One upper wing of a beautiful West Wales country house, near Lampeter and Aberaeron
Cartref Cayo offers a spacious and very comfortable stay in an historic country house setting, just two miles (walkable) from the charming historic University town of Lampeter. You get one upper entirely self-contained wing with two spacious bedrooms, your own independent entrance and your own outdoor garden with fire-pit. The owners (who have lived in the main house for generations) will give you privacy and space to enjoy the beautiful setting.
Beyond your own garden there are 36 acres and you're welcome to pet the horses, feed the peacocks, or purchase homegrown vegetables and free range eggs when available. Head down to the Aeron valley to delightful Aberaeron and the famous coast. The house was the home of Julian Cayo-Evans, a fascinating figure in Welsh C20 history who was famously passionate about Welsh independence. It has also been the cultural centrepoint for this area for generations, with a remakable guest list from Sultans to politicos, artists, and architects like Clough Williams-Ellis. If you enjoy modern history then knock on the door of the main house as Rhodri (Cayo's son) is warm and welcoming, and is the store-holder of the many tales that this house contains!
