Local Ceredigion History

Our woodland is now open all year for guests to enjoy. There are a selection of well grown native and non-native trees which provide a habitat for a variety of birds, rabbits, squirrels and birds of prey. You may be lucky enough to spot Buzzards flying through the trees. They are amazing aerial acrobats! We suggest using the Merlin App to identify the birdsong you hear.

We have created a woodland walk of mown paths with other areas have been re-wilded to encourage more wildlife and butterflies. There are habitats formed out of cut branches for hedgehogs.

You will notice the lichen growing on some species such as Rowan which is a good indicator of the purity of the air here in West Wales.

We have placed two benches for our Guests to sit upon and enjoy the ambiance of the woodland.

The entire area is fenced with stock proof fencing so well-behaved dogs can investigate off the lead safely. Your dogs will love it! There is so much to sniff and explore. It is a small doggy paradise just on your doorstep.

We provide a bin for dog waste which we ask our guests to use.

To access simply walk down the drive to almost the end, turn right up the track, go through two gates and you are in the woods. The dog waste bin is by the second gate.

We hope you will enjoy our woodland as much as we do.

Welsh Holiday Cottages - Ceredigion

Oak, Ash and Cherry Cottages, named for the type of wood used to construct their handmade kitchens, were created from the farm’s original 18th century cow byre. Now tastefully converted to a high standard the old cow shed has been transformed into three, two bedroomed, well appointed cottages, suitable for people of all ages.

Cherry Cottage has its own exclusive master spa, housed within a log cabin and situated on a raised cobbled terrace with views of the Preseli Hills. Ash & Oak Cottages have their own private hot tubs situated in a fenced patio garden.

Young people from the age of 12 are welcome here at Blaenwenllan Cottages but due to the garden setting we do not have playground facilities or outdoor spaces for ball games. Step through the front door of any cottage and you will immediately enter a haven of comfort, with squashy sofas and comfortable beds.

From 2025 we are pleased to announce the addition of walks in our own woodland where peace and quiet can be enjoyed whilst walking on the mown paths or sitting on one of the two benches provided for your relaxation. The area is fully fenced and you can safely let your dog explore off the lead whilst you engage in bird watching or just enjoying the ambiance of our lovely woods.

The kitchens have everything you need to cook anything from a speedy fry-up to a family feast. Each cottage has been designed and equipped to be your holiday home from home. We provide all the necessities at no charge, on request, so you don't have to bring it all with you.

We hope we have thought of everything – so you don’t have to!

Situated in the hamlet of Bryngwenith in Ceredigion with its beautiful Georgian Chapel, guests can enjoy the peace and quiet of rural living whilst staying only a couple of miles away from historic Newcastle Emlyn. Local history tells us that this quaint old town is the place where the last dragon in Wales was slain. It is believed that the dragon will one day return, so children need to keep a good look out when visiting the old Castle! The town has a good selection of shops, pubs, cafes, takeaways and a hotel. It still holds a sheep market every week on a Thursday.

Standing in a beautiful garden setting the three cottages are furnished in a contemporary country-cottage style with with a mix of oak and pine furniture. Each is equipped with an electric ceramic hob cooker, dishwasher, fridge and microwave. For food prep there is a rather nice double width kitchen trolley. If needed more designated freezer space is available in the separate laundry room. Furnished with comfortable sofas and armchairs the living areas invite guests to relax and unwind. There is a TV with freeview and DVD player and feature fireplace. Upstairs there is a double and a twin bedroom with a shower room. Outside, through the French Doors, each cottage has a hot tub in a private patio area with garden furniture. Oak cottage has a conservatory with cane furniture.

Washing bikes or dirty boots is no problem. We have an area for that just outside the barn and a drying area in the laundry room for coats as well. Bikes and bulky equipment can be safely stored in our barn. For the car there is ample parking on site.

We want your stay with us to be as comfortable and stress free as possible. On arrival we provide a Welcome Pack consisting of tea, coffee, bread, jam, some eggs and biscuits. We understand that shopping is not necessarily high on your list of priorities, so why not book a home delivery via Tesco?

All bedding and towels, heating and lighting is included in the price. We hope we have thought of everything to make your stay with us as happy and relaxing as possible.
