Blackthorn Cottage - Aberporth

Set just over a mile from the seaside village of Aberporth, this delightful cottage offers cosy accommodation to couples and small families seeking unforgettable adventures along the Welsh coastline. For bucket-and-spade days together, Aberporth Bay (1.5 miles) offers two of the best beaches in Wales – Dolwen and Dyffryn. Here, unwind on the golden sands, explore the rock pools and afterwards, head to a nearby pub or seafood restaurant for a seaside treat. For more glorious beaches, Mwnt, Llangrannog and Newport are all within 18 miles. For keen walkers, stride out along the rural trails that lead from the cottage, or follow the shorelines with rambles along both The Ceredigion Coast Path (1.5 miles) and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path (6 miles). Families with little ones will love a visit to Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park (6 miles), where animal encounters and feeding opportunities await.

Before stepping into this welcoming cottage, take a moment to appreciate your surroundings of rolling countryside and overhanging trees that set the scene for a delightful Welsh stay. Head inside and be greeted by the social heart of the home, the open-plan lounge/diner. Here, sumptuous seating is arranged around a Smart TV and flame-effect electric fire, setting the perfect scene for relaxation after days of adventure together. Thanks to an impressive bay window, this sleek room is bathed in natural light. When stomachs start to rumble, lay up the wooden dining table that sits beside the window, and move round to the compact but well-appointed kitchen. This stylish space boasts all you need to cook up a feast for your loved ones, perhaps using the local ingredients you sourced earlier in the day. At the end of each day away, follow the cottage stairs to the first floor and find two inviting bedrooms, both of which sit under the eaves of the house with skylights that flood the room with sunlight. Choose from an airy master double bedroom and a cosy twin, which are served by the well-equipped family shower room that completes the interior.

Outside, to the rear of the property, step into a pretty, enclosed garden where bistro-style furniture offers the perfect opportunity for peaceful morning coffees and al fresco evening meals. Guests will also benefit from ample private parking.
