Carefully positioned near the glistening Teifi River, in the sleepy village of Llechryd, this detached, traditional Welsh cottage has been lovingly restored with your comfort in mind, making it the perfect place for a small family or couples looking to explore the hidden delights and majestic sites of West Wales. Conveniently located just a short drive away from the bustling market town of Cardigan with its imposing castle, the cottage dates back to the mid 18th century, and has sympathetically restored most of its original features. From stone walls to exposed beams, The Old Church House is full of character and even has the added benefit of an cosy open fire, perfect for those cosy winter nights in. Together with the lawned garden and patio, this wonderful abode makes the perfect base for a holiday all year round. Please note that there is a wild beehive in in eves of the cottage. The bees are not aggressive and fly away from the building. Sometimes, one or two find their way into the bathroom or kitchen, especially if windows are open in sunny weather. The owner has lived happily with the bees for 8 years and they pollinate the flowers in the surrounding area.
Next to the cottage are the ruins of a church which was originally built in 1663. It was abandoned in 1879 and declared a sacred ruin in 1997. Grade ll listed Llechryd Bridge, 150 yards away, was built in the 17th century and is visible from the upstairs windows of the cottage.
Spectacular countryside and scenic walks unfold from the doorstep where guests even enjoy the free riverside fishing on offer adjacent to the cottage.
