add to favouritesabout the property
Priced for 4 (sleeps 6). A large and luxurious family holiday Welsh farmhouse, a perfect base for exploring West Wales. One of if not the best holiday cottage near to Lampeter University, this 5* cottage enjoys privacy down its own track.
You'd expect a restoration project managed by one of Wales' leading conservation architects (Roger Clive-Powell) and textiles expert Jen Jones to be beautiful and homely, and it is both, in spades.
Dolau Canol is located on a working estate farm on the Highmead estate and enjoys a beautifully unspoiled position amongst the green pasture of the Teifi valley. Approached by a long, private lane, this traditional farmhouse sits in a collection of its own buildings (unconverted) and has access to hundreds of acres of private land. A Special Area of Conservation because of its international importance for conserving biodiversity. Good fishing just across the field (sewin, salmon, trout).

On arrival here, our 7yo declared: "It's absolutely beautiful. We're so lucky!" It is, and we were. A beautifully restored and maintained cottage in rural seclusion in the lovely Teifi valley.

in detail
Central heating system with radiators in every room. There is also a wood-burning stove in the sitting room (first basket of logs provided).
Ground Floor:
Entrance Hall: Of a good size with stairs rising to the first floor, sitting room to left and Cegin Fawr to right.
Cegin Fawr: This, the main room of the farmhouse is a large, comfortable space with a wood-burning stove in the inglenook. Traditional and modern country furnishings sit happily together under the old oak-beamed ceiling. This room leads off to the kitchen and also a small corridor to the ground floor bedroom and shower room. Dining table for 6.
Sitting Room: This snug, the smaller lounge has a pair of squashy sofas, an upholstered Victorian armchair. Flatscreen 19" DVD TV, DVD player and basic Sky satellite channels. Antique quilt decorating the wall.
Kitchen: A simple farmhouse kitchen with a door directly to the outside, a nice country settle, and the usual appliances (dishwasher, double oven, microwave, etc).
Scullery: Why did we stop building houses with sculleries? They are so useful! This spartan room can be entered directly from outside (great in wellies), has a double sink, washing machine and dryer and an extra fridge-freezer.
Shower Room: A small room with power shower that is ideal for use with the adjacent ground-floor bedroom.
Ground Floor Bedroom. A single bedroom with windows to three sides that is ideal for those less mobile (there is a shower room adjacent) or a kid that wants to have their own corner of the house. Adult-sized single bed.
First Floor:
Landing: An unusually large landing for a farmhouse of this date, now home to a button-back Victorian armchair and a small library of books. A peaceful spot. An antique quilt on display.
Master Bedroom: A good-sized room with equally good views to the front. A modern oak double bed with vintage quilts and a nice museum-quality quilt hanging on the wall. Armchair etc.
Double Bedroom: This smaller double bedroom has pleasant views to the rear.
Single Bedroom/ Study: This cosy room has views to the front and has a full-size single bed, but also a desk in case you require a peaceful retreat on the first floor.
Bathroom: A smallish, simple bathroom with all new fittings. Views to the rear.
Outside: Front lawn with a small pond (note potential risk to small children). Shed for storing bikes (if you bring them). Electric car charging point (7kw, fee applies)
Access over hundreds of acres of private land via good footpaths. Generally lots of space about - great for dogs (there is livestock in the fields at times ). Garden games- croquet and badminton
