  • "The cottage was extemely clean and well maintained."

    It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Thank you.

  • "Lovely cottage in a great location."

    Exactly as in pictures, correction - better than the pictures actually. All the little touches made it extra welcoming. The pool area was fabulous, a real sun trap - and despite us being exceptionally lucky with the weather, it could easily be used on a cold wet day as well. We made use of the games room, despite being a middle ages couple with no kids in tow! Great night.

    Games Room a big hit with hubby. Would highly recommend and would love to return and stay in another one of the cottages on site.

  • "Great cottage, fitting 5 people around the table was a bit of a squeeze for dinner."

    The outside play area, pool, table tennis and chess were great, the only downside was the requirement to pay for all games room activities.

Canllefaes Holiday Cottages

Cardigan 3.3 miles. A cluster of seven former farm buildings make up this welcoming and comfortable group of properties, set amongst slightly undulating, landscaped gardens. These delightful properties are set back, down a short lane yet close to the main coast road, on the edge of Penparc village and less than three miles from the popular market town of Cardigan. These superb holiday cottages have been transformed from their original use and have been lovingly furnished with a view, making your stay as relaxing as it can be. All cottages offer well-equipped kitchens, welcoming sitting areas, woodburning stoves (except for Pen-y-Bryn and Byre) and WiFi, plus three even boast the added luxury of a private hot tub. Great care has been taken to accommodate people with varying needs, with five of the properties being on one level and two have been furnished for guests with limited mobility. All cottages have shared use of an inviting outdoor heated swimming pool available from the start of May until mid-September, as well as communal lawned grounds, BBQ area, a play field, children’s play area and a laundry room with use of two washing machines and a tumble dryer. The village of Penparc has two petrol stations, both with a small shop and off licence, plus these rural cottages benefit from being surrounded by the stunning West Wales countryside, with the nearby town of Cardigan providing shops, pubs, restaurants and a ruined castle, and Cardigan Bay has small harbour towns and National Trust owned beaches. A short drive away is the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, with its stunning sandy beaches and the wonderful Preseli Mountains. With many places to visit, there’s plenty of choice when planning your fabulous days out in West Wales. Canllefaes Holiday Cottages is a perfect group of cottages, ideal for couples, families, friends, or groups to get away from it all, but be within a short drive from the coast and beautiful sandy beaches.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
