About this property
Island House is a charming reverse-level holiday home resting in the picturesque town of Aberaeron, Sir Ceredigion. Perfect for families and friends, this four-bedroom retreat offers a welcoming base just moments from the beach. Arrive at Island House and breathe in the fresh harbour air as you step into a tiled hallway that hints at the character within. Rustic wooden floors guide you through the entrance, where the charm of exposed brick and stone walls begins to unfold. Each detail invites you to slow down and savour the atmosphere of this stunning harbour-side retreat. The ground floor hosts three beautifully styled bedrooms, each thoughtfully furnished with soft rugs and elegant touches.
One king-size bedroom enjoys Jack-and-Jill access to a sleek shower room, creating an en-suite feel for added convenience. Another king-size offers a tranquil space to unwind, while the double bedroom stands out with its pretty patterned en-suite shower room and exposed brick feature wall. Every corner feels considered, blending comfort with style. Climb the stairs to the split-level open-plan living area, where the true magic of Island House reveals itself with uninterrupted views across the harbour and out to sea. Here, teal blue fixtures add a splash of colour to the well-equipped kitchen, inviting you to prepare a feast while chatting around the dining table set for eight.
The sitting area, framed by exposed stone and a leather sofa, is a place to relax and reconnect. Throw open the patio doors to the Juliette balcony and let your gaze drift across the harbour and out to sea. As daylight fades, watch the sky transform into a canvas of spectacular summer colours, a view that stretches the full length of Aberaeron’s vibrant waterfront. A freestanding bath in the first-floor bathroom promises indulgent evenings, perfect for unwinding after a day exploring the coast. Step outside to the garden and discover yet another vantage point for those mesmerising harbour scenes, ideal for a quiet morning coffee as boats bob gently in the distance.
From your doorstep, Aberaeron’s colourful streets and bustling harbour invite exploration, with tempting eateries and boutique shops just a short stroll away. Further afield, Aberystwyth offers a Victorian promenade, a cliff railway with panoramic views, and a lively arts centre for cultural days out. Lampeter beckons with heritage trails, independent shops and charming cafés, while Strata Florida Abbey provides a serene escape, where wildflower meadows and centuries-old stonework create an enchanting backdrop for leisurely walks. Island House is more than a holiday home, it’s a harbour-side haven where timeless character meets unforgettable coastal beauty.
A pretty Georgian coastal town located between Cardigan and Aberystwyth with a lovely pebble beach and beautiful sea views. There is an abundance of shops with unusual gifts, great eating places and pubs, and a quiet little harbour to enjoy watching the boats come and go. Aberaeron is perfectly positioned to enjoy boat trips and watersports, or coastal and countryside walks and cycle rides. Short drives to Cardigan to the south, or Aberystwyth to the north offer more shops, craft centres, museums and cinema or theatre visits. A wonderful Mid Wales location all year round.
