About this property

200 year old fisherman's cottage with stunning sea views in New Quay Wales

Recently and beautifully renovated 3 bedroom cottage with 2 bathrooms, large living room, kitchen diner, both with woodburners,and secure wi fi, in New Quay, Cardigan Bay, with a blue flag beach and resident pod of Bottlenose Dolphins.
To the rear of the cottage is a decked terrace with views over the sea and coastline, perfect for dolphin spotting whilst enjoying a well earned sundowner after an exhilarating day on one of New Quay's three beaches, or messing about on the water,sailing, kayaking, stand up paddleboarding, fishing or taking one of the many dolphin watching or fishing boat trips all available in New Quay and a short walk from the cottage.
Alternatively put your feet up after walking one of the many coastal paths very close to the cottage, which form part of the Ceredigion Coastal path, walking guides and OS maps are available in the cottage.
Relax in the large comfortable living room with ample seating for six,a 40 inch TV with Freeview, DVD player, radio CD player, Iphone dock and woodburner.
The kitchen diner is very well equipped with double electric oven,halogen hob, fridge, microwave, slow cooker, dishwasher, woodburner and seating for six people.
However there are numerous eating establishments in New Quay ranging from Restaurants, Pubs, Cafes, Take Aways and of course Fish and Chip shops so that you can enjoy your fish and chips on the quay or the beach.
All the local eateries pride themselves on sourcing local produce, where possible, and the fish on your plate may well have been landed that day by some of the local fishermen who sell their catch on the quayside.
Alternatively take a picnic, we have a picnic hamper and picnic rug at the cottage.
Why not enjoy alfresco meals at home on the rear deck area with a large barbeque.
There is a separate utility room next to the kitchen, with a washing machine,drying facilities, including a tumble dryer,and fridge freezer.
Next to the utility room is a downstairs shower room perfect for washing off the sand after a day on the beach.
Upstairs there are 2 double bedrooms and one twin bedroom,which has a tv,dvd and games console with a number of games to keep the little ones entertained. Also available at the cottage is a high chair and travel cot.
The rear double bedroom has wonderful sea views and is next to the family bathroom which has a bath with hand held shower and a separate shower cubicle.
The cottage is heated by a wood pellet biomass central heating system, during the colder months, when the central heating is required, it is necessary to fill the boiler with pellets daily, requiring lifting, usually three, 10 kg bags up to the boiler.
The system is very easy to use and is very environmentally friendly, if you have any concerns about the heating system please do not hesitate to contact me.
Although there is no parking at the cottage within 100 metres is a pay and display car park with a weekly multi use tariff of £21.00.
For larger parties Garthowen can be booked with Clydfan Property 6732266, 3 doors away at a 10% discount of the overall cost.

5 Star Holiday Cottage

Excellent accommodation. Every conceivable gadget and utensil was available and the cottage was spotlessly clean and very homely. There was ample seating indoor and out. The best feature was the outstanding decking area with unrestricted views of the bay and Harbour. We would definitely recommend Garthowen to anyone.

Beautiful cottage with absolutely stunning views

We had a brilliant stay at the cottage. It was absolutely perfect for us. There is plenty of space and it is beautifully furnished. The cottage was spotless when we arrived and it has everything that you need. The decked area is just amazing and the views are stunning. Situated within easy walking distance of the shops and the beach, this really is an absolute gem. Thanks so much for letting us stay. We will definitely be back!

Thank you for your review, I'm glad the cottage had all you need and you enjoyed the views. I am afraid the lack of parking is an issue in small sea side towns but as I mentioned in the acess information, generally there is not an issue if you pull up outside the cottage just to unload. I'm sorry about the heating, someone had overfilled the pellet hopper which caused a blockage in the feed pipe. I hope to welcome you back to Garth Owen soon.

Beautifully presented cottage, well located and with some stunning decking with good sea views.

This property suited us very well. There is a lovely big lounge (great for a toddler!) and two bathrooms/shower rooms (though one of the showers was not working very well). The kitchen and dining arrangements are fine, and there is a useful utility room, well equipped. The whole place is very well decorated and furnished on a seaside theme. There is a fantastic area of decking with a great big table, lighting, BBQ etc with wonderful sea views. We saw jumping dolphins and a red kite drifting by. There are a number of steps to get down to the decking. You are also quite aware of the neighbours' decking although they are exceptionally friendly. As for the bedrooms, one is great with good sea views; the other two are fine but do suffer a little bit from traffic noise. Also, there are double yellow lines outside, though it is possible to stop to unload etc. Parking is either in a pay and display (£21 for the week), or we usually managed to find free on-street parking withing easy distance. The cottage is well located for the beach and town.

What a wonderful cottage

This cottage is exactly as described and is beautifully furnished to a very high standard. We especially loved the enormous bean bag and comfortable sofas. The kitchen has everything you need but if I was being picky, I would have liked an extractor above the hob to help take away the smells of the cooking. The bedrooms and bathrooms are tastefully decorated and again had everything that you needed. The outside space to the rear of the property is to die for with stunning views over the bay. Unfortunately the weather was not nice enough for us to take advantage of it. My only negative, and the reason for only four stars is the noise from the road. I knew the cottage was situated on the road but I was not expecting the levels of noise from the amount of cars and passers by. It was like having the windows open. An obvious improvement would be to add double glazing to the front of the house which would help greatly. I live on a main road myself so I know that having double glazing makes a big difference to noise levels. To be fair, the fact that the property is on the road is probably reflected in the price. Overall we had an excellent weekend and would recommend the cottage to others.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you will be able to come back again when the weather is good enough for you to use the deck area. Your comment about the noise from the street is totally justified, the double glazed windows are on order! They should have been fitted 2 weeks before your stay but unfortunately I'm still awaiting delivery. Hopefully next time you stay they will be installed and you will be able to give the cottage a 5 star review :)

Tolles Haus, das durch seine tolle Lage und die dazugehörigen Terrassen besticht. Das Haus ist wirklich groß und der Meerblick vom vorderen Schlafzimmer aus ist traumhaft! Die Nähe zum kleinen Supermarkt sehr praktisch.Spinnweben sind in so einem Haus sicherlich nicht zu vermeiden, aber sollten trotzdem von Zeit zu Zeit mal entfernt werden. Die Wohnzimmerfenster waren so zugesponnen, dass wir lieber über die Eingangstüre gelüftet haben. Der Küchentisch hat geklebt und auch unter den Betten sollte mal saubergemacht werden. Aber abgesehen von der Sauberkeit ist das Haus wunderschön und über die Milch, die schon im Kühlschrank auf uns gewartet hat, haben wir uns sehr gefreut. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen!
