A wonderful retreat
Our recent stay at Welsh Grange near Cardigan was fantastic! The rooms were large and well furnished, with a big kitchen that was incredibly well-equipped. The views were especially notable. The location was perfect for exploring Cardigan and the surrounding area. Overall, a wonderful retreat that we highly recommend. Thanks to the hosts for a great stay!

Absolutely gorgeous property
Absolutely gorgeous property in beautiful location. The main house has 4 ginormous bedrooms and an equally large main bathroom to match. The two sitting rooms at the front of the house are a good place to unwind in the morning or at the end of the day. Most of our time was spent in the fantastic kitchen/ diner area which the little ones particularly enjoyed. The downstairs ensuite bedroom was perfect for Grandma. Personal favourite was the BBQ area which we made good use of with the gorgeous views of the garden and surrounding areas. Garden and tree house are perfect for the whole family. Location is unbelievable - very secluded but equally close enough to the town and day trips to all of the beautiful beaches.

I would 100% recommend it
This place was amazing! The photos were incredible but does not do it justice, A real mix of classic manor house style in some parts with an incredibly modern finish is other parts. House was incredibly well designed and furnished and was immaculate! We could have spent hours just wondering around the house looking at all the areas! The place is massive! The most well stocked kitchen iv ever visited. Completely secluded without a single house in site but some incredible views. Outside area was brilliant, BBQ and tradition pizza oven, 10 million outside seating areas! Absolutely couldn't fault it this place was genuinely incredible. I would 100% recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere special to stay.

Bigger and better than in the photos
What a beautiful house with a stunning outlook. Masses of space for three generations of our family gathering to mark a special birthday. The house is beautifully arranged and styled. Bigger and better than in the photos. The kitchen is really well equipped - great for cooking to our big group. We hardly needed to leave the house and garden, but when we did the shops and coast were conveniently close.

Excellent
It was a wonderful setting, with excellent facilities and provision. I think the advert underplayed the excellence of the house and grounds.

Beautiful
Welsh Grange is a beautiful, immaculately decorated, stunning home. We felt like we were in a unique five star hotel. There is a wonderful area for the children to play and our kids loved the grounds and the tree house, but particularly the cinema room. Its location was perfect for us to have family walks without getting in the car. But it was an easy short drive to gorgeous beaches which we all loved. A perfect spot for a really special getaway!
