“Dolly is unique, set in an idyllic spot so peaceful, it was a lovely place to stay, it is so well equipped, the weather was beautiful.”

Sue and Terry, thank you for letting us share your fantastic Circus Wagon, Dolly lived up and surpassed our expectations, and we must not forget the lovely scones, jam and clotted cream which went down a treat .

“Perfect, unique hideaway.”

Dolly is in a peaceful location and has everything you would need for a very comfortable holiday with a difference. Local beaches are within easy reach although roads are quite narrow. Lovely homemade scones with jam and cream provided as a welcome treat. We loved our stay.

“Dolly is a lovely, unique place to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.”

Immaculately clean, lovely finishing touches and all with an exceptionally warm welcome. Ideally located for coastal walks, and set in stunning grounds that are a great walk in themselves. Definitely a place to remember and book again.

“ROLL UP, ROLL UP, go for a stay in Dolly the circus wagon, probably the best Circus wagon around!”

This beautifully restored 1947 Circus wagon is truly so cosy and comfortable. Lovingly cared for by the present owners, Terry & Sue, for whom nothing is too much trouble. Their attention to detail and provision of quality items throughout make this a novel and great place to stay in a beautiful and peaceful part of Wales. The perfect blend of old and modern makes Dolly the perfect place to stay and she is so cosy anytime of the year. Everything is catered for and the bed is incredibly comfortable guaranteeing a great night's sleep. Can't recommend this highly enough, we had an amazing break, would definitely recommend.

“Dolly is an absolute vintage gem, she is set on the grounds of Sue & Terry’s lovely home with plenty of privacy and is located near so many beautiful coast lines sun has Llangrannog and mine and my other half’s favourite,Tresaith.”

She comes with everything you need for an extremely comfortable stay, could not fault a thing and we will definitely be coming back again! The home made scones with jam and clotted cream in the fridge on arrival was such a thoughtful touch. Highly recommend

Close to the beaches and coastal paths and set in an idyllic plot surrounded by plenty of wildlife. Dolly is a unique stay and not to be missed. We can't wait to return.

The property

Roll up!

We are delighted to introduce you to Dolly the Circus Wagon, a traditional and fully restored wagon settled not far from the coast near the village of Brynhoffnant.

Before being abandoned, Dolly was once home to travelling acrobats and fortune tellers, and has since been lovingly restored to offer fabulous, unique holiday accommodation for two in South Wales.

Admire the beautiful painted exterior of Dolly before heading inside, taking the steps up to the decking and entering into the kitchen/diner, a quirky and compact space, yet still well-equipped for a self-catered stay.

Discover a combi oven and two-ring hob and a fridge among the appliances, with a host of cooking utensils amidst the carefully chosen vintage tins and trinkets lining the shelves, adding further character and charm, with a small dining area to perch at as you tuck into home-cooked meals or treats from the welcome pack.

The homely sitting room is reached via original doors with stained glass windows, with a woodburning stove taking centre stage and adding a wealth of warmth to the wagon; relax here and sip on a hot drink on a rainy day as you watch a film on the TV, surrounded by the quirky circus themed décor and antiquities.

When night falls, head to the bedroom boasting a king-size bed and dual aspect windows, with the original lattice windows.

Freshen up in the full-size shower room suite outside, reached via the decking, you can still enjoy the modern comforts of the 21st century at this vintage dwelling.

Enjoy exploring the beautiful 8 acres of woodland and meadows belonging to the owner, perfect for morning rambles or evening strolls.

Dolly is within easy reach of the coast, and lies just a mile from the nearest village amenities in Brynhoffnant where you'll find a pub and a shop.

Enjoy spending days on the idyllic Penbryn Beach, a National Trust beach with golden sands and perfect for stargazing, with the beach coming alive at dusk with visits from seals, barn owls and even bottlenose dolphins if you're lucky!

Access plenty more delightful beaches along the main coast road, taking you to the likes of Llangrannog, Aberporth and Tresaith, or head further afield down to Cardigan to enjoy attractions like the Welsh Wildlife Centre and an array of shops and restaurants.

Walk along the Wales Coast Path for breath-taking seascapes and scenery, or head further inland to find attractions like the Internal Fire Museum of Power, National Wool Museum and Newcastle Emlyn Castle.

Spend a unique break away with your loved one, choosing Dolly the Circus Wagon as your West Wales escape.
