The Old Sea Captain's House: A short walk to stunning beaches, shops and pubs | House in Aberporth

'Caerwenith' (The Old Sea Captain's House) is in the heart of the picturesque coastal village of Aberporth, West Wales. We've recently renovated this grand old 1930's house to its former seaside glory and have restored all of its original features and furniture. Its location is perfect! Five minutes walk to two stunning, sandy beaches (one of which is dog-friendly), local gastro pubs, shops and world-famous coastal path.
After a lazy breakfast, you can grab your beach gear and walk down to the beach, where the sand and sea await you. The beaches are spotlessly clean (Aberporth was the world's first Plastic Free Community and there are regular litter picks). There are lifeguards on duty (during the summer months) and the bay is sheltered. There is a great beach shop in case you've forgotten your bucket and spade! You can even hire sea canoes on the beach. At lunchtime, you can head back to the house for lunch or take advantage of one of the many pubs/cafes to have lunch (eat in or take away). With onsite parking at the Old Sea Captain's House, you can enjoy this lovely seaside destination without the cost and stress of finding a parking space!
This beautiful seaside village was recently voted one of Wales' top 10 beach destinations. It is one of the least rainy places in Wales. Cardigan Bay has the largest population of bottlenose dolphins in Europe, and from May to October, they can be seen from shore, the coastal path or from one of the many boat trips that are available to book nearby. If walking, hiking or biking is your thing, this is the perfect base. The house is a 3 minute walk to the world-famous coastal path.
The Old Old Sea Captain's House is a great base for exploring this absolutely stunning part of the world. There's so much to do; stunning beaches, cycling, sailing, kayaking, coasteering, diving, surfing, walking, theme parks, farms, wildlife centres, fishing, seal and dolphin boat trips, crabbing, horse riding, visiting castles and historic places.....the list goes on and on. In fact, Wales has more castles per km2 than anywhere else on earth! For those who enjoy browsing antique/craft shops and long pub lunches, there are charming market towns and villages for you to explore nearby. Just 10 minutes away by car is Cardigan, a bustling market town with supermarkets, a leisure center, cinema/theatre, craft/antique shops and plenty of great pubs and restaurants. Close by is the Cliff's Hotel with superb spa facilities.
