Unique bunkhouse on the Wales Coast Path

Clare wrote in August 2019: "This is a truly magical find, can't recommend it highly enough and still counting our lucky stars we managed to book a few nights at short notice. Perfectly positioned for a 30 second stroll to the Cwmtydu beach and it's resident seals, or for the coast path to New Quay or south towards a brilliant beach (and breakfast) at Llangrannog, it's also perfectly placed to just loll about in the hammock or cook up a storm in the seriously well equipped kitchen. We could not have found a better space to suit our needs nor a more idyllic location, I'm just loathed to tell anyone else how brilliant the place is, we'll never get in again!"

Ty Cwch is an amazing place to stay. A wonderful space designed for you to use as creatively and flexibly as you wish. It's comfortable and furnished with everything you need in a completely unique accommodation.

The shared living space works well for adults and children. There's plenty of room for everyone. The beds are comfy, the showers are good and the kitchen really well-equipped.

The Coast Path is literally on your doorstep with great walks and views in both directions. Swimming, paddleboarding and kayaking are a few of the activities possible off the beach, and Cwmtydu is only a stones throw from many towns and places of interest.

There's a discount for the length of your stay, with 5% off for 3 nights and rising to 25% off if you stay for seven nights or more. Please ring to claim these discounts.

It's possible to book by the cabin, or you can book the whole building . You might find that you're sharing the ground floor spaces with other people but outside the main seasons the space may well be all yours!

To make this more affordable for families and groups we provide a small groups price to based on the number of guests. If you start small and want to add more guests later it's easy to do.

The Boathouse provides contemporary, bunkhouse-style accommodation for 12 people. On the first floor there are three cosy sleeping pods, each sleeping 4 in bunks plus 2 WC/showers. On the ground floor the kitchen, sitting and cleaning pods open on to the covered deck with the main sitting and dining area. There's an outdoor shower for washing off equipment and ground floor WCs.


Contemporary, quirky, award-winning, bunkhouse just metres from the sea on the Cardigan Heritage Coast. Built from mainly recycled materials the Boathouse sleeps 12 in 3 insulated first floor cabins. Downstairs three further pods house a full kitchen, dining room, sitting area and utility room. These open out onto a covered deck with seating/dining. Right on the Wales Coast Path, easy access for launching boats, great fishing and swimming.

News & Offers from Ty Cwch Boathouse

In a secluded cove on the Wales Coast Path, between Llangrannog and New Quay.

April 23rd 2026

On Iolo Williams’ favourite stretch of the Wales Coast Path, you’ll find Ty Cwch Boathouse waiting at the end of the day. Nestled in a secluded cove, it sleeps 4–12 and offers a fully equipped kitchen, a deck with infrared heating for cooler evenings, and a firepit in the garden. After a long day on the trail, enjoy hot showers and comfortable beds.

Iolo Williams — Wales’ best-known naturalist — has named this stretch of the Ceredigion coast his favourite section of the Wales Coast Path. From Ty Cwch, the path goes north to New Quay through clifftop meadows thick with wildflowers, or south past hidden coves towards Llangrannog and the Teifi Estuary.

Ty Cwch is built from larch-clad shipping containers in a quiet valley at Cwmtydu, a cove midway between those two towns. It sleeps 12, has a full kitchen, a deck with an infrared heater for cool evenings, and a firepit in the garden. After a long day on the path, the showers are hot and the beds are comfortable.

Group walks are one of the best answers to the current cost of travel — split the accommodation between eight or twelve people and the nightly cost per head is genuinely modest. From £25 per person per night at full occupancy, with discounts from 5% for three nights to 25% off for a week or longer.

The seals in the bay are free.

Wild Swims

April 16th 2026

Cold water, warm evenings, remarkable value

The sea at Cwmtydu is clear. The river pool where the Afon Ffynnon Ddewi reaches the beach is sheltered and shallow. The showers back at Ty Cwch are reliably hot. That’s the wild swim sorted from start to finish.
Ty Cwch is a Green Tourism Gold-awarded boathouse on the Cardigan Heritage Coast — sleeping up to 12 in three first-floor pods, with a full kitchen, outdoor showers, deck, and firepit. The beach is a minute’s walk. The Welsh Coast Path runs past the door, north to New Quay and south to Llangrannog.
For groups and families, the numbers make sense: at full occupancy, this comes to £25 per person per night. In a cost-of-living squeeze, choosing a week of sea swimming in West Wales over flights and foreign accommodation is one of the more pleasurable decisions you can make.
Two well-behaved dogs welcome for exclusive group bookings.
