Just outside the small hamlet of Talley, famed for its 12th-century abbey remains, sits Towy Cottage, one of two converted Welsh barns. Lovingly restored, this charming holiday retreat is ideal for a small family or a couple, who want to get away from it all and reconnect in this beautiful part of Carmarthenshire.
Situated on the owner’s working cow and sheep farm and lovingly furnished with comfort in mind, this terraced stone barn offers spacious accommodation with quality furnishings, a well-equipped kitchen, a cosy electric wood burner and a private patio complete with a hot tub. Sit back with a glass of wine and soak up the ambience of this wonderful location, perhaps while enjoying some al fresco dining or simply gazing up at the night sky. This is also a great location for wildlife watching, particularly for birds such as buzzards and red kites.
The surrounding areas are particularly popular with outdoor enthusiasts, being a natural playground for cyclists, ramblers and nature enthusiasts. The nearby Brechfa Forest and the Brecon Beacons National Park are the ideal place in which to escape the hum-drum of everyday life and spend a day exploring, discovering and enjoying all that this natural area has to offer.
Take a short drive to the picturesque Tywi Valley and discover the many sites dotted along the beautiful river, including dramatic 12-century castles Carreg Cennen and Dryslwyn, sitting high upon their embankments, or the Dinefwr Park National Nature Reserve with a picnic for a fabulous day out.
Also nearby are the gardens of Aberglasney Manor, inspiration to poets and artistic for centuries, the National Botanical Gardens of Wales, housing more than 8, 000 plants across 560-acre countryside, and the stylish yet historic town of Llandeilo with its wide range of eclectic gift shops and highly acclaimed restaurants. Beach 26 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 5 miles.
Towy Cottage can be booked together with Teifi Cottage to accommodate up to 6 guests.
