Round up the family for a Welsh seaside stay in this luxurious, five-bedroom home for 10, that’s handily located right in the heart of colourful Aberaeron with pubs, restaurants, independent shops and the harbour all within 150 metres. The Ceredigion Coast Path is close by too, so you can head out for a blustery walk beside Cardigan Bay, before returning home to a lovely cottage garden and superb views across the ocean.
Inside, the house has plenty of personality, with a playful nautical palette of sea blues, fresh whites and natural finishes running throughout. The open-plan kitchen/diner is built for busy family life, whether you are dishing up pancakes for ten, opening a bottle of fizz while dinner cooks or squeezing everyone around the table for a long evening meal. Two lounges give the group room to spread out afterwards, with one set up for films and the other ready for PlayStation battles and louder evenings. Upstairs, the sun lounge is the standout spot, with panoramic views across Cardigan Bay and bifold doors you can throw open to the sound of the waves. Five thoughtfully designed bedrooms are spread over the upper floors, including a king-size en-suite and flexible twin rooms. Outside, the enclosed garden has a lawn, picnic bench and charcoal BBQ, plus private parking for four cars.
If you want to explore beyond Aberaeron, follow the coast path 2 miles north to Aberarth, where the shoreline feels wilder and quieter. Inland, Llanerchaeron is 4.5 miles away for a walk around the National Trust estate, while New Quay (7.5 miles) is the place to board a dolphin-spotting boat and look back towards the Ceredigion cliffs from the water.
