The West Wales / Pembrokeshire / Carmarthenshire region

Mid Wales is a beautiful unexplored area of mountains, valleys, rivers cascading through deep gorges and quaint market towns steeped in ancient myths and legends. In contrast the green rolling countryside of Carmarthenshire (The garden of Wales) gives way to two vast, golden beaches at the mouth of the river Towy, Pembrey and Pendine.

Visit the many castles and follies, find out about Merlin, King Arthur, and our local legend Twm Sion Catti ( the Welsh Robin Hood). Or be active and enjoy fly fishing for sewin, (sea trout) and salmon, go pony trekking, mountain biking, kayaking, walking, and bird watching.

The Garden of Wales is the home to the National Botanical Garden of Wales, Aberglasney, Dinefwr Park and Castle, and Pembery Country Park.

The Boat House at Laugharne which is now a museum celebrates the life and work of our very own Dylan Thomas famous 20th century poet and writer of 'Under Milk Wood' and 'Do Not Go Gentle Into That Goodnight.'

The Brecon Beacons, The Cambrian Mountains, the blue flag beaches of Pendine and Pembery and famous poets and legends, what more could you ask for? Come and see for yourself.

The LLandovery area

We are situated in the Upper Towy valley an area called 'Little Switerzerland,' by the locals. It is a gateway into the undiscovered Cambrian Mountains, where red kites glide on unseen thermals and vast open moorland and moutains drop down into tumbling mountain streams and gorges.

Explore the forests, valleys and shores of Llyn Brianne reservoir in utter solitude, no crowds, no queues, just clean mountain air, beautiful scenery and a feeling of peace and tranquillity.

Rhandirmwyn means valley of the minerals where lead used to be mined in the last century, the Dolaucothi Gold Mines are close by and you can take a fascinating underground tour or try your luck at panning for gold. Search for Twm Sion Catti's cave at the Dinas Bird Reserve, there is a walk round the reserve that follows the River Towy as it cascades over huge glacial boulders, it's spetacular and Twm's cave is hidden in the hillside.

If you crave excitement and an adrenalin rush then hurtling down the new mountain bike trail at Cwm Rhayder should suffice but for those who want to take in the beautiful scenery at a more leisurely pace then walks up the the waterfall have been described by some of our guests as a hidden fairy glen.

Llandovery market town is seven miles away and has a collection of pubs, shops and a heritage centre, this truly is a land of myths and legends and here you can learn about 'The Lady of the Lake' and the 'Physicians of Myddfai.'
Rhandirmwyn has a village shop and a local pub that serves good food and a selection of real ales, Cilycwm village, which lies in the opposite direction has a lovely country pub that serves delicious home cooked food and further along the valley towards the mountains is the small village of Ffarmers where the Drovers Arms serves excellent local welsh cuisine.

Come to Penrhyn to unwind, relax by the river, try your hand at fly fishing, trek across the mountains, speed down forestry trails on a mountain bike, or seek out ancient legends and explore castles and Celtic market towns.

“Beautiful and so relaxing. Can't wait to go back!” Really can't wait to go back. The barn has been beautifully converted and is big enough for large groups. My wife and I went with our six month old baby who loved stroking the horses that Mick and Jackie have. Tess the sheep dog was also a big hit. The whole area is stunning with plenty of walks and other attractions to keep the whole family entertained. Mick and Jackie are the perfect hosts and we look to going back soon.

What a beautiful setting - gorgeous conversion of the barn and just so welcoming and relaxing. Was perfect to sit and chat and enjoy the views of the countryside - both inside and out on the patio or down by the river. Mary and Bob Mullen USA

Mick & Jacquie, - Thank you so much. The house is so beautiful and very comfortable and such a fantastic setting. We loved the personal touches - the fresh flowers, milk for that first cup of tea, the bowl of fruit and the welsh cakes. Jamie & Gay - Australia & USA

Thanks for fantastic week - absolutely amazing! The barn and surrounding area is absolutely incredible, it's a wonderful place to be. The river is so soothing and we loved getting to know the horses and dogs. Thanks for a truly amazing week, we'll be back! Lara and Sam, Croydon, Surrey.

Thank you MIck and Jacquie for a wonderful holiday in your superb barn. We enjoyed the tranquil setting and it was great having you close by for local information. The girls have had a brilliant week and our dog Rosie has enjoyed the fantastic walks and Tess for company. Paul and Roger enjoyed the fishing - 3 brown trout caught in just a few days......all thrown back. We will definitely be back, can't wait! The Carter family, Oxford.
