Y Cwlwm - The Celtic Knot

About this property

Lampeter,Ceredigion Bay 4.6 miles. Y Cwlwm, an immaculate single-storey Celtic roundhouse near Lampeter in Ceredigion Bay. Perfect for couples seeking a romantic escape, this rural haven features a generously sized freestanding steel bath in a round summerhouse, perfectly placed to take in the sweeping views. Winding gently down a quiet path, you arrive at a uniquely shaped, timber-clad retreat surrounded by open countryside and nearby meadows dotted with wildflowers. Its curved silhouette and wooden-panelled exterior sit beautifully within the landscape, offering a sense of calm and quiet character from the moment you arrive. Step inside and you’re welcomed by a thoughtful entrance — an armchair and book stand invite you to pause, perhaps flick through a few pages before settling in.

It’s a gentle introduction to a place designed for slow living and shared moments. The open-plan living area is harmoniously arranged to keep each other close, whether you're following a recipe in the kitchen or listening to music as you unwind. Soft, relaxing tones and wooden flooring run throughout, creating a calm and cohesive atmosphere. In the sitting area, choose between watching TV or gazing out at the countryside from the comfort of the sofa — both offer their own kind of escape. The bedroom continues the theme of tranquility, with a wooden feature wall and soft, muted colours that make it easy to unwind.

There's a comfy king-size bed and a en-suite bathroom tucked neatly behind the bedroom, for added comfort and convenience. Above, Velux windows are perfectly placed for stargazing from bed, adding a quiet touch of magic to the evenings, while integrated blackout blinds ensure restful sleep whenever needed. Wake to views across the landscape — a gentle reminder of the world outside, waiting to be explored. Outside, the summerhouse offers a secluded retreat to soak in the scenery. A striking 2-metre-long, extra-deep freestanding bath stands ready and is perfect for a steaming soak or an invigorating cold plunge. Thoughtfully positioned, it invites you to unwind while taking in the countryside views.

Nearby, a patio invites you to linger over long, leisurely meals beneath the open sky — a space made for conversation, connection, and the simple pleasure of dining together. Slow down, switch off, and reconnect at Y Cwlwm — your peaceful escape in the heart of the countryside. Note: This property can be booked with refs. 1136441, & 1182786, together sleeping six guests.

Lampeter is the smallest and oldest university town in Wales, and boasts a fine selection of small, locally-owned shops.

Surrounded by beautiful rolling hills and rivers, the area is ideal for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers. The lovely market town of Llandovery and picturesque Aberaeron Harbour are both just short drives away and the nearby Dolaucothi Gold Mines are well worth a visit. The coastlines of Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire are also within a short drive offering spectacular sandy beaches, superb coastal walks and the opportunity to venture out on boat trips to spot some dolphins in their natural habitat. From ancient castles to modern theme parks, Lampeter is a great base to enjoy a holiday all year round.
