Railway and train enthusiasts will also enjoy Aberystwyth for its Vale of Rheidol Railway and Aberystwyth Cliff Railway experiences, but if that is not your cup of tea, you can always spend an afternoon soaking up the summer sun at the beach with an ice cream and some fish and chips!

Pontrhydfendigaid is a small village in Mid Wales between Devil’s Bridge and Tregaron. The village lies on the edge of the Cambrian Mountains in beautiful countryside. It sits on the River Teifi and his home to a local shop and two nearby pubs, the Red Lion and the Black Lion. Devil's Bridge has been a tourist attraction for centuries and was celebrated by author George Borrow who wrote Wild Wales in 1854. This famous bridge spans the Mynach, a tributary of the River Rheidol and is unique as it is actually three bridges in one, the original built around 1100, the second above this in 1753 and the third in 1903. The bridge is at a point where the River Mynach drops 90 metres (300 ft) in 5 steps down a steep and narrow ravine before it meets the River Rheidol. The set of stone steps leading down to the lowest bridge at the waterfall are known as Jacob's Ladder. The attraction offers viewing points and after the steep walk there is a hotel and cafe for refreshments. This whole area boasts stunning scenery and wildlife and is renowned for walking, cycling, fishing and bird watching as well as trips to the beautiful Cardigan Bay coastline with its wild cliffs and sandy beaches.

Very clean and welcoming with a great offer of tea, coffee, milk, sugar and Welsh cakes along with a beautiful bottle of wine. Facilities were amazing and we had full and private use of the hot tub outside. Our hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful and we already look forward to returning in the future. For the 2 of us it was absolutely perfect.
