A special place to stay
As seasoned holiday cottage visitors ourselves, we know how important it is to visit somewhere that is not only very special, but also clean, comfortable and well-equipped. All the necessities, as well as some luxuries, are included in the price. We know only too well how depressing it can be to arrive somewhere late at night to find that not even soap or washing-up liquid have been supplied. Our cottages all have something special about them, whether it is the wealth of beams or an original 17th century wooden screen, as well as their beautiful unspoiled locations.
Blaentrothy Holiday Cottages have been lovingly restored both with traditional materials and green concerns in mind. Blaentrothy Farm, where Blaentrothy Cottage and Stable Cottage are situated, has been listed as a very special group of farm buildings because they are completely unspoiled. Arriving at the farm is a bit like travelling back in time to the 17th-century. The 100 acres of farmland have been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest because the ancient meadows, which can be explored by public footpath, have never been ploughed or treated with modern fertilizers or weed killers. These provide a fascinating slice of living history: you can see exactly how a meadow would have looked at the time the farm was first built.
Luxury self-catering - Blaentrothy Cottage is situated in the middle of sheep farming country in what is a protected SSSI - 'Site of Special Scientific Interest'. The landscape is completely idyllic, and because it is an organic farm (and always has been), wild flower meadows, streams, copses and hedgerows are rich in wild fauna and flora. Beautiful views of the surrounding Welsh countryside, and nearby, the Black Mountains stretching out for miles, make this the perfect Welsh romantic hideaway.
A perfect vacation in Wales Wales is a perfect place for a vacation. Available for year-round rental, Blaentrothy Cottage provides luxury self-catering accommodation for two people in Wales. It is a self-contained wing of Blaentrothy Farmhouse, in what used to be the old Wain House (shelter for the hay carts) and the granary above. Stylishly decorated by the owners (one of whom used to work for House & Garden magazine) to a very high standard, the accommodation is comfortable and luxurious while retaining all the charm of the old farm building. All the fixtures and fittings are new, so that modern convenience is combined with the beauty of ancient oak beams, mullion windows and old red sandstone to create a wonderful fusion of old and new - a unique, luxury holiday accommodation.
This cottage in Wales sleeps two adults, and a cot is available for a baby if required. The cottage has its own entrance, own footpath from the parking area and own private area of garden with outdoor seating on a flag-stoned terrace. An elegant spiral staircase connects the two floors.
