About Pontbrenmydyr

A delightful vernacular cottage with a little bit of history in all its nooks and crannies.

Stay in one of the last surviving Welsh Cloms, a 17th-century mud constructed cottage. This charming little nook was nothing but a neglected relic, but after a careful restoration with a modern twist, it’s been transformed into a one-bedroom retreat brimming with character. You’ll still be able to appreciate its vernacular detail, with original cow stalls, cobbled stone floors and smoke-blackened oak trusses all preserved, while modern technologies such as the biomass pellet boiler and solar panels have been added to create a sustainable and comfortable stay.

You’ll not only fall in love with this romantic cottage, but its surroundings too. It sits on the edge of the Llanerchaeron parkland, with its pleasure gardens, ornamental lake elegant Georgian manor nearby. You’ll have your own little garden too, with a tumbling stream at the bottom.

Further afield, the beautiful Ceredigion coast is awash with golden sand, award winning beaches, cliff-top trails, coves and caves, and historic fishing ports. The town of Aberaeron is a must see with its Georgian houses and elegant architecture.

Pontbrenmydyr was built as a very simple workman's cottage long before the days of damp proof courses and cavity walls etc. Without the benefit of these, or inappropriate modern waterproofing techniques, some of which would change its appearance, it is impossible to avoid flaking/erupting paint and damp patches on the inside and outside walls. In the knowledge that the income generated from your booking is, to a large extent, spent on maintaining this and similar properties, we ask for your forbearance and tolerance and trust that, despite any short comings, you will enjoy staying in this pretty, unspoilt, little cottage.
