About this property
A comfortable, self-catering cottage on an organic dairy farm overlooking the tranquil Teifi Valley in rural north Carmarthenshire, west Wales. Enjoy a country retreat in a beautiful landscape with plenty of peace and quiet. There is a private hot-tub for the exclusive use of guests staying in the cottage. Centrally located, Penyrallt Fach Cottage is an ideal place for relaxing or venturing out to discover the beaches, mountains and numerous attractions of west Wales, with Pembrokeshire, the coast of Cardigan Bay, Carmarthenshire and St David's all within easy reach.
Venture down a leafy country lane, over a old stone bridge and up the farm drive to arrive at Penyrallt Fach Cottage. This pretty, stone-built, Grade II listed Victorian former Piggery has been converted into a delightful & comfortable holiday cottage that sleeps up to three guests. It is on a secluded, traditional, organic dairy farm for a real country getaway either as a short break (bookings must be a minimum of 3 nights) to full weeks or longer.
The cottage which is adjacent to, though quite separate from, the 17th century traditional Welsh farmhouse, is an ideal self-catering base from which to explore the many delights of west Wales. The stunning beaches of Cardigan Bay are just thirty minutes away and the castles, gardens and many historic sites of Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire & Cerdigion are all within easy reach as are the attractive small market towns of the Tefii Valley which forms the boundaries between the three counties. The beautiful Cathedral City of St David ’s (the smallest city in Britain) is also a pleasant drive down into Pembrokeshire.
For those who enjoy walking, the spectacular All Wales Coast-Path is a must and there is also fantastic hill walking inland in the Cambrian mountains of Ceredigion and the Preseli hills of Pembrokeshire.
Penyrallt Home Farm is a haven for wildlife with over 20 acres of woodland, three ponds and a small river running along the northern boundary where otters have been seen. There are resident badgers, rabbits, foxes as well as buzzards, herons, red kites and kingfishers.
The farm has been managed organically for over thirty years and supplies organic milk to a Pembrokeshire-based organic dairy company which provides the market with liquid milk, butter & cheese.
