Station House is so charming that you could easily imagine it as part of a film set. Built by the Manchester and Milford Railway as the Strata Florida Railway Station Master’s house, it has been sympathetically modernised to provide very comfortable accommodation for couples and families who enjoy spending time outdoors in the countryside and on the coast. It is perfect for self-catering but, with the popular Black Lion in Pontrydfendigaid just over a mile away and several other great pubs in the area, there are lots of options if you don’t feel like cooking.
The house is close to Ystrad Meurig, Ffair-rhos and Pontrhydfendigaid villages. The old railway line has been transformed into the Ystwyth Trail which is a favourite for walkers and cyclists of all abilities. Station House is on the Cors Caron Nature Reserve. Bwlch Nant Yr Arian Forest visitor centre is also only thirty minutes away with excellent mountain bike trails, a new skills park, cafe and Red Kite daily feeding centre. Brechfa Forest and mountain bike centre is also within driving distance (an hour) for those happy to travel a little further, and there are exciting trails around Machynlleth too.
As well as wonderful walking opportunities, there are several hides for bird watching and always something beautiful to watch and appreciate whatever the season. A really nice place to walk around is the ruins of the Strata Florida Abbey where there is also an excellent local visitor centre with information about other walks nearby, including around Tregaron Bog.
Cardigan Bay is renowned for the beauty of its beaches, and the historic beach resort of Aberystwyth is only half an hour’s drive away. Aberystwyth has a long Victorian pier, promenade with traditional seaside entertainment, and a lovely stretch of sandy beach. It is a lively town with a large university campus, medieval castle ruins, a funicular railway, hillside fort, museum, and the National Library of Wales. Nearby beaches include Borth, Ynyslas and Clarach.
Lampeter is another friendly town where you can shop, eat and browse, while Llandrindod Wells, Cardigan (Aberteifi), Carmarthen and Machynlleth are other good choices for a day out. Mid-Wales is the ideal destination for a relaxed holiday with your favourite people, and staying in a character property like this charming station master’s house will only add to the fun.
