Great accommodation - lovely house, lovely enclosed garden with views onto river right in the centre of Cardigan AND with parking for 2 cars - a real find! Thank you Susie for a great stay.
We had a lovely time in this charming house in Cardigan.The house was spacious,comfortable,plenty of parking & in a quiet convenient location.We enjoyed our stay & would highly recommend. Thanks to Susie & neighbour Sarah for all your help & we would look forward to returning one day.
Although the weather wasn't always on our side we had a fantastic stay. Suzie's house is beautiful - a lovely mix of cottage a new - with a large light and airy kitchen, great size bedrooms and modern shower and bathrooms. We had everything we needed. The house is just a stones throw away from cardigan centre, and is a great base for exploring the nearby coast.

Light, bright spacious kitchen dining area. Good sized bedrooms. Lovely open living area with comfy sofas. The garden is a bonus for drying wetsuits or, more importantly, sitting out in of an evening with a beer or two. The property has its own parking area alongside the house, separate from the car park, which you wouldn’t know was there without looking. A really quiet area within 2 minutes stroll the town centre.
Perfect place for a relaxed holiday with amenities nearby
This is a great place for a holiday. There is everything you need. The house easily held 7 of us, including 3 teenagers. There is a lovely mix of modern and cottage style. The location is fantastic, with Cardigan a really short walk. But it's also really quiet and tucked away. To add to this, the owner's communication went above and beyond what I would have expected. We loved our week here and didn't want to leave. I would go back without hesitation.
This villa is a treasure in Cardigan, located along the scenic Teifi river bank .. and free car park. All amenities, cooking . bathroom and sleeping are thoughtfully provided . Sunny sheltered rear patio and garden. Clear instructions and communications from Susie. Easy walking distance ( 10 mins ) to Cardigan restaurants and pubs . Stunning walk along cliff tops at Gwber / Golf course hotel ... don,t miss it. Thanks Susie fro a memorable family gathering location
Excellent location for exploring Cardigan and the surrounding area. Thankful for the old stone walls keeping the house cool during the hottest week of the year! The kitchen equipment could be extended, not enough glasses, non stick frying pan, champagne cork, and baking trays/roasting pans, coffee machine. For the price we paid we had expected a welcome basket and at least a coffee pod/ machine. The cottage doesn’t supply towels which is unusual but we were aware before, and still forgot them! But there is an excellent Factory shop in town.

Sara many thanks for your review. You were so lucky with the weather it's true! Especially as we moved your booking from July 2020 to July 2021 at no extra cost to accommodate your family Covid issue. We held the 2020 price for you so rest assured, you got a bargain! Happy to do this and glad you were grateful. We followed the guidance on Covid measures from the Welsh Government - this meant that no towels or food were to be provided, as stated on the website and in an email. However there are 3 cafetiere's in the kitchen to make coffee. Happy you enjoyed the area - especially the vineyard in Hebron thanks for the tip!
Susie’s house is homely, comfortable, characterful and perfectly big enough for 7 of us over 3 generations and in a brilliant quiet, central location, so we didn’t feel we had to get in the car all the time.
We love Cardigan and the area - the weather was pretty rubbish for July/August but we all agreed Susie’s house was the best place you would want to be stuck indoors on a rainy summer’s day! Plenty of great places to eat in Cardigan (Copper Pot, Print Works especially) and loads of fab day trips within really easy reach - waterfalls, Mwnt, Penbryn, Poppit Sands, Teifi marshes (easy walk along the tow path), dolphin watching from New Quay, seal spotting at Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park. We all had a really lovely relaxing time. And although we didn’t have our dogs with us this time, the garden is lovely and would be secure for most dogs (except those who would choose to leap over 4 foot solid walls!)
Thanks Susie, we’ll definitely be back :-)
Beautiful! Great facilities, especially suited for families with older children. Open stairs not good for very young children I'd say. Centrally located and benefiting from being close by to lots of cafes, restaurants, pubs etc but also a very quiet end of town next to the river. Lovely walk to the wildlife centre and Poppit Sands is a 10 minute drive. The best beach ever for soft buttery sand and no rocks or stones. We enjoyed a lovely swim here. The cottage was a lovely base for us benefitting from both the old stone cottage and modern aspects of an extension with a lovely modern kitchen and bathrooms. Beds were comfy and we all felt recharged after out stay. Only grumble was that we forgot to bring bathroom towels so had to nip to Tesco for some. We were warned but forgot them. So much to do and see in the area. Susie's cottage was a perfect base for us. We would definitely return!
We loved the house and its location - very handy for Cardigan shops, pubs and so on.
Well equipped, with a lovely light kitchen/dining/living area at the back, and a cosy living room in front. The only problem was that noise from the TV and conversation kept people awake in the 2 bedrooms above the living room, when they wanted an early night.

