Sunny Hillside Moylegrove

Escape to this stylish, rural getaway in Cardigan, Pembrokeshire, for a quiet retreat amongst scenic countryside walks and wide-open beaches on a mind-blowing stretch of coast. Follow the woodland route down to Ceibwr Bay (1 mile).

This remote beach is mainly pebbles, but it certainly impresses with its vast views and seals occasionally popping up to say hello! Further along the coast, Poppit Sands (3.5 miles) and Newport Beach (6 miles) offer a more sandy day out, and are a must-visit for high-octane water sports enthusiasts.

The world-renowned Pembrokeshire Coast Path runs alongside here too, if you fancy seeing the picturesque sights on foot. Recharge with a hearty bowl of Cawl in Cardigan (6 miles), before wandering the Norman halls of Cardigan Castle.

For a change of scenery, the Preseli Hills are within 18 miles and provide well-liked birdwatching spots and mountain ranges to climb. Enter this characterful cottage and find yourself in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where the owner's artful eye blends charming vaulted ceilings and exposed beams with luxe green furniture and statement lighting.

Hunker down by the wood burner and watch a box set on the Smart TV. To the left of the room is a compact yet highly functional kitchen and a handy bench-style dining space, which is sure to be the hub for game nights or rounds of tea and toast.

Down the hall, the seaside-inspired twin bedroom offers sanctuary for travellers and has storage for all, while the charming double bedroom also boasts storage and beautiful views. Finishing off this sumptuous base is the central shower room, adorned with Spanish tiles and ample space.

There's a cottage garden for sunset dining, alive with birds, dragonflies, and butterflies. Gather in the enclosed patio for distant sea views and cups of cocoa, or simply bathe in the sun's rays.
