Venture down a leafy country lane & over an ancient stone bridge to find Penyrallt Fach, a Grade 2 listed Victorian former Piggery, now a delightful and comfortable cottage on a traditional Welsh organic dairy farm. The cottage has great character, with exposed beams, fine wood-lined ceilings and wood floors. Much of the furniture has been made by the owners using timber harvested from the woods on the farm. The main room is an open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting room with a large farmhouse table with seating for four, a comfortable sofa and easy chairs and a very efficient wood-burning stove. The kitchen is fully equipped with an electric cooker with ceramic hob, micro-wave oven, refridgerator and all necessary utensils, cooking equipment, cutlery, crockery & glass. Tea-towels are supplied. On arrival guests will find a small complimentary welcome basket, a home-baked cake & fresh flowers from the garden on the table. The comfortable sitting-room is an ideal place to relax in front of the wood-burning stove, after long walks in the hills or days on the beach. As well as TV, DVD player & digital radio with iPod dock, there is an extensive selection of DVDs, books & board-games provided. The two bedrooms are simply and attractively furnished; the main bedroom has a double bed with a king-sized goose-down duvet & Welsh tapestry counterpane. In the smaller twin-bed room, the beds have been built echoing the style of old -fashioned Welsh cupboard beds giving the room a quirky, quaint feel which is loved by children of all ages. The twin beds are supplied with organic wool duvets. The beds have two pillows per person, with all bedlinen supplied, as well as lovely Welsh wool blankets. There is an electric heater in the double bedroom & an electric blanket on the bed. Hot water bottles are provided. The bathroom is simple & functional with a bath (complete with yellow rubber ducks!) with hand-held shower, lavatory, wash-basin, washing-machine & heated towel-rail. All towels are supplied. The water supply for the farm & the cottage comes from the pure natural springs at the top of the farm. All fuel & electricity is included in the rental. Well-behaved dogs are welcome at a charge of £10 per dog (max. 2 dogs). The farm is a member of the Soil Association Open Farm Network and visitors are welcome to request a full guided tour of the farm, free of charge, giving them a opportunity to see a real working farm, or to take walks along the marked footpaths around the farm.

Holland *************************************** The Farm & Surrounding Area Set on a hillside, the farm has lovely views over the Teifi Valley and with its fields and woodlands is a peaceful setting for a relaxing holiday. Being in the depths of the countryside with no light pollution, there are ample opportunities for some spectacular star-gazing on clear nights. There is also the chance to observe wild-life on the farm, including many small birds such as nuthatches, tree-creepers & woodpeckers and sightings of king-fishers, red kites & buzzards. Badgers, foxes & rabbits are seen frequently and otters have been spotted on the small river that runs through the farm. A multitude of hedgerow flowers grow in the field banks and woods of the farm. The bluebells in spring are spectacular. As a base for discovering the hidden beauties of West Wales the cottage is ideally situated as it is between the Cambrian Mountains to the north, Cardigan Bay to the west and Pembrokeshire to the south. There are superb historic sites including many castles, St David\\\'s cathedral and ancient stones to visit as well as attractive small market towns and villages. The beaches of Cardigan Bay & Pembrokeshire are just a short drive away and the spectacular scenery of the Presceli Hills & the mountains of mid-Wales are equally accessible. The River Teifi is close by with its renowned salmon fishing and canoeing.
