  • "What a fantastic place to stay for a few days to explore Cardigan Bay or just relax in the birdsong and sunshine and enjoy the woodland walks."

    The dogs loved it even more than me! The hut itself is cleverly designed and very thoughtfully and tastefully styled and equipped. Will definitely be back.

    Thank you for your great review James and Chris and I are glad that you, Milly and Bailey enjoyed your stay. Hopefully look forward to welcoming you all back soon. Property Owner

The property

Llanarth 1.3 miles; New Quay 4 miles; Aberaeron 4.5 miles.

Collen is one of three lovely shepherd's huts in the tranquil countryside of Oakford near Llanarth, close to the countryside and coast of Ceredigion.

Ideal for couples, this quaint hideaway accepts two well-behaved pets and provides a peaceful haven amidst the splendour of surrounding province.

The open-plan living space that greets you has been carefully designed to maximise ease and relaxation.

You can prepare your meals in the kitchen and then enjoy them at the dining table as you make plans for the day's activities.

From here, you can curl up in front of the TV while the wood-burning stove keeps you toasty.

When it's time to wind down, the king-size bed invites you to doze off with a design that blends in with the surrounding countryside.

The adjoining shower room provides an elegant and modern area to freshen up every morning.

Head outside to the enclosed gravel area where you can enjoy your evenings roasting marshmallows over the fire pit/barbecue while exchanging stories.

In addition to the lawned area adding a touch of greenery to this quaint retreat, the outdoor furniture makes the ideal spot for alfresco dining or morning coffees.

Explore nearby Aberaeron, a gorgeous 19th century harbourside town with its famous multi-coloured Georgian houses all lining along the seafront.

If you continue along the coast to bustling New Quay, you can tuck into local cuisine at a range of independent cafes and eateries and hop on board a boat trip out to see the resident bottle nosed dolphins in the Bay, before enjoying a calming amble along New Quay Harbour.

A drive further north will take you to Aberystwyth, with its picture perfect Victorian promenade and magical views of Cardigan Bay from atop Constitution Hill.

Collen is a wonderful retreat amid the colorful landscape of Ceredigion's picture-perfect countryside.

Note: This property can be booked with refs. 1023892 and 1155156, sleeping up to 6 guests.
