The very best places to stay in
Ceredigion
Between Cardigan Bay’s dolphin-dotted waters and the Cambrian Mountains’ wild green heart, calming Ceredigion invites both coastal roaming and countryside stillness. Life here still moves to the rhythm of the tides; seaside villages tumble down to the sea, sailboats bob in sleepy harbours and seals take their sunbathing ritual seriously, lolloping on the sand like tired dogs.
But there’s a vibrance beneath the sleepy facade — if you know where to look. The university town of Aberystwyth hums with creative energy; Aberaeron glows in seaside sherbet tones with Georgian pastel-hued homes. Inland, winding lanes lead back to farmsteads and forests scented with pine and rain. See below for our favourite things to do in Ceredigion.
Whether you’re walking a section of the Welsh Coast Path, swimming in turquoise coves or browsing boutiques in Lampeter, our Ceredigion places to stay offer the perfect base to take it all in. How about a gorgeous thatched cottage, tucked away in a world of green? Or a woodland cabin with a wood-fired hot tub looking out at the trees? Come for the coast, bring the family (four-legged members too), stay for the peace — and let Wales work its magic on you.
