Cae Bach

We loved the cottage. Fab location: short and long walks from the door, close to the town. Peaceful and beautiful. The cottage is stylish, functional and comfortable. Classy welcome pack. 5 stars

The cottage is beautifully situated for a break including countryside, sea and town with interesting shops and eating places. To Coch has been ingeniously converted and extended with tasteful interior decor. The high light has to be the amazing views from the lounge, plus the peace and quiet. We found the cottage had everything we needed for a weekend stay. The sleeping area is very compact with sliding doors to the bathroom (a little noisy in the middle of the night!) but we were happy to tolerate this aspect for the sake of the large and airy living space during the day.

Excellent cottage, excellent area, very well organised hospitality, beautiful walks, Herbert loved it (our dog) We had fantastic break.

We loved the location and setting of To Coch and the design of the building is wonderful with beautiful Welsh slate on the floors - and the bathroom and kitchen are really lovely and easy to use. There was such a nice welcome pack for us - so appreciated after the long but spectacular drive through the Cambrian Mountains. It was late January/early February and we were always warm and cosy thanks to the underfloor heating and the wood burner which we lit every evening. The living room is lovely and spacious and needless to say the view is stunning.

A wonderful place to spend our Christmas break! The cottage is a mix of contemporary and cosy and we immediately felt at home here. It is well situated for town and the coastal path but it was a pleasure simply to sit and take in the view. The welcome pack was an unexpected and generous touch. Our stay was short but sweet and we'd love to return.

A beautiful tranquil cottage with everything you could need. Stunning views over the bay too. Plus the cottage was spotlessly clean. I would highly recommend!

This is our 2nd visit to To Coch. We have not been lucky with the weather but have been lucky with the cottage. It is welcoming, clean and cosy. A lovely place to relax with wonderful views of Aberystwyth Bay (if its not raining!) We hope to return soon.

Fantastic cosy cottage with amazing views and only a short walk into Aberystwyth. So very private with just the wildlife to listen to. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We have really loved it here and would have liked to stay longer. Hopefully we will return one day.

Excellent facilities , great location and wonderful Welsh themed welcome pack - highly recommended - diolch yn fawr!

This is the second time we've stayed at Cae Bach and it's wonderful and we'd happily stay there again.

A lovely retreat - peaceful, with the most wonderful view towards the sea. Beautifully kept cottage with all one could wish for! A place to return to, time and again.

The cottage simply delightful and what a location! You are in the middle of lovely countryside but only a 10 minute walk (downhill) to the town. Do use the furnicular railway on the way back. Cottage is very stylish, a clever use of the space with enormous windows to take in that view. Sion and Meleri are "super hosts" , the perfect blend of welcoming, friendly and helpful. Communication with them was excellent, they were keen to offer help at any time. They very kindly left us a welcome pack of treats for us to enjoy on arrival too. Please note there is there is a only a small wardrobe. A chopping board as well as a bread board would be a useful additon in the kitchen. Our first holiday with UTT and we were very impressed.

I thoroughly enjoyed this lovely, comfortable & perfectly located cottage. Fantastic coastal clifftop and inland countryside walks right from the doorstep, beautiful views all around. Near enough to the very pleasant & characterful Welsh seaside town to visit it easily, but far enough away from any public roads to be surrounded entirely by clean fresh air with no traffic fumes - exactly what I was hoping for!

We spent a peaceful and relaxing 4 days here. From the delicious welcome pack to the bright and well-equipped rooms, we had everything we needed for an idyllic stay. Highlights of our visit to the area were a walk along the beach at Ynyslas to see the preserved tree stumps of the petrified forest in the sand, and a mountain drive (single track, sheer drops) out of Talybont to the Nant-y-moch reservoir. We spent our last evening on the front at Aberystwyth, enjoying an ice cream from PD’s Diner and just enjoying the presence of other people at last! Thank you for a lovely break - we’re hoping to be back soon!

