Godrecynnen farmhouse

Get away from the pace of modern life in Godrecynnen, a traditional cottage in the Welsh countryside. Nature is literally on your doorstep. Sustainable living at it’s best with wood fired heating and hot water, comfy beds and traditional furniture. A small drive away you will find the beaches of Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion. On the other side the hills of the Brecon Beacons. The local pub is just a small walk down the road for those who enjoy a pint (drinks&cash only). The space This house is very old. Think of someone much older than you but who you’re very fond of. They are not perfect but you don’t mind because you understand that with age comes character. When we bought the house in 2013, it had been empty for two years, the roof was leaking and it was very damp. After 10 years of working on and off, it is now a home again. We have kept as many of the original features as possible and why replace old with new when old is fully functional? Staying away from plastic and concrete as much as possible, sourcing second hand (antique) goods, recycling doors, tiles and flagstones has kept the costs down and made the house more sustainable and authentic. As the woodlands on our farm yield enough logs to keep the house warm we decided to make use of this local energy source. We provide more than enough logs to see you through your stay. We hope you agree the house has a lovely feel to it with a large kitchen diner, charming living room and cosy reading/work/games room. There is a bathroom downstairs with a walk-in shower, a bath and a toilet. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, one with two single beds, one with a king size bed and one with a double bed. The house is basic (in keeping with its character) but there are a washing machine, small under counter deep freezer and a fridge. Surrounded by nature, peace and tranquillity this is a lovely getaway. You can literally hear an owl hooting whilst snuggled up in bed. We hope you will enjoy your stay. Thank you x Roger and Anuschka Guest access All the living spaces of the house are yours to use during your stay apart from some housekeeping cupboards which are locked.
