Penuwch Fach in Aberystwyth | Must-See Cardiganshire Hot Tub Cottage

About Penuwch Fach

Penuwch Fach is a traditional Welsh farmhouse in Ceredigion, just 6.5 miles from Aberystwyth. This semi-detached beauty sits on a working livestock farm with stunning valley views and peaceful countryside all around. The perfect mix of rural tranquillity with easy access to Cardigan Bay's sandy beaches.

The location is ideal for exploring mid-Wales. You're just 15 minutes from Aberystwyth with its promenade and pier, plus attractions like Devil's Bridge Falls are nearby. The completely enclosed garden makes this perfect for families and dog owners - your four-legged pals can roam safely while you soak in those hillside views. And let's be honest, after a day of hiking those Welsh hills, that hot tub will feel amazing.

The farmhouse sleeps 8 across 4 bedrooms - 2 doubles with en-suite showers, 1 twin and 1 with adult bunks. There's a family bathroom plus a ground floor WC. With two separate living rooms (one with woodburner, one with open fire), there's plenty of space for everyone to spread out without getting on each other's tits.

Visit the Red Kite Centre, take the steam train from Capel Bangor to Devil's Bridge (15 mins), explore Aberystwyth Castle (20 mins), or hit the beaches at New Quay (30 mins). After your adventures, Penuwch Fach welcomes you back with that glorious hot tub under the stars.

Whether it's a multi-generation family holiday or a getaway with mates, Penuwch Fach offers exceptional comfort and quality. The well-equipped kitchen handles Christmas dinner with ease and the hot tub is checked daily. Pure Welsh magic.

Great place, really well appointed, spacious and spotless. Beautiful views and great outside space. Perfect location for those seeking to get away from it all.

Stacey

We had a lovely 10 day stay at Penuwch Fach Cottage. The cottage is beautiful, full of character, comfortable and really well stocked with all you need in picturesque settings. The hot tub is a bonus which was enjoyed by all. The owner was wonderful, very kind and a helpful lady. We would definitely return and highly recommend the cottage.

Helena

This was our second visit to Penwch Fach and we loved it. Its countryside setting is beautiful and so peaceful yet its within easy reach of many activities and attractions. The house itself is characterful and has everything you could possibly need for your stay. The owners are easy to contact should you need to. Well be back!

Isabel

Proper beds! Thank you! So often mattresses are appalling and you cant wait to leave. Feather duvet and pillows would have been preferred as the cottage gets very hot. Gorgeous spa and the location is perfect for evening sun. Fantasy location for walks and Aberystwyth we loved every minute and highly recommend this accommodation and location. A wonderful time of year too seeing the lambs

Matthew

We had a lovely holiday here. The accommodation is fantastic. Hot tub was wonderful, the garden is beautiful. No complaints at all. The only suggestion I would have would be to put a hand rail the other side of the staircase and one on the steps down to the bathroom. Thanks for a lovely time!

We as a family of 5 a 3 yr old spent a delightful week at Penuwch Fach in JulyAugust 2024. We were attending an interment and celebration of life nearby so the location was perfect. We were met by the owner and there was a welcome winebiscuits plus tea and coffee. There is a Nespresso Gusto machine too plus a few pods . The farmhouse had generous sized bedrooms and two living spaces as well as the very well equiped kitchen diner. There was a travel cot and high chair available too bring your own bedding for the travel bed. Outside there is a BBQ and seating area and a very large hot tub which was checked daily. My grandson loved the pebbles!! To the front there is additional seating, a picnic area and a sloped lawn. I would highly recommend staying here.

A well presented holiday home. Very comfortable accommodation in a lovely location, central to exploring wonderful mid Wales.

Had a super new year's break in this lovely cottage very cosy and comfortable and well equipped even the terrible weather couldn't spoil our stay here we will be back hopefully.

Leonie

Excellent host . Fantastic cottage . Will be back

Jennifer

A wonderful place to stay! The house was a delight and so beautifully warm. Well definitely be back. The linen, fixtures and fittings were of very high quality. Just one tiny gripe we oldies could have done with some hand rails on the steps down into the bathrooms. A washingup bowl for the sink would have been good. Unfortunately we didnt have a chance to use the hot tub.

Thank you so much for a lovely holiday, we couldn't have wished for more, we all thoroughly enjoyed it and the hot tub was a bonus!

Clean and tidy, nice area lovely place to stay

A great place to stay. Everything you will need plus a hot tub. Highlt recommended.

This was a perfect house for our family holiday. Remote enough for us to enjoy peace and quite but close enough to places of interest to explore. The house was clean, spacious and comfortable with everything we needed. PERFECT !

Mandip

Had a wonderful stay at Penuwch Fach which is in a lovely rural and quiet location! It had beautiful valley views from the back garden and a great hot tubspa in the front which was always checked every morning and the property itself was really clean. Short drives of around 5 to 15 minutes from key locations like Aberystywth and Devils Bridge. My only small recommendation would be nice to have some clothes hooks in the bathrooms but that is only a minor improvement. Owners had great communication and always happy to help. Couldnt recommend it enough, excellent place to stay!

Stephen

Fantastic stay. We all loved the house and the hot tub was great

Perfect accommodation for a family or friends get together ! !! The beautiful enclosed garden with views and the Hot Tub in the yard, made it a special holiday experience!

An absolutely stunning cottage with fabulous facilities

Deborah

The farmhouse is beautiful and quiet. We stayed in the farmhouse over Christmas and it had everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped to cater for the 6 of us, especially on Christmas Day. It was exceptionally clean too and the host made sure that our stay was as it should checking in on us a couple times and was always a phonecall away if we needed her.

Barbara

Amazing cottage, so clean and welcoming couldnt of asked for anything else. We went as family for a long weekend away the eldest being mid 70s and the youngest 16 and we all enjoyed it as much as each other. So much to see and do in the local areas, and beautiful scenery. We definitely needed more time to explore some more. We would definitely recommend this cottage, I would like to visit in the summer and maybe the snow Highly recommended fabulous cottage.

A beautiful holiday home with everything to make the stay memorable. Fantastic location and a very attentive owner.

A lovely cottage fully equipped, including a hot .

Pauline

Penuwch Fach is an ideal family holiday retreat. The accommodation is first class, spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Fixtures and furnishings are of a very high standard. We are a family covering 3 generations and we all loved the holiday, the hot tub went down a treat either at the start or end of very busy days. The farmhouse is in a beautiful rural location and whilst remote it is very well situated for visits to Aberystwyth, Devils Bridge, Mwnt Beach, New Quay and Cardigan, to be able to visit such beautiful countryside as well as quaint seaside resorts is an added bonus. The owners are to be congratulated and thanked for keeping this property to such a high standard. We would love to come back in the future

Such a lovely cottage, beautiful views. House was very nice and clean. The beds were really comfortable. It had everything we needed. The hot tub was a huge hit lovely after a day of exploring. Many thanks to the owners for the welcome package. We loved our holiday here, couldn't fault it and would highly recommend.

Hayley

My family and I stayed the week for my sons graduation. The cottage was beautiful, clean and spacious with two living rooms and four bedrooms, two of which, had a large ensuite. The hot tub and bbq were a nice extra. The views and peacefulness contributed to making this a special holiday for us all. I saw from the reviews that many had returned for a second time and after staying, I can see why.

This place is amazing so peaceful and relaxing . We didn't want to leave all the facilities for my sons 30th birthday party great thank you
