View Self-Catering Holiday Cottages in Ceredigion

The coastal county of Ceredigion is perfect for seaside cottage holidays. The county has miles of golden sandy, award-winning beaches, rocky coves and tiny ports. Aberaeron Harbour is regarded as one of the prettiest seaside towns on the coast of Wales, with quaint pubs and cafes lining the harbour edge. The little town’s charming holiday homes make it a must-visit resort for those who love the sea. Enjoy inland walks, narrow-gauge steam train rides, cycling in unspoiled countryside, and mountain walks. Boat trips are very popular along this West Wales coast, where there’s even a chance you’ll see bottlenose dolphins in their natural habitat at New Quay.

A hot tub beneath a glass roof sits on a wooden deck next to two sun loungers.

Wales’s largest and award-winning arts centre, the Aberystwyth Arts Centre, is in Ceredigion. The Arts Centre is widely recognised as a national flagship for the arts. The centre presents all arts, including drama, dance, music, film, new media, and community arts, making it an ideal place for a family day trip. Aberystwyth is also home to a cliff railway that offers a birds-eye view of thousands of square miles of land and seascape and a vastly different perspective of Ceredigion. If steam trains are more your thing, The Vale of Rheidol Railway runs from Aberystwyth to The Devils Bridge and taking a walk along the nature trail reveals spectacular 300ft waterfalls.

For literary and history lovers, The National Library of Wales is a grand building with the aim of collecting every book, photograph, film and piece of music made in the country. The library accommodates visitors with constant guided tours and all materials accessible. The Cambrian Mountains offer an ideal playground for those more interested in outdoor activities, such as mountain bikers and walkers, of which there are several designated trails for each. A café and two children’s play areas sit out of the way, overlooking the peaceful nearby lake.

Ceredigion on the West Coast of Wales offers an excellent choice of family-friendly country and coastal cottage holidays. Apart from seeing the incredible bottlenose dolphins in the sea near New Quay, there is also a vast range of birds to watch in the county while staying in a holiday cottage in Ceredigion. One of the significant RSPB reserves, the Ynyshir Nature Reserve, lies near the market town of Machynlleth, where plenty of birds can be seen from the observation hides. Llanerchaeron, an 18th Welsh gentry estate near Aberaeron, is owned by the National Trust and is now a working farm with extensive walks around the estate and parkland, ideal for families.
