Cwmins, St. Dogmaels, Cardigan

Looking for a beautifully renovated cottage with estuary views, character features and village life on the doorstep? Mount Gernos offers stylish, thoughtfully updated accommodation in the heart of St Dogmaels, just minutes from Cardigan, Poppit Sands and the wider coastline of Cardigan Bay in West Wales.

Mount Gernos is a charming, fully renovated cottage set in the heart of the riverside village of St Dogmaels, right on the northern edge of Pembrokeshire near Cardigan. It combines period character with a clean, modern finish, and sits in an elevated position that makes the most of far-reaching views down across the village rooftops towards the Teifi Estuary.

The cottage is entered directly into a welcoming hallway finished with striking encaustic tiled flooring, which immediately sets the tone for the thoughtful renovation carried out throughout the property. Stairs rise to the first floor, and doors lead through to the main ground floor rooms.

The sitting room retains a lovely sense of character. Original built-in cabinetry remains in place either side of what was once a fireplace, complete with glass-fronted upper cupboards and shelving. Exposed beams add warmth, and there is a useful under-stairs cupboard providing practical storage. It is a comfortable, well-proportioned space that balances period charm with a fresh decorative finish.

The kitchen has been carefully redesigned to offer both style and practicality. Fitted with matching base and wall units, it includes a halogen hob, gas oven, built-in fridge freezer and dishwasher, along with space and plumbing for a washing machine. Wooden feature shelving with integrated under-lighting adds character while also providing additional storage. A window to the front allows in good natural light, and a side door gives direct access to the driveway and the steps leading up to the rear garden. The overall feel is modern yet in keeping with the age of the cottage.

Details Continued: - Upstairs, the cottage continues to impress. Bedroom one is a double room positioned to the front of the property, with a retained original feature fireplace forming a focal point. A wood-panelled ceiling and one panelled wall add texture and interest, giving the room a cosy, cottage feel while maintaining a bright finish.

Bedroom two is currently arranged as a single room but could also accommodate a small double if required. It benefits from a built-in cupboard housing the gas-fired combi boiler, which serves the central heating and hot water. A sliding door has been fitted to maximise usable space, and windows to the front and rear keeps the room light and airy.

The shower room has been stylishly refitted and features a double shower enclosure, WC, hand basin and heated towel rail. White metro-style tiling and a clean, modern finish give the room a fresh and practical feel, complemented by a window to the front for natural ventilation and light.

Outside: - To the rear of the cottage, steps rise up to a garden positioned behind and above the house. From here, the views are the real highlight. Looking down across St Dogmaels and onwards towards the Teifi Estuary, the outlook changes beautifully with the seasons and tides, and on a clear day offers a wonderful sense of space and connection to the surrounding landscape.

The garden includes a small decking area, ideal for seating, with lawns around. The elevated position makes this a particularly special outdoor space in such a central village setting.

There is driveway parking for one car to the side of the property (vehicles need to reverse out), and there is no front garden, which keeps maintenance straightforward.

Mount Gernos would make an excellent main home, coastal base or investment opportunity in one of the most popular villages close to Cardigan Bay. With its blend of character, modern finish and estuary views, it offers something genuinely appealing in this part of West Wales.