We absolutely love this cottage - the conversion is ingenious, the interiors beautifully simple and considered with everything needed for a comfortable stay. There is a real sense of peace and privacy looking out over the fabulous view, and yet the delightful town of Aberystwyth with its great selection of independent shops and cafes just 10 minutes walk away. The area is great for walking and cycling without the crowds of other parts of Wales. The hosts are warm and welcoming and we will definitely be back. Guest, Sarah-Jane W

Thank you for a much needed relaxing stay. The place is beautifully converted and feels private, with lovely touches such as the Welsh art and blankets and flowers and prosecco to welcome us on arrival. We loved the big windows and doors that opened onto the sunny terrace and the comfortable bed. It's only a short (hilly!) walk into town although most places were of course shut when we visited! We had good walks straight from the cottage to Constitution Hill and to Pen Dinas with amazing views. We can recommend a visit to the Hafod Estate, Ynyslas and Talybont. There's so much to see nearby and there is a handy basket of leaflets and maps available. We would advise taking a hairdryer and kitchen basics such as oil and coffee (cafetiere provided) and not too much stuff as there is minimal storage. We would love to go back one day. Diolch am wyliau hyfryd yn Cae Bach.

As always booking through UTT was an easy and pleasant transaction. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cae Bach. It was easy to find. The location was great being close to town and to the coastal path. The cottage was spotlessly clean and warm. Our hosts were always available if we needed anything. Highly recommend this cottage and look forward to returning soon.

The photos did not do the view justice! Stunning location and so peaceful. Beautifully appointed property, with lovely unique items. Great spot for walking, mountain biking and bird watching. Highly recommend.

Wonderfully quiet and extremely comfortable property, we really enjoyed our stay. The view from the window on a nice day is fantastic! Everything is provided. When we asked Sion and Meleri about maps and local walking books, they very kindly provided some before we arrived. Richard & Pam (stayed July 2020)

Peaceful tranquil wonderful views, all of the above I can only repeat the reviews of others. Cae bach is a beautiful cottage with everything you need for a relaxing break without being too far away from civilisation. A good place to explore the Ceredigion coastal path and local walks. We didn't use our car all weekend and the walk to town took about 15 minutes a steep walk back but all part of the experience, no rush we're on holiday. Would love to return

Absolutely gorgeous - Cae Bach is perfect - calm and peaceful surroundings -great views and walks from the door. Lovely minimal decor matched the tranquility of the setting. Just brilliant!

We had a lovely holiday at Cae Bach and enjoyed many walks along the coastline. The cottage is peaceful and cosy. We were lucky with the weather so were able to enjoy the garden and the views of Cardigan Bay. Hope to return again soon.

Such a lovely calm place to stay. Brilliant for walking either way along the coast and with fantastic view. Woodpeckers, buzzards, crows and Aber's starling murmuration are gorgeous to watch as well as many other birds, bees and wildlife. It's a little haven.

Just spent a delightful short stay at Cae Bach The cottage was warm( underfloor heating) stylish and comfortable The location was ace, offering wonderful views and an ever changing sky, and plenty of sheep for company. Access to coastal path and Aberystwyth was close , if rather windy out of season . A good variety of shops / restaurants In Aberystwyth and easy access to coastal hideaways A delight!

We had a wonderful stay at Cae Bach. We travelled by train and it is well situated for a car-free holiday (though the taxi driver from the station had trouble finding it late at night). The walk up the hill from the town is not too steep! You feel you are miles from anywhere with the fantastic views around. It is very convenient for walking the coast path and Aberystwyth in winter was quiet and the seafront very dramatic at night in the wind and rain with waves breaking over the sea wall. The cottage is very well equipped (though I didn’t spot a hairdryer). We had some lovely walking weather and a day of wind and rain during which we just snuggled up in the warm in front of the fire listening to the howling winds around us. We would love to return in the summer.

Lovely cottage with beautiful views of the sea and close to the town of Aber and a lovely wood burner and everything you need for a cozy getaway. Would definitely visit this place again.

A fabulous place in a great location.

