Tucked into the rugged beauty of the Cambrian Mountains, this cosy Cwmystwyth hideaway offers a peaceful, dog-friendly escape - perfect for families, couples, or friends looking to explore Wales’ most irresistible adventures. Just 16 miles away, Aberystwyth brims with seaside charm – think sandy beach picnics, ice cream in hand, and the gentle chug of the cliff railway whisking you up to panoramic views.

Stroll the Victorian promenade at sunset or browse quirky bookshops and cafes set along colourful streets. At Devil’s Bridge Waterfalls (4 miles), feel the cool spray on your face as water thunders through the famous Rheidol Gorge, then warm up with mugs of tea and Welsh cakes in the village.

The 72-square-mile Elan Valley Estate (11 miles) invites leisurely cycles or challenging hikes along the waterways, while the romantic Hafod Estate (1.5 miles) offers slower strolls through secret woodland paths and rushing waterfalls. History buffs can roam the haunting ruins of Strata Florida Abbey (7 miles), which once housed Cistercian monks.

Guests are welcomed into a warm and inviting open-plan living and dining area – the perfect spot to unwind after exploring charming local towns. Whether you're curling up in front of the Smart TV or wood burner, enjoying a board game, or getting lost in a good book, this space is designed for relaxation and togetherness.

Up a couple of steps, you'll find the well-equipped country kitchen, complete with an Echo Show to help you discover and prepare delicious local Welsh dishes, all while enjoying views of the surrounding countryside. Leading off the kitchen, you'll find a stylish, contemporary shower room.

Follow the wooden staircase up to the first floor, where two charming bedrooms await sleepy heads. The spacious king-size bedroom and the cosy twin room both offer plenty of built-in storage and crisp, fresh linens.
