My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at Tir a Mor in Aberporth. Spacious inside and out and caters for everything you could possibly need on a self catering holiday. Excellent communication from Joy the owner. Thank you so much on behalf of my family. (Christine B, July 2022)

Very comfortable, well-equipped and clean. Fabulous sea view from the sitting room and nice garden. Good base for exploring – we visited Cardigan, Llangrannog and Newquay. Our favourite beach was the one in Aberporth though. Also enjoyed relaxing in the back garden, which is a suntrap in the afternoon/early evening. We’ll be back! (Matt P, June 2022)

A very well equipped and spacious house in a great location. The house is beautifully furnished and very comfortable with the added bonus of sea views from the kitchen and upstairs lounge. Just a 10 minute walk into Aberporth and the Wales coast path, we found this to be the ideal holiday home. (Alastair J, June 2022)

Joy was very helpful and the facilities were excellent. Close to the sea and amenities of Aberporth, Cardigan only 10 minutes away. So handy for visiting other beaches and visiting one of our favourite places Aberaeron. (Susan T, May 2022)

Lovely property with all the amenities for a self-catering holiday and having 3 bathrooms certainly helped! Made more amazing with the fantastic sea view and well maintained garden which was great for relaxing in after enjoying one of the many coastal walks. Its in a great location; only 10 min walk down to the lovely village of Aberporth and great for touring to see other parts of West Wales. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend. (James W, April 2022)

House was just stunning! Excellent communication with Joy, the owner. House is in a quiet cul-de-sac within a 10 minute walk to the sea. Everything in the house was tastefully decorated to a high standard. The lounge had a magnificent view over towards the sea, massive t.v and super comfy sofas. Extremely clean and tidy, loved the stain glass windows. Cleanliness was superb. Beds were lovely and comfortable and rooms were decorated very tastefully. A fantastic stay, would return. A hot tub would be an excellent investment. (Kathleen A, April 2022)

We have just finished a fabulous week in this gorgeous house. The house is spotlessly clean and has everything you could need for your holiday. Having 3 bathrooms was a massive plus point for us as 3 individuals. The view from the upstairs window is stunning. Being able to use Netflix etc is also a plus for us. The information sent out by the owner is excellent and includes lots of recommendations of places to eat (a lot of which we tried) communication prior and during our stay has been excellent. The outside is really well kept and the garden is a real sun trap. We would definitely recommend staying at this property. (Carole W, Sep 2021)

A wonderfully equipped house in Aberporth village that combines space and privacy ideal for a mixed group (we were joined by our adult children and their partners). The house has literally everything you need and benefits from sun in both front & rear gardens throughout the day – both are excellent spaces to relax when the weather permits. The kitchen diner is a very social space to enjoy meals & is tastefully decorated (along with the entire house). The bedrooms and bathrooms are sizeable and comfortable – ideal for our group. The hidden gem is the upstairs lounge with its feature window complementing the stunning view across the bay – a perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee or an early evening glass of wine. The owner Joy is incredibly responsive & super helpful and she provides a huge amount of information and advice ahead of the stay. A real piece of paradise that I highly recommend – but please don’t all book at once as we’ll want to come back. (Haydn August 2021)

Amazing property, bright, airy and so relaxing. The views are beautiful overlooking Aberporth and the sea. Communication with the owners throughout was straight forward and contained all the information that was needed. The house was spotless when we arrived, and I mean spotless. All possible needs were catered for with an excellently stocked and appointed kitchen. There is not a better place to explore Cerdigion from. Thank you. (Gareth M, June 2021)

We really enjoyed our stay at Tir a Mor. A perfect home away from home. The property is spotlessly clean and has everything you need. The views from property are beautiful especially from the kitchen on the ground floor and from the Lounge on the first floor. Also it provides easy access to visit south and west Wales. It is very close to Aberporth beach which is a lovely beach. The coastal walk from Aberporth beach to Tresaith beach is amazing too and treat to the eye. Also the owners of the property Joy and her husband made us feel very welcome and were always prompt to respond to any queries at any time of the day. Once when we had a small problem in the heating, they were very prompt to resolve this. Our only suggestion – We drive an electric car and hence found that charging facilities in that part of Wales were not reliable. Hence a home EV charging facility would be an added attraction for the future. Equally we would love to come back here for another holiday. (Seema D, April 2021) **Owner response: We have now installed an EV charger at the property

We stayed here for 5 nights mid September.

The house was exceptionally clean and well equipped, the only drawback is also one of its greatest features. The view from the kitchen and especially the upstairs lounge is truly exceptional.

Unfortunately this means that the house is located at the top of a hill , which added to a bit of a bendy road ( there is a short cut which cuts some bends out) it is a steep walk back from the Pub

Location 5* when you are there, 2* when walking back! Aberporth is a smallish village but has 2 pubs and a shop, great beaches and is a good base to explore south central Wales

Kitchen 5* Well equipped

Lounge 5 * great view, good selection of DVDs TV etc

Beds 5* good & Comfy

Bathrooms 5* Good strong showers

Garden area 5* A natural sun trap

Owner 5* Good Communication, left a Covid friendly pack

Would I come again – Yes (Robert M, Sep 2020

This is a lovely detached house with every comfort provided. Downstairs is roomy and comfortable with a large kitchen diner, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The kitchen is very well equipped and has plenty of food storage space. There is ample seating outside with well tended gardens to enjoy. The back of the house is a sun trap and is not overlooked.

