Hen Hafod Cottage is one of two cottages converted from 18th century stone and slate barns. They are set in a picturesque farmyard setting and surrounded by 30 acres of farmland in the beautiful rolling Carmarthenshire hills. One well behaved dog is welcome (under strict control please due to livestock).
On the farm there is plenty to do and see: why not enjoy a picnic in one of the fields, by the ponds or in the woods; take a walk in 30 acres of fields with ponds, hedgerows and orchards where you will see many different birds and wildlife; explore the woodland walk; take a farm tour and meet the animals, including ducks, goats, chickens and sheep or find the ancient standing stone in the small orchard close by.
The cottages offer stylish and comfortable accommodation and are ideal for those in search of a peaceful and rural holiday. Within easy reach are the excellent beaches of the Cardigan coastline and Brechfa Forest, which is ideal for walking and cycling.
Known as the ‘Garden of Wales’ Carmarthenshire offers some superb public gardens. The National Botanic Gardens, Aberglasney and Cae Hir are all within a half hour drive of the cottages. Numerous medieval castles and forts are also within easy reach.
This working small holding has a variety of animals for you to enjoy. A woodland walk, picnic area and a number of ponds can also be enjoyed on the farm. If you want to truly relax and have a break from cooking, home cooked evening meals are available for you to have in your cottage by arrangement with the owner and they often include home grown/reared or local produce.
