Dog-friendly Ceredigion

Fabulous dog friendly cottage with its own doggy paddock, set in the beautiful Welsh countryside, Shire is located amongst 6 acres of shared grounds in a small privately owned hamlet of cottages. This once belonged to a bigger estate of grounds which, many years ago, was farmed by monks. A perfect tranquil location in which to explore some of the Welsh countryside and coastlines. Aberaeron, with its beach, pretty harbour and lots of good eateries, is about 20 minutes’ away, by car.
Shire is at the end of a traditional range of farm buildings which used to house the horses. Stepping through the front door of this traditional Welsh slate and stone cottage, you will be greeted by a stylish open plan lounge diner with leather Chesterfields and a wood burner. This leads onto the dining area with handmade rustic table and benches with a beautiful Welsh dresser. Next to this, handmade freestanding units set the tone for a vintage look, with a well equipped kitchen with electric range. Off the kitchen is a small utility area, perfect for hanging coats and washing dog bowls, there is also a large fridge/freezer and dishwasher in this area. The cottage offers a variety of sleeping arrangements with a super kingsize, a kingsize and a compact twin bedroom, all with handmade wooden beds and good quality mattresses for a restful night’s sleep. Across the hall is the shower room with walk-in shower, toilet, sink, and heated towel rail, and there is also a separate bathroom with freestanding bath, overhead shower, sink and toilet.
Outside, off the dining area, French doors lead to the enclosed private patio. This has a large barbecue (gas and coal), and a wood burning hot tub with bubbles and lights, perfect for relaxing after exploring the nearby beaches and countryside. There is a gate to your own small paddock area (slightly sloping), which is great for dogs, and beyond the cottage there are 6 acres of grounds shared with the other guests. A bridge takes you over the river to a picnic area, the perfect place to relax with a drink to the sounds of the water flowing. There are plenty of rural walks and dog friendly places nearby, a list of which you will find in your cottage. The owner provides dog bowls, blankets and towels. The owner loves dogs, so your four-legged family companion is ensured a warm welcome with them.
