  • Tynval, CarmarthenshireInstant Book Overlay Image
    Carmarthen, Wales
    Come and enjoy the delights of Tynval, nestled on the edge of the rural hamlet of Bronwydd Arms near the market town of Carmarthen. This beautiful, single-storey barn conversion was once the milking parlour and part of the once busy Cwmgwili Mill Farm, which is steeped in history and dates back to the 1600’s. The mill, which is on the side of the farmhouse, stopped working in the 1950’s. The mill first produced flour and then was converted into a woollen mill which produced blankets for the war. The farm was built by the owners of Cwmgwili mansion, which is a short walk up the hill, and served as the source of food for the estate owners many years ago. The owners have meticulously restored Tynval and retained all the quirks and charm throughout, with vaulted ceilings, beams, exposed stone walls and solid teak flooring offering a superb barn for your family to enjoy.

    Tynval has been finished to a very good standard and has been thoughtfully presented throughout, complete with a spacious, light and airy living/dining room with original beams and focal wood burner for a cosy evening in with a glass of wine. This room leads onto the sun room which overlooks the enclosed lawned garden, with views across the Carmarthenshire countryside.
