Beudy Bendigaid
Ger Penbryn, Ceredigion
Cysgu 4 mewn 2 stafell gwely, dim cwn

Beudy Bendigaid ('Magnificent Cowshed'!) is a traditional West Wales farm building converted in 2007 into a spacious 2 bedroom cottage with a contemporary interior. It sits in a peaceful location near the West Wales coast (2.5 miles or 7 minute drive to the famous beaches of Llangrannog or Penbryn).

Renovated by a pair of designers (one a fashion designer, the other a graphic designer) this is a modern conversion with stylish décor and furnishings. It is immaculately kept and has the feel of a boutique hotel.

The Beudy sits next to (but facing away from) its stone-built former farmhouse, and both are at the end of a private lane that is easily accessible from the main coast road.

Although close to the main house it isn't over-looked and all the windows face across the lovely Hoffnant valley. Click here for an aerial photo.

The cottage doesn't have Broadband but only a 20 minute (12 mile) drive up the coast to the Harbourmaster where you can enjoy free wireless Broadband over a coffee/ drink or award-winning seafood. You'd probably want to visit the charming harbour at Aberaeron during your stay anyway.

This property isn't suitable for toddlers, but young babies in cots and children age 5 or over are welcome. Be aware that there are un-protected pools in the garden which may be dangerous for young children.

You can arrange a Welsh food hamper to be ready for your arrival through this local company.

In detail:

Large living area on the first floor with wood-burning stove (first basket of logs supplied). 28” television (digital channels), video and DVD players and a quality CD stereo.

The dining area has a large oak table

The kitchen is equipped to a very high standard with a good electric cooker and hobs, fridge, separate freezer, dishwasher, microwave oven and washing machine all in stainless steel.

At either end of the ground floor are two good sized bedrooms with a large family bathroom between.

Bedroom 1 has a traditional double bed, a wall mounted colour television and French doors out onto the patio.

Bedroom 2 has two single beds and a wall mounted colour television.

The bathroom is tiled throughout and has a white modern bathroom suite and separate generous shower cubicle.

Outside there is a large, enclosed private patio to the front with teak patio set, and steps down to the rest of the 4 acres of (shared-use) garden with a series of ponds, walks and woodland.

The cottage is fully centrally heated but also has a wood burning stove in the living area for cosy nights in.

It is possible to arrange meals and cooked breakfasts (in farmhouse) for a surcharge if required. The main farmhouse provides excellent Bed & Breakfast accommodation if your party is greater than 4.

What is there to do locally?

Nearest provisions shop and pub (serving food) is a mile away (walkable), whilst the post office in the village of Rhydlewis is 2 miles. There is a superb farm shop within 2 miles that sells local and organic produce.

The cottage is 2.5 miles inland from either NT Penbryn beach or Llangrannog (a small fishing village and beach) - so you can be at either within about a 7 minute drive. Or drive a couple of miles further to reach lovely Aberporth and Tresaith both also enjoying fine sandy beaches.

Nearest towns are Cardigan (11 miles), Newcastle Emlyn (6 miles), and historic coastal town of Aberaeron (8 miles).

Beudy Bendigaid is a great base for walking holidays in West Wales. The cottage is a short drive from the Ceredigon coastal path which encompasses dramatic cliffs, sandy bays, fantastic views and wildlife - with wild dolphins regularly seen. There are local footpaths from the door.

You can always take a boat trip to get really close (sightings very common but not guaranteed). Click HERE to see some footage taken from coastline near to Beudy Bendigaid - 50 dolphins at one time!

The sandy beach at New Quay is just a few miles away (15 minutes in car), or after you've explored the very near beaches of Penbryn, Tresaith and Llangrannog why not drive North for 20 minutes to Cei Bach beach which is where Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller just filmed the new feature film 'The Edge of Love'.

This is the county website which has loads of info about where to go, best local organic foods, best days out etc.

A 20 minute drive North up the coast takes you to the lovely harbour town of Aberaeron -one of the prettiest seaside towns in Wales.

There you can walk down by the lovely riverside walk to the beach or eat out on the famous local seafood (some of the world's best lobsters!) in harbourside restaurants.

While you are there explore the fantastic National Trust Llanerchaeron estate where you can explore the mansion, walk the guided walks around parkland, or just enjoy a traditional afternoon tea by the river.

Or drive inland to the UK's smallest University town - Lampeter - the oldest University in England/Wales after Oxford and Cambridge. Stop off at Conti's Italian cafe for home-made Italian ice-cream, or to wander through the University cloisters.

Adeilad fferm traddodiadol yw Beudy Bendigaid sydd wedi cael ei adnewyddu yn 2007 i mewn i fwthyn dwy ystafell eang gydag tu mewn cyfoes i gyfateb.


Mae’r bwthyn wedi ei leoli mewn man tawel a heddychlon ar arfordir gorllewin Cymru (2.5 milltir neu 7 munyd yn y car i ffwrdd o draethau enwog Llangrannog a Penbryn).

Wedi ei adnewyddu gan ddau dylunydd (un dylunydd ffasiwn, ac un dylunydd graffig), mae hon yn fwthyn fodern gydag tu mewn cyfoes a dodrefn i gyfateb. Mae’r bwthyn yn cael ei gynnal i safon uchel drosben drwy’r flwyddyn.

Mae’r bwthyn yn sefyll drws nesaf (ond yn gwynebu i ffwrdd) o’r ty fferm wreiddiol, a’r ddau yn sefyll ar ben lwybr preifat sydd yn hawdd i’w ddarganfod o’r brif ffordd. Er fod y bwthyn yn sefyll yn agos i’r ty fferm, nid yw’r ty fferm yn gorweld a’r bwthyn. Yn ogystal, mae ffenestri’r bwthyn yn gorweld dros olygfeydd prydferth dyffryn Hoffnant. Cliciwch yma am llun o'r awyr.

Nid yw’r bwthyn yn addas ar gyfer plant bach, ond mae croeso i fabanod a plant o dan 5 mlwydd oed yma. Byddwch yn ddoeth bod pyllau yn y gerddi sydd yn gallu bod yn beryglys i blant bach.
