Former farm buildings have been transformed into five immaculate cottages situated around a courtyard, at the end of a private lane. The original character, stone walls and timbers have been retained where possible, but with plenty of modern comforts. There are five cottages in all – The Coach House, Gorse Cottage, Oak Cottage, The Stables and The Granary, sleeping between 2-8 people. All of the cottages have a cosy woodburner to relax at the end of a day out in the fresh air. Just perfect!

About Troedyrhiw

Troedyrhiw Holiday Cottages are an idyllic bolthole for you to reset, regroup, relax, or whatever you want your holiday to be.  

Five stone farm buildings have been renovated in a beautiful and sympathetic way, to retain the original charm and traditional feel of the properties, whilst giving guests comfort and cosiness, tastefully mixing the old with new.  These buildings echo of their years hard at work on a busy Welsh farm and are now enjoying their retirement on our little smallholding. 

Perhaps to call Troedyrhiw a smallholding may be misleading, as this peaceful and gentle corner of Ceredigion is most definitely not hard at work.  We have retained 13 acres of the original 200 acre farm, and it is home to a small handful of friendly animals who are very much our pets, enjoying the peace as much as we are.  Troedyrhiw is home to chickens, horses and a very sociable Kune Kune piggy, whose sole purpose is to eat the vegetable waste and make friends!  This all means that there will be no tractors or milking to wake you up at this peaceful retreat, with dog walks and turning ponies out being the only early morning activity you will see!

When you arrive down the little lane, with the stream meandering along with you through the glacial melt water valley you will be hidden away in a woodland of indigenous trees, which are home to red kites and all sorts of other bird and animal life.  There are beautiful walks from your cottage door through the woodland and along the stream, or up the hill to enjoy an open vista with the Bluestone country of the Preseli Mountains as its backdrop.  From up there, on a clear day, it really does feel like you can see forever.  The woods are also home to plenty of animal life too, and if you ae lucky, you will even see the otters playing in the stream and the heron fishing!

As long as you keep your dogs on leads and gates closed, and obviously respect the animals, you are welcome to wander around the grounds and explore.  Children love the shallow stream with two areas of low bank for a little splash, and dogs will be in their element sniffing through the woods.  From here, you can walk, run, or cycle, although the valley location means there are some pretty challenging hills to face! The cottages are also perfectly situated for walkers and cyclists, being a short distance from the Ceredigion Coast Path, Preseli Bluestone mountains and the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.

The sky at night is dark, we are just a bit too far from the main roads and towns for the lights to pollute our dark space, so if you are fan of star gazing, you can’t go far wrong here.  We have even caught a glimpse of the northern lights on occasions!

Troedyrhiw Holiday Cottages are an idyllic bolthole for you to reset, regroup, relax, or whatever you want your holiday to be.

In our little corner of Ceredigion, and just a stones throw from Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire, you’ll find some of the finest landscapes in Wales. Local towns and villages such as Cardigan, Newcastle Emlyn and Aberaeron are well known for their links to medieval Wales centuries ago and remain very much unspoilt, retaining their essence of Welshness.

Whilst you are here, you can spend relaxing days visiting the abbey at St Dogmaels, The Welsh Wildlife Centre at Cilgerran, Cenarth Falls, stunning blue flag and dog friendly beaches with coast walks which you may even share with seals and dolphins as companions, breathtaking mountain walks in the Preselis, home of the bluestones used to create Stonehenge (just HOW did they get them there?!), market towns boasting eclectic and unique shops, and many more attractions, depending on your interests.

Troedyrhiw itself lies at the very bottom of Ceredigion, close to the edge of the Pembrokeshire National Park, and the Ceredigion Heritage Coast. We are only 4 miles from Cardigan, famed for the fact that the newly restored Castle and house in the town was the site of the very first Welsh Eisteddfod (cultural festival) in 1176. Nearby, the River Teifi flows through the centre of the ancient port town of Cardigan, creating a very picturesque scene, with a few eating establishments making the most of the riverside views.

Should you decide to holiday in one of our holiday cottages you will find plenty of places to visit and sites to enjoy in these market towns or quiet villages and hamlets. If you would like to book a cottage please click here.
