Description

The south wing of our medieval Welsh farmhouse has been converted to a modern studio apartment with sitting room, kitchen bar with cooking facilities, separate bathroom with heated towel rail, and a mezzanine bedroom with a double bed plus a second, ground floor bedroom which is optional when 3/4 people are staying. With large windows and roof skylights plus underfloor heating, the studio feels open and airy yet warm and cosy. A stove completes the high degree of comfort. All this on our sheep farm in a secluded valley in Southern Snowdonia (Eryri) in Wales, surrounded by ancient hills and mountains studded with sheep and, depending on the season, ablaze with foxgloves, bluebells and heather. Our farmhouse, with extensive grounds, is set in spectacular scenery at the far end of a closed valley. As you step out of your studio, you can enjoy a series of lush green seating spaces with dramatic valley views, and listen to the sounds of our own small river, Afon Gelli, or arrange a barbecue. Guests are also welcome to make use of our charming wild croquet paddock. The valley is in the foothills of the Aran range of mountains running from Aran Fawddwy towards Cader Idris and is ideal walking and/or climbing country. It is also ideal for bird spotters, with over one hundred different species confirmed as either resident or regular visitors. Most of all, it is a tranquil place where the hectic pace of modern life can be totally ignored, and personal harmony restored. It is a place where writers, artists, and thinkers can be truly creative. Your host is a writer herself and is always willing to discuss writing and the writerly world with guests.
