The Experience
Follow narrow green lanes to a lush valley, where this whitewashed cottage stands near a handsome bridge over the river. The lane is now a sleepy back road, so it’s a restful spot; the river flows by gently in summer, more vigorously in winter.Romantics can stay snug here by the oil-burning stove in the living room, climb a stepladder to the loft space with a book, or walk through woods to a quiet beach. Families will love the higgledy-piggledy garden, perfect for hide and seek, and beautiful sandy beaches ten minutes away by car.For eating out you have a choice of small villages – head for Llangrannog, just over three miles away, to eat fish and chips on the beach in summer, or settle in to the Pentre Arms for good pub food. There’s good surfing from the beach here too.

This is a magical place! We arrived as light was fading and just after a bout of very heavy rain, so the river was swollen and there was a lot of water running down the ancient lanes that lead to the village. As soon as we opened the door, we felt cocooned in comfort and surrounded by character. The historic cottage has been brought back to life with such care and sensitivity. The welcoming touches were greatly appreciated, and we had everything we needed for a very relaxing stay. The walk along the coastal path from Llangrannog towards Aberaeron was fabulous. We'll be back!

What a perfect retreat. The house is stunning, beautifully furnished with really lovely homely touches and the welcome pack was fab. The garden is on several levels and full to the brim with flowers. A favourite was sitting there listening to the stream and reading a book. The area, Ceredigion, is stunning. Beautiful rolling hills and stunning cove beaches. We didn't do much because of Covid but if you want a quiet, beautiful and relaxing break look no further. James and Gemma were also so kind answering a number of questions. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or to return... thanks so much!

Stayed four glorious nights. It rained, it was windy but we were snuggled up in our beautiful hideaway. Blue flag beaches, the Ceredigion Way to explore and baby seals on the rocks. Who needs sun!

Location
The neighbourhood
The cottage is one of a few houses in a scattered hamlet a mile or so from the coast. A 35-minute walk leads to the nearest beach and onto some spectacular sections of the Ceredigion Coast Path. You might spot seals and dolphins from the shoreline, and you can swim or surf from unspoilt sandy beaches at Cymtydu or Llangrannog. Good eating places include pubs, cafés and fine dining at The Harbourmaster in Aberaeron.
Local points of interest from Gemma & James Wiseman
- Glan yr afon is located just a short walk (via ancient forest) from one of the best sections of the stunningly beautiful Ceredigion Coast Path. Or, cross the path and 10 minutes later you are at Cwmtydu beach (NT). Bring stout boots whatever the weather!
- Relax in Llangrannog - Great for sunbathing on the beach, bodyboarding, amazing gelato and a couple of great eateries. Our favourite area is the 'secret' beach (Cilborth), accessible at low tide or a short walk over the top of the cliff on the coast path!
- Watch the dolphins from New Quay harbour (with its Dylan Thomas connections) - Take a boat trip, or (our tip) they can often be seen from late afternoon from the harbour wall. We've seen dolphins & porpoises from most of the nearby beaches too!
- Get active! Sea-kayaking, paddle-boarding, river canoeing, coasteering and many other fun/adrenalin-pumping activities are available nearby - Or book for a couple of hours sea fishing from New Quay. A great way to see the coast!
- The colourful Regency houses surrounding the harbour and some lovely places to eat (Harbour Master is just one) make Aberaeron a fantastic place to spend time. Grab a drink and watch the sun set from the harbour wall. Great crabbing for the children too!
- Simply relax at the cottage! There's always something to see in the garden (red kites often circle overhead). The garden has lots of 'nooks and crannies' to read & relax in. On a wintery day the cottage is cosy & warm so curl up with a book or sketchbook.

Introducing
Gemma & James Wiseman
James and Gemma found the cottage while staying with friends nearby, and have since restored it with loving attention to detail as well as James' architectural expertise. It has involved new wiring, plumbing and heating, and the use of traditional materials to keep the spirit of the original building alive. They are delighted that guests will stay and add to Glan yr afon's long history.
A truly wonderful place. The cottage is just perfect with everything you could ask for a relaxing holiday. The grounds and surrounding area are so peaceful.
