Set just outside the wonderful Cardigan, where rolling hills meet the coastline, Hiraeth Manor offers a peaceful West Wales base with open views across the surrounding countryside. From the garden, the landscape stretches westward, creating a calm setting to take in the changing light throughout the day.



The house combines original character with a more contemporary extension. Originally built in 1870, it has been thoughtfully restored and reimagined in recent years by award winning designers, bringing it up to a high modern standard while preserving its heritage. This careful attention to detail has also been recognised with a prestigious 5 star Visit Wales award, reflecting the exceptional quality of the home and experience. The open-plan kitchen and dining space sits at the heart of the home, the perfect setting for easy, sociable living, with doors leading out to the terrace. A choice of inviting living spaces provides room to unwind, several with log burners adding a cosy feel. Five bedrooms sleep up to ten guests, with a ground floor bedroom and en suite, as well as a spacious master room upstairs with a four-poster bed.

Time here is best spent at a gentle pace. Meals can be prepared in the light and airy kitchen, or outside using the pizza oven and barbecue, while the garden offers space for both children and adults to unwind, complete with a treehouse and lawn games. A welcome hamper of local produce is provided on arrival, and additional experiences such as private dining, cookery sessions, yoga, or treatments can be arranged to make your stay at Hiraeth Manor feel effortless and considered.

Cardigan is a short drive away, known for its independent shops and well-regarded places to eat, while the surrounding area offers access to some of the UK’s best beaches, coastal paths, and countryside walks. Hiraeth Manor is an ideal retreat for families or groups of friends looking to slow down and enjoy this particularly special corner of West Wales. Hiraeth Manor has been awarded the 5* Visit Wales Award in 2025

Location:

Just a five-minute drive from Hiraeth Manor, Cardigan is one of West Wales’ most appealing towns, known for its independent spirit and excellent food scene. Colourful streets are lined with thoughtful boutiques, galleries, and welcoming cafés, alongside restaurants that have earned a reputation for serving some of the best seasonal produce in Wales. The town sits along the River Teifi, with its castle and estuary walks adding to its sense of place.



Beyond Cardigan, the coastline quickly unfolds into a series of remarkable beaches. Poppit Sands offers wide stretches of golden sand, while smaller coves such as Mwnt are known for their clear waters and frequent dolphin sightings. The Ceredigion Coast Path provides miles of walking with far-reaching sea views, weaving between cliffs, beaches, and wildlife-rich headlands.

Inland, the landscape shifts to wooded valleys and gentle hills, with places such as the Teifi Gorge and Cilgerran Castle offering a different perspective on the area’s natural beauty. This part of West Wales feels both varied and quietly special, with plenty to explore at an unhurried pace.

All of this makes Hiraeth Manor an ideal base for discovering the very best of this quietly captivating corner of West Wales.
