Guests say
Stable Cottage in Cardigan is highly praised for its excellent location, comfort, and well-maintained garden. Guests appreciate the property's cleanliness, proximity to shops and restaurants, and the secure garden for pets. The cottage's charm and amenities contribute to a relaxing and enjoyable stay, despite some comments about narrow vehicular access and a musty smell in one bedroom.
The property consistently receives compliments for its cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it being 'lovely and clean' and 'exceptionally clean'. Only one mention of a musty smell in a bedroom prevents a perfect score.
The location is frequently described as central and convenient, with easy access to shops, restaurants, and beaches. The only minor drawbacks mentioned are the narrow access lane and the one-way system, which some found challenging.
Guests find the property comfortable, noting the well-equipped rooms and spacious garden. Comfort is slightly marred by individual preferences regarding bed softness and a mention of a musty smell in the downstairs bedroom.
Facilities are generally well-received, with positive remarks on the well-stocked kitchen, Wi-Fi, and garden. However, some guests noted the absence of a gate for dog security, a shelf in the shower, and a place for wet clothing, indicating room for improvement.
While the reviews reflect a positive experience, there is no specific mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.
About this property
Just 2 minutes walk from Cardigan Quay, this two storey loft style apartment offers a quiet retreat in the bustling town of Cardigan.
Within a short walk are the quay, the recently renovated castle site, shops, eateries, pubs, restaurants, indoor market, individual shops and galleries, theatre, cinema, library and swimming pool.
It is ideally located for exploring Cardigan Bay and the North Pembrokeshire coastline where there are numerous coves and bays and even the chance of seeing the resident Cardigan Bay bottlenose dolphins.
The Blue Flag beach at Poppit Sands, near St Dogmaels is a short drive or you can catch the ‘Poppit Rocket’ coastal bus from Cardigan and Patch beach on the northern side of the Teifi estuary is even closer. Aberporth, Llangrannog, Penbryn, New Quay and Newport are all within a half hour drive.
There is a floating Indian restaurant a very short walk away if you fancy something a little different.
The bustling market town of Cardigan in Ceredigion is set on the River Teifi and offers an array of shops, both unique local producers and larger chain stores, as well as tea rooms, pubs, restaurants and an impressive ruined castle. Surrounding Cardigan is beautiful countryside, whilst the rugged Pembrokeshire coastline is just a few miles away. You have the opportunity to visit the Cardigan Island Farm Park, wonderful Blue Flag sandy beaches like the National Trust beach Mwnt, take a boat trip to spot dolphins and seals, or horse riding at the friendly Dyfed Riding Centre. For keen cyclists take a trip on the National Cycle Route, Number 82. The nearby Preseli Mountains offer wonderful walking and cycling, with some stunning views and an ancient stone monument. Within driving distance is the town of Carmarthen, Dylan Thomas' Boat House in Laugharne, Oakwood Theme Park, Blue Lagoon indoor waterpark, Folly Farm Zoo and the Welsh Wildlife Centre at Cilgerran, as well as an array of castles, mills and craft centres. Cardigan is an excellent base for exploring this part of Wales.

It is a lovely little property with comfortable beds, plenty of useful things in the kitchen and a great location. Great to have parking too - the lane is narrow but we got our big car up it! The owner was very responsive, friendly and helpful. It has a nice garden and is secure for dogs. We would happily stay again. Also highly recommend Pizza Tipi - especially the seats around the fire.

The cottage had everything that we needed and the garden was lovely to sit in when the weather was nice enough. The cake and milk were very welcome.
