Penyrallt Fach Cottage

Penyrallt Fach Cottage is situated on a fully working organic dairy farm overlooking the beautiful Teifi Valley, near the village of Llandysul, in west Wales.

The cottage offers comfortable accommodation for a small family or group of friends to use as a base to discover lovely north Carmarthenshire, an area of great natural beauty.

The stunning coastline of Cardigan Bay with its superb beaches and the All Wales Coast Path, is a short drive away as are many attractive small towns and villages.

There are any number of lovely walks in the area along the River Teifi or up in the Cambrian Mountains.

The Preseli Hills of Pembrokeshire are within easy reach for wonderful days out walking and the cathedral city of St. David's, the smallest city in Britain, is reachable with a lovely drive south. The cottage, a former 19th century piggery, has great character and charm.

It is adjacent to, but quite separate from, the 17th century traditional farmhouse and range of fine stone 19th century farm buildings.

All the buildings, including the cottage, are Grade 2 listed.

In the cottage there is an open-plan kitchen and sitting-room with wooden flooring, a fully equipped kitchen with a large farmhouse table and two comfortable sofas for relaxing in front of the wood-burning stove.

Much of the furniture and fittings have been made by the owners from timber harvested from the woods on the farm. There are two bedrooms, each with hand-made wooden beds, one king-size and one single, made up with luxurious goose-down duvets and locally made Welsh wool coverlets. The cottage has a lawned garden overlooking a paddock and a pond.

There are lovely views north over the woods and farmland of the Teifi Valley towards the small village of Llandysul and the surrounding area.

There is a wood-fired hot tub in the garden for enjoying fine evenings, with a favourite drink, out of doors watching the bats flying and listening for the owls which live on the farm along with much other bird-life. Penyrallt Fach Cottage can be found at the end of a half-mile driveway off the main road to Llandysul and is a perfect place to unwind from city stresses and to discover a little known corner of Wales with much fascinating history and spectacular countryside and coastline.

The National Wool Museum, in the nearby village of Drefach Velindre, is well worth visiting, and for shopping, Newcastle Emlyn and the historic port town of Cardigan offer a range of independent shops and good places to eat.

A visit to Castell Henllys, a reconstructed Neolithic settlement, near Newport in north Pembrokeshire is highly recommended and here are many superb castles and historic sites to visit in the area.

For exciting days out, book a boat trip from Newquay or Cardigan, to see dolphins and seals in the waters of Cardigan Bay.
