Awash with culture and holiday cottages, Aberystwyth is home to the National Library of Wales, the Aberystwyth Arts Centre and filming locations for TVs Hinterland. From your cottage near the beach, you could discover the oldest pier in Wales and venture up to see 360° views of the Ceredigion coastline and countryside using the world’s biggest Camera Obscura.

Travel on the Vale of Rheidol Railway and experience all this rural rose has to offer in nostalgic style. Nature-nuts in properties with sea views will be perfectly placed to look out for dolphin pods while those staying in Aberystwyth holiday cottages further inland might spot red kites and buzzards. No worries if you choose a self-catering accommodation in Aberystwyth as there are plenty of quality eateries offering local delicacies within easy reach.
