The Pendre Longbarn

The Ceredigion countryside around Ystrad Meurig offers easy access to both the Cardigan Bay coast and deep into mid-Wales, with the Hafod Estate's restored woodland walks on the doorstep. The Pendre Longbarn is a restored 18th-century structure that sits within this historic landscape, now converted into a single-level property that works equally well for families and groups of friends.

Three bedrooms and two bathrooms spread across the ground floor, sleeping up to six. The main living space is open plan, opening via bi-fold doors onto a decked garden area with firepit. One bedroom has a king bed and ensuite; another is a king with its own wet room; the third contains two singles. The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering, with oven, induction hob, dishwasher and American-style fridge. Heating is oil-fired underfloor, and essentials including wi-fi, electricity, bed linen and towels are all covered. The decked terrace looks onto a large garden with furniture and barbecue, and a wood-fired hot tub seats six privately. One dog is welcome at no extra cost. Parking for two cars is available on site.

The garden has an unfenced slope, so worth knowing about if you're bringing young children. Check-in is after 16:00 and checkout before 10:00. No smoking inside the property.
