Property code: OC-WAN422

Situated just outside the historic mining village of Cwmystwyth within a picturesque valley following the river Ystwyth, enjoy breathtaking views along the valley from this countryside bolthole that offers a welcome escape from everyday life to the natural beauty of rural West Wales. Enjoy a peaceful moment watching the stream as it gently flows by. The soothing sound of the water and the serene surroundings create a perfect spot for relaxation and reflection. 

Tucked away in an enviable position surrounded by picturesque scenery, retire to this beautifully presented reverse-style annexe after a day’s adventure and feel as though you’ve stepped into a peaceful ranch, boasting wood-clad walls, sloping ceilings and exposed beams. For the best far-reaching views along the valley floor, head upstairs to the open-plan living/kitchen/dining room to rustle up a delicious locally sourced meal in the kitchen and catch the most wonderful sunsets relaxing on the sofa beside the large picture window. As day turns to dusk, head downstairs to choose between two characterful bedrooms for a well-earned rest before tomorrow’s big adventure. Make the most of the incredible scenery by dining alfresco in the decked area before exploring the expansive gardens surrounding you.

Nestled in a picturesque valley on a narrow mountain road, the historic mining village of Cwmystwyth just over a mile away is home to the largest metal mines in North Ceredigion, offering a peaceful and unique landscape to explore. Lace up your walking boots to join up with the Glyndwr Way walking trail passing through the village to carve your way through the open moorland, rolling farmland, woodland and forests of mid-Wales, or closer to home spot glimpses of the remains of Cwmystwyth Lead Mine Workings (1 mile) and marvel at the cascading waterfalls surrounding it. For a taste of the coast, the Victorian seaside town of Aberystwyth can be reached within 18 miles.

Great spot out of the way from the town centre. You definitely need a car or motorised transport to get around as the nearest towns are c.15 miles from the accommodation. Lovely site, all the facilities you could need and wonderful hosts! Would love to visit again at some stage.

We are regular travellers and would rate this place as one of the nicest, best-located, and real value of all the places we have stayed. The place was clean, full of character, had everything we needed to feel at home, and was in close distance to all the sites we wanted to see. The owners were so kind and attentive and made us feel really welcome.Read more We had an amazing time at their beautiful home and would love to visit again in the future. Thank you for everything!

Absolutely wow! Tynddol Isaf is an absolutely beautiful place to stay, nestled in the most rugged and natural Welsh landscape - it took our breath away. Our host was incredibly friendly and helpful and gave us some priceless pointers of things to do locally. The property is lovely, everything you could hope and wish for is provided and it really diRead mored feel like a home from home - even the Wi-Fi worked perfectly. The beautiful River Ystwyth flows alongside the property and had endless fun having "conversations" with the Sheep and Cows that were in the neighbouring fields! We managed to do all we wanted to - Devils Bridge, Fish and Chips in Aberystwyth, the Four Waterfalls, The Butterfly Farm and last but not least climbed all the way to the top of Pen Y Fan. If I could recommend anything, go do the Hafod Estate walks that are only 15 minutes from Tynddol Isaf, some of the most breath-taking walks we have ever done and the most incredible scenery. All in all, the most wonderous of stays, the loveliest of hosts and we will definitely look to come back again. Hide

Lovely stay here, the owners couldn't do enough for us. Adjusted the heating for our son, brought games out and recommended fabulous places. Little Italy in Aberystwyth is a must try! Fantastic weekend with perfect weather, and we got engaged in the living room. So won't forget this place anytime soon!
