About Esgair Wen

Esgair Wen is a stunning 5-star cottage tucked away in the Cambrian Mountains near Aberystwyth, Mid Wales. This historic three-bedroom retreat offers spectacular panoramic mountain views that'll make your jaw drop. It's the perfect escape for those wanting to disconnect from the world while still enjoying modern luxuries.

Set in a remote valley that'll make you forget your password troubles and work emails, this peaceful location is perfect for stargazing (it's in a Dark Sky area!). The isolation is absolute bliss - just you, the mountains and occasionally a curious sheep that's wandered over to say hello. Bring supplies though, unless you fancy a 7-mile drive when you run out of wine!

The accommodation includes a stylish lounge with underfloor heating and a wood-burning stove, a well-equipped kitchen with island seating for 4 and a dining table for 6. Upstairs features a king bedroom, a single bedroom and a twin/king zip-link room. There are two bathrooms - one with a large walk-in rain shower and another with a bath.

Nearby attractions include Devil's Bridge (5 miles), Bwlch Nant yr Arian for mountain biking and Aberystwyth town (30 minutes' drive). The coast is just 14 miles away for beach days when you need a break from all that mountain air.

Esgair Wen is ideal for families, couples, or friends seeking peace. The hot tub with lockable enclosure means you can soak whatever the weather - nothing beats bubbles under the stars with a glass of something cold! The unique rotating garden pod is the cherry on top of this Welsh mountain cake.
