about the property

One of the few Welsh holiday cottages by NT Penbryn beach, looking down to the sea and Cardigan Bay…simply one of the best Ceredigion holiday cottages and amazing value for a family summer beach holiday.

Penbryn beach is famous for being one of the few wide, sandy beaches in the UK to have not a single building on it. For this reason it has been used in a few films, including providing tropical beach scenes for a James Bond movie. It is one of the longest stretches of unspoilt sand in Cardigan Bay, yet often one of the quietest. A couple of fields back you'll find a small smattering of traditional properties, but as the surrounding land is all owned by the National Trust there isn't a sense of 'coastal development'. It'll take you ten minutes to walk down the well-maintained footpath to the sands from Penbont - a charming traditional stone cottage with 10 acres of private meadow and woodland.

The house was recently redecorated and the lovely garden is (as ever!) a work in progress, but really this one is more about the location than the interior 'wow'. The surrounding fields have plenty of wildflowers and wildlife, and a short walk up the lane you will find St. Michaels Church, one of the oldest churches in Wales - with lovely views across the valley and back to Penbont.

customer reviews for Penbont

Such a lovely comfortable cosy cottage and perfectly placed near lots of beaches and the wonderful Plump Tart Cafe. Highlights included swimming at Aberporth, Pizzas at the Pizza Tipi in Cardigan, the sunsets on the beaches and watching the night sky - truly amazing in this part of the world.

Lovely cottage close enough for even our little ones to walk to the fantastic beach. Well equipped with everything we needed. Comfortable and cosy.

- Ann R,

From start to finish the whole experience was a positive one. Very clean House. Booking easy, check in & arrival easy, check out easy. Coastal path walks hard, leaving West Wales hard! Fantastic Location. Many very quiet coves, cliff top views some of the best. Nature. Wow. Dolphins, seals and birds. Visit. But not the third week in July as we want to ! :)

We had a brilliant stay at Penbont. The house is lovely, and the walks to the beach are idyllic. Would definitely recommend the Plump Tart cafe - they weren't open when we stayed but we're more than willing to provide us with a take away birthday afternoon tea which was delightful.

Yet another fantastic stay at this wonderful cottage in the most beautiful part of Wales!

Penbont was the perfect place for our holiday, with everything we needed to be comfortable and relaxed. On the hottest day of the year we were content to stay put, finding cool spots all around the cottage and the beautiful garden. At night the sound of the sea lulled us to sleep and in the day the beach was only a stroll away. It was also a huge relief to find a house that is completely pet-free as two of us suffer allergies! Thankyou for a truly restful break :))

- Joanna stone ,

Wonderful cottage, witha beautiful garden and very well equipped for all your needs. We felt super relaxed, it was so quiet we had amazing sleep! The cottage is just a short walk to the most beautiful beach, with a delicious cafe on the way for a coffee and ice cream stop. We will definitely be back! x

We love this location- it is our third stay- a short walk to a lovely sandy beach with caves and river- perfect for a day with kids. And in the evening you can sit on the garden seat and watch the sun set over the hill. The terraced garden is lovely with lots of room for hide and seek.

- Julia brooker ,

Excellent accommodation in a lovely areally with easy walking access to the wonderfully unspoilt beach if Penbryn The cottage garden is a delight and so peaceful.A marvellous retreat to unwind and enjoy the sounds of nature.

This cottage provided a first-rate base in every respect - quiet, except for the welcome sound of birdsong - well equipped - perfect location for the beach and all other features of Ceredigion coast. We're already planning a return to Penbont! Michael Tavinor, Tim Bridges

Lovely, well equipped cottage - and such a treat to be able to walk straight from the cottage to Penbryn beach or on to the coast path.

An excellent weekend away. Penbont is superb. Clean and contemporary furnishings within a cosy Welsh cottage. Penbryn beach a mere stroll away and Llangrannog and Mwnt not too far either. We will be back!

- Richard B,

We had a really lovely stay. It was the perfect location and we were very comfortable there.

This cottage truly is a gem - we had the most wonderful week there. The house is surprisingly spacious for a cottage, which made is really cosy. the furnishings and decoration are lovely, the kitchen well equipped, and the bedrooms very comfortable. We loved the location, the garden, and the vicinity of the Plymp Tart cafe. Worth mentioning that our toddler also had the best of times, and was very upset the we had to give up "our holiday house" after a week. We will be coming back.

