Property code: OC-83552

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.

The cottage was lovely although the shower was really slippery under foot quite scary the owners told us two days before we set off that the dog friendly property isn't really that friendly as we got told to keep the dogs off the furniture and beds and the upstairs bedroom's you can not stand up in

Weve just had a lovely 4 night stay over the Easter holiday. We had clear communication beforehand and Jonathon gave us a warm welcome on arrival. The surroundings are lovely and peaceful and the cottage is very comfortable. We appreciated the welcome basket and loved the boiling water tap. We will definitely be back.

We really enjoyed our stay at Swallow Barn. The barn is kitted out with everything you would need on holiday and to a really high standard. I miss that Quooker tap already. Jonathon and Jasmine were impeccable hosts too and indulged our daughter allowing her to feed the goats and sheep. Great location for visiting Aberystwyth and the surrounding arRead moreea - would highly recommend a stay here. Hide
