Welcoming and full of character, this cosy holiday home has room for couples or families, and is dog-friendly, too. Just metres from the beach in New Quay, it’s ideal for days at the beach, walking the coast path, water sports, cycling or just relaxing in its enclosed patio.
The cottage gives off cosy vibes from the very moment you enter. Its spacious kitchen features oak cupboards, a traditional pantry and a range cooker, and leads through an arch into the lounge/diner, where soft leather seating is arranged around a Smart TV and a wood burner, with a farmhouse-style dining table behind. A half-staircase leads down to the front door from here, but you’ll usually use the back door which accesses the parking area up a flight of stairs. After an evening of board games, chatting, reading of watching movies, head up to the first floor, where there are two double bedrooms (one with a TV and a wooden cot), and a bunk-bed room for two, which has use of a wardrobe on the landing for additional storage if necessary. The handsome family bathroom has a large shower and a free-standing bath. On warm days, you won’t be able to resist heading out to the enclosed patio, where there’s furniture for you to enjoy al fresco drinks and dining.
New Quay Beach, one of several which extend in an arc around the town’s sheltered bay, is just 200m from the property, and the town’s shops, bars and restaurants are all close at hand. If you’re feeling active, take a stroll along the coastal path, cycle one of the nearby trails, try kayaking, paddleboarding and sailing at the water sports centre, or play a round at the golf course, 5 miles away. For something a little different, you could book a dolphin-spotting boat trip around Cardigan Bay.
