Property code: OC-BOW297

Relax and unwind at this enchanting 3-bedroom cottage that's steeped in history, and wake up to stunning views of dramatic open moorland. Enjoy the peace, tranquillity and remarkable wildlife from the comfort of the rotating garden pod or soak away in the private hot tub. There's a lawned play area to the front and splendid ‘tiddler’ stream nearby offers children many hours of fun. In the cooler months, underfloor heating and a roaring wood burner add a cosy touch to the comfortable lounge. Every detail in this house has been carefully designed and tastefully finished making it a luxurious retreat for families or a group of friends all year round. 

Nestled in the heart of the Cambrian Mountains, Esgair Wen is just over 5 miles from the popular tourist attraction of Devil's Bridge. Devil's Bridge is most famously known for the folklore surrounding the 3 stacked bridges that cross over River Mynach and the magnificent waterfalls that can be found along the way. After sightseeing, you can head to the Hafod Hotel or nearby tearooms for a bite to eat or treat yourself to some artisan Welsh chocolate from the award-winning chocolatier. For another great day out, visit Bwlch Nant yr Arian where you'll find a number of scenic walks, mountain biking trails, a children's play area and a chance to witness the daily feeding of the red kites. Aberystwyth town is around 30 minutes' drive from the cottage and is host to a number of fantastic eateries, pubs, shops and beach.

A beautiful cottage in a very rural and peaceful location with only sheep and house martins for company. Everything is beautiful, the crockery, the towels, the furnishings. It was so nice to stay somewhere where the sofas were comfortable! Would highly recommend this beautiful home.

We had a magical stay at this wonderful cottage. The setting was idyllic and one of the reasons we picked it! The hot tub was one of the best we have had in a holiday cottage, and with it having a roof, it allowed us to use it whatever the weather. We would defiantly look at booking this beautiful cottage again!

What a fantastic property. The location is stunning; with the frost you could almost imagine you were in the Mojave desert rather than Wales! Hard to beat sitting in the hot tub looking at the beautiful mountains, enjoying the company of a nearby sheep that had escaped her field, watching the stars (it's a Dark Sky area). The house itself is very cRead moreosy and well-equipped; you can tell the owners have put a lot of thought into the property. The beds were very comfortable, nice big shower, etc. There was an issue on our end with the date/time we could arrive, and the owners were absolute stars and so kind. We loved our week there. Hide

We have stayed here twice and will definitely be back. What's not to like? The property is set in an idyllic location; the generous, airy, well-fitted comfortable accommodation is decorated with impeccable taste; the welcome is warm...

The cottage is fantastic. The location is stunning. Its a drive from the coast and nearest village with amenities but wed done our research and knew that so came prepared with supplies. The welcome basket was much appreciated. We loved the hot tub and exploring a part of Wales wed never visited before.
