- Aberystwyth 20 minutes’ drive; Glaslyn Nature Reserve: 45 minutes
- Outdoor patio area with hot tub and comfortable seating; sea views
Gather the family (or a few friends) and head to Rydlan, a two-bedroom cabin in the countryside outside the seaside resort of Borth (five minutes’ drive), in Ceredigion, West Wales. The property sits next to a working farm, and you might well open the curtains in the morning to spot cattle grazing lazily in the adjacent field, not to mention distant sea views.
Bright and light-filled, Rydlan has a double room and bunk room, a bathroom (with a shower) and a well-equipped kitchen area with an induction hob, microwave oven and sink, plus assorted pans and utensils to whip up family means that you can then devour in the dining area or alfresco. The outdoor area includes a paved patio with ample seating (overlooking the neighbouring hillsides) and a hot tub – just the spot to admire spectacular sunsets or the star-speckled night sky.
Days can be spent at the beach on Borth (where kids can splash around in the shallow waters) or at the Ynyslas National Nature Reserve, a somewhat wilder landscape of sand dunes at the mouth of the River Dyfi (and a top spot for birdwatchers). The Welsh Coastal Path runs along Bae Ceredigion and can be accessed (on foot in about 20 minutes).
