Packing Tip: UK weather can turn quickly, so pack layers whatever the forecast. A waterproof and sturdy shoes mean the whole group can head out whatever September throws at you.

What to Expect Through the Year

  • ✓ May - September: Warmest, longest days - ideal for big group days out, gardens and BBQs
  • ✓ October - November: Crisp autumn colour, cosy evenings by the fire, quieter attractions
  • ✓ December - February: Perfect for a snug winter escape - great for Christmas and New Year gatherings
  • ✓ March - April: Spring blooms, longer evenings returning, wildlife becoming active
🌧️
Rainy Day Tip: A large cottage comes into its own on wet days - board games, a long lunch and a film with the whole group beat a cramped hotel any day. Check the tabs here for nearby pubs and attractions with indoor options.

Cadwgan Reviews

Jackie
Beautiful large house with plenty of space for the 10 people we had in our group. Owner in contact before and after our stay and is a very helpful pleasant lady. Bedroom with en suite is very large and comfortable personal preference would be more pillows and a larger quilt but this was just me other rooms also large and comfortable.Kitchendiner is large with a utility off it with an American fridgebeer fridge for our party. Downstairs shower and toilet was very useful especially with using the hot tub. The hot tub was an added bonus and was used frequently by our party. Conservatory was like a sauna and lovely to sit in. House ideally situated for access to all local beaches and shops. All in all a very pleasant stay to celebrate our 40th anniversary with our family and would love to return one day
Beautiful house though further from beach than expected. The bedrooms were all beautiful and comfy beds. Property would benefit another TV. A slow cooker or deep fat fryer in the kitchen would also be useful. Property is difficult to find as sign for church is covered with over grown bushes. Had a fabulous time and enjoyed the conservatory in the evenings.
Excellent accomodation. Very clean and spacious. Convenient to several beaches. Mwnt being our favourite 15 minutes away . The hot tub was a bonus at the end of a day on the beach . Lots of space and comfortable seating for everyone. Would recommend to anyone.
Angela
We had a lovely holiday in a beautiful house, in a lovely part of the country. It would benefit from a washing line and pegs, and a tumble dryer. With 5 children and 4 adults its a must. But the house is very warm and we managed to dry washing in the conservatory. Apart from that it was perfect. Would highly recommend it.
Andrew
A great stay 2 families of 4, kids between 6&9. Everything was perfect. From the proximity to the best beaches in the UK West Coast is the best Coast, the rooms, kitchen, garden and of course the hot tub. Felt well looked after by the hosts. Would highly recommend
We had a wonderful week and the property was ideal for our group, the living area was both sociable and comfortable allowing everyone space to enjoy and relax. The location was perfect as as a group we enjoy cycling and walking but also spent some time exploring cardigan town and all these were easily accessible.
Excellent house, very comfortable with excellent facilities. The house was large enough for our family of six to spread out . The hot tub was also popular. The only minor fault we found was it was listed as having a bbq but there was not one.
Michele
A lovely property that was clean and beautifully furnished. The hot tub was welcomed and enjoyed. The conservatory was plenty big enough to relax in and warm. We enjoyed our stay. The property is situated down a quiet lane but quite central so was just right for where we visited. Lots of pretty beaches to visit and if you get chance do go the Honey Farm as truly interesting. Good communication from owner when issues arose or if you are unsure of anything. The airers are handy for wet towels and swimming costumes but a small washing line in the garden would be handy or separate electric heated towel rails that can be set on a timer as heating was off. My only real criticism if it is one is the exit time. 9.30am. I know the cleaners come in to clean it thoroughly and need time but another 30 mins would have been beneficial as there were 10 of us to get out.
Stuart
I could not fault the cottage. Our family spent an excellent week relaxing and visiting the nearby attractions and it was always good to know that we had a comfortable and welcoming place to return to in the evenings.
Aug 4 11. House was perfect for our party of 9, ages 4 to 71! It was immaculately clean, had plenty of space for all of us and just about every convenience that you would need for a week away from home the hot tub was a great success. The only comments to be made are that the rear garden is nowhere near as big as the photos portray, and even for a party of 9, nowhere near enough drying space for washing in the absence of a tumble dryer, a washing line is needed at the very least! Clearer instructions also required for the rubbish nothing collected while we were there and not quite sure where to put ours when we left, but this didnt detract from our very enjoyable stay.
We had a great week at Cadwgan. We were a large family 7 adults and 4 children and there was plenty of room for us all. The property is close to lots of beautiful beaches and country walks which the children loved. The hot tub was a massive bonus! We enjoyed early evening dips after being out all day. We cant wait to return.
Great property, lovely set up for our two young families and grand parents. Great facilities and lots to do around with the beaches in easy reach and lots of wildlife for the children to spot. The only comments we would make are the top floor would benefit from a toilet, especially with young children staying up there. Also the listings and house literature mentioned a bbq which we couldnt find.
Jacqueline
Beautiful house, very spacious. First time we've rented when the rooms are as big as they look on the website. Spent most of our time in the conservatory and hot tub wonderful. Within short driving distance to several lovely beaches and only about 3 miles away from supermarkets. The person managing the house was very friendly and helpful. We would have no hesitation in booking again.
We were a family of 9 ageing between 5 and 63 years of age and we had a super time the accommodation worked well and we all loved the hot tube. We meet the owner and he was very helpful and friendly.
Robert
Excellent place to stay for all our families from 5year old to 83 year old with plenty to do. Great facilities and lovely hot tub. Plenty of nearby beaches to visit fantastic beaches even in the wind and rain. All the family said photos didnt do it justice. Just one small point some of the dishes had cracks or chips in them so we would recommend a check by cleaners before next arrivals. Otherwise a lovely weekend was enjoyed by thank you All
The house is far better than the photos portray. The kitchen is well equipped for large groups and the beds comfortable. We loved sitting in the sunroom when the kids had gone to bed. Due to Covid, the check out time was 9am, which was fine for us with early rising children, but would be annoying if you didnt. The rubbishrecycling arrangement was a little unclear the bins mentioned in the welcome folder werent there but the owner was lovely and approachable to ask. Fab week
Lauren
The house was absolutely beautiful and spotless! ! Actually better in person compared to the photos. The only downfall was the hot tub was not working, the owner did arrange for someone to come and look at it but unfortunately it seemed that the group before us had damaged it. We probably would have booked another house if we had known the hot tub was broken. Otherwise thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
House was spacious and you felt as if you were not cramped in any way even though there was ten of us. Kitchen was lovely and then conservatory was a place you could relax in.
