The vast kitchen and dining space is the social hub of the home and large bi-fold doors open up onto the outside space with a superb hot tub and barbecue; the ideal spot for relaxing in after a busy day sightseeing. Situated in the village of Llanon with a pub and shops within walking distance, this holiday home is the perfect base for immersing yourself in all that the area has to offer. With a superb mix of coast and countryside, Ceredigion is a large and beautiful place to visit. Award-winning beaches, perfect coves, iconic castles and pretty harbours make days out by car or on foot along the 60 miles of Heritage coastline a must. This region inspired Dylan Thomas to write some of his finest poetry. It is framed by the Cambrian Mountains, known as the backbone of Wales, and is so rich in wildlife, legends and fascinating landscapes. Look out for birds of prey such as red kites and buzzards soaring high above, and dolphins or seals in the waters. Drive along the Plynlimon Mountains, through the Tywi Forest or visit the impressive Abergwesyn Pass, and marvel at the solitude.
For a truly authentic Welsh family holiday experience, this is the area to be. The locals are justifiably proud of this region with its rich local folklore which tells of tricking the devil, mermaids, shipwrecked kings and princesses, and even an explanation of why gulls sound as if they’re crying. The little gems of Georgian Aberaeron, historic Cardigan, salty New Quay, traditional Tregaron and Lampeter are waiting to be explored. To the south, the coves of Mwnt, Cwmtydu, Penbryn, Tresaith – which resemble illustrations from books about pirates, are all within easy reach. To the north, around Aberystwyth and Borth, there are vast stretches of sand. Food plays a big part in the experience of Ceredigion, and a wide choice is to be found in the shops, restaurants and cafés offering regional products and ingredients such as the world beating Teifi Valley cheeses, the ubiquitous Welsh cakes, bara brith and of course, some spectacularly good seafood from the coast.
No visit to the area would be complete without a ride on the steam railway. From the coast at Aberystwyth, watch the scenery change whilst travelling through ancient woodland and rugged mountain scenery, with the line clinging to the hillside to reach Devil’s Bridge, home of the famous Mynach Falls and Devil’s Punchbowl. Come and escape to this magnificent area and let Oswald House be your home for a holiday to remember!

Last minute, end of season visit. We were welcomed by Andrea, who was very accommodating. We were blown away by the lovely building,, modern decor, and obvious thought that had gonebinto the property. Particularly loved the privacy for the hot tub, and the fab fridge freezer! We later had a quiery about the hot tub cover - Andrea answered our call immediately, and Richard came straight away to help. There's a pub, a local shop, and a beach within walking distance. Aberystwyth wasnt far - and was a great place to visit and eat out at.Hoping to visit again! Recommended!

Just come back from an amazing stay at Oswald house with the family. We were celebrating a 70th and a 30th birthday in the family and the property was perfect! Very spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area and a separate games room out in the garden with an outdoor hot tub. Property is in close proximity to amenities, with a butcher’s literally at the end of the driveway and a convenience store across the road. There is a lovely pub called the White Swan around the corner that offers lovely home-cooked food and Aberaeron town centre is only a short drive away. Property owner (Andrea) was lovely too and made us all feel very welcome and was so helpful on arrival. I’m an independent travel agent and have had customers stay here and have received amazing reviews. I can see why now. I will definitely be recommending this property to all my customers who are looking for a celebration home going forward.
