The nearby village of Llangeitho has a shop and café, great for a cooked breakfast or a snack and suitable for all the day to day essentials, as well as a friendly pub serving home cooked food. The area is abundant with walks and cycle routes (plenty starting from the cottage) and mountain biking opportunities. The market town of Tregaron is 3 miles away and was once a very strategic point for taking animals from the farms in West Wales to markets in England. Before railways, it is said around 30,000 animals were escorted overland on drovers roads through the Cambrian Mountains. Today it’s still a small thriving rural town and is a ’Walkers are Welcome’ town; the annual walking festival held in May is a firm favourite on the walking calendar.

Competitors and visitors come from all over the UK and Ireland for the annual horse trotting and carriage racing too. With independent shops, the Rhiannon Welsh Gold Centre, and an award winning restaurant and pub it’s well worth a visit. Just a mile beyond, you will find the stunning Cors Caron Nature Reserve, over 2000 acres of finest raised bog system with an access-friendly boardwalk route through it. Visit the ruins of the 12th century Cistercian abbey at Strata Florida and of course explore the Cambrian Mountains by road, cycle or foot. A variety of guided walking tours are available via local organisers. A 30-minute drive will bring you to the fantastic Ceredigion coastline where you will find beaches (many dog friendly all year round), dolphin-watching boat trips and the towns of Aberystwyth with its cliff railway, pier and long promenade, plus it is home to one of Wales’ most picturesque steam train journeys through the valley over to Devil’s Bridge. Visit the attractive and colourful Georgian harbour town of Aberaeron, famous for its honey ice cream or and quaint fishing town New Quay, both are great places to go for restaurants, shops, boat rides, and dolphin spotting. Beach 9½ miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 1 mile.

Penrhiw can be booked together with Ty Back Twt (ref UK10402) to accommodate up to 9 guests.

    We had a lovely 7 night stay at this cottage. Very spacious, plenty of room for 5 adults and a dog to spread out in comfort. Plenty of kitchen utensils, glasses, plates etc. added bonus of pool table which kept us all entertained. If you have small children there was a toy box and plenty of games. Plenty to do all within a 40 minute drive. We visited Aberaeron, New Quay, Aberystwyth and Devils Bridge, all worth a visit. We also visited a bee farm close to New Quay that was really interesting, although we spent a fortune on all their lovely products. The 3 horseshoe pub in the village had a good menu, reasonably priced and the landlord and locals were really friendly. I would recommend staying at Penrhiw and you will get a good nights sleep as it so quiet.
