Luxury self-catering accommodation in Ceredigion
Covering a sweeping crescent halfway up the west coast of Wales, this county is the perfect base for a romantic self-catering holiday beside the sea.
Backed by the Cambrian Mountains with Aberystwyth to the north and Cardigan to the south, Ceredigion was the rich landscape that once inspired Dylan Thomas to write his most celebrated works whilst he lived in New Quay. With its charming harbours, sandy beaches and meandering coastal paths, Ceredigion attracts visitors all year round. Aberystwyth is perfect for historians: its castle, an old ruin rising up out of the sea, makes for a great day exploring the majestic stone walls.
Aberystwyth also houses Ceredigion Museum and its wide range of artefacts, from tiny sailor-carved shells to a reconstruction of a 19th-century room. New Quay is the place to head for an old-fashioned seaside vibe. Once a busy fishing port, the town still sees boats coming and going all year round and trips out to spot the resident bottlenose dolphins are one of the pulls for guests seeking wildlife activity. For twitchers, it's RSPB Ynyshyr nature reserve, home to lapwings, redshanks and acres of peaceful grassland.