Cardigan Bay Cottage
The Cottage was advertised as having 2 Bathrooms , a Dryer, a King size bed in the 2 nd bedroom upstairs. The Cottage only has 1 Bathroom with a toilet upstairs, No Dryer - a clothes horse , the bed is a Double.
It is spacious in an excellent location. The kitchen is fairly new as is the Bathroom unfortunately this was let down by the cleanliness of the place. On the surface it did look clean but there were thick cobwebs/dirt everywhere & crumbs & dead flies under the microwave. There was a musty smell. The light shades over the island in the kitchen were particularly dirty . The side /top of the Freezer was very dirty . The Cooker Hood was thick with dirt . We did speak to the Owner who did send in the cleaner but she didn’t clean thoroughly This did spoil our holiday we were there for 2 wks, in the end I did some cleaning . But pulling all the hairs from the bath plug hole & finding a dirty sock & used tissues under the beds was the final straw we left early.
I did speak to the Owner who apologised etc but didn’t offer any refund, we did pay a lot of money to stay here . I believe we are still waiting for a breakages refund ?

Thank you for your 3 star review. We're glad you enjoyed the location of the house despite the weather being very mixed, with a lot of rain and your decision to leave the day before.
I understand from my housekeeper, before you arrived, it had been a stressful time for you, as you thought you might have to cancel your holiday, as your dog was unwell, so we were pleased you were able to get to Cardigan.
I contacted you on your 6th day - Thursday, to check all was going well, when you told me that the cleaning was not to your liking or standard.
I apologised and sent my cleaner in, and would have done so earlier, if you'd raised it with me.
We were mystified by the 'musty smell' we haven't had that feedback before.
After the cleaner came in, you texted me to say that "two Joules Limited edition jumpers were missing from your bedroom" . I asked the cleaner about this, which caused a lot of distress.
You told me that the cleanliness and "more seriously the mysterious disappearance of your jumpers" had ruined your holiday.
However when you got home, you texted again, to apologise, to say you had found your jumpers in your luggage after all.
For clarity, I have spoken to VRBO.
On the listing box, I ticked 'clothes dryer' that I interpreted as a 'clothes horse' & also ticked washing machine. This translated as 'washer/dryer' on the listing. I have now corrected this misreading, to a Bosch washing machine. The 2 bathroom descriptions, are fully outlined on the listing.
The bed description should read as a King size bed, not a Superking bed, apologies for this error & has been adjusted.
The day after you arrived back home, I called and spoke to both you and your husband and the issue of compensation didn't arise.
Wishing you both well.
Great location close to centre and just a short 10 min drive to a really nice beach. Garden is fully enclosed which was great for our dog to run around in. Well equipped kitchen too. Would highly recommend a meal at the copper pot and the Mexican takeaway and Crwst for brunch. Had a really enjoyable stay.
This property is well situated, so close to the town but the area is so quiet and tranquil where the house is. We visited lot's of places around Cardigan which was easy to find because we were central to all the places we wanted to visit. Really was a great holiday and would definitely visit again. The house was spacious and well equipped, great for families.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this delightful town cottage. The large, modern kitchen extension was just perfect for our group of 7. It was bright and warm and very well equipped. The bathroom with shower/bath was also clean and modern. We really enjoyed exploring the local area from this very comfortable base.
Quiet yet just couple mins walk to centre of Cardigan, lovely clean house
Great experience, host so helpful! Couldnt have done more for us, was fab, and beautifully clean house. Great sunny garden and new kitchen-diner extension, v spacious master bedroom, all in a tucked away little stone fronted terrace. Loved putting our kayak on the river just over the wall of the back garden, and walking to have great craft beer and fab pizza at Pizzatipi. The Mexican street food takeaway is also fab, just 5 mins walk away. Easy to drive all along coastal path and to beaches. Recommend a stay here.
Lovely property, excellent communication, great location

