Hollywood cottage, or to use its proper Welsh name Llwyncelyn ('Klooinkelin'), is a secluded 18th century cottage in the Cambrian Mountains of Mid Wales. It sits next to the river in the upper reaches of the steep-sided Twrch valley, nestled amongst woodland, fields and wetlands.

The cottage has an open plan living/dining area with exposed beams, wooden parquet floor, comfy sofas, wood-burning stove and inglenook fireplace. There is also a colour TV with Satellite (no Sky card), DVD player, DVDs, stereo and extensive range of literature on the local history, flora and fauna.

The beamed kitchen has a quarry-tile floor and fitted pine cupboards. It is equipped with electric oven, fridge with freezer box, toaster, kettle, microwave and full cutlery and crockery sets. The bath/shower room is off the hall next to the kitchen.

A stone spiral staircase leads off the living room to the single, open plan bedroom upstairs. This has fitted cupboards, double bed, more comfy chairs, A-framed ceiling and colour TV. This is definitely my favourite room in the cottage. I’ve really tried to make the most of the light up here with a couple of skylights and by keeping all of the colours very pale. This really emphasises the textures and character in the beams and makes it a warm, airy bed/sitting room to relax in even in the depths of winter. 

Well that’s a quick introduction to our little hide-away in the hills. I know you’ll get as much pleasure from staying there as we have over the years and we look forward to hearing from you soon.

The village of Ffarmers is about 5 minutes drive away or 25 minutes walk. It has a post office and pub, the Drover’s Arms, which does a take-away service and an excellent à la carte menu. A local Shell Checkpoint garage sells basic groceries and is about 10 minutes drive away. The small university town of Lampeter is a 20 minute drive away with post office, banks, supermarkets, take-aways and a wide selection of cafes and pubs. 
The West Wales coast is a further 15 minutes away where you’ll find the scenic resort of Aberaeron and a variety of beaches.

Yours,

Andrew and Lisa