A lovely cosy cottage in a peaceful location. It was well equipped, clean and comfortable. Great coastal walks directly from the cottage or into town via the cliff railway. I would definitely recommend this cottage to others.

I have been looking forward to our stay at Cae Bach since I was lucky enough to find it during a google maps search! The property is beautifully decorated and maintained. Meleri and Sion have created a wonderful balance of traditional and modern. They are very thoughtful and are careful to include everything you could possibly want. The welcome bag of goodies and chilled Prosecco was very much appreciated. The location is unique. So quiet and tranquil, with unbelievable views to the sea and over the hills. It is also a short walk into town. We were able to eat in every night and had a very relaxing three days. Thank you for sharing this bit of paradise with us.

What a simply fantastic little cottage, we always look for the unique in our choice of holiday accommodation & have used UTT for some years now with 100% success. Cae Bach certainly didn’t disappoint , a lovely conversion with an excellent interior finish. We were lucky with the weather so were able to enjoy the outdoor spaces just as much. Looking out over Cardigan Bay & the surrounding rolling hills. A perfect week all round with a return booking definitely on the cards.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Cae Bach, what a gem!! We were welcomed on arrival by some lovely treats and the cottage was beautifully presented, clean and we were immediately drawn to the magnificent views. A perfect spot for exploring everything Aberysthwyth had to offer but also perfect for cooking a romantic meal for two and absorbing the surroundings. We didn't want to leave and we'll definitely be back.

We enjoyed a wonderful 3 days at this cosy retreat above Aberystwyth - Coast path nearby and yet only a few minutes from Aberystwyth. We look forward to returning in the future

Cae Bach was an amazing place to stay following our wedding! The location on the outskirts of Aberystwyth combined with stunning views of the countryside and sea offered the best of both worlds. The cottage is a convenient walk into town with great views from the coastal path. We also loved being able to watch the local wildlife from our window. In addition, the cottage has been thoughtfully designed and was spotlessly clean. We would definitely recommend Cae Bach to other guests and hope to return in the future! Thank you!

It is so fantastic at Cae Bach. We love the location and the view. We also love the way the building ha been converted. It's our second stay there. It was really kind of the owners to leave us a welcome pack with some delicious treats and we really appreciated it.

Comfortable, well furnished cottage with fantastic views.

Wonderful break in a delightful cottage. Perfectly situated and the view is stunning!

Cae Bach is a beautifully presented quiet retreat with views of the sea above Aberyswyth. Mmm, warm floors, warm wood burning stove and a walk-in shower. Perfect for relaxing after a day walking the coastal path between New Quay and Aberaeron, or down on the Prom at Aber, or a very chilly cycle along quiet and smooth B roads on New Year's Day. The walk down to town takes about 10 minutes, longer getting back as it's a steep little climb up to the cottage. Exceptionally quiet and not really overlooked, though the only thing I might change is the addition of some curtains / blinds over the windows - I'm a bit paranoid and was a little worried about people with telescopes on boats checking out my yoga moves :-) The dark skies are great for star watching though. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Cae Bach is such a lovely place to stay. The views from the big windows in the living room are stunning in any weather and the house has lots of natural light. The underfloor heating and wood burner kept us nice and warm. We were very comfortable and enjoyed walking along the coastal path to Borth and also down into Aberystwyth from the door. Cae Bach has everything you need for a short break and the house is furnished simply but to a high standard. Thank you to the owners for the treat awaiting us!

Lovely cottage, very cosy and spotlessly clean. Tastefully decorated and fully equipped with everything you need. First class location, feels remote with great views but 10-15 minute walk onto the prom. Would love to return again soon.

Compact, cosy and great views.

Gorgeous place to stay - remote, cosy, peaceful and stylish. An easy walk in to town, or a bit further up the hill to get you gorgeous cliff top views across the sea. You have everything you need in the small kitchen/diner and lounge. The bedroom is small and snug. Can't wait to come back.

Fabulous cottage with everything we needed and more (the treats in the fridge were a lovely surprise). Wonderful location.

What a fantastic place! Beautiful view of the bay, so many birds to spot and minutes from the Ceredigion coastal path.

