  • "Good value accommodation."

    Plenty of space for the four of us. Busy main road was never an issue. Very handy garage and convenience store just down the road. Pebble beach a two minute drive away. Three nights of the week the hot water ran out which had corrected itself by morning. Might want looking at. Overall very satisfied.

  • "No DVD player, no terrestrial tv channels, there is a smart tv with other options but limited."

    There is a lack of pans (no frying pan), crockery and glasses look in need of replacement lots of missing pieces and some cracks and chips. The bedrooms would benefit from blackout blinds and all windows adjusting so the seals fitted this would reduce the road noise. The cottage is very spacious and clean and did what we wanted for our week. The beds were very comfortable with good quality bedding. We had a lovely comfortable week.

  • "Very mis-leading information."

    The cottage is hardly 'set back' off the road. It is on a busy main road & the road noise is constant day & night. The garden is to the side of the property & not enclosed. The view from the back is a 6ft fence. House is dated & requires some improvement work. However, beds are comfortable if not creaky & soft towels are provided. Cleaning could be better. Didn't want to use cupboards. Village is pretty & a good base to get about from. Have stayed in much nicer properties with Sykes.

  • "Lovely cottage with beautiful view from the back of the cottage."

    We had a relaxing holiday here with lovely local walks. It is situated close enough to visit other towns and villages by car. The cottage had everything we needed for a relaxing break.

  • "We had a fabulous holiday, cottage was exceptionally clean, lots of extras, & great amenities and very spacious."

    Comfy beds, excellent shower and great WiFi My only disappointment was the location. When you click on the cottage the second photo is a beautiful view which we assumed was part of the cottage, imagine our disappointment when the view was a very busy main road at the front and a six foot wooden fence almost against the back windows. The garden was situated next door. I think this has to be explained in the description. It is deceptive to have that photo in between the sitting room and bedroom photos.

  • "Toaster old and only 2 slice needs replacing, not good for house that sleeps 5."

    Double duvet on king size bed and double duvet folded in half on single beds, feel sorry for anyone sleeping in single bed with two layers of 9 tog. Bedroom very light, street lights outside and curtains thin. Welcome pack out of date, wrong Wi-Fi code, no info about dates for rubbish collection. House clean and beds comfy. Local pub good.

    The beds gave an excellent night's sleep. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Britania Cottage and are happy to reccomend it.

  • "Although at first I was disappointed at the location (close proximity to the road etc) but it was all fine."

    The cottage itself was very clean and very well equipped. White bedding and towels added to the comfort as they were spotless. In a very convenient distance to Aberystwyth, which was quite useful on few occasions. Drivable distance to lovely beeches managed by National Trust: Penbryn and Mwnt near Cardigan. Good walking paths near Mwnt as well. Spend good few hours in an absolutely stunning Dinefwr Park with a nice small walk to the castle on the top with beautiful views. Magic of Life Butterfly House was a unique experience, which was voted as the top attraction by the kids. Vale of Rheidol Railway is also worth a try, give yourself some time to be able to explore Devil's Bridge. Aberaeron is a charming place to have a walk around and grab some delicious food. The beech near the house is not very attractive as covered in stones and on the caravan park site but good enough for an evening walk . Overall we had lovely time and really enjoyed the cottage.

  • "Lovely week in this comfortable cottage."

    Good position to visit places such as Aberystwyth and Aberaeron, beach is a walk away. Not brilliant beach for access with small car park and lots of pebbles to cross, but once on the beach it was great. Village is lovely and everyone was very friendly. Cafe by bridge was fantastic, very good pizzas.

The property

Britannia Cottage is a superb property located in a sought-after position between Aberaeron and the University town of Aberystwyth, on the Cardigan Bay coastline.

This holiday cottage is ideal for families or groups of friends seeking a seaside getaway, with two beaches just a short walk away and access to the Wales Coastal Path only steps away.

Upon entering the property, you can look forward to spending your evenings curled up on the sofa with a good book or tuning into the TV or WiFi to share your beachside snaps with loved ones.

Next is the kitchen, where you can rustle up family-favourite recipes using the electric oven, hob, and microwave before gathering around the dining table, which can seat up to six people.

For sleeping arrangements, there are three well-appointed bedrooms: a double bedroom, a twin bedroom, and a single bedroom, where each bedroom features elegant decor and plush linens.

Outside, there is a space for alfresco dining, allowing you to enjoy a meal and toast to a wonderful holiday with your family as the sun sets over the Cardigan Bay coastline.

The village of Llanrhystud is a pretty village that offers everything you need, including a post office, a shop, a small supermarket, and The Black Lion pub, which serves food.

Within the village itself, you can explore Llanrhystud Beach, a beautiful sandy beach where you can stroll, soak up the sun, and enjoy stunning coastal views.

You can also visit the historic St. Rhystud's Church, which dates back to the 13th century and features intricate architecture and a peaceful atmosphere.

If you wish to explore further, you can take a walk on the Wales Coastal Path and enjoy the fresh sea breeze and breath-taking scenery.

Another nearby attraction is Castell Bach, situated on a hilltop overlooking the village, where you can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

Make sure to explore the vibrant town of Aberystwyth, located approximately 10 miles north of the village.

There, you can discover its historic castle, explore the promenade, and visit the National Library of Wales.

Other attractions worth visiting in the area include Aberaeron, Lampeter, Tregaron, and Devil's Bridge.

Experience all of this and much more when you book a stay at Britannia Cottage.

About the location

LLANRHYSTUD

Aberaeron 7 miles; Aberystwyth 9 miles.

Llanrhystud is a charming village in Mid-Wales on the west coast, with three rivers, Carrog, Wyre and Wyre Fach, all meeting to flow into the sea through this quaint settlement. The area surrounding the Grade II listed church, St Rhystud's Church, is now a conservation area, with the village enjoying beautiful rural views as well as a shingle beach. Llanrhystud beach is great for swimming and general watersports, whilst holding views over the lovely Cardigan Bay. Pick up all you need from the local convenience store and garage, or head to the pub which serves classic dishes when you don't feel like cooking. An 18-hole golf course can be enjoyed on a pleasant day, while riding schools and a farm park are not far away and are great for entertaining the little ones. The Wales Coastal Path runs through the village and presents a fantastic way to experience the rugged coastline of Wales, enjoying pitstops at other coastal villages along the way, such as Aberaeron, a delightful Georgian fishing town which still retains its character and charm, head to the harbour and take a boat trip to see the glorious landscape from the coast and discover Cardigan Bay's marine life before sitting down in one of the several eateries.
