to the owner beforehand about this, he was very honest and said he had been let down by previous cleaning company which had all been resolved. The house was certainly a lot cleaner than the previous review (I am really fussy)... perfectly adequate.

- Selina, November 2018
Angela November 2018

“I don't think we were meant to go away for my birthday this year.”

I booked our trip for Station Hall at Cilgerran and then just as I was about to pay the balance I was told my holiday was cancelled as it had been double booked. I then didn't have much choice trying to find a suitable cottage that accommodated two dogs for the same dates due to our time off work being booked. I opted for Teifi House as it seemed suitable and was in the location we wanted as we were going to meet up with family nearby for some birthday celebrations. The owner rang me the day before about key location and if there were any problems then to let him know. We arrived just before 3pm on 10th November. Unlocked the doors and then just emptied the contents of our cars into the kitchen and then headed off to the nearby Cliff Hotel at Gwbert for afternoon teas with family who were waiting for us. At the end of the evening we headed back to Teifi House for our holiday. The house is vast and a great size as only three of us were staying. A great location near the local river for walks etc and the village at the top of the hill. We then started to unpack and familiarise ourselves with the house. The first point of call was the downstairs toilet next to the utility room which had not been cleaned and was the standard of a well used public toilet. We packed our shopping away in the cupboards and there were ample pots and pans and glasses etc but it was debatable whether they were clean. The dishwasher still contained dirty crockery from the previous holiday makers. The microwave was dirty with food spills. We struggled to light the oven and couldn't find any manuals that went with the appliances. We were in the process of washing up at the sink (because the dishwasher was full and by now we'd put it on) when our feet got wet. On checking inside the cupboard the trap was not fitted under the sink and water was spilling all over the cupboard. Judging by the amount of empty Kitchen Unblocker bottles, it suggested there had been a problem here. We managed to attach the relevant pipe work. On going through to the lounge, the carpet didn't appear as if it had been hoovered and to add to that there were dog biscuits and chews on the floor! The bathroom sinks appeared to have been cleaned and there were clean towels and bedding on the bed. We couldn't find a Visitors Book which normally offers local recommendations. The Idiots Guide to the House is a few sheets of A4 paper which has been there so long the print is barely readable. One page of it had even been torn off. There's a hand written note about the bins which looks as if had been prepared by a guest. There were two dustbins out on the roadside, one contained paper cake wrappers and an assortment of tins and bags. Nothing in the relevant recycling bags of which there was an ample supply of bags under the sink, albeit wet. There is no phone signal to contact the owner from the house and to be honest it was late in the day and after the long journey we just went to bed and made the most of it. We covered the settees with blankets which I always do and allowed my dogs the run of the house as I really didn't think they could make the house any more dirtier than it was. When we left the house we left it cleaner than when we arrived. I always strip the beds when we leave holiday homes to allow the owner to know which beds we had used. I wish I hadn't . There were no pillow case protectors on the bed, the pillows were soiled. I removed the bottom sheet to find a mattress protector which performed its duties as it too was very soiled with what can only be described a Love Juices!! Need I say more. I was glad to leave that house. I assume the owner had no involvement with caring for the property other than the cash going in the bank. I've since seen numerous complaints about the standard of this house and it seems that nothing has been done to rectify the problem. I would say that the standard of cleanliness depends on who was in the house prior to new guests arriving and how much cleaning they did on leaving or during their stay. There were no cloths to use to clean around sinks etc and I'm certainly not buying them when I'm on holiday. I did not make contact with the owner whilst on my holiday as I wanted a stress free holiday and not confrontation. We stayed out most of the time. Also on another matter, please stop sending me emails every time I look at a holiday home. I have been using holiday homes since 1992 and this one is certainly in the top five of being the worst. I've already got another five holiday cottages booked for the next year so please don't send me any further details as I need to get over this one.

“Teifi House we stayed in was perfect.”

Everything required was in there. The position of the Cottage was close to the river and extremely quiet. Just a short walk from the Village and the river. Recommended for families couples or even singles wishing for a comfortable and quiet holiday. We visited the Castle and were surprised how good it was. Tenby was a great day out,60 min drive but well worth it. The Gold mine visit at Dolgellau was exceptional. Highly recommend this Cottage. Couldn't find anything to fault it.We are hoping to return again with the whole of the family next time.

“Really lovely cottage with lots to do in the area.”

Sheila July 2018

“Nice big house with plenty of space.”

Some things could do with updating but overall was good. Wonderful big gas cooker but the numbers have worn off so impossible to know what temperature you are setting the oven at. Also a pet hate of mine was nothing to put things on in the shower. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash all had to be balanced around the shower tray. No instructions either on what rubbish goes in what bag or when the bin men come. The previous occupants obviously had the same problem as the bin men wouldn't take their recycling away. I presume they'd put the wrong things in the bags as they didn't know. This, however, meant their rubbish sat at the front gate for the whole week. Would be easy to remedy this as other cottages give you a list of what can be recycled. Only minor problems but I feel if they were remedied they would make a big difference. That said, the kitchen was well stocked, lovely huge master bedroom, enormous dining table and a good location for visiting the area. The Welsh Wildlife Centre in Cilgerran is a must.

