73-The Lodge

This delightful lodge is situated on the popular 'Dogs Welcome' Woodlands Lodge Retreat site, nestled into a secluded valley surrounded by wooded hillside and bordered by a stream in the pretty hamlet of Gilfachreda.
Located near to Llanarth, the property is 5 minutes drive from the picturesque and bustling seaside resort of New Quay - and just 10 minutes from Aberaeron, with its lovely Georgian harbourside.
Set over one level, the lodge is accessed up three steps and has enclosed decking surrounding the front and part of the side of the lodge.
Open the doors and relax with a refreshing drink on the decked veranda, with your dog at your feet, after a full day exploring what Ceredigion has to offer! This property offers an ideal retreat for friends or families wishing to be close to sandy beaches and peaceful countryside, all set in an idyllic setting surrounded by woodland and nature.
Inside the lodge is modern and stylish with a bright and cheery open plan living area with a well-equipped kitchen, dining area and a comfortable sitting area with electric coal-effect fire. There are two pleasant bedrooms, a double and twin, plus a modern family shower room. The park has a lovely woodland trail for you to wander or follow the River Llethi as it meanders through the park to Cei Bach Beach (the closest beach which welcomes dogs all year round) where at low tide you can reach the pretty harbourside town of New Quay.
Enjoy traditional fish and chips at New Quay, a cooling ice cream, or perhaps enjoy a meal in one of the many cafes and restaurants either in New Quay or Aberaeron where there are some excellent restaurants to be found.
Boat trips to explore Cardigan Bay’s marine ecology and Heritage Coast can also be booked at the harbour. The coastline is a walker’s paradise with intimate coves to discover such as Cwmtydn or spend the day at one of the many sandy beaches at Penbryn a short drive away. The National Trust’s Llanerchaeron Estate invites you to step back in time on this fascinating traditional farm with the mansion built by the great architect John Nash. With the area offering many outdoor activities such as wildlife spotting boat trips, fishing, cycling routes and walking you will be spoilt for choice. At the end of the day return to this cosy lodge to relax and recharge ready for the next day.
