Escape with all of your favourite people to this beautiful, brick and flint cottage just outside the pretty coastal village of Aberporth. Sleeping seven people across four bedrooms, this is a perfect accommodation option for large families or a group of friends who want to celebrate a special occasion in a traditional cottage in West Wales. During the day, pack up a picnic and head to Penbryn Beach - a fantastic spot for beach games with your loved ones. In the evening, come home and host a sociable dinner party in the cottage’s stylish dining area. Step inside and you’ll find a spacious hallway leading to the bright lounge/diner with beautiful wooden beams and exposed stone walls.

After dinner, warm your toes by the wood burner in the lounge area, or – if you’re yearning for a little quiet-time - grab a good book and retreat to the small veranda. At the end of the day, head upstairs and you’ll find four inviting bedrooms - three doubles and one single. The master bedroom features exposed beams and has its own external staircase leading to the front of the property. Enjoy some quality time with the whole gang at Aberporth Beach (5.5 miles). Pack up a picnic and soak up the views of the Cardigan Bay while you dine.
