Our central location is ideal to explore the rural beauty of Carmarthenshire or visit the fabulous north or south coast beaches within 40 minutes.
Just 12 miles north of Carmarthen, we are easily accessible and though only half a mile from the main road, it feels like another world.
The Afon Gorwydd winds its way through the bottom of this tranquil valley and there are stunning views towards Llanllwni mountain and windfarm, and the distant Preseli Hills.
Enjoy the wildlife around the former farm; our frequent summer visitors include both Swallows and House Martins who love to nest in the eaves. Wonder at the dark skies and shining stars.
Recently converted from a large Victorian barn, saved from dereliction and lovingly restored, the apartments are full of history and atmosphere.
