Penyrallt Fach Cottage is a charming accommodation located on an organic dairy farm overlooking the picturesque Teifi Valley, near Llandysul in west Wales. This cottage is ideal for small families or groups of friends, providing a comfortable base to explore the natural beauty of north Carmarthenshire. The stunning coastline of Cardigan Bay, known for its beautiful beaches and the All Wales Coast Path, is just a short drive away. Visitors can also enjoy numerous scenic walks along the River Teifi or in the Cambrian Mountains, with the Preseli Hills of Pembrokeshire and the historic city of St. David's easily accessible for adventurous day trips.
Originally a 19th-century piggery, the cottage boasts unique character and charm, being adjacent to a 17th-century farmhouse and a collection of 19th-century farm buildings, all of which are Grade 2 listed. Inside, the cottage features an open-plan kitchen and sitting room with wooden flooring, a fully equipped kitchen, and a large farmhouse table, complemented by two comfortable sofas arranged around a wood-burning stove. Many furnishings are crafted from timber sourced from the farm's woods, adding a personal touch to the decor.
Accommodations include two bedrooms, one with a king-size bed and the other with a single bed, both outfitted with luxurious goose-down duvets and locally made Welsh wool coverlets. Outside, the cottage offers a lawned garden with views over a paddock and pond, as well as a wood-fired hot tub, perfect for relaxing evenings under the stars while enjoying the natural sounds of the farm's wildlife.
Penyrallt Fach Cottage is accessed via a half-mile driveway, making it a serene retreat from urban life. The surrounding area is rich in history and scenic landscapes, with attractions such as the National Wool Museum in Drefach Velindre and independent shops in Newcastle Emlyn and Cardigan. Visitors are encouraged to explore local historic sites, including Castell Henllys, a reconstructed Neolithic settlement, and to enjoy boat trips from Newquay or Cardigan to witness dolphins and seals in Cardigan Bay, making for exciting day outings.