- Milena B,

We had a fantastic week in this very well equipped and comfortable cottage. The location is amazing, being only 10 minutes walk from Penbryn beach. We did a couple of walks along the coastal path to Llangrannog and Tresaith and got the very handy coastal bus back. The sofas in the lounge are big and comfy. We lit the woodburner stove every evening, ( even though it was August! ). The garden is beautiful. We sat outside in the evening watching the sun go down and the bats flying around us. We felt so privileged, watching the visitors to Penbryn leaving in the evening, and we got to stay! We would love to come and stay here again. Thank you. The Roberts family.

Penbont is such a beautiful cottage! It was the perfect setting for a really fab long weekend celebrating hubby's 40th birthday with the kids. Everything was super clean, and all utensils were thoughtfully provided. The location is stunning, with beach being so close. We got to the property very late on the Friday night and the owner had kindly arranged for the lights to be put on ready. We bundled the kids into bed and sat outside listening to the sea whilst bats flew around us. Magical. Thank you, we will be back soon!

Fabulous cottage in a wonderful location. Super comfortable beds and sofas and a very efficient wood-burner (can't say the same for the range, though, which chewed through logs like an Australian forest fire and didn't retain heat for very long!). The "local" pub is a fantastic coast path walk - however, cyclists be warned that the climb back from there is granny gear for a mile! All in all a really chilled break and we're already looking for dates to return.

We had such a fantastic long weekend at Penbont. The cottage itself is cosy and comfortable and the location is just stunning. We abandoned the car to play on the beach and walk the coastal path in both directions. The pop up pizza night at the cafe a few moments from our front door was a very welcome surprise - loads of fun and fabulous pizza. The kids had great fun hunting for Easter eggs around the pretty garden and playing Jenga by the fire.

We enjoyed a truly relaxing week at Penbont. The house is comfortable and well equipped, with lovely gardens and in an exceptional location. The magnificent views from the coastal path are within a short walk, so is the beautiful beach at Penbryn. Lovely!

Beautiful location and we found the cottage very comfortable with character by the bucketful. A highlight was eating in the lovely garden while red kites soared overhead and two bluetits busily fed their brood in the outbuilding. Penbryn beach was a short stroll away and on a late return we saw hundreds of bats flying from their Llanborth roost, before darkness brought a spectacular starry night sky. We hope to return.

Loved our time at Penbont. Such quietness, peace and tranquillity. House is well equipped and very tastefully furnished. Garden a delight for sitting out on an early summer evening. Nearby beach is splendid and coastal path very much worth the effort just to see so many wild flowers close to and dolphins down in the sea. Lots to see and do in the surrounding area and good places nearby to eat, drink and buy provisions. Great place to stay for nature, beauty and solitude.

Another wonderful stay at Penbont. The location and house itself are the best we've ever stayed in - which is why this was our 4th visit in 2 years! The beaches on this coast line are superb.

The cottage was lovely, really well appointed and secluded, down a country lane, but close to the beach. We had a lovely time and I would certainly be happy to visit here again...great views of the stars, no light or noise pollution.

- Paul B,

Penbont ... A beautiful cottage, we all had a fab weekend, everything you could ever need and very clean and comfortable. Lovely garden. Stunning beach down the lane. Definately a favourite place ! Thankyou Morgans family

Lovely 4 days, weather was fantastic, great walk to the beach, seals one day, dolphins another - if we had stayed longer who knows ! Very comfortable house, garden ... have to say it again but it was lovely - great place to sit , read & ponder

- Judy L,

We had such a lovely holiday at Penbont - the cottage is beautiful and is in a truly wonderful setting. We were blessed with better weather than expected and took full advantage. We spotted dolphins on a walk to nearby Llangrannog, and saw seals at Mwnt bay and every day we got to come home to this lovely cottage - all in all, a gorgeous week in Penbryn!

- Erica R,

A lovely, cosy cottage, tastefully decorated with nice quirky, personal touches. The garden is a beautiful bonus, private, tranquil and gloriously scented. We only left the garden to take a 10 minute stroll to the stunning Penbryn beach. A wonderful holiday.

This is our 3rd stay at beautiful Penbont and will certainly not be our last. This lovely cottage is situated in the most stunning part of West Wales, close to the glorious beach and lovely walks. The gardens at the cottage are lovely to sit out in, and so peaceful. Thank you to the owners of this cottage, it's a dream! You could never get bored with staying here. Can't wait to return. This is a truly special place and one of my most favourite places ever.

"We have spent four fantastic days in this beautiful little cottage. Went for many great walks and saw dolphins while we were on Penbryn beach...so lucky to have the sea just down the lane." ~ Dana and Joe Jacomb from Wiltshire
