    Traditional cottage was just right for a Christmas getaway. Comfortable and a great location. The log burner added some coziness even though the central heating was perfect to keep the cottage warm. Very comfortable bed. Great kitchen and...

Gorof Melyn is a traditional 18th century Welsh cottage, full of old charm and character. Set in stunning countryside at the head of the Tywi Valley. Explore footpaths and forest trails, cycle into the mountains, see red kites look out for red squirrels or just stroll to the pub or relax in the garden and listen to the birds. Take in the stunning scenery whilst enjoying your morning coffee in blissful peace. In the dark skies reserve the night sky is spectacular, don’t forget to look up! Stray sheep often roam the village as if they belonged here long before we did! They can sometimes enter gardens, we suggest keeping the gates closed. In the olden days The Pound (walled circular area attached to the garden, a listed feature to protect its heritage) would have been where the locals kept stray animals until they could be retrieved by their owners. Thankfully that doesn’t happen anymore!
My time at Gorof Melyn has left me in awe of the peace and tranquility of Rhandirmwyn. My morning coffee taking in the breathtaking views of the valley and the beautiful birdsong is an experience I can now handover to my guests. I won’t be available in person as I do not live near the property but I am available by email should any problems arise during your stay. Enjoy!
Set in a quiet picturesque village boasting beautiful views over the valley. The cottage is a short stroll from the local pub which offers a delicious menu. Take a morning walk or cycle around the valley or along the river. Follow the footpaths on adventure trails. Take a quick climb up into the forest on the footpath to the side of the cottage. Hike all day in the Brecon Beacons Stroll around Llyn Brianne Reservoir Visit Twm Simon Cati’s cave, or visit the gold mines at Dolaucothi Look out for Red Kites above and Red squirrels in the forests Look up into our Dark Skies at night, marvel at the sight of the Milky Way. Llandovery is the nearest town a 7 mile drive. Supermarket, post office, garage, doctors survey, cottage hospital, train station and shops. There is no public transport directly to the village. Edit