Upstairs is special. The large bedroom is light and airy with two skylight windows. It has its own bathroom next door but the star of the house is the sitting room with its large picture window overlooking the village and the sea beyond. There is a good TV package and we enjoyed using Chromecast synchronised with our own devices.

There are lovely walks nearby – the coastal path is 15 minutes away and the friendly local beach only 10 minutes. Aberporth itself is picturesque and has a shop, pubs with food, ice cream and takeaway. We spent a happy week there and would love to return.

Joy was a pleasure to deal with and provided very helpful local advice and recommendations. (Jo P, Sep 2020)

A lovely large house. Spotlessly clean. Well equipped. Stunning views. Walking distance to beautiful sandy beach and The Ship Inn. (Robert P, Sep 2020)

This house is simply lovely, spotlessly clean and very well planned out. Plenty of space, lots of towels, and loads of crockery! The rooms are all large with very comfortable furniture, lots of storage space in bedrooms and nice sized bathrooms. The views from the lounge and kitchen across the bay are stunning. We didn’t brave the walk to the beach (the hill is steep and long and we’re lazy!), but there are 2 car parks at aberporth beach and we managed to park with no issues every time we went. We booked and ate at The Ship Inn, which overlooks Aberporth beach – very nice. Also recommend a trip to New Quay for a large beach (but quite busy) and boat trips, Gwbert at low tide for crabbing from the pontoon and for sunset watching, and Cardigan Island Coastal Farm for seal spotting. Looking forward to coming back again another year. (Vicky W, Aug 2020)

A very clean and spacious house, beautifully furnished and equipped. Ideal for a family group. Plenty of space to relax and enjoy the view and sunny seating areas in the garden. Easy walking distance to lovely clean beach. Look forward to staying again. (Julia B, Aug 2020)

Guest comments 2019

One review I read before booking was, ‘the photos do not do proper justice to the property ‘, I thoroughly agree.

Internally it was so spacious, so clean, everything that you needed. Outside was a little sun trap, quiet and relaxing.

Views overlooking the bay were breathtaking. My husband and I did a lot of walking, the coastal path so easy to follow. Two friends joined us for a couple of nights and we drove a bit further a field, more of the same, places with amazing views, friendly locals.

We ate at The Ship Inn at Aberporth, amazing food, would give it 5stars.

Do not hesitate booking, if you want relaxing, stress free, this is the place for you. (Ann B, Sep 2019)

My wife and I and our four children had a lovely holiday in Aberporth. The self catering accommodation was truly outstanding; hats off to the owners for providing everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. (Jack H, Aug 2019)

Tir a Mor is a great place for a holiday on the Welsh coast. Accommodation was immaculate on arrival, it has great views from the kitchen and upstairs lounge and features everything a family on holiday could need. Quick 10 minute walk to the beach (uphill on the way back) but was fine for us. As others have said, we’d highly recommend food at the ‘The Ship Inn’ down the road in Aberporth. We also enjoyed trips to Cardigan and New Quay… The Bluebell Deli & Bistro at New Quay was also one of our favourites for food out. Aberporth itself is very nice, with an excellent beach, that splits into two at high tide. Joy is also very helpful, friendly and easy to get hold of. Big thumbs up for Tir a Mor! (Elaine W, June 2019)

Highly recommend this house, very clean, everything you need for a comfortable stay. Communication with the owner is effortless and she is happy to answer any questions you might have. Good location for exploring the area, Aberporth is a small village with a lovely sandy beach, we were very lucky to see Dolphins all along the coast including in Aberporth bay. (Jennifer S, May 2019)

We stayed for a week in this beautiful house. As many other reviewers have commented, the photos on this site really don’t do the house justice! It is light and airy and very spacious. The facilities are top notch and Joy has thought about everything you could possibly desire!

The views from both the kitchen and lounge area are outstanding and the telescope is a lovely added touch.

I had an issue with the boiler (which was totally my fault) and Joy still answered the phone just before midnight and talked me through how to rectify my error! Such a wonderful, pleasant owner to deal with. Thank you for an amazing stay!!

