About the home

What an amazing place!

The former St Cwnlle's church has just been converted with great sensitivity, imagination and flair retaining many original features and creating new out of old. As well as combining every modern comfort, it is also ecologically sound.

The historic University town of Lampeter is about 8 miles away and has a good selection of shops and eateries. Aberaeron, a very colourful Georgian seaside town, is also about 8 miles away and makes a good day trip as do Aberystwyth and Devil's Bridge.

If you ever wanted a really special place to stay this is it!

The West Wales / Pembrokeshire / Ceredigion region

Lampeter sits in the countryside in the upper Teifi Valley and is the oldest university town in Wales, The bustling market town is a hive of activity and in the 18th century was an important gathering place for the Drovers. These people gathered huge herds of livestock to be walked all the way to the markets of southeast England. the Drovers established some of Wales oldest banking institutions- all of which have now been assimilated into Uk banks- but te sign of the rearing horse maintained by Lloyds remains to remind present generations of these merchants long ago as the horse is, indeed, a Welsh mountain pony.

The Romans once mined for gold near Lampeter at Pumpsaint. The site of the old goldmine is now managed by the National Trust.

The Lampeter area

From spectacular coastal walks along the Ceredigion Coastal Path affording glimpses of dolphins, seals, porpoise and marine birds; through the lush green river valleys of the Teifi, Aeron, Ystwyth and Rheidol; to the heathered uplands and forests of the Cambrian Mountains where red kites and buzzards soar majestically above - the panoply of walking opportunities on offer is hard to better.

Ceredigion offers a competitive selection of quality golf courses ranging from meadow and parkland greens to coastal links with spectacular scenery Mountain biking enthusiasts make a bee-line for the Nant Yr Arian Forest Centre which offers some of the most interesting and challenging routes in Wales. Meanwhile, road biking devotees can enjoy a plethora of quiet road networks centred on Ceredigion's three Wales Cycle Break Centres
