Cottage in picture
to the right - In
one of the loveliest
valleys in Wales and
surrounded by woods
and farmland whose
titles date from the
14th century, The
Maerdy was once the
home farm of the
historic Robert Peel
Estate. The
300-year-old
farmhouse and four
of its original
stone buildings have
been beautifully
converted to form
superb holiday
cottages, each in
its own tranquil
setting in mature
wooded gardens with
a stream. Equipped
to Visit Wales `4
Star' standard (JBK,
JPF, OBP & OLF) and
`3 Star' standard
(JBL), and furnished
with many antiques
with all modern
comforts provided,
they are warm and
cosy retreats -
ideal for a holiday
at any time of year,
and perfect for
relaxing short
breaks. The grounds
offer plenty of
space for children,
and lovely walks
from the cottage
doors will delight
country lovers,
bird-watchers and
serious hikers
alike. The Maerdy
can accommodate up
to 35 visitors,
which makes it a
popular venue for
larger families or
groups.
Close by are the
Black Mountains,
Llyne Brianne and
Dinefwr Castle
Estate, and within
easy driving
distance are several
famous gardens
including the new
National Botanical
Gardens of Wales, a
unique project,
completely created
from scratch.
Cardigan Bay and the
excellent sandy
beaches of The Gower
are within an hours'
drive. Trout and
salmon fishing,
climbing, swimming,
golf and riding can
all be enjoyed
locally.
