1 Pegraig Draw

A peaceful country cottage with valley views near Aberystwyth

1 Pengraig Draw is a characterful self-catering cottage in the countryside at Llanychaiarn, around three miles south of Aberystwyth on the Ceredigion coast. Sleeping up to six and welcoming a dog, with a conservatory looking out over the valley and a pebble beach about a mile away, it makes a quiet, away-from-it-all base for exploring Cardigan Bay and the green hills of mid Wales.

Inside the cottage

There are two bedrooms — one with a king and a single, the other with three singles — plus a sofa bed, giving flexible sleeping for up to six. The bathroom has a bath, shower and heated towel rail. The kitchen is fully equipped, with a dishwasher, microwave and electric cooker, and there is a washing machine and oil central heating. A lovely conservatory takes in the valley views, and the cottage has a 32-inch Freeview TV and DVD player. It is a traditional country property, so do note there are some low ceilings and beams.

Outside and practical details

Outdoors there is a patio with garden furniture and a small balcony, plus shared grounds with a park area and children’s toys — handy for families. Private parking is provided for up to three cars. The cottage is pet-friendly (one dog, at no extra charge) and non-smoking, and a travel cot and highchair can be provided on request. The water comes from a natural borehole supply, in keeping with the rural setting.

Aberystwyth and the Ceredigion coast

This quiet spot is well placed for the lively seaside university town of Aberystwyth, just three miles north, with its long promenade, the cliff railway up Constitution Hill, the harbour and the National Library of Wales. The Ceredigion coast is wonderful for wildlife — bottlenose dolphins are often seen offshore, especially around New Quay further south — and the Wales Coast Path runs along the cliffs. Inland, the dramatic gorge and waterfalls at Devil’s Bridge, the narrow-gauge Vale of Rheidol Railway and the red kite feeding station at Bwlch Nant yr Arian are all within easy reach.

Who it suits

With flexible sleeping for up to six, a dog-friendly welcome and a shared play area, the cottage is well suited to families and small groups who want peace and countryside without being far from the coast or the conveniences of Aberystwyth. The valley-view conservatory makes a lovely spot to relax with a book or watch the light change over the hills, and the quiet setting is ideal for walkers, cyclists and anyone wanting a genuine rural escape with the sea close at hand.
