This delightful seaside town is one of the most popular holiday resorts all year round, and it is easy to see why when you stroll along the sea edge and enjoy the beautiful views. The lovely range of gift shops, tea rooms, restaurants and pubs offer all you need, while boat trips are a wonderful opportunity to spot the playful dolphins, seals and other rare animals and birds that inhabit the bay's sheltering waters. For the hands-on members of your party why not try sailing, kayaking, windsurfing, and power boating with expert tuition available? The famous poet, Dylan Thomas, penned many works with inspiration in New Quay including "Quite Early One Morning" and you can follow the Dylan Thomas trail around the town. Just 7 miles away is Aberaeron, a lively Georgian harbour town with multi-coloured cottages and a good selection of restaurants and inns. This wonderful area of Wales not only has stunning sandy beaches, but also beautiful countryside walks and the outstanding Devil's Bridge is world-renowned for the three bridges, the narrow gauge steam railway and the cascading waterfalls. A perfect base for wonderful holidays, all year round.

It was comfy, clean and very cosy. The view from the farmhouse and the outside seating area was incredible and the access to the coastal path was great.Fay was a great host and shared some great information about the local area. We had a fantastic stay at Crogal - it was perfect!

The cottage was just as we imagined from the pictures; spacious, comfortable, tastefully furnished and exceeded our expectations with its stunning views across the lush countryside towards the sea. We could wake up to the views and be in the moment, especially enjoying the warmth of the conservatory enjoying the peace and changing colours of the sea. Magnificent. My mother, having reduced mobility appreciated the space in the cottage. The information book had some excellent details on walks from neighbouring coastal villages never more than 30/40 mins drive away with stunning coastal walks including wheeler friendly access. Fay also gave us some useful car parking tips. The sea was also surprisingly warm to swim in, which was a bonus for me. The wild life along the coastal path was abundant in bird life and a myriad of colourful flora. So peaceful too; with the comforting sound of the sea. The coastal path from the cottage was my favourite; if you go left past the private coves you hardly see a soul. I met one person, who claimed she was a druid in the woods. Always time when walking for that unexpected moment. Was quite surreal. Appreciated the tranquility and beauty of the nature around us. My mum even surpassed herself with her walking sticks. Furthermore, we had a wicked cream tea with scones and Welsh cakes in the coracle village near Newcastle Emlyn. A note to Fay, the friendly owner, on our last day when clearing up, we spotted an iron in the corner cupboard next to the sink in the kitchen. Just wanted to assure her that there is an iron in the house. I would like to return again one day, itâs a long way from Slovakia though. My husband was born in Wales and his father has written quite a few books on Wales; the latest book is: â For Britain See Walesâ by Joe England. A very interesting and informative book.
