A property trapped in time; the original features of this character cottage have been sympathetically maintained to create a unique destination holiday home. Despite the textured stone walls, original oak beams and slate flagged flooring in this former clog makers cottage, care has been taken to update the property to an excellent modern standard, complete with a private hot tub, modern appliances and extremely comfortable beds in all three bedrooms. Six guests are invited to stay in comfort in this one-of-a-kind space, enjoying the ever-pleasant gardens bordered by woodlands with a stream running through in the summer or cosying up by the wood burner when the weather turns cold.

You’re greeted with rustic charm as you step into the dining room with a large farmhouse table and a decorative Aga. From here you can head upstairs to find all three bedrooms and the bathroom or stay downstairs to access the kitchen or lounge. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you might need to feed six hungry guests and the lounge has been smartly laid out with cushy seating, a Smart TV and the wood burner. Outside, the property comes to life with a grassy lawn, mature flora and a patio space with an outdoor shower for use after muddy walks, trips to the beach or after a dip in the hot tub.

Find beaches in abundance along Cardigan Bay, accessible within 5 miles. Visit the nearby town of Aberaeron (5 miles), a place with pastel-coloured houses that line the seafront, a fantastic pebble beach and some quality restaurants. From here you can embark on a hike or bike ride along the Wales Coast Path, keeping an eagle eye out for pods of dolphins in the water as you venture along to New Quay (8.5 miles).

  • 3 bedrooms – 1 super-king-size, 1 double and 1 twin
  • 1 bathroom
  • Electric oven and gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and washing machine
  • Private hot tub and outside shower
  • Wood burner (first basket of logs included)
  • Rural property which you access by driving through a private lane, which is uneven in parts.
  • Ample off-road parking at end of private lane
  • Beach 3.5 miles at Aberaeron, pubs and shops 3 miles
  • TV in the lounge

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this historical cottage. The kitchen is very well equipped and a joy to cook in. Beds lovely and comfortable. Hot tub - amazing. We loved tbe seclusion and peace and yet were only a short drive from Aberaeron with its fabulous selection of restaurants. The dogs had a ball !

Tale of two halves at Cwm Cloccs, beautifully peacefull tranquil setting. All you can hear literally are birds and the babble of the river. We filled the bird feeders and within an hour we had a myriad of species. The downside was the pathetic wifi and the TV, constantly breaking up.

A really special holiday cottage in the woods. We loved our stay here and the location was brilliant - in the middle of nowhere but so accessible to the fabulous harbour at Aberaeron and lots of beautiful beaches. The beds were really comfortable, there was everything we needed in the kitchen and hot tub was used everyday by the whole family.
