  The links to Map will open a Google map showing the locality of the property
 

The links to Satellite will open a satellite view of the area around the property - particularly useful to view the country around the property. Is it on the beach front, surrounded by pasture, close to a major attraction, by the river, or close to a busy motorway? The satellite image may be of low quality in some remote areas.

 

The Route links will display a road map showing the route to the property from a major city with detailed instructions on the left side of the display.

 

You can print these maps out to take with you. We have taken every care to ensure that the location of the properties is accurate however we recommend that before you book a property you also check its physical location using the link named "Find this property on a map" in the main property details page that opens when you click either the Property Ref, or the picture of the property on this page.

  Llangoedmor, Nr Cardigan, Dyfed

Fancy getting away from it all? Try one of the comfortable barn conversions on this 91-acre working farm, 4miles from Cardigan Bay, well off the beaten track, with superb views of river and countryside. Accessing the cottages down a half mile of track, each cottage has its own patio (Rose Barn and The Coach House have their own gardens), there is a shared garden and the surrounding farmland is bounded on three sides by rolling terrain.

Along the fourth side flows the Teifi - at whose mouth the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path begins. The river's changeable tidal waters offer free fishing for trout and salmon, and wonderful opportunities for observing abundant bird and wildlife, including otters. Rosehill Farm's setting offers the best of both worlds in an outstandingly lovely area - not only the scenic seascapes of the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, but also the breathtaking grandeur of the nearby Preseli Mountains.

Both coast and countryside offer superb walking and riding, as well as a rich variety of bird, animal and plant life. Long stretches of steep cliffs, small sandy coves and tracts of National Trust land are features of the Pembroke shoreline to be found within 5miles - and there are many places for swimming or launching small boats.

Touring in the area can take in a wide variety of historical sites, including a Bronze Age burial chamber at Cerrig-y-Gof, 13th-century castle ruins at Cilgerran and Newcastle Emlyn and museums of weaving at Maesslyn and Drefach Felindre. Golfers will find a fine 18-hole course only 4miles away at Gwbert on the Cardigan Bay coast where glorious scenery is an ideal accompaniment to a good game.

"Distinctive cottages set amongst wooded gardens - a haven of tranquillity in a lovely Welsh Valley . . ."
In one of the loveliest valleys in Wales and surrounded by woods and farmland whose titles date from the 14th century, The Maerdy was once the home farm of the historic Robert Peel Estate. The 300-year-old farmhouse and four of its original stone buildings have been beautifully converted to form superb holiday cottages, each in its own tranquil setting in mature wooded gardens with a stream. Equipped to Visit Wales `4 Star' standard (JBK, JPF, OBP & OLF) and `3 Star' standard (JBL), and furnished with many antiques with all modern comforts provided, they are warm and cosy retreats - ideal for a holiday at any time of year, and perfect for relaxing short breaks. The grounds offer plenty of space for children, and lovely walks from the cottage doors will delight country lovers, bird-watchers and serious hikers alike. The Maerdy can accommodate up to 35 visitors, which makes it a popular venue for larger families or groups. Close by are the Black Mountains, Llyne Brianne and Dinefwr Castle Estate, and within easy driving distance are several famous gardens including the new National Botanical Gardens of Wales, a unique project, completely created from scratch. Cardigan Bay and the excellent sandy beaches of The Gower are within an hours' drive. Trout and salmon fishing, climbing, swimming, golf and riding can all be enjoyed locally. Llandeilo 3 miles. Carmarthen 18 miles. Under the careful management of the nearby owner, the cottages offer a warm welcome with a tempting range of home-baked pies, cakes and complete evening meals, all available by arrangement (menu on request). All visitors will be met by the on-site managers who can advise of any catering requirements.
