Woodpecker Cottage - Cosy Countryside Retreat with 2 acres of Private Meadows

Nestled into the rolling hillside with panoramic views over patchwork fields and the Teifi Valley below. Woodpecker Cottage is a romantic cosy retreat designed for couples to spend time in nature.
The barn-conversion cottage is full of character with beams & wood burning stove but with modern touches like free high speed wi-fi, luxury bedlinen, stylish furnishings and EV charger. Surrounded by green meadows, there are country walks right from your door which make the most of the gorgeous views.

Living Room
The open plan living area has a comfy sofa as well as table and chairs for dining. For entertainment there is a Smart TV with Freeview and access to Apps such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube and BBC iPlayer (using your own subscription) as well as a DVD player. There is a selection of board games in the cupboard and we have free high-speed WiFi.

Kitchen
The kitchen area is fully equipped for self-catering with electric oven, ceramic hob, full size fridge & freezer and a dishwasher as well as the essential kettle, toaster & microwave. Tea, coffee & sugar are provided along with a welcome basket of staples and treats to get you started.
Other items we include for you to use during your stay so you can travel light are: washing up liquid & dish cloths, anti-bacterial spray, dishwasher tablets, hand wash, kitchen roll, foil, cling film, salt, pepper, mixed herbs, oil, and vinegar.

Bathroom
The luxury bathroom has a big double-ended bath plus a separate modern walk-in shower. Bath and hand towels are provided as well as toilet paper, body wash & bubble bath. The underfloor heating keeps you toasty and there is also a heated towel rail. There is a shaver socket near the sink.

Bedroom
The double bed has 100% cotton bedding and the duvet and pillows are all hypo-allergenic with no feathers. The bedside lamps have built in USB chargers. There is a hairdryer in one of the drawers.

Staying Cosy
The cottage has blissful underfloor heating throughout as well as a wood burning stove for cosy nights in. The fire will be set ready for you and a large basket of logs and kindling is provided.

Outside Spaces
You have a private patio for outside dining and watching the sunset. Just a minute away up the grassy path behind the cottage are Picnic Meadow and Garden Meadow (both shared with Red Kite Cottage). They are beautiful spaces for relaxing and watching the birds and wildlife and each has a picnic table. There is also a bench in Valley View Meadow in front of the cottages. This is a great place to take in the views over the valley and our friendly sheep and chickens may come to the fence to say hello.

Parking
You have your own dedicated parking space at the front of Coedmor Cottages. We also have an EV charger available to use (charged at normal domestic rates).

On-site Bird Hide
Just a minutes' walk from the cottage is our luxury birdwatching cabin - Misty Heights. We built it from scratch to be a peaceful, cosy space for watching and photographing the woodland birds that live around the cottages. It features underfloor heating, high speed WiFi, electric sockets & charging points, comfortable chairs and tea & coffee facilities. We get woodpeckers, nuthatches, goldfinches, chaffinches, coal tits, bullfinches, long-tailed tits, siskins and treecreepers as well as the more common garden birds. You will also see Red Kites and Buzzards flying overhead. It is available for guests to hire for exclusive private use for a few hours or for a whole day. If you are into bird photography, Leigh can also give you tips to help you get the best pictures and he also offers workshops.

Other things to note
There is so much to do within easy reach of the cottage. Here are a few ideas:
Natural Wonders: Lakes at Elan Valley and Llyn Brianne and the Cambrian Mountains and Brecon Beacons are perfect for walking.

Cardigan Bay: World class beaches like Penbryn, Llangrannog & Mwnt that are much quieter than other parts of the UK as well as quaint harbour towns like Aberaeron and New Quay with Dolphin Watching trips to see the UK's largest pod.

Gardens: Cae Hir, Aberglasney, and The National Botanic Garden of Wales are all within easy reach.

National Trust: Dolaucothi Gold Mines, Dinefwr Park & Castle, Hafod Estate, Cilgerran Castle, Llanerchaeron & Abergwesyn Common - all within an hour of the cottage.

Cycling: Many wonderful road routes through Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion as well as special mountain bike trails through the forest at Brechfa & Abergorlech.

We really enjoyed our stay. Woodpecker Cottage was very cute and cosy. Hosts Zena & Leigh were very attentive and even provided some basic food items which included some non dairy items for me and fresh eggs from their hens. They were very helpful and gave us information on great hiking locations. They also provide lots of documentation at the cottage with suggestions of things to do and sites to visit. The area was very pastoral and provided easy access to many hiking spots (local and up to 1hr away).

Woodpecker

Heel net huisje met alles wat nodig is voor een fijn verblijf. Aardige verhuurder. Mooie omgeving met fijne zitplekken. Wel een smalle weg om de accommodatie te bereiken. We hadden niet gelezen dat de andere verhuurlokatie deels boven de "woodpecker" zat. Gelukkig waren dat ook rustig gasten.
