Ty Melyn Mair, affectionately known as Marigold Cottage, is an alluring retreat located in the tranquil hamlet of Gilfachrheda, near Llangrannog in Ceredigion, Wales. This characterful cottage comfortably accommodates four guests across two cozy upstairs bedrooms, making it an ideal getaway for families or small groups. The property is just a short stroll down a scenic country lane to two stunning, unspoilt beaches, Cei Bach and Llanina, both of which welcome dogs year-round. The proximity to these beaches allows for delightful walks, and at low tide, visitors can even wander along the sandy shore to the nearby coastal town of New Quay, renowned for its connection to poet Dylan Thomas.
New Quay serves as a vibrant hub for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers, positioned at the midpoint of the All Wales Coast Path. The town offers an array of activities, from wildlife spotting—particularly the famous bottlenose dolphins—to engaging in various watersports. Visitors can also enjoy the local culinary scene, with numerous restaurants, cafes, and shops lining the charming streets. A highlight of the town is its historic harbour, featuring a 200-year-old stone pier that provides a scenic vantage point for enjoying the coastal views and indulging in local treats like ice cream and fish and chips.
Surrounding Ty Melyn Mair are several sandy beaches, including Tresaith, Penbryn, Mwnt, and Llangrannog, which offer additional opportunities for sunbathing, swimming, and exploring the natural beauty of the area. The cottage's location makes it a perfect base for discovering the wider Cardigan Bay region, as well as the market towns of Aberaeron and Cardigan, and the lively university town of Aberystwyth, each brimming with local culture and attractions.
Inside, Ty Melyn Mair features a warm and inviting atmosphere with rustic decor. The upstairs includes a double bedroom with two rocking chairs and a second bedroom with bunk beds suitable for children.
