Tan y Llan
Our two bedroom chalet-bungalow is situated at Penbryn,
close to the West Wales coast about ten miles North of Cardigan. Literally translated,
Tan y Llan means "Beneath the Church". It is set in two-thirds of an acre of gently sloping
gardens, adjoining a small stream and woods, totally peaceful and secluded. There is a
south-facing patio in natural stone where you can sit out and enjoy the tranquillity of this
beautiful area.
Accommodation
The bungalow has accommodation for up to four in one double bedroom and one twin bedroom. There is a bathroom (bath with shower over, wash basin and WC) and a pleasant living room which has a television with Sky Freeview, video, and a woodburning stove. A south-facing lounge overlooks the garden and adjoining woods, with a door that opens directly onto the patio. There is a fully equipped modern kitchen (with washing machine, tumble drier and spin drier in a separate outhouse).
Cooking and heating are all electric and this is included in the rental but there is also a woodburning stove in the living room that can be used to provide extra warmth and homeliness if desired. All the furnishings and fittings are to a good standard.
The garden is a large, sloping field which is kept to short grass, surrounded by natural hedge and trees, with a stream running in a hollow at the bottom. The natural stone patio with picnic table faces south and the bird table located there attracts a wonderful assortment of birds.
The car parking space at the top of the garden can comfortably accommodate two cars. From here a paved path leads down about twenty yards to the bungalow. The property is surrounded by farm fields on two sides, the stream and woods on one side, and the approach lane and fields on the fourth.
Extra Information
Because we do not live in the locality, we cannot provide bed linen or towels, so you should bring your own. We do, however, have a local cleaner.
Locality
The National Trust owns much of the land round and about the holiday chalet, including the spectacular, mostly sandy, beach which is only five minutes walk away through the woods or ten minutes by road. (There is no charge for access to the beach on foot.) The area is largely unspoiled and consists primarily of small, farming communities with inter-connecting lanes. There are many beaches with a coastal path running between them. Not all of the beaches allow dogs in the summer and this includes Penbryn beach, but some of the nearby ones are fine for dog walking. There are many family attractions of historical interest, as well as pursuits such as walking, riding, and boat trips available in the area.
