Oak Cottage was once a farm building which has been restored sympathetically to allow original features like stone walls and slate steps to remain, whilst creating a bright and cosy holiday home from home, with superfast broadband and original local artwork. Within a small courtyard with the other farm buildings, on what was once a working farm, Oak and its neighbours are now five star holiday cottages, offering a fabulous mix of original charm and modern living. The courtyard is at the end of a no-through lane, in a small wooded valley, with a stream running through it, and Oak Cottage sits in a slightly elevated position with a seating area outside the stone steps leading up to the front door.
In through the front door, you will find yourself in the kitchen, a bright room with plenty of natural sunlight from the front door which looks over the courtyard and the Velux window in the high ceiling. The kitchen comprises of a dining table to sit four people, original stone wall, dishwasher and retro fridge-freezer, and is well equipped to rustle up a culinary delight or two.
Off the doorway from the kitchen, you will find the twin bedded room, which looks out over the courtyard, and also the bath room, which consists of a shower over bath, and heated towel rail.
Back into the kitchen and out the other side, down three slate steps is the lounge, with TV and fire stick, and a cosy Aga woodburner, all laid ready for your arrival, with a complimentary basket of logs and sticks.
From here, you go up the stairs to the master bedroom, with cute owl bedside lamps, Velux window and door to some steps down the outside of the cottage.
Visitors to Oak Cottage are welcome to explore the grounds and visit Blossom, the Shetland pony, or the Ryland Sheep and Kune Kune pigs, as well as the chickens. There are lovely walks from the cottage, or the children’s play area and stream to enjoy. In addition, there is use of the shared laundry room on site, and dedicated off road parking. Free-range hen eggs and additional logs are available from the owners.
Oak Cottage is a perfect base to explore this corner of West Wales, with its many beaches, the mountains of Bluestone country, and little market towns, or, if you prefer, it is a cosy and homely place to arrive, settle and relax…whatever your holiday means to you.
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.
