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 an estate farm on the Highmead estate, and enjoys a beautifully unspoilt 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 acres to hundreds of acres of private land. Special Area of Conservation because of its international importance for conserving biodiversity. Good fishing just across the field (sewin, salmon, trout). Winter photos here & independent 5* review. Being newly renovated the property is insulated to a high level and is heated by a modern central heating system with radiators in every room. There is also a wood-burning stove in the sitting room (first basket of logs provided). Well-behaved dogs welcome (small surcharge applies). Note the pond to front may present a risk to small children. 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 groundfloor bedroom and shower-room. Dining table for 6. Sitting Room: This snug, 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 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. Antqiue 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 rear. Outside: Front lawn with small pond (note potential risk to small children). Shed for storing bikes (if you bring them). Access over hundreds of acres of private land via good footpaths. Generally lots of space about - great for dogs. No shortage of parking. Loading Google Map Please wait
We have had a marvellous time here, so relaxing, superb accommodation, beautifully furnished, a pleasure to stay here. The walks through the fields and by the river are so peaceful ~ Karen and Chris We've really enjoyed our stay here. We appreciate all that has been done to bring this ancient building back into use in a substainable way; the sympathetic furnishings and the peaceful location ~ Linda and Jim A really special place. So beautiful and quiet. We loved the river especially the herons and kingfisher. The children loved it, their parents loved it and Jock the dog, adored it - we shall be back ~ Justin, Nicola, Hugo, Phoebe and Jock Note there is a small un-fenced pond across the lawned area at the front of the cottage that may provide a potential hazard to children. |
