The Farmhouse in Aberaeron

Large and Pet-Friendly Coastal Cottage on a Farm in Ceredigion. Sleeps 12.

Situated on the owner’s 130-acre organic farm in beautiful rolling countryside, down a single-lane farm track of about 0.5 miles, these fabulous holiday cottages are a perfect rural retreat with fabulous views of the Aeron Valley.

Just three miles from the scenic Welsh coastline at Aberaeron, whose sandy beaches stretch for miles in both directions, these cottages offer four-star-rated, beautifully presented accommodation. Each has an enclosed private lawned garden with a barbecue and patio area.

There is also a large shared lawn and a children’s play area, plus a games room with a log fire, pool table, table tennis and games console, allowing you to join in all the fun with the other guests and make new friends. Stroll down to the owners’ fishing lakes for quiet time, or enjoy breathtaking woodland walks and National Trust footpaths from the doorstep, which once belonged to the Llanerchaeron estate.

The Farmhouse stands proud at the top of the courtyard, while The Stables and Mill Cottage form part of a three-cottage stone barn conversion at the side. Each is superbly presented and equipped while retaining charming character features, including open beams and stone walls.

You may wish to spend the whole of your holiday here enjoying the private fishing ponds, fresh eggs and homegrown vegetables from the farm, along with the resident chickens and sheep, but from the doorstep, you can also walk down to and along the River Aeron, join country cycling routes (the properties are part of the Walkers and Cyclists Welcome schemes), or relax and enjoy watching the Red Kites and other wild birds overhead. The NT café, house and gardens of Llanerchaeron are a five-minute walk or a short drive away.

The local area offers picturesque coastal towns with shops, tea rooms, pubs and, of course, beaches (many of which are dog-friendly). For a secluded seaside stroll or to try surfing, pop along to the sheltered bay at Aberarth, a hidden gem. The local area is bursting with activities, from horse riding and golf to boat trips and beach days, so you’re sure to find something to suit all ages. With so much to see and do on-site and in the surrounding area, these cottages are the perfect choice for a tranquil Welsh break.

This superb detached Farmhouse is excellently presented with open beams, original stone walls and feature fireplaces throughout.
