About this property
Ty Barcud is one of two charming, adjoining, adults only (18+) cottages ideally positioned at the foothills of the rolling Cambrian Mountains and within easy reach of the unspoilt West Wales coast. Part of a former small farm dating back to the 1600s, Ty Barcud, a converted barn, sits in a tranquil location above the village of Llanfair Clydogau, with far-reaching views down the Teifi Valley to the Cambrians. The location is ideally suited to those seeking a peaceful, rural location away from the bustle of everyday life, whilst being within easy reach of the coast and many other local attractions. The cottage has its own south facing garden, enclosed with fences, and hedging for privacy, surrounding the cottage are extensive landscaped grounds, comprising lawns, formal planting and areas set aside for nature to run wild, you'll find some truly wonderful spots to read a book, throw down a picnic rug, or just relax and unwind. The estate is a haven for a huge amount of wildlife, from hedgehogs to hares, we have wrens nesting in the drystone walls and kites circling overhead, at night the owl's hoot is a comforting reminder that you are somewhere special. There are two fields which guests and their dogs are welcome to use, the three-acre upper field is enclosed with stock fencing, which provides a relatively secure area for obedient dogs to be exercised off lead, this field is kept with short mown grass for this purpose, escape artists and less obedient dogs are welcome, but on lead please. Within the upper field is a fenced area with picnic bench, positioned to make the most of the fantastic views from the property, here guests can enjoy alfresco drinks or dining whilst keeping their dogs close by. During the summer months, guests are also welcome to use the lower field which is left for grass and wild flowers to grow, a meandering footpath is mown around the perimeter of the lower field, which may be used for on-lead walks. In all, there are just under 8 acres of grounds for guests to enjoy. The nearby villages of Llanddewi Brefi, Tregaron, and the market town of Lampeter have some great eateries and independent shops for you to discover, for days out to the coast, destinations such as Aberaeron and New Quay are within easy reach, or you may choose to walk a section of the breath-taking coastal path, and find a quiet cove to yourselves. In the cottage you'll find a good selection of leaflets covering local attractions, with the coast on one side and mountains on the other, there is always a great day out to be enjoyed. From busy days out, to pure relaxation, this is the perfect cottage for your holiday all-year round. Blaencyswch Holiday Cottages are in a dark skies area - the absence of night-time light pollution makes for some of the best star gazing around, on a clear night the skyscape is truly awe-inspiring, all of this awaits at Ty Burcud!

We found everything as on the photos and well equipped - good pans and plenty of equipment. Good layout and information from Digby and Penny particularly gems like Watson and Pratt were fantastic. Little things like a boot jack at the door make all the difference.

Digby and Penny always make it such a pleasurable stay that we can't wait to book up another visit. The cottages, whether it is the smaller 2 bedroomed cottage or the larger 3 bedroomed cottage are spotlessly clean. There is everything you need. The furniture equipment, beds and bedding, towels etc are to a high standard. Digby and Penny are so friendly and approachable and helpful on every way. We would highly recommend a visit. You most certainly won't be disappointed.
