Dolgoy Cottages is a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, all year round. But, the holiday season is a special time of year to enjoy a festive break in the UK with loved ones.
Whether you want to unwind and recharge before the rush of social events and shopping sprees begin, celebrate a December birthday, spend time with family and friends, or simply enjoy some of West Wales’ local festivities – Dolgoy Cottages is the ideal spot for an adults-only Christmas break in the UK. We have four luxury cottages available for your stay, all of which are dog-friendly and boast their own private Jacuzzi hot tub.
Luxury coastal cottages decorated for Christmas
To make your stay extra festive, each cottage is lovingly decorated for Christmas from the beginning to the end of December. Twinkling fairy lights adorn the traditional oak beams, glittering centrepieces add a special touch to your home cooked meal, the Christmas tree sparkles in the background and the wood burner lays ready to light for a cosy evening.
Each cottage is designed with adults in mind. Snuggle and The Coach House Loft both sleep two and are the perfect choice for a romantic break with your special someone. Galleri and Ponycob both sleep four guests with ensuite bedrooms, providing a luxury getaway for mature families or friendship groups.
In Galleri and Ponycob, the spacious oak tables are ideal for dinners and easily seats four guests. If you’re hosting family or friends from our neighbouring cottages, the table can be extended to comfortably fit up to eight, allowing everyone to enjoy a meal together during an adults-only Christmas break.
A Winter wonderland awaits you for a festive break in the UK
Nestled in the peaceful Welsh countryside, Dolgoy Cottages is a haven all year round but becomes a true Winter wonderland during the colder months.
A quiet morning at our luxurious cottages feels timeless. Step outside and listen to the crisp breeze ripple through trees. The fields and hills stretch out around us, dusted with frost underneath a pearly sky, giving way to the bright Winter sunshine. Relax in your private hot tub as the countryside awakes around you. Or, make a hot cup of coffee using the Tassimo, walk your dog over to our communal exercise paddock, and gaze down the valley as they run and play.
Step out of Dolgoy Cottages onto the quiet country lanes and take a fabulous Winter walk to one of the nearby beaches. Now Summer is over, our sandy shores are wonderfully peaceful. Listen to waves lapping against the rocks and breathe in the fresh, salty air.
Dolgoy’s magical atmosphere continues into the evening. As night falls, the sky turns inky black and the moon shines bright above amongst a canvas of stars. Immerse yourself in the peace and tranquillity of our secluded location from the comfort of your private hot tub or simply enjoy the open spaces beneath the stars. Feel the cool air against your skin, listen to the faint sounds of nature and lose yourself in the dark skies, undisturbed by light and noise.
Festivities at our dog-friendly lodges with private hot tubs
Bringing your furry friend? That’s no problem. All of our cottages are dog-friendly so your favourite pet can come along for the festive celebrations. Ceredigion is a dog-friendly destination with plenty to see and do.
Enjoy nature along the winding countryside trails, stretch your legs on the quiet dog-friendly beaches, or even take a pit stop at one of the many coastal pubs to refuel. There are lots of hidden gems offering a warm welcome for you and your four-legged friend. When you return to your cottage, they can relax in front of the toasty wood burner – just like you. We also have a communal exercise paddock where your dog can run and play.
Each of our cottages has a private Jacuzzi hot tub that is available for use all year round. Escape the cooler temperatures and let the soothing warmth of the water cocoon you. Enjoy some peaceful alone time or share the experience with friends or family during a festive break in the UK. This pastime is the epitome of relaxation, making it a great place to bond, welcome the New Year or simply unwind.
A crisp, clear Winter’s night is the perfect atmosphere for stargazing, a peaceful activity we are renowned for in Mid-West Wales. Soak in your Jacuzzi hot tub, let your mind empty, and immerse yourself in the never-ending dark skies, twinkling with stars and constellations.
Get into the spirit at local events
Ceredigion makes for a magical Christmas break in the UK. The quaint seaside towns come alive with sparkling decorations and lots of celebration. Find handcrafted trinkets for your special someone at the Christmas markets and enjoy delicious seasonal produce at our atmospheric pubs and restaurants.
Here are just a few of the events and activities for you to enjoy during your stay:
Our local food markets are also well worth a visit to pick up some tasty treats to enjoy over the festive season. We highly recommend St Dogmaels Local Producers’ Market and At The Farm Gate for delicious, locally sourced meats, cheese, home bakes and more.

