In a rural setting, but less than 5 miles east of the seaside town of Aberystwyth, and with beautiful views of the Rheidol Valley, Maesbangor Farmhouse is a large property with lots of room to spread out. Previously two homes, but now combined into one, this spacious semi-detached house offers seven bedrooms sleeping up to 14 guests.
The imposing front of the house looks across the valley, and the front garden even boasts a hot tub where you can relax and take in the view. As you enter inside you will appreciate how ideal the farmhouse is for families or friends who want that extra space, or perhaps a quiet corner. There is a large beamed dining room with a feature wood burner. Leading off is a conservatory overlooking the enclosed terrace with benches and tables as well as a small lawn. The kitchen, complete with a breakfast area, is well-equipped with everything you need to cook up a tasty treat.
On the other side of the house there is a living room with 50" Freeview TV and wood burner, as well as an additional living room. Also on this side of the house you’ll find kitchen number two; smaller than the first but still well-equipped. There are two staircases that lead to the first floor, one leading to four bedrooms, all en-suite, and the other leading to three further bedrooms, one of which is en-suite, and a family bathroom. This is the perfect location for a family holiday, or a break with a group of friends.
Imagine yourself sitting on the the sandy beach overlooking Cardigan Bay, watching dolphins, or perhaps exploring one of the many market towns in the surrounding area. The Victorian resort of Aberystwyth, with its electric cliff railway, promenade and pier, is close by, as is the compelling Cambrian Mountains, dotted with hill sheep farms, forest and lakeland. Take a meandering train ride on what was once a working link between the local lead mines and the harbour; the Vale of Rheidol Railway now runs a steam train service through the Rheidol Valley to Devil’s Bridge, where you can see the famous Mynach Falls, Devil’s Punch Bowl and Jacob’s Ladder. When you’re done with exploring for the day, come back and relax at Maesbangor Farmhouse or visit the gastro pub, situated within half a mile of the house. Beach 6 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant ½ mile.

Confirmed Guest
The farmhouse itself is amazing and the host was incredibly helpful - so the feedback is based purely on a few things that could easily be rectified.The carpets need replacing as there were a lot of stains on them and you could tell they were quite worn now. They also have a smell to them that you can detect when you walk into the room. The cupboard door in the kitchen for the washing machine needs fixing.Mattresses need replacing as the springs have gone in some of them. Only 1 King Size bed in the property despite it being advertised as King size beds in the double rooms - they were all double beds. The BBQ is charcoal but you need to buy your own charcoal and lighter fuel. One of the showers had hairs on the wall - not what you want to see when your the first person in the shower. The host knew it was a celebration weekend and very kindly provided a bottle of Prosecco and some chocolates which was a lovely gesture. Couldn’t fault the hosts at all!!

Lovely property with a very good host. The property was spacious, had good amenities and ample room for a large group of adults. Plenty of living area and ample bedrooms available. most bedrooms had an ensuite which made it convenient.

Superb cottage/house, very comfortable and everything you need for the stay. Loads of space, lovely scenery and the Red Kites were amazing to see! The log burners lacked some start up stuff like kindling and firefighters, but the kitchens were amazing and well kitted out. Will book again 👍
