    “We love the location of the clifftop carriage and indeed stayed here about 10 years ago.”

    However, despite enjoying our stay, we did feel it is getting a little tired in places. The decking is starting to rot as is one of the fence posts on the cliff edge. The matress is too big for the base and we had to remove the headboard during our stay to allow access to the other side. When my husband replaced it on leaving he connected it a little higher which gave slightly more room. The shower was not draining and the trap had not been emptied and was full of hair which was a pretty mucky ...

    However, despite enjoying our stay, we did feel it is getting a little tired in places. The decking is starting to rot as is one of the fence posts on the cliff edge. The matress is too big for the base and we had to remove the headboard during our stay to allow access to the other side. When my husband replaced it on leaving he connected it a little higher which gave slightly more room. The shower was not draining and the trap had not been emptied and was full of hair which was a pretty mucky job! Dishwasher instructions are not for current machine. The log burner is in need of overhaul as the grate wriggler is almost impossible to use and with the wind the fire is impossible to control without a full ashbed. (We have years of experience of log burners). This feedback is given to assist the owner not to castigate them.

    We are glad you loved the location of the carriage and enjoyed your holiday and thank you very much for alerting us to the maintenance issues you raise. Plans are already underway to carry out internal maintenance and the replacement external decking is ordered and will be installed in November. It is a new dishwasher and it was an oversight not to replace the operating instructions . We will make sure that other matters you raise are also attended to. I do hope we will be able to welcome you back to Clifftop Carriage next year. With Kind Regards Owner. Property Owner

The property

This stylish conversion of an Edwardian railway carriage retains its original charm while hitting all the right notes on contemporary comfort.

There are 180 degree sea views over Cardigan Bay from the stunning cliff top location, with frequent sightings of resident bottlenose dolphins and seals.

The carriage is just moments from Aberporth's sandy beach, the Ceredigion Coast Path and local pubs, shops and places to eat.

Tresaith, Llangrannog, Cwmtydu, New Quay, Cardigan and Aberaeron are all close by, as are the two famous National Trust beaches of Mwnt and Penbryn.

On a clear day you can see all the way to Snowdon and North Wales.

This is a great spot for bird watching, with many sea birds including oyster catchers, gannets, cormorants and kittiwakes, as well as kestrels and red kites to be seen.

The main rooms enjoy wonderful views over the sea and to the rear, over the orchard garden.

You will enjoy all the comforts of the snug carriage, but you will take away with you the memories of the spectacular location.

About the location

ABERPORTH

Tresaith 1 mile; Penbryn 3 miles; Llangrannog 5.5 miles; Cardigan 7 miles; Poppit Sands 8.5 miles; New Quay 15 miles.

Aberporth is a small town that sits on the southern edge of Cardigan Bay in Ceredigion, renowned for it's fabulous beaches that attract visitors, all year round. There are two beaches that sit between the rocky headlands of Trecregyn and Fathgarreg, separated by a smaller rocky outcrop. Uniquely, at low tide they interlink, but at high tide, they create individual beaches and create great rock pools for the children to play in and explore. Small boats, canoes, and kayaks can easily be launched from the north beach, while the south beach lends itself beautifully for a spot of sunbathing. Close to the beaches, there is a small seaside café, fish and chip shop, and a friendly pub serving good food and drinks. In the village itself, there is a range of shops and takeaway stores. Nestled directly on the famous Wales Coast Path, between the towns of Cardigan in the south, and Llangrannog and New Quay to the north, it is a great base for exploring this glorious stretch of coastline. Venture to Cardigan and discover the town’s many shops, tea rooms, restaurants, pubs, and bustling markets. Visit the nearby themed farm park, spot dolphins from the coastal path, or take a boat trip for the chance to see them up close! Aberporth is a great base for exploring this wonderful part of West Wales, with something to do for all the family.
