Shepherds Pie is a fascinating country cottage located in Cardigan, Ceredigion, just three miles from the stunning Cardigan Bay coast. Converted from an old stone barn, this holiday home offers a blend of contemporary furnishings and original features, such as exposed stone walls and beams, creating a cozy yet stylish retreat. The cottage is part of a pair of holiday accommodations nestled within 22 acres of tranquil land, which is no longer farmed, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the peaceful rural setting.
The surrounding landscape includes a picturesque valley adorned with woodlands and a tributary of the River Teifi, known as Nant Arberth. Guests are encouraged to explore the scenic woodland walk that winds through the valley, providing opportunities for leisurely strolls and the chance for dogs to enjoy a refreshing paddle in the river. The serene environment is perfect for those looking to unwind and appreciate nature, with opportunities to observe local wildlife such as buzzards, red kites, badgers, and foxes.
Conveniently situated just over five minutes from Cardigan town, visitors have easy access to supermarkets, shops, pubs, a cinema, and a leisure center. The nearby sandy beaches at Mwnt, Aberporth, and Poppit Sands are less than 15 minutes away, while the stunning Ceredigion Heritage Coast and Pembrokeshire National Coastal Park offer breathtaking scenery and wildlife, including dolphins and seals. The location serves as an excellent base for exploring West Wales, with attractions like Tenby, Folly Farm, Oakwood Theme Park, and Aberystwyth all within an hour's drive.
Shepherds Pie accommodates up to six guests in three well-appointed bedrooms: a master double bedroom with an en-suite shower, a twin bedroom, and a bunk bedroom. The downstairs living area features comfortable seating, an electric wood burner effect fire, and modern entertainment options, while the kitchen/dining area is fully equipped for self-catering. Each cottage includes a private garden area with a picnic bench and shared access to the expansive field. Ample off-road parking is available just a short distance from the cottage, and guests have the option to book Shepherds Pie alongside its neighboring Cottage Pie for larger gatherings.
