About this property
This fantastic hideaway dog friendly holiday cottage in Cardigan is perched on the hillside in St Dogmaels.
The Property
Steeped with generations of family history this dog friendly holiday cottage is the perfect base for exploring the county. While most importantly offering a tranquil environment for some rest and relaxation. The cottage is renovated to a contemporary style which it makes a fantastic house for both short and long stays.
The cottage comfortably sleeps 4 people with a double and a twin room. Downstairs in the property there is a spacious lounge and dining area resulting in plenty of space to entertain. Towards the back of the cottage is the kitchen. It is fully equipped with the basic essentials, washing machine and dishwasher to make your self catering stay comfortable.
The Exterior
Access to the cottage is via a footbridge over a running stream. and up a short incline. We love the sound of the water flowing and birds chirping in the background.. However, we must comment that the path to the cottage is narrow but this all adds to the character of your stay at this lovely country cottage.
The Surroundings
St Dogmaels is a small village overlooking the River Teifi a mile downstream from the bustling town of Cardigan. The coastline offers stunning beaches, golden sands and rugged coves in all directions.
There is a lot of exploring to be done in this area, for instance a boat trip around Cardigan Bay is a must to see. Resident Bottlenose Dolphins, Porpoise and Grey Seals are a common site. The 186-mile long Pembrokeshire Coast Path starts in St Dogmaels village and continues south as far as Amroth to the south. St Dogmaels houses the remains of a 12th century St Dogmaels Abbey and, most importantly has a pub, mini-market and fish and chip shop right on your doorstep!
A short distance from this dog friendly holiday cottage is Cardigan. You can enjoy the Farmers Market, which is held every Tuesday, offering a wide range of local produce such as vegetables, meat, cakes, bread, seafood, cheese and hand-crafted textiles and much, much more.

Great stay at Ardwyn. We loved it. Great location and facilities.

It was a great base for exploring St Dogmael's and Cardigan and felt very peaceful. Check-in was easy and it had everything we needed for ourselves, our toddler, and our dog. We could walk to the beach (Poppit Sands), go for lovely coastal hikes, and enjoyed great meals at El Salsa, PizzaTipi, and Crwst in Cardigan. The only thing that was tricky was finding the cottage once we arrived (since there's no street or house number). I've notified the letting agency* that photos and maps would be helpful for this.
(note: it's an agency rather than a person letting it out, which has the advantage of efficiency and ease but may not be what is expected from airbnb and the listing saying it's let by "Emma") read less

The house is cosy, comfortable, very clean and it had everything we needed for our week-long stay. St Dogmaels is a lovely village and our 17 month old loved feeding the ducks and exploring the Abbey. There are some fantastic beaches within a 30 minute drive and Cardigan is just a 5 minute drive away. Access to the property is via a steep path which could be tricky for those less mobile. Would recommend the property. read less

Beautiful vistas and a cosy little village with a fish and chip shop. Beware the pub on the road to Poppit Beach as it is very expensive. £3.85 for a pint of ale and the food was no more than average. read less

An easy walk into town and local shops and set next to a lovely stream. What a great place to sit and have a morning coffee before heading out to explore the beautiful countryside and beaches nearby.

The accommodation was perfect for our small family. It was an ideal base for fantastic local beaches and some great local pubs but we also spent a lot of time indoors relaxing which is testament to the high standard of the cottage. We were pleased to see that Cardigan has had some investment recently too and walked down into the main town several times (about a 25 minute walk) for evening meals and a visit to the castle. Highly recommended. We had a first class summer holiday. read less
