Custom House Apartment is a great opportunity to stay in a central location in the heart of Cardigan town, West Wales.

Cuddle up by the television as you enjoy a DVD night on the Flatscreen TV or simply wind down with some peaceful music on the CD Player and a glass of wine in hand, after a delicious home-cooked meal together at the dining table.
End the evening out on the balcony, admiring the historic views of the 12th century Cardigan Castle.
