We stayed for a long weekend. Sarah and Paul were very welcoming, and the cottage is just lovely. The room was spacious and had everything you might need. The breakfast every morning was freshly cooked. If we ever come back to the area we will definitely stay here again.

Hi, I'm Sarah and together with my husband, Paul we run Celyn Farm Bed and Breakfast. We also have a working farm (primarily run by my dad) and love nothing more than exploring and sharing the beautiful welsh countryside.
We are surrounded by mountains, fields, sheep, country pubs, real ales, birds, log burning fires, trees, old churches, castles, old coal mines, villages and much much more.
