Gorse has been tastefully converted from one of the farm buildings into a cosy little two bedroom cottage with superfast broadband and local artwork, offering the perfect place for three people to relax after a busy day. Gorse Cottage is accessed by a single step up to the front door, and once in, the accommodation is all on one level. Through the front door, you find yourself in the tasteful open plan lounge with high ceiling and beams, as well as a ready laid woodburner with a complimentary basket of logs and sticks, leather settee and tub chair, and TV with Roku TV Stick. There is a dining table for three at the end of the lounge area, which leads into the beautifully refurbished kitchen area, complete with Neff oven, dishwasher, and all the appliances you could need. Through the kitchen area, you find yourself in the double bedroom, with exposed stone wall, touch lamps and memory foam topped mattress. Also from the kitchen, you will find the bathroom boasting Laura Ashley tiles, bath, with rainwater shower over, heated towel rail, and Pebble Grey Bluetooth mirror cabinet with speakers. Back to the lounge, and through another door, you will find the single bedroom with exposed stone wall, and cosy metal framed bed. Gorse Cottage looks out over the courtyard, and has its own seating area outside the front door, tucked away out of sight between the cottage and the wood store, perfect for a morning coffee or quiet evening drink. Guests can explore the grounds and visit Blossom, the Shetland pony, Ted the Gypsy Cob and our Kune Kune pigs, as well as the chickens, or enjoy the childrens play area and stream while staying in Gorse Cottage. In addition, there is use of the shared laundry room on site, and dedicated parking right outside the cottage and with free-range hen eggs and additional logs available from the owners, and grounds to explore, Gorse Cottage is a perfect place for a relaxing break, or a base to explore the local area, with its many beaches, the mountains of Bluestone country, and little market towns, or, if you prefer, it is a cosy and homely place to arrive, settle and relax…whatever your holiday means to you. In our little corner of Ceredigion, and just a stones throw from Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire, you’ll find some of the finest landscapes in Wales. Local towns and villages such as Cardigan, Newcastle Emlyn and Aberaeron are well known for their links to medieval Wales centuries ago and remain very much unspoilt, retaining their essence of Welshness. Whilst you are here, you can spend relaxing days visiting the abbey at St Dogmaels, The Welsh Wildlife Centre at Cilgerran, Cenarth Falls, stunning blue flag and dog friendly beaches with coast walks which you may even share with seals and dolphins as companions, breathtaking mountain walks in the Preselis, home of the bluestones used to create Stonehenge (just HOW did they get them there?!), market towns boasting eclectic and unique shops, and many more attractions, depending on your interests. Troedyrhiw itself lies at the very bottom of Ceredigion, close to the edge of the Pembrokeshire National Park, and the Ceredigion Heritage Coast. We are only 4 miles from Cardigan, famed for the fact that the newly restored Castle and house in the town was the site of the very first Welsh Eisteddfod (cultural festival) in 1176. Nearby, the River Teifi flows through the centre of the ancient port town of Cardigan, creating a very picturesque scene, with a few eating establishments making the most of the riverside views. Should you decide to holiday in one of our holiday cottages you will find plenty of places to visit and sites to enjoy in these market towns or quiet villages and hamlets. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Comprehensive recycling policy - Double-glazed windows - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Smart TV, fireplace, DVD player](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76920000/76912500/76912480/2c487ac9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Coach House - Secluded Cottage - Cardigan Bay - Sleeps 2 Cardigan - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-12&endDate=2025-11-13&selected=76912480&PinnedHotelID=76912480&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/53000000/52800000/52798300/52798300/dafafe7e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stunning picturesque character cottage with sensational river views Saint Dogmaels - Kitchen - Washer - Outdoor space - Parking available 9.6 Exceptional 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-12&endDate=2025-11-13&selected=52798300&PinnedHotelID=52798300&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/75000000/74170000/74161300/74161273/41cc008d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cottage by the river with fishing.
