  • Located close to the Welsh coast of Aberystwyth
  • Open plan living with a cosy wood burner
Property code: 83552

Cosy barn conversion in an idyllic countryside setting in the heart of Ceredigion.

Choose this stylish former barn as your base for exploring beautiful Mid Wales and the stretch of coastline surrounding Aberystwyth. You’ll be positioned on the cusp of Llanilar, a quintessential village that boasts its own shop, bar and restaurant. Your cosy abode is a sheer treat to return to after a busy day, so you’ll soon find yourself lighting the wood burner and snuggling up to watch films armed with bowls of popcorn. Ideal for couples and small families of up to four guests, the interiors of the property have been tastefully finished with sleek decor and comfortable furniture to match. The open-plan living space is equipped with all the necessities and home comforts you need for relaxing by the wood burner, cooking up a storm in the kitchen and dining at leisure around the table. There’s a handy downstairs shower room dotted with potted plants, and both of the spacious bedrooms are upstairs, complete with sloped ceilings and crisply dressed beds. Outside, the gravel and lawned garden has outdoor furniture for al fresco dining. Aberystwyth (6 miles) is brimming with exciting things to do to suit guests of all ages. Funicular railway trips, strolls along the promenade and a variety of bars, bistros and restaurants await, and you’ll be able to soak up some local history and culture with a visit to Aberystwyth Castle, rounded off by climbing the Iron Age Hill Fort of Pen Dinas to marvel at the views. Ride a steam train on the Vale of Rheidol Railway to Devil’s Bridge for even more impressive scenery, feeling a sense of adventure that thrilled Edwardian passengers all those years ago.

Beautiful cottage, location perfect for a peaceful week away. The cottage was very clean, very well equipped & comfortable. Jonathan gave us good advice on dog walks. Aberystwyth not far away, lots of things to do. Tesco delivery driver found us easily. We will certainly make a return visit.

A fabulous cottage in a beautiful rural location. The cottage is absolutely lovely with all the comforts you need for a holiday. The garden at the cottage was also great for our dogs as it was enclosed and safe. Our hosts were so helpful and nice.

If you are looking to stay in this area then this is a lovely cottage conversion.
