Local Attractions


We are perfectly positioned in Southern Ceredigion.  Just a few minutes from the rugged West Wales coastline.  From windswept isolated coves to some of the most beautiful, sandy beaches the United Kingdom has to offer. 


The recently renovated Ceredigion Coast Path is a walkers paradise.  Just to the south of us are the Preseli Mountains, where the Stonehenge standing stones originated from. 


There is plenty of local wildlife, seals and dolphins are regularly spotted and views across Cardigan Bay and further afield across the Irish sea are phenomenal. 


The area is steeped in magical Celtic history and fables.  There are a huge variety of historical places, ancient woodlands and neolithic burial grounds to explore.  We have industrial museums, cheese manufacturing, gin distilling, pilgrimage walks and smokehouses on the doorstep and plenty of more adventurous activities just a little further afield.

The Forge at Glanmedeni is a beautiful and well presented cottage set in a stunning location. Jess the owner is very welcoming and their attention to detail is second to none. Great location for exploring especially for dogs. We would definitely recommend and will be returning in the new year.

The Forge is a fabulous place to unwind and the perfect destination for a holiday with your dog. The attention to detail, good quality bedding/towels, the welcome pack of fantastic goodies and the amazing grounds for the dog to explore (not to mention the small secure garden) made this a very special place. We will return!

My new wife and I stayed at the Forge with our whippet puppy for a relaxing few days of honeymoon. The Forge was absolutely perfect, it's beautifully kitted out and very easy with the dog. The meadow and the enclosed garden were great for him and Jess was an excellent host. The setting is really peaceful. Recommend the fish pie homemade meal for a quiet evening in. We will be back!

What a lovely cottage. Perfect for a stay with the dog, especially with the enclosed garden.
Jess was a great host and the welcome hamper was a lovely touch. The app sent prior to the stay was very well thought out and took out a lot of searching ourselves for where to eat or nearby things. It had everything you needed on there.
Sadly we had to cut our stay short, but the surrounding area was beautiful and the beach close by was stunning. Woody loved playing on it.

Just glorious- what a find. Can’t praise this location, property or host enough. Properly dog friendly in every way. Lovely little walk around property, treats, towels, toys and everything you might need.

Such attention to detail for the 2 legged guests too with everything provided so no need to pack your own little pots of tea bags and sugar. Superb quality produce and would thoroughly recommend ordering one of Jess’s meals, they are extremely generous.

Couldn’t fault this little gem and very much hope to return!