Gelungener Aufenthalt in hübschen Haus
Ein kleines gemütliches Haus mit ruhigem Garten. Die Vermieterin war super nett. Sie gab uns Tipps für schöne Ausflüge - der Mwnt-Strand ist traumhaft - und erkundigte sich oft, ob alles in Ordnung sei. Vor Ort ist ebenfalls ein netter Ansprechpartner. Cardigan ist ein hübscher kleiner Ort mit netten Geschäften und guten Restaurants. Wir haben viele Ausflüge in auch in andere Orte unternommen. Auch Tenby war wunderschön. Nach einer Woche wurde die Bettwäsche gewechselt und ein "kleiner" Hausputz vorgenommen. Einziger kleiner Nachteil waren die Matrazen im unteren Schlafzimmer, sie sollten/könnten erneuert werden. Ansonsten war alles geschmackvoll und sauber eingerichtet.

A small cozy house with a quiet garden. The landlady was super nice. She gave us tips for nice trips - the Mwnt beach is fantastic - and often inquired if everything was in order. On site is also a nice contact person. Cardigan is a nice little place with nice shops and good restaurants. We have many excursions in also in other places undertaken. Tenby was also beautiful. After a week the linens were changed and a "small" house cleaning done. Only small drawback were the mattresses in the lower bedroom, they should / could be renewed. Otherwise, everything was tastefully and cleanly furnished.

Quiet hideaway close to lovely coastline
We were 4 adults plus infant. Lots of space for a family holiday, all the rooms were comfortable with contemporary decoration. Very little noise from the town yet shops were just 2 minutes walk away. Behind the house is an enclosed garden (toddler safe) and beyond that a small car park and green space by the river...lovely for a stroll to see ducks, waders and grebe. Cut through church and cross river to reach nature reserve with waders, kingfishers and much more. We had a restful time in and around the house, and had easy access to Mwnt, Poppit and Newport beaches. A wonderful break.

So glad you had a wonderful break and enjoyed the nature reserve. I'd like to add there is an excellent Wildlife Centre also with ongoing events for adults and children and a very good cafe, reasonably priced.
You can also hire canoes and enjoy the gorge and wildlife on the river.

About the host
Hosted by Susie Fugle
My Grandmother moved into the house in 1927, my father was born here and we enjoyed many family holidays in the house. It was a fascinating place to visit as a child. Granny cooked in the Inglenook fireplace, with the cold water tap outside the back door and loo at the bottom of the garden. Dad hired a black & white TV to watch the 1966 World Cup Final. Good investment it turned out! The renown surrounding beaches & countryside are a short drive away taking you to the Teifi Estuary & Poppet Sands & beaches at Mwnt, Penbryn, Tresaith, Llangranogg, Aberporth & Newport Sands. There is an 18 hole golf course at Gwbert opposite Cardigan Island. For walkers the Ceredigion & Pembrokeshire Coastal Paths are nearby. You can of course, just take it easy & enjoy the large back garden & look out at the River Teifi & watch the boats, canoes & birds go by.
Why they chose this property
The house is in a peaceful location tucked away in between St Mary's Church & the River Teifi in the oldest part of Cardigan. It has an old cottage feel with thick stone walls & wooden beams with a modern extension at the back. The house is in a very handy location for longer day trips into Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion.
What makes this property unique
The house has a relaxed atmosphere & is in a very peaceful setting with many practical amenities close by within walking distance. The surrounding countryside & beaches, Poppit Sands, Tresaith, Llangranogg, Penbryn & Mwnt are within a few miles, offering lovely sandy beaches, coastal walks and nice cafes . Within walking or cycling distance from the house is the Welsh Wildlife Centre within the Teifi Marshes Nature Reserve, with nearby Cilgerran Castle. A short walk uptown is Cardigan Castle with tours & live shows & Theatre Mwldan for movies & live performances. Also for shops, cafes and restaurants.
Up the road next to St Dogmaels Abbey on Tuesday morning (10-1pm) is the wonderful (BBC Food & Farming Award 2016 Winners): St Dogmaels Local Producers Market. Also close by Glebelands Market Garden (Thurs-Sunday) for home grown fresh produce. Pembrokeshire Fish Week: June/July New Quay Music Festival: August Cardigan River & Food Festival: August Ceredigion Walking Festival in September
