Description from owner

Description

Self catering holiday cottage on a tranquil smallholding near the coast at Aberystwyth. We take pride in the fact that our cottages are comfortable, spacious, stylish and clean and we look forward to offering you a warm Welsh welcome. Set in a delightful natural location with a stream and overlooking lush meadows. The Cambrian Mountains and unspoiled river valleys are only a short drive away or why not enjoy a trip on a narrow gauge railway instead. Activities such as horse riding, cycling, swimming, sailing, walking, golf and fishing are all available on the doorstep.

The sea can be viewed from the gate through the lush meadow and visitors are welcome to enjoy the surrounding areas of the small holding.

“Beautiful place to stay.”

Reviewed 21 Aug 2021

We had a fantastic holiday here. Myself, my wife, teenage son and two Yorkies will definitely return here. The cottage is spacious, spotlessly clean, the furnishings are extremely comfortable. Everything you could possibly need is there. A lot of thought has gone into making this a truly enjoyable & peaceful place to stay, my only regret is that we didn’t book to stay longer.

“Beautiful cottage in peaceful surroundings”

Reviewed 1 May 2021

I stayed here for three nights and loved Derwen Cottage! It's very well equipped and comfortable, with great wifi. Although it's only a few minutes' drive from Aberystwyth the house is surrounded by hills and fields and it's so peaceful. Marilyn could not have been more helpful and friendly, and I'd love to go back.

“First class accommodation, secluded and picturesque rural setting.”

Reviewed 13 Oct 2020

Doleos holiday cottage is ideal in every sense for a get-away-from-it-all stay. The accommodation is very spacious, modern, extremely comfortable, scrupulously clean, with all household amenities. The setting is idyllic, with hillside views, and a fast running stream near-by. Within a short drive Mid-Wales beckons, offering coastal towns, beaches, cliff top walks, mountain and countryside walks, waterfalls, castles, and so much more.

“Stunning views and peaceful stay”

Reviewed 22 Aug 2020

We had a lovely stay. The dog-friendly cottage was well equipped with super comfortable sofas and bed. The views from the living room and bedroom windows of sprawling countryside were stunning, with sheep and cows roaming the fields and beautiful greenery. You really get a sense of getting back to nature. It was so tranquil with the sound of the river nearby. You nearly forget you’re about 10 minutes drive from Aberystwyth town centre. Our hostess, Marilyn, was very friendly and welcomed us with a few treats. The check-in and check-out were seamless. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a few days country retreat.

Rabbits, hares, voles, pheasants and all sorts of other critters as well as Red Kites, woodpeckers and a host of various birds are making this their home. Thank you

A lovely peaceful retreat but with a short hop to Aberystwyth if required.
