Travel cot and highchair available on request. 2 stairgates. Welcome pack. Private patio at front. Rear courtyard with garden furniture. Bike store (shared with OY3). Private parking for 3 cars. Please note: The property has a natural water supply from spring.. The semi-detached barn conversions of Awel Y Mynydd (ref OY3) and Golygfar Mynydd (ref OY4), meaning Mountain Breeze and Mountain View respectively, have been lovingly created by the neighbouring owners to provide luxurious holiday accommodation in a wonderful setting on their working sheep farm, taking full advantage of the stunning views and total tranquillity of the rolling hills and Cambrian Mountains, where there is an abundance of wildlife and red kites. At night time, this is an ideal spot for star gazing. Featuring exposed stonework, beams, slate flooring, bespoke oak kitchens, luxury roll top baths and cosy wood-burning stoves, these holiday homes are a perfect base at any time of year. A warm Welsh welcome is assured by the owners, or ‘Croeso Cynnes’ as the locals say.
About 1 mile away lies Strata Florida Abbey, the remains of a medieval Cistercian abbey, founded in 1164. The preserved ruins of its church and cloisters are open to visitors. Beside it are the burial grounds where celebrated Welsh poet and writer Dafydd ap Gwilym and several Welsh princes are buried. The village of Pontrhydfendigaid offers pubs serving meals and village shop for essentials. Nearby, historic Tregaron has an award-winning pub and restaurant, the Welsh Gold Centre renowned for handmade, Celtic-inspired jewellery, Welsh tea room and art exhibition, and is a ‘Walkers are Welcome’ town. The annual Bro Tregaron Walking Festival is held in May, and the town is also as a centre for horse trotting and carriage racing. Tregaron also holds festivals to honour Twm Sion Cati, who originated from the region and is celebrated as the ‘Robin Hood of Wales’. The town itself was a strategic point for drovers taking animals from west Wales to markets in England - they were driven overland through the Cambrian Mountains to markets in London and even as far as Kent. The Tregaron to Abergwesyn mountain road was originally the first stage of the drover’s route, now a stunning scenic drive.
The Cambrian Mountains and Tywi Forest are a paradise for walkers, mountain bikers and horse riders, where trails lead to the Strata Florida Abbey, Cwm Doethie, Elan Valley, Llanddewi Brefi, Cors Caron, Soar-y-Mynydd and picturesque Llyn Brianne Reservoir, all renowned for their breathtaking views. Guided walks are available through the Cambrians including Hinterland walks, exploring the locations used in the well-known TV detective series. The wonderful Cors Caron Nature Reserve, set between Tregaron and Pontrhydfendigaid covers over 2,000 acres and comprises three raised bogs built up from deep layers of peat that have taken around 12,000 years to form. It is a wild landscape made accessible by a network of boardwalks that enable visitors to get right into the heart of varied habitats, with over 170 species of birds having been recorded. Within walking distance are the remote lakes of Teifi Pools - Llyn Egnant, Llyn Hir and Llyn Teifi surrounded by open moorland; the lakes are renowned for their quality brown trout, and angling permits are available locally. Within ½ mile lies an ancient holy healing well connected with medieval religious foundations and miraculous healing powers. For walkers, the 21-mile Ystwyth Trail follows some parts of the old Great Western Railway line, connecting Aberystwyth with Tregaron, and Lampeter with Devils Bridge. Within an easy drive is the Ceredigion Heritage coastline with its coastal path and golden beaches, or enjoy dolphin watching, boat trips and visiting colourful seaside towns and villages such as Aberaeron, New Quay and Aberystwyth.
After a day exploring this magical area, the serene environment makes the perfect place in which to relax and unwind. Beach 17 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 2¾ miles.
Awel Y Mynydd (OY3) and Golygfa’r Myndd (OY4) can be booked together to accommodate up to 10 guests.

Monica was so helpful and welcoming.
Monica was so helpful and welcoming. The cottage is beautiful, very well equipped and the views amazing to wake up to every morning. It is also very peaceful and safe for children to play outside (no traffic)
You do need to be organised to ensure you have what you need in the way of food and drink as although there is a little shop/post office in the nearest village, the nearest decent supermarket is in Tregaron, 7-8 miles away.
We would go again.

This cottage is outstanding.
This cottage is outstanding. It is equipped to the highest standard and set in breathtaking scenery. The owners, whilst not being intrusive, could not do enough for us to ensure that our stay was perfect in every way. And it was perfect. We have stayed in many cottages in different locations over the years and this is one of the very best. Highly recommended

We had a lovely stay.
We had a lovely stay. The cottage is really well decorated and the owners have filled it with high quality furniture. The kitchen was really well stocked with nice cutlery, crockery and utensils-not the usual mishmash of whatever previous guests have left behind. The owners even provided a basket of supplies, Welsh cakes, fruit loaf, Walnut and coffee cake etc which was much appreciated. I took my two parents, my wife and my two young children. Mr Thomas let my oldest (5) bottle feed twin lambs each evening when we returned from days out. He also took him up a field on his quad bike to feed the sheep. As you can imagine, this was the highlight of the hols for him. The stay was great, the family were lovely and it was great value for money.
