This character farm cottage is near the listed, traditional farmhouse though quite separate and is within the curtilage of the old, stone farm buildings. It offers a warm welcome into a comfortable kitchen/dining/sitting-room where a wood-burning stove and exposed beams give it great character. The scrubbed farmhouse table has seating for 4 and the very well equipped kitchen offers a cooker, micro-wave and refrigerator. In the sitting area there is a sofa and two easy chairs, lots of books, a TV, video player and radio. The two bedrooms are simply and attractively furnished with a double bed in one and two single beds in the other. The bathroom has a bath, lavatory and wash-basin. The washing-machine is also in the bathroom. All bed-linen and towels are provided. All fuel and electricity is included in the rent. Short breaks October to May £30 per person per night (Children under 12 £15 per night) |

The holiday cottage is surrounded by a lawn and overlooks a paddock with a large pond. The farm is a fully organic, working, traditional family farm certificated with the Soil Association. Visitors are welcome to see all aspects of the farm with its herd of rare traditional Hereford cattle and Ayrshire dairy cows, and to walk over the 140 acres of pasture and woodland set on a hillside overlooking the Teify Valley. There is also a small farm shop. |

Besides the lovely beaches of Cardigan Bay and the mountains there
are many attractive old market towns, superb castles and countless
sites of pre-historic and historic interest, including the tiny
cathedral city of St David's. It is a fine area for walking and
bird-watching. The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path is only half an hour
away. Cardigan
is an attractive Welsh market town on the north shore of the
Pembrokeshire Peninsula. The town sits above the wide expanse of
Cardigan Bay, which is designated as a Special Area of Conservation.
The Bay supports a population of some 130 bottlenose dolphins, and
porpoises as well as grey seals are frequently seen close to shore.
The area is also part of the Ceredigion Heritage Coast. The town itself has a long and tumultuous history. It was the
principal town of the old Welsh kingdom of Deheubarth. When the Normans first invaded the kingdom in the late 11th
century, Cardigan was one of the prizes they aimed for. The Normans
built Cardigan Castle overlooking the Teifi River, but the Welsh
refused to be beaten. The town was taken and retaken several times
during the 12th century. Today the castle keep and two towers can be
seen, but the interior is not open to the public. It was during one of the periods of Welsh ascendancy that the
first eisteddfod was held here, in 1176. The eisteddfod is a sort of
cultural love-in, a mixture of music, poetry, prose, and celebration
of Welsh customs and culture. The Welsh National Eisteddfod is now
an annual event held in a different place each year. If the
crumbling ruins of ancient castles do not stir your blood, perhaps
you'd prefer a newer attraction. The Cardigan Heritage Centre opened
in 1997 in a converted 18th century warehouse on Teifi Wharf. The
Centre has permanent exhibits tracing the history of Cardigan from
the days before the coming of the Normans. |
