Both of us and our 2 dogs settled in quickly to a week of beautiful Welsh late summer weather.. Rose Cottage was extremely comfortable, well-appointed and thoughtfully prepared. We were received personally and although we knew our hosts were very nearby, we were undisturbed and independent. The stairs are nifty, but tricky but our private hot-tub was our reward after a day's hike.
We walked sections of the coastal path, as well as Teifi, Aeron river valleys. We found good circular walks near Cenarth, Cilgerran, New Quay and especially Aberaeron, plus lovely tea room stops - don't miss the stunning National Trust beach at Penbryn. Retail therapy is hard to find, but for a breakfast/brunch we recommend the farm shop & bistro at the Moody Cow.The Daffodil owner-managed pub at the end of the farm road serves high quality food most evenings; other dog-friendly pubs are a fair drive away and it's best to double-check on online details, as we found they were unreliable at this time of year.
