The Mermaid's Myth in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion

The Mermaid's Myth Self-Catering

In the small village of Llanfarian, set in its own enclosed grounds in this detached cottage with a private hot tub, wood-burning fire, and gardens with a patio and outdoor dining area. The popular seaside town of Aberystwyth is less than three miles away where you can enjoy two beaches, a promenade with the oldest pier in Wales, a medieval castle, and a cliff railway with incredible views and the biggest camera obscura in the world. Take full advantage of direct access to the Ystwyth bike trail from the cottage – which links Aberystwyth to Tregaron in the foothills of the Cambrian Mountains.

After a busy morning of exploring and sightseeing, we would love to enjoy Welsh cakes from the welcome basket alfresco in the garden. Then, after dinner, unwind in the hot tub with the bottle of prosecco, before cwtching up on the sofa in front of the wood-burning fire.