FYI, anyone with kids must go to the Cardigan Island Coastal Farm! We spent a wonderful morning there and saw nine seals in their natural habitat! (Cara B, April 2019)

Guest comments 2018

“This property caters for everyone ..and every need. It is modern, relaxing, beautifully decorated and faultless.I stayed here with my husband and elderly parents, the local beach is wonderful-the best I have ever visited, peaceful, safe and ideal for every age group. As a base to visit the Ceredigion and surrounding area Tir a Mor is the finest, I would chose this property every time. Cardigan, Newquay, Pembryn, Fishguard , Tenby, Carmarthen, The National Botanical Gardens of Wales, the Cliff Hotel at Gwbert and sailing all within easy reach. Our favourite was the beautiful evening strolls along the coastal path above the bay at Aberporth as the Sun set..The owner deserves a great deal of credit as this property is simply outstanding.” (Ann C, Jun 2018)

“Description doesn’t do it justice and Mrs Davies is so helpful the area is amazing and the young ones 4 and 6 loved the beach so clean, will definitely be back the view from lounge alone is worth going back on it’s own.” (Stephen D, May 2018)

Guest comments 2017

“An absolutely delightful property! The house is a short walk away from the lovely beaches in Aberporth. The layout of the kitchen downstairs and lounge upstairs means that the view of the sea can be appreciated from both. It is spotlessly cleaned, well furnished and well equipped with everything that we needed for our family of 6. The high chair and cot were really helpful to have. The Tesco in Cardigan delivers to the property so we had our shopping delivered on the afternoon of our arrival which saved us a trip out. I would not hesitate to re-book if we visit the area again.” (Laura P, Oct 2017)

“The pictures look great of the house, but if possible it is even better in real life! I stayed here with my husband, 2 year old daughter and my parents for a week. It is without a doubt the best house we have stayed in. Your can really see the time and effect the lovely owner has put into making the house so great, from the decor, to the setting, the gardens, the facilities in the house, the extras like games and lots of information on what to do in the area to just how clean the house is, top rated place to stay. The views from the house are stunning, and Aberporth itself is lovely. We enjoyed a few drinks and a meal in the Ship which was lovely. We explored the area and loved New Quay although we didn’t see any Dolphins on our visit. The Weather was not on our side for week but we were able to get two afternoons in on the lovely beach in Aberporth, it was our little girls first time on a beach and she loved it!! The beaches are so clean and well looked after. We will be heading back to this lovely property in the future I am sure, cannot recommend it enough, we had a great family holiday and made lots of lovely memories. (Miriam M Sep 2017)

“We stayed in the house with 3 kids, 16, 15 and 12 years old. The house is very big and all of us loved it. The weather was good and we even were able to see dolphins and a very nice sunset on Tresaith Beach. Aberporth is good located with many attractions nearby. We loved to be here!” (Stefanie B, July 2017)

“I stayed here for a week in June with my mother, wife and (nearly) 2 year old daughter. All of us agreed that this was the nicest place we’d ever stayed in; my only negative comment would be that the pictures do not do the house justice and it’s the only place I think I’ve ever stayed where the actual house is even nicer than the photos. The house was clearly built to make the most of the wonderful views of the sea and is light, clean and well-maintained. I’d highly recommend it to anyone wishing to visit this beautiful part of the country; you could easily spend an enjoyable week just making use of the house, the beach and the nearby cafés and pub or you could use it as a base to explore the many wonderful attractions nearby.” (James P, Jun 2017)

Guest comments 2016

“We had a great stay at Tir a Môr, the house has a great location and we enjoyed walking down to the beach in Aberporth and along the coastal path to Tresaith. Our boys loved the Welsh Wildlife Centre which had great activities on for the holidays. We would definitely recommend the house to others, it is very spacious and comfortable.” (Emma O’Toole, Kenilworth, April 2016)

Guest comments 2015

“Well, Nick and I are back home after a wonderful week’s stay once again in your lovely house. We were so lucky with the weather, and had some great days out at various beaches and walking along the coastal paths. We had some sightings of dolphins again, at Tresaith, Llangrannog and Ynys Lochtyn, and seals at Dinas Head, we never tire of seeing them. Our friends enjoyed their 2 days and nights as well, all too brief a stay for them.2 (Claire & Nick Neale-Brown, Cheltenham, Sep 2015)

“Clear direction, Clear instruction on use of appliances where and how to use them more than helpful. All was first class no complaints what so ever. (Diana Whitaker, Leeds, Aug 2015)

“Never been here before and I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in a more beautiful house. Add to this a superb view and lovely countryside and you have the recipe for a perfect holiday. The little train to Devil’s Bridge was a delight, and the cathedral at St David’s was a deeply uplifting experience. Try to go.” (Enoch and Vaga families, Ilkeston and Liverpool, Aug 2014)

Guest comments 2013

“Your website provided comprehensive details about the property and accurate pictures. The directions were excellent. Fantastic property and a beautiful area. The views from the house are stunning and the garden feels secluded despite neighbours surrounding it.The house was extremely clean, but stilll felt homely and comfortable. The property was also kitted out for everything you couild possibly need.” (A Parr, Oswestry, July 2013)

“We thought information, photos didn’t do the house justice. It was much better than we thought. We all enjoyed staying at Tir a Môr, you have furnished and decorated the house beautifully. We also enjoyed the garden with all the flowers and shrubs. The children loved playing in it ans were safe with the gates closed.” (G Bedson, Upton Wirral, Aug 2013, rebooked for Aug 2014)
