Blaen-y-Cwm

A very special cottage in a very special spot



  • 3 large double bedrooms (2 with extra single beds)

    OSKIA @ Tregoyd Wild Wash hand soap & shower gel, Tregoyd Wild Hair conditioning shampoo

    Travel cot and highchair upon request

    Fully equipped kitchen with four gas hobs and two electric ovens

    Washing machine

    Fibre broadband and TV

    Central heating, underfloor heating and 2 wood burners

    Essentials provided; salt, pepper, olive oil, caffeinated tea and ground coffee, milk, sugar, apple juice and a tasty treat.

    All fires laid and ready to light, additional firewood bags available to buy (£5/bag honesty box)

  • Blaen-y-Cwm’s bespoke kitchen offers an ideal space for preparing culinary masterpieces, and is fully equipped with any utensil you’ll need cooking for your group. Let your leg of lamb slowly roast in the Aga, sit by the fire, put your feet up and drink a large glass of red. Sing songs, spin yarns and reflect on how good life is.

    The dining room provides seating for 10, and there’s an outdoor terrace which is perfect for breakfasts and lunches. Should you want a little help in the kitchen, we can help organise a chef for a special celebration or drop off meals for you to heat up. We can even provide you with packed lunches or picnic baskets to be delivered to one of our special spots on the hill by a member of staff.

  • Bedroom 1 is on the top floor and has a king sized bed plus an extra single bed (made up on request). This bedroom has a large en suite bathroom with copper-leafed, cast iron, double-ended bath.

    Bedroom 2 is a super king room with a shared bath/shower room.

    Bedroom 3 is a super king room with an extra single bed (made up on request).

  • The approach is suitably exciting: a narrow track winds its way into the little cwm from the Mountain Road through fields of ponies and sheep. Low slung sports cars are not recommended but a previous occupant did drive to and fro every day in his Lotus Elise!

    The cottage is detached from any other buildings and has no immediate neighbours. There is a small stream and a very beautiful waterfall directly beside the property.

    Blaen-y-Cwm is situated just off the hill or common and there is, therefore, an enormous amount of walkable, explorable, just-sit-down-on-able hillside.

People say…

'This is a magical cottage within gorgeous grounds. We had beautiful weather this time but have previously experienced it in every season, all very special here. The family age group was from 19 months to 76 years, seven of us in total plus dogs. Perfect with lots of space for everyone to be together and quiet corners for those needing calmness. If the mountains, the stream and the wilderness is not enough entertainment the pool and table tennis provide hours of fun. Star gazing from the hot tub is a must.'

'Absolutely perfect stay for a long weekend - serene location, beautiful setting, gorgeous house. Very cosy and homely with all the essentials. Everyone was able to settle in very quickly (even the dogs!). Could have easily stayed another week… or forever! Thank you for letting us experience such a splendid place.'
