  • Spacious and quirky property with decked veranda
  • Just 250 metres from one of the town's two sandy beaches
  • Fantastic location for exploring Cardigan Bay's stunning landscapes
Property code: 81502

This quirky romantic bolthole for two, in the idyllic coastal town of New Quay, is the perfect base for exploring the breathtaking Cardigan Bay. Wander along the town’s sandy shores, watch dolphins playing beyond the harbour wall or take a boat trip along the fascinating heritage coast. The vibrant university town of Aberystwyth (24 miles) makes a great day out, with a plethora of delicious eateries and independent shops to browse. Head home to the decked veranda and enjoy drinks in the sun.

Take the stairs to the decked veranda of this unique property and enter the gorgeous open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The property is decorated in a seafaring theme, with a range of intriguing nautical accessories creating a truly unique backdrop for your holiday. The stylish bedroom – designed to look like a ship’s cabin – is absolutely beautiful and when you wake up, you’ll be greeted with stunning sea views, inspiring you to get out and explore. After a cosy dinner for two at the dining table, head out onto the veranda for a little sundowner and the chance to reminisce about your day.

It’s easy to while away the hours pottering around New Quay. Soak up the holiday atmosphere with a stroll along the beach and around the pretty harbour, following in the footsteps of Dylan Thomas, who once inhabited the town. Hop on one of the many boats that depart from the harbour for a magical wildlife-watching trip along the coast, looking for dolphins playing in the water and seals basking in the sunshine. From New Quay, it’s easy to visit the vibrant town of Cardigan (21 miles). Full of history, this fascinating town boasts a fabulously restored Norman castle, stunning river walks and a colourful high street with numerous independent boutiques and galleries.

What a perfect little getaway destination! Immaculately appointed, wonderfully located merely steps away from the harbour and quirky in the best possible way. The shower is to die for so after a long day on the coast you can come back to a toasty warm cabin and spoil yourself with a hot shower worthy of any swanky hotel. Can't fault.a thing, it wasRead more a real wrench having to leave for home! Hide

Just returned from our trip to New Quay and stayed in the captains cabin. It has an unusual decor just like a proper cabin, the only thing that was annoying as others have said was the creaking floor boards. We got use to it and by the end of the week we stopped noticing them. The cabin is Perfect right in the middle of the town a couple of minutesRead more from the sea. You have to pay for parking which cost us 23.00 for the week, the car park is about 3mins from the cabin. We would happily stay again. Hide

This place is a haven with the lovely touch of feeling like you are in a ships cabin and the sit out area is a sun trap. The location is prime for access to local shops and bars/restaurants, even though you are close to everything you don't hear much noise. The hosts were easy to deal with and very welcoming.

What a wonderful little holiday retreat, right in the center of New Quay, highly recomended. The decor is fab, it was clean, tidy and cosy. The floors do creak, but, I think it adds to the Captains Cabin ambience. You also have to be aware that it is above a working shop, (it didnt bother us ) and next to a wine bar, but everything was quiet by 9pmRead more, it was just perfect. Thank you x Hide