Where to start! We found Dolgoy Cottages purely by chance after having our planned holiday cancelled the day before we were due to go away - what should have been disappointing actually turned out so much better than we could have hoped for! Chris and Linda were so helpful in accommodating us and our Labrador Buddy at such short notice. The setting is exquisite, the cottage was gorgeous, had everything we could possibly need. We loved coming back from exploring the nearby coastline (we kept being drawn back to Newquay) to a lovely warm (and always clean) hot-tub. We could then snuggle up in front of the wood-burner (no charge for logs) and then get to sleep in the biggest, most comfortable bed I ever had the fortune to use. Last but not least, I feel I should mention Chris, Linda and the animals, a lovely welcome from you all, we will miss Lou-Lou, Hazel and Tom they are all a credit to you both - mustn't forget to mention Nuts, the resident Guinea Fowl who has made Dolgoy his.

Stunning location, incredibly peaceful, fantastic base for coastal walking! Spotlessly clean - although dog friendly you’d never know a dog had been there! Whilst the hosts leave you to it, we bumped in to Chris a couple of times and throughly enjoyed chatting with him. The amenities offered are spot on, particularly the hot tub and the enclosed dog paddock! A wonderful place to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary! We will be back.

We enjoyed a very relaxing early March stay at the charming and peaceful Ponycob, one of the Dolgoy cottages. We got lucky with plenty of Spring sunshine which was a welcome bonus! The location is wonderfully remote but still within easy reach of the beautiful Welsh coastline, stunning beaches and interesting towns and villages. There’s a well stocked Londis and petrol station within 10 minutes drive which was also very convenient. We would certainly recommend Ponycob and Dolgoy Cottages and hope to revisit another time.

Great stay for New Year. Beautifully decorated for Christmas. The property is as described and Linda and Chris and their staff were all very helpful. Very dog friendly, providing water / food bowls, towel and even a toy. Some great essentials left for the humans too - Welsh cakes, tea, coffee, sugar, milk, eggs and chocolates. We used the hot tub every day which was a great way to relax after a coastal walk. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

very much enjoyed our winter break Have very much enjoyed our time at Ponycob. /the log burner such a treat especially with the cold weather. It has been relaxing not using the car on some days and going on walks to the beautiful beach at Cwmtydu and discovering tiny villages close by. A soak in the hot tub after a long walk is recommended as is the food in The Pentre Arms at Llangrannog. Diloch yn fawr

Lovely cottage in a beautiful peaceful location. Great for a relaxing break but also very handy to explore the scenic beaches and coastal paths close by.
Loved the log burner with free logs and kindling and the hot tub was good for chilling after a busy day and star gazing on a clear night. Lots of nice little extras - welcome pack, fresh flowers and bits and pieces for our dog. Would definitely recommend, we didn’t want to come home!!

Really great stay for two family couples and baby. Loved the peace and quiet, but still close to the West Wales beaches and coastline. Enjoyed the hot tub in the cool November evenings and the log burner was a great touch.

To echo others: beautiful place, clean, lots of outdoor activities in the area. Linda was responsive and provided a lot of useful information. Note this unit is in between two others so those looking for total isolation might do better elsewhere. Would stay here again.

Very beautiful and peaceful cottage in the middle of a farm. We loved walking around the farm with all the animals and we had an amazing view of the stars from the hot tub. Kitchen had all the essentials, fireplace was easy to use and warmed the whole place. The extra local treats provided were lovely as well!
The location makes it feel very secluded but still easy to drive to lots of nearby spots.

A dog paddock which was very useful for us.
The loft was beautiful decorated and the hot tub was perfect after long days out.
The location was perfect for travelling around the coast line.
We would highly recommended Lindas properties and will definitely be going back.

Linda & Chris are friendly and very welcoming and have worked so hard to make this a real home from home in a peaceful small holding. Lots of beautiful walks close to visit the fab beaches of Cwmtydu, Llangrannog and Penbryn. Great for dogs (paddock!) and humans alike (hot tub!)…we’ll be back!

We had a fantastic stay at Snuggle Cottage. being in the farm was a total joy, it was peaceful, private and exactly what we wanted for a little autumnal getaway. The log burner and hot tub were a huge highlight and our dog, Bobby, enjoyed it immensely. We were a stone's throw from breathtaking coastline, lovely beaches and a variety of shops and restaurants. Everyone we met were super friendly and our host was brilliant! 😍 We'd love to go back some time!
