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!
