This has been bugging me for months so I'm hoping Mumsnet may help.
About 10 years ago DH and I drove from mid or north Wales (likely Aberystwyth or Machynlleth) to St David's, Angle or Newport. (We've done a few holidays around there, hence the vagueness.)
On the way south from Mach/Aberystwyth we stopped in a village I've never been able to find again. I don't think it was on the coast. Whilst there was a steepish slope, it may have sloped down to a river, there was no beach or harbour. So perhaps on an estuary.
There was a pub on the edge of the village , at the start of the village as you approach. A nice one, grey building with a garden or patio at the front. Two rooms inside, I think, the second was entered to the left of the bar.
The village itself in my memory was made of paths rather than roads. Really pretty small houses, maybe multi coloured. Lots were holiday lets. There may have been a small gallery, certainly pretty ornaments outside the houses. I don't remember any shops, this place was little, and as I say didn't seem to be accessible to cars once you got past the pub. At a guess I'd guess around 1 hour south of Aberystwyth, but could be a bit further south.
Does anyone have a clue where I might be talking about? DH thinks I've amalgamated some places, but my memories of these pretty cottages and pathways between them are real. I think!
Thank you!
