Tawelfan meaning ‘quiet place’ is a one bedroomed cottage and one of a pair of delightful holiday homes situated within the owners’ 2-acre smallholding just outside the small village of Cilcennin and close to the sight of an Iron Age fort in a neighbouring field. The cottage, a renovated cow shed with exposed stonework, has been built by the owners and it offers very attractive accommodation with a sleek, glossy kitchen and a high quality wet room. Flowing nicely and all on one level, it offers easy access for guests. Featuring open plan living space, it opens out onto its own enclosed courtyard terrace, perfect for relaxing comfortably and keeping an eye on the children or your dogs. There are sheep in the surrounding fields and chickens in the smallholding so the owners request that dogs be kept on a lead outside of the property and that children are supervised. Public footpaths in the immediate vicinity give access to delightful walks ranging from 1 to 10 miles, so put on your sturdy shoes and enjoy the peaceful countryside that surrounds you.
A short 15-minute drive will bring you to the lovely Georgian harbour town of Aberaeron with its colourful houses and an array of independent shops, lots of cafés, restaurants and pubs. Enjoy the renowned local honey ice cream whilst you watch the boats bobbing in the harbour. Further down the coast you will find the seaside town of New Quay where the houses cling to the rocks and the long harbour wall is the perfect place to enjoy fish and chips whilst you try to spot the bottlenose dolphins which are regular visitors to Cardigan Bay. Boat trips are available in season and offer a spectacular view of the coastline.
Visit the beautifully maintained Georgian country estate, Llanerchaeron, just 2½ miles south east of Aberaeron, or you can walk from the town along a wide level pedestrian pathway, ideal for cyclists, pushchairs or wheelchairs. The estate offers a fascinating insight into the life of the Welsh gentry and their staff 200 years ago. Run by the National Trust, there are often events on and there’s a well-stocked farm shop and café.
Less than 30 minutes towards the Cambrian Mountains will bring you to the historic market town of Tregaron, which has many summer events. Just outside the town you can discover the Cors Caron nature reserve covering 2,000 acres.
Ceredigion is distinctive Welsh region with a thriving cultural identity and is perfect for a weekend break or a longer stay with award winning beaches, sandy coves, sea cliffs, caves and wonderful wildlife, spectacular sunsets and starry dark skies.

If you are looking for peace and quiet and somewhere that is dog friendly you couldn't ask for more than Tawelfan. Spotlessly clean with everything you need for a very comfortable stay. Cottage is gorgeous and a lot of time and money has been put into the renovation. We look forward to staying there again and would have no hesitation in recommending.Thank you.
Wonderful cottage, clean & well equipped. Nicely located in easy reach of Aberaeron, New Quay & cardigan bay. Will happily go again

Lovely property, set in beautiful countryside with views of fields with cows and sheep.Well appointed, probably the best we have ever stayed in, ideal for dog owners as there is a lovely garden completely fenced and secure with outside patio with furniture to sit and relax.Good parking and owners provided all you would ever need, even for the dogs, Bowls, Poo Bags, Tip Bits.Also a lovely friendly couple, able to talk too, but allowed our privacy too.

Our second visit to this lovely cottage and I am sure we will return again. The cottage has everything you need and is very clean and well furnished to a high standard. As a wheelchair user it was very accessible. It is about 5 miles from Aberaeron which is a lovely town that has everything you need , and easy to access other towns along the coast. Recommend the boat tours in Newquay as we saw so many dolphins. We loved watching the birds on the feeder, especially the woodpecker and also saw lots of kites and buzzards.

this was our second visit to Tawelfan this year after spending a week last year there, it got everything for a quiet peaceful holiday along with your dogs, It is warm due to the underfloor heating and the walk-in shower if you are disabled. The coast is only 15 minutes max away and if you travel a bit further to Cardigan and its Poppit Sands were the beach is great to allow your dogs to enjoy themselves. The name Tawelfan in Welsh translates roughly to a quiet place/peaceful place.Just booking for next year before everyone reads this review and books before me. thank you Mr & Mrs Jamieson for allowing us to have an enjoyable restful weeks holiday.will see you next year