We had a fantastic time at Cae Bach - great location with amazing views. Luxurious modern accommodation with some great little touches.

What a place! An amazing cottage, with a stunning view. The perfect little bolt-hole for a mini break over Chrimbo-Limbo... The hosts were very helpful when we needed them, but apart from that, left us to enjoy their place... Thank you so much, we would love to come back for longer (ideally in warmer weather!)

Thank you for a wonderful mini break! We came in October for our young son's birthday and had a fantastic time visiting the steam railway, Bwlch Nant forest trail and the butterfly house. Storm Brian paid a visit during our stay but we felt very snug in the cottage and enjoyed listening to the wind and watching the sea... whilst eating fish and chips from the town! The cottage couldn't be more perfect and we would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a holiday in the UK. Thanks again!

Loved our stay at cottage. Has everything you need for a relaxing break away. Aberystwyth has the most amazing views, with the cottage providing both costal and country views. If you want a get away I couldn't think of a more beautiful place to go.

Our 2-week stay at Cae Bach was wonderful and started with a lovely, generous welcome pack from the owners who turned out to be very, very nice! A charming, tastefully decorated place with all you need, even for a long stay. Perfect mix of old and new, great sea views, very quiet, almost secluded, even though it's just a short walk into town. We loved to stay in, watch the birds and look at the sea, but it's a perfect base for exploring the area, go on coastal walks etc. etc. Great restaurants and recommendations by the owners. Would love to come back!

What an amazing place, beautifully designed and delivered on every level. Fully equipped with everything you need. Wonderful spot on top of the hill with views around. Just right for two people, the bedroom is cosy but comfortable and a fully equipment shower room. Loved our stay and would recommend Cae Bach

This is a lovely cottage in a perfect position, with sea and coastline views. It was spotlessly clean and tidy on arrival, with a few provisions in the welcome pack along with a handwritten note from the owner - a nice touch. Everything worked as advertised and the under-floor heating kept the cottage just right for temperature all weekend. The location close to Aberystwyth is perfect for walking into town and taking the cliff railway back up! We will definitely visit again; the proposal of a hot tub as an addition would make this cottage total perfection. Tim & Jackie.

I had an idyllic stay at Cae Bach. It was a weekend of walking along the coastal path, eating ice-cream, drinking wine, eating lovely food, reading, but most of all just sitting and looking at the beautiful view. Real life should be like this!

Everything worked really well. We found the cottage easily and gained entrance as advised. Cae Bach is exceptionally well equipped and comfortable . A really lovely kitchen and shower room with everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and overall the cottage has a fresh, modern feel. We really enjoyed our stay The owners left us a very nice welcome message, a jug of fresh Daffodils and some lovely treats.

Cae Bach is a lovely little bolt hole in a fab location, everything is within easy reach, if you want to venture out and about. We enjoyed our surprise in the fridge a nice little touch which went down a treat whilst lazing around in front of the woodburner. The cottage is well equipped including underfloor heating, cosy and warm we will come back I'm sure, but we are off to Snowdonia National park for our next short break with UTT .

Fantastic cottage. Perfect for couples looking to take a well earned break with the comforts of home at hand.

We had a lovely holiday at Cae Bach. Comfy cosy cottage with everything we needed. Interesting and imaginative restoration of an old agricultural building. Amazing sea and rural views. Thoughtful treats and welcome message from owners waiting for us on arrival which was a lovely surprise. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

A lovely conversion in a lovely spot.Would recommend to anyone wanting a quiet spot but in walking distance of town

If anything the photos don't really do it justice. Extremely well appointed - felt like we were the first guests there- but discovered that the many guests before us all agreed it is a superb cottage in a great location. Hosts were exactly what we love, just a call away when we needed their help, came and sorted our small problem and otherwise we had perfect peace. The only point to mention is, if like me you are a very light sleeper, the sliding doors can be noisy, but all in all it was more than worth it. We will be back.

