  • "The cottage was in a great location, practically on the beach, and in a very pleasant village."

    The shower was very good and the sofa and twin beds comfy. However, the kitchen was too cramped to be very practical, the windows upstairs were rusty and unclean and not to be opened, and the 'utility room' beyond the kitchen was unpleasant with a small freezer, microwave and a dogbowl. The door out to here from the kitchen was of a very restricted height and required some padding to prevent banged and cut heads!. The wallpaper was coming off the wall at the bottom of the stairs, and the stick-on tiles on the window ledge were all peeling off so it all needed redecorating. The cottage is painted a nice bright yellow, but the outside area needs tidying up and seems very neglected, with broken slabs and a broken chair. We enjoyed sitting outside seeing the lovely views, but felt the garden area could have been so much better with some attention and care to make it a better experience for holiday makers. Inside downstairs felt very gloomy and in need of refurbishment and restyling, but the cottage could be a lovely holiday home if improvements are made.

  • "It was a lovely stay at your property."

    It would be nice to have a view from the windows on the sea but anyway it was just right. It is a bit of damp on the walls especially in the ground floor bedroom.

The property

Glan Y Mor is a rustic seaside retreat on the Cardigan Bay shoreline at Borth, near Aberystwyth.

One of the few remaining 18th century fisherman's cottages, it comes with thick stone walls, low ceilings, quirky features and bags of character.

With its patio leading directly on to the beach and offering stunning sea views, this coastal cottage welcomes two well-behaved pets, has a cot, Smart TV and provides off-road parking for one car.

It’s perfect for couples, families or friends.

Upon entering the cottage, from the rear there is a useful porch/utility room housing a freezer and a microwave, there is also space for coats or wet suits.

This leads through to the small well equipped kitchen, where you can rustle up home-cooked meals to be enjoyed in the living/dining room or outside on the patio.

The living dining room has a beamed ceiling, comfy seating, woodburning stove and a Smart TV, creating a cosy atmosphere for those chillier Winter evenings.

There is a ground floor king-size bedroom, and upstairs is a twin bedroom and a child's bunk bed room, both featuring Velux windows and sloping ceilings, adding a special charm to these practical sleeping quarters.

The property has a shower room, equipped with a walk-in shower, basin and WC as well as Velux window allowing natural light to flood in.

Outside, the rear patio opens directly onto the beach.

There is a table and chairs for alfresco dining or simply taking in the views of Cardigan Bay.

There is also a handy outdoor shower to wash away any sand after a day on the beach.

Further afield and set amongst the Cambrian Mountains is the awe-inspiring sight of Devil's Bridge Waterfalls, a spot sure to be a hit with photographers with its breathtaking cascades providing the perfect backdrop.

It can be approached by the popular Vale of Rheidol Valley steam railway which begins and ends its journey in the bustling town of Aberystwyth.

Here you can take a delightful ride on the Aberystwyth Cliff Railway, promising panoramic views of the town and the beautiful coastline beyond.

History enthusiasts should pay a visit to the remains of the 13th-century castle on the promenade or to the grandeur that is the National Library of Wales.

For those seeking to stretch their legs, why not take in Pen Dinas Hill Fort for another fabulous vista of the town and coastline.

After fun-packed days discovering the local attractions and history of mid-Wales, look forward to returning for a relaxing evening at Glan Y Mor, your coastal haven.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
