Velvet & Stone in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion

Velvet & Stone Self-Catering

Surrounded by peaceful countryside, just a short drive from the coast, this stone cottage is the type of hideout you’ll want to return to again and again. Inside, the living space with rustic features and stylish velvet sofas is made for hunkering down. Begin slow mornings curled up on the armchair with a good book before putting together a tasty breakfast in the modern kitchen. If the sun’s shining, take your plates out to the garden and dine beneath the pergola.

When you’re ready to become acquainted with your surroundings, pull on your hiking books and take the twenty-six-minute walk into Rhydypennau for a cup of coffee and slice of cake at the local cafe. Or why not embark on the ten-minute drive to Borth for its 3 miles of golden sand and critter-filled rock pools. Spend evenings in Aberystwyth, a fifteen-minute car ride away, dining on fresh seafood in a revered restaurant. Return to your abode at twilight for a glass of bubbles in the private hot tub and a restful sleep in the sumptuous beds.