The cottage is exceptional, simple and uncluttered but not lacking anything and with lots of thoughtful details. We travelled to Aberystwyth by train and it's been a bonus to be able to leave the car at home - the house feels very private and rural but very handy for everything. There are great walks along the coast path that can be accessed by local train or bus and we're already planning a return trip with our bikes. Thank you for a very warm welcome.

We had a wonderful time at Cae Bach. It really is a lovely little place, really quiet and secluded, with amazing views across the hills and out to sea. The décor and layout of the place is really lovely - we really enjoyed getting back there each day after our days sightseeing. It's also well equipped for eating in so we stocked up at the Spanish deli in the town and thoroughly enjoyed staying in. Waking up in the morning was also a real treat - the view whilst eating breakfast outside, and the sound and view of the starlings doing their daily swirl right in front of us was just treat! Hope we'll have a chance to visit again!

Cae Bach is a stunning place to stay in Aberystwyth. The cottage itself is beautifully furnished and the setting is perfect. You have all the advantages of the town including fantastic restaurants and pubs, beaches and historic sites but you can then retreat from the hustle and bustle and relax in an idyllic setting with wonderful views. This is the best place we have stayed in Aberystwyth.

Cae Bach is an excellent holiday cottage, in a beautiful rural location within walking distance of Aberystwyth town. We loved the design of the cottage and the fantastic views over the sea. At dusk we watched bats fly around the garden - easily visible through the huge windows. We'll hopefully be back to stay in Cae Bach again soon - it's lovely!

What a fantastic place to stay! A well needed rest and relaxation break and nowhere better to take the break than Cae Bach. Fabulous views across Cardigan Bay, remote and peaceful location yet within 10 minutes walking of Aberystwyth. Certainly be back to stay there again. Can recommend lazy breakfasts sat outside on sunny days. Will definitely be back very soon for another break.

Cae Bach is a beautifully renovated and enlarged holiday cottage for two, with wonderful views. We had an excellent, peaceful weekend there and only wish it could have been longer. We hope to return!

What a fantastic place!! Cae Bach is a place where you can forget about the stresses of work and just chill in an oasis of calm and beauty. The recent renovation has been done to an extremely high standard with quirky little details that make it special. The outdoor area has such a lovely view of the coast and very comfortable garden chairs/loungers if the weather is kind to you! There are plenty of walks that can be done right from the front door onto the coastal path or down into Aberystwyth for an ice cream. We will definitely be back! Thank you Sion & Meleri

What a delightful cottage! We loved the mixture of new and modern furniture. The fantastic kitchen with the beautiful old stone wall, the spacious lounge with the large windows with the great view over to the sea and the hills and thanks to these windows and the roof windows the cottage is incredibly full of light. Very peaceful and quiet and only 10 minutes walk to Aberystwyth so no need to worry about parking spaces. Lovely walks near the cottage. We loved the Vale of Rheidol Railway to Devil's bridge and Barmouth. The first time we went to Aberystwyth 3 years ago we thought "wouldn't it be nice to book a cottage near this beautiful city?". Thanks to the owners and UTT we had a fantastic week there in a great cottage!

Superb renovation of existing building plus extension to house all mod.cons in a remarkably well-sheltered yet panoramic situation within walking distance of Aberystwyth. We were one of the first guests: everything was to hand. Very tasteful interior. A real safe haven. We felt very much at home. Will certainly revisit.

A great little one-storey cottage for two people, with fantastic views across the fields to Aberystwyth and Cardigan Bay. A very recent and modern conversion-cum-extension of an old agricultural building, with plenty of exposed grey stonework, floor-to-ceiling glass and painted steel roof beams giving the building a clean, light and spacious feel. This feeling is augmented by the brilliant white kitchen area with skylights above and by space-saving sliding doors to the bedroom and its en-suite. If that sounds rather stark, then there are plenty of creature comforts - books, TV, excellent wifi connection and, if the weather permits, beautiful outdoor furniture. Lots of personal touches too - pictures of the cottage pre-conversion, jars of tea & filter coffee, a pot of very good local honey.
