The property

Aberaeron 3.9 miles.

Secret Garden Cottage is a charming retreat nestled in a rural setting on a working organic farm, half a mile from Llanerchaeron National Trust estate and a short drive from the picturesque harbour town of Aberaeron.

Ideal for families or groups of friends seeking a relaxing escape, the property features a woodburning stove and an external sauna.

With gardens, countryside views, log fires, spacious living areas, scenic walks and coastal beauty all close at hand, it’s a wonderful choice for those who love the outdoors.

Set in a tranquil location, step inside to discover a warm and inviting holiday home.

The kitchen and dining area showcases exposed materials and earthy tones, creating a welcoming space to prepare meals and gather together.

An original inglenook fireplace with a woodburning cast-iron stove and bread oven adds character and charm.

At the heart of the home, the main sitting room centres around a woodburning stove that crackles on cooler evenings, with a corner sofa offering plenty of room to unwind after a day of exploring.

A second sitting room provides another peaceful spot to enjoy a book, a quiet drink, or a film on the Smart TV, giving guests space to relax as they please.

When night falls, the twin bedroom—convertible to a super-king on request—comes with its own en-suite bathroom featuring a bath.

The family room includes a king-size bed and a single, making it ideal for small families or friends sharing.

A sleek shower room with a walk-in shower and a handy cloakroom add to the property’s practical appeal.

Fast satellite Wi-Fi and a washing machine are also provided for your convenience. Outside, the emphasis is on relaxation and enjoyment.

A wood-fired hot tub, available as an optional extra, invites you to soak under the open sky, perhaps with a drink in hand.

Nearby, the external electric sauna offers a soothing way to unwind after countryside adventures.

The large oak timber decking area is perfect for lounging, and a barbecue is available for outdoor meals.

Surrounding the cottage are extensive gardens, including a French-inspired courtyard garden with a badminton and French bowls court for petanque.

A picnic bench offers a lovely spot for alfresco dining, and a basic weights gym and rowing machine are available for those who enjoy staying active.

Right outside, you’ll find a two-acre historic walled garden and a riverside walk, with access to National Trust woodland trails, gardens and a historic country house just minutes away.

A restaurant and bar are also within a 10-minute walk, making it easy to enjoy a meal out.

Whether you’re relaxing on the shared decking or chatting into the evening, the outdoor space turns every moment into something memorable. When it’s time to venture further afield, the surrounding coast and countryside offer a wealth of experiences.

In New Quay, enjoy golden sands at Harbour Beach, look out for dolphins on a boat trip across Cardigan Bay, or visit the Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre to learn about the local marine life.

Along the dramatic Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, follow the rugged coastal path for sweeping sea views, explore tidal caves and natural arches at Stackpole Estate, or visit the medieval St. Govan’s Chapel carved into the cliffs.

Inland, the wild beauty of Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park awaits—climb Pen y Fan, walk behind waterfalls in Waterfall Country, or stargaze in one of the UK’s designated Dark Sky Reserves.

Secret Garden Cottage is also a wonderful choice for wellness retreats and holidays, offering the perfect blend of comfort and rustic charm.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
