Description

The cycle friendly Cambrian Cottages are nestled in a small valley in Gwyddgrug, just 12 miles north of Carmarthen. Cambrian Cottages is an award-winning collection of three eco-friendly self-catering apartments converted from a lovingly restored Victorian barn. Originally a period farm known as ‘Berllan’, the property was purchased in 2017 and took six years to restore, finally opening to guests in January 2024.

Perfect for Cyclists

We are just 4.5 miles from National Cycle Network Route 82, with Brechfa Forest and Llanllwni Mountain close by, making the cottages ideal for mountain bikers and road cyclists alike. On-site cycling facilities include:

– Free electric bike charging
– Secure indoor bike storage
– On-site hose-down point
– Drying room for wet kit and clothing

The Accommodation

Three self-catering apartments can be booked individually or together. Y Llofft Wair (The Hayloft) is a spacious (65m2) two-bedroom ground-floor apartment sleeping up to four, with a log burner. Y Llofft Stabl (The Stable Loft) is an 80 m² two-bedroom first-floor apartment that sleeps four and has a wood-burning stove. Y Cwt Mochyn (The Pigsty) is a cosy 37m2 one-bedroom apartment for couples. All units have private outdoor seating areas with fire pits and panoramic views of the Carmarthenshire hills.
