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.

The cottage was wonderful, clean, well equipped with the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. The star gazing was incredible from the private hot tub. We loved it and would definitely love to return for a secret hideaway.

We had the best time in the snuggle cottage for a week away. The cottage was cosy, clean and as described and the hot tub was an added bonus. There were wonderful areas to explore with many seaside towns and beaches nearby perfect for couples and dogs! Would highly recommend Snuggle Cottage to anyone after a cosy, private getaway.
Will definitely be returning in the future.
Thank you so much to Linda and Chris x

Lovely stay at Dolgoy. The apartment ment was very comfortable with the best equipped kitchen of any AirBnB we have stayed in. The hottub was immaculately maintained and ready for use and felt private enough from the neighbouring apartments.
The area is very quiet with clear views of the night skies. Llangrannog is 2 miles away and walkable along quiet lanes. And the Ceredigion coastline is reachable from Dolgoy. We had a very chill, relaxing time.

Beautiful cottage (amongst a few other equally lovely but private cottages), helpful friendly hosts, very thoughtfully equipped interior, brilliant hot-tub and daily visits from our new friend Tom the cat.
In a quiet, tranquil location with so much to do. Visit the castle and Victorian sea-front at Aberystwyth. Have the best fish and chips from Llond Plat in Aberaeron and walk around the Georgian town, taking in all the beautifully painted houses and quaint harbour. Swim or paddle board in Cardigan Bay off New Quay, then take a boat trip out to see the Dolphins.
Amazing location for a relaxing trip where you can do as much or as little as you like.
Thanks for the hospitality and a little slice of Beautiful Wales.

The loft was cosy and comfortable with all the appliances and tools in the kitchen you might need to make a home cooked meal.
As this was a very last minute trip there were one or two things we forgot to bring, don’t forget to take spare towels for using at the hot tub!
Lucky for us the weather was great so we were not hampered.
We would definitely recommend not only the space for a snug getaway but Linda as a host as they were very polite during our stay.