- Sheila, July 2018
Darren June 2018

“We had a wonderful week at the cottage and would highly recommend it.”

The beaches were not far by car and were amazing. The cottage itself is lovely. Just a couple of points we felt we wanted to mention, there was no toilet paper when we arrived, luckily we had brought our own but it would have been nice if it was included and maybe a small welcome pack to include items such as milk and bread. Secondly it would have been nice if there were a few comfy garden chairs as apart from the stone table and benches and a few collapsible wooden chairs there was nothing comfy to sit on in the garden which is a great shame as the location is perfect.

- Darren, June 2018
Claire June 2018

“The location of the property is great, both in the village and near Cardigan, and the secure parking for multiple cars a bonus.”

The listing doesn't get across the amazing views and proximity to the river Teifi, which is practically on your doorstep. As far as the house goes, it is comfortable and clean. There were some basic amenities missing which I have come to expect from every holiday cottages have stayed in; no milk for tea on arrival, no kitchen roll or dishwasher tablets, and no hand towels in the bathrooms. The towels provided were also comically small and of very little practical use. Either these minor issues need to be rectified, or people need to be made aware beforehand that such items will not be provided.

- Claire, June 2018

Louise April 2018

“This was a fantastic house, spacious yet cosy with everything you could need.”

The location was brilliant and a car is not always needed as there are plenty of walks from the house and places to visit. We ran out of time with the amount of things to do and places to visit in very close proximity to the house. Would definitely recommend this house and would definitely go back to stay again.

- Louise, April 2018

dogmeals we had planed an early Christmas Weekend with our family for the first few days of our stay.On arrival the house was warm and clean , all the rooms were of a good size. We did have a problem on the first evening with the oven on the large gas cooker which failed to heat up correctly. This was a major problem for us as we had all brought a lot of meat and vegitables for the special meal on the next day( saturday). We telephoned the contact person who was incredably helpful, he firstly made suggestions to try and clear the problem, then after this failed to solve the problem he offered to pay for a takeaway meal for the whole family - we declined this offer as we had plenty of pre-cooked food to feed everyone. The contact person said that he would arrange for a gas engineer to visit the cottage the next morning and even informed us a little later about the approximate time that the engineer would arrive. By Midday on the Saturday , (whilst we enjoyed the local nature walks ) the engineer had corrected the problem and we could cook a large family early Christmas meal. The manager/ owner of this cottage was incredably helpful and very pleasant as well as being as good as his word. Just one point to mention ( and agrees totally with the last review of the cottage) the kitchen is poorly equiped for home cooking with poor quality cutlery and cupboard doors peeling and hanging off. We had read the latest reviews for the cottage and so took pans and knives ect . which was a very good idea !. With just a little expenditure in the kitchen this cottage could be a great choice all round. The location of the cottage is wonderful for pet owners and nature walkers . I would very much like to stay at this cottage again especially as i really don't think the contact person could have done any more to make our stay perfect !.

The property

This comfortable, semi-detached cottage is perched on the hillside of the Teifi Valley, in the popular village of Cilgerran near the market town of Cardigan.

The cottage is a perfect base for families or friends looking for a little peace in the tranquil river valley, just a short walk from local pubs and days out.

Set over two floors, there are three comfortable bedrooms, one with an en-suite, and a family bathroom.

There is a well-equipped, light and airy kitchen with a breakfast area, ideal for a hearty meal before your days out.

One step down takes you into the sitting room where you can enjoy your evening meal in the dining area, or cosy up in front of the woodburner with a good film.

Outside, you can sit in the front patio and enjoy the views over the tree tops across the valley.

Explore the National Trust’s Cilgerran Castle, virtually on your doorstep, or enjoy the Wildlife Trust's Teifi Nature Reserve with fabulous nature walks and popular café.

The River Teifi runs through the valley, which provides fabulous walking opportunities and is renowned for its excellent fishing.

The beautiful Cenarth Falls are a short drive away, and you may be lucky enough to see the seasonal salmon leaping.

You are ideally placed to explore the wonderful coastline of Cardigan Bay with various sandy beaches just 7 miles away, such as Poppit Sands, Moylegrove or perhaps travel a little further to the peaceful National Trust Beach of Penbryn.

The area offers numerous outdoor activities, the Pembrokeshire National Park opens up just 4 miles away and locally you can go on a boat trip to enjoy the local dolphin and wildlife spotting opportunities.

Slightly further afield to the south, why not visit the quaint village of Narberth and enjoy some boutique style shopping?

To the north you will find the popular seaside beach resort of New Quay, famous for resident dolphins, and the harbour town of Aberaeron, with its multicoloured houses lining the harbour.

With days out virtually on the doorstep, this cottage is ideal for families and friends looking to walk the fantastic local countryside or enjoy the nearby sandy beaches and coastal paths, or perhaps just sit and spend a lazy day by the river.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
