Panoramic sea views are the focus of attention in this stunning Mid Wales apartment. Bespoke features, contemporary elements and modern fixtures are all combined to create an exceptional place to stay on Cardigan Bay, with an award-winning beach mere metres away and the ever-popular seaside destination of Aberystwyth just 7 miles away. Made for families, the accommodation hosts a party of eight and invites young ones to stay with a cosy kids’ reading nook next to the twin bedroom on the first floor. There’s so much to do as a family close by, including endless days on the beach and countryside exploration in nearby forests.

Make your way past a spot to store bodyboards and beach equipment and move up the round staircase into the open-plan living area. This spectacular, circular building offers floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views and access to two private terraces. The front veranda is exceptional with its sea view and the second veranda is fantastic for al fresco dining. Indoors, the open-plan living space pairs funky styling with comfortable features, benefiting from a wood burner, cushy seating and a quality kitchen. All four bedrooms are located off this main space, each with its own mighty view. The master bedroom, a delectable king-size, is laid out with large windows and a seascape that you’ll dream of waking up to.

Just a few steps away (less than 0.5 miles), Borth Beach is Ceredigion’s longest stretch of sand and is a real destination for all kinds of beachy activities. Popular with surfers and swimmers, you’ll love summer days here. Find further coastal appeal at Aberystwyth, the nearby town with a diverse culture and plenty of shopping and eating facilities.

I made contact before traveling to ask if I could do my main shop in their shop .

Can not recommend this property highly enough. Hide
