Byre Holiday Cottages

Clifftop self-catering cottages overlooking Cardigan Bay

Byre Cottages is a small collection of self-catering holiday properties on a peaceful farm near Cardigan, set in breathtaking clifftop scenery overlooking Cardigan Bay. With a choice of comfortable cottages and a log cabin sleeping up to around twelve guests in total, it is a wonderfully relaxing, dog-friendly base for a couple, a family or a larger group — with red kites overhead and seals and dolphins often seen offshore.

A choice of cottages and a log cabin

The accommodation offers real flexibility across several self-catering properties: 1 Byre (sleeping two), 2 Byre (sleeping four), the Bayview log cabin (sleeping two) and the Old Barn (sleeping four) — up to around twelve guests in total when booked together. That mix suits a couple wanting a quiet bolthole just as well as an extended family or group taking more than one property and gathering on the same farm. Each is a comfortable, well-equipped self-catering home in a glorious coastal setting.

A spectacular coastal setting

The farm sits in stunning clifftop countryside overlooking Cardigan Bay, so the views and the wildlife are a big part of the appeal — red kites are regular visitors overhead, and seals and dolphins are often spotted from the coast. It is a genuinely peaceful, away-from-it-all spot, yet within easy reach of beaches, harbour towns and the Ceredigion Heritage Coast.

Who it suits

Byre suits couples, families and groups who love the coast and the outdoors and want a quiet, scenic farm base rather than a busy resort. Walkers, wildlife-watchers and beach-lovers are all well served, and the dog-friendly welcome makes it a great pick for those bringing a four-legged friend. With several properties on one farm, it is especially good for two families or a group who want their own space while staying close together.

Cardigan and the Ceredigion coast

The farm is well placed for the historic town of Cardigan, with its restored castle and the Teifi estuary, and the Welsh Wildlife Centre at the nearby Teifi Marshes. The coast here is dotted with lovely beaches — Mwnt, Tresaith and Poppit Sands among them — and the colourful harbour town of New Quay, famous for its dolphins, is around twenty minutes away. The Ceredigion Heritage Coast and the start of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path are both within easy reach. For more ideas, browse places to stay across Ceredigion.
