The Beech Barn Penrallt Fach, Cardigan

The Beech Barn Penrallt Fach is a stunning 5-star converted barn in Cardigan, West Wales. This clever upside-down property puts bedrooms downstairs and living spaces upstairs to maximize those jaw-dropping countryside views through bi-fold doors and from your private balcony. Just a walk from historic Cilgerran village, it's the perfect spot to escape without being completely cut off.

Set at the end of a peaceful country lane, you'll feel miles from anywhere while being close to everything. Spectacular beaches are within easy reach - Poppit Sands and Mwnt Beach make perfect day trips. Explore 12th-century Cilgerran Castle, wander the Welsh Wildlife Centre, or pop into Cardigan for independent shops, cafes and even a cinema. After a day out, nothing beats sinking into your private hot tub with a glass of something cold!

The accommodation sleeps 4 guests across two bedrooms - one double and one super-king-size zip-and-link (which can become twins). The ground floor features a modern shower room with double shower, while upstairs you'll find a contemporary kitchen with all appliances and a stylish lounge-diner with that L-shaped sofa you'll never want to leave.

Local attractions include the 12th-century Cilgerran Castle (0.5 miles, 10-minute walk), the Welsh Wildlife Centre (1 mile, 5-minute drive), Poppit Sands Beach (8 miles, 20-minute drive) and Cardigan town (3 miles, 10-minute drive) with its shops, restaurants and independent cinema.

The Beech Barn Penrallt Fach is perfect for couples or small families wanting quality time together. Spotlessly clean, incredibly comfortable and with owners who clearly give a damn. Oh and did I mention the hot tub? Because after a day exploring, your bum will thank you.
