George

“A wonderful place to stay in Cwmtydu. Great opportunities to enjoy the outdoors and to come back and relax in a really flexible space. Perfect for large groups, kids and getting away from the crowds.

Shoulun

“We loved our stay here. Loads of space for everyone to spend time together. The local beach is a very short walk away. We’d definitely go again. Communication from the host has been great.”

Dafydd, 2023

Perfect for a large group with dogs. Fantastic facilities kept everyone comfortable even through torrential rain. Dolphin spotting in New Quay, children swimming with a seal in the bay, wood-fired pizzas from Llangrannog, and a host and neighbour who went above and beyond.

Stuff Their Eyes With Wonder, June 2023

A quirky, brilliant mix of glamping and bunkhouse, made from upcycled shipping containers, minutes from a picturesque cove with spectacular sunsets. The communal spaces are outstanding, the coastal path is on the doorstep, and the whole place can be hired exclusively for twelve.

Luke, 2023

Chosen over Munich for a post-wedding celebration — and it delivered. A brilliantly kitted-out, unique space right beside Cwmtydu beach, with coastal paths from the door. Sunshine throughout sealed a stay the whole group loved, and every one of them would return.

Melanie, August 2020

A minute’s walk from a smugglers’ cove where seals swim alongside you. Brilliant for children, with a river beach, surf, bodyboards, kayak and life jackets all included. Warm, well-equipped and comfortable for three families, with New Quay, Aberaeron and Aberporth all within easy reach
