A hidden gem nestled in the Talley hills Lliandeilo wales

This charming historic home was originally built in the 17th century as a barn. It has been built on over the centuries resulting in a traditional stone welsh cottage nestled in the hills above 'Talley' with lovely views to the village below and the hills behind.

Newly refurbished throughout including carpets, a new kitchen, bathroom, utility, downstairs toilet and conservatory.

Tastefully decorated throughout with touches to make it feel home away from home.

This charming stone cottage boasts original rafters and exudes old world charm. It is split into two levels with the bedrooms and bathrooms being upstairs and the living areas downstairs.

Upstairs consists of:-

-A large master bedroom with a reading nook and chairs offers a queen size bed and room for a portable cot (available on request). The en suite attached to the adjoining bedroom has a walk in shower, rolltop claw bath, basin and toilet. Wake up in the morning and step out onto the small balcony and take in the vista of the village below , the hills in the distance and the surrounding woods.
- Two other bedrooms both furnished with double beds.
- The nearby bathroom has a bath , toilet and sink.

Downstairs consists of:-
- The entrance hall which leads to the living room , the small TV room and the kitchen,utility room then conservatory.
-The living room boasts plenty of comfortable seating and a cosy wood burner ( wood is provided for the first night and subsequent nights are bought in an honesty system). Smart TV, DVD player and dvds.
-The small sitting room has a day bed (which can be made up on request) a smaller TV , sound system, DVD player, games, books and cds.
-The newly renovated kitchen provides a home away from home, with some essential supplies and equipped with all the cooking appliances you require for your meals.
-The utility room has a washing machine , dryer and also an extra toilet.
-Step into The conservatory from the kitchen and snuggle up with a book, magazine or just sit and enjoy the lovely views. Enjoy the warmth from the sun through the double glazing and central heating or throw open the French doors out into the garden and let the summer breeze blow through.


There is a patio with alfresco dining set overlooking the village and hills with an umbrella and bbq or a chiminea for those cooler days.

Plasnewydd is the perfect summer or winter escape giving you the feeling you are in the hills allowing you total privacy and quiet. The surrounding areas offer you fishing in the Talley lakes, walks through the Talley woods or just stay in and enjoy the comfort and marvel at the sound and vision of the rain and snow falling on the glass around you.

PLEASE NOTE
-The driveway is narrow and is on an incline with a bend at the end so beware when driving at night . There are signs to guide you on your way.
-There is a stream running through the property that is not fenced and can be dangerous to small children
-There are also stairs down to the garden and a steep drop from the patio which can be also dangerous to small children.

Very authentic and charming!
We really wanted to experience Wales in as authentic a way as possible and we succeeded brilliantly by staying here! The cottage was perfect even if the drive up to it was a little interesting. If you are from the States as we are, you’ve never driven roads quite those in Wales.

We could NOT have been happier!
If you are considering a trip to Wales, do not hesitate booking at stay here at "PLASNEWYDD". It was significantly more beautiful than the pictures in the listing. The house is warm, welcoming, and equipped with literally anything and everything you need to stay. You can tell that this is a HOME, not just a property put together for a rental. You will feel at home from the minute you walk in the door. Having breakfast in the conservatory, with the double doors open on that incredible view is indescribable, you need need to experience it. Thank you Barb for EVERYTHING! PS, your cleaner is indeed extraordinary, because everything is spotless!

Perfect stone cottage in Welsh hills
Lovely home from home. Everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable and everywhere was clean and tidy. Loved the bright conservatory, the large farmhouse style kitchen where we could all eat, and the delightful lounge with a wood burning fireplace. We even managed to eat outside on the spacious patio with fantastic views across the valley. The steep approach to the property was a bit disconcerting but we managed to master this without too much trouble. Talley Abbey ruins were very special as was the church next door. The villagers even provided refreshments in their little hall with tea, coffee, soft drinks, biscuits and ice creams - you just make a donation for what you have enjoyed and there is plenty of covered space outside to sit down too. They have thought of everything. Lovely walks to the lakes and beyond and the villagers are very welcoming. Thank you for a totally relaxing holiday.

A Quiet and Relaxing Getaway
Really beautiful property with a great cosy feel to it. The fireplace was great at keeping the house warm and toasty. Kitchen is well stocked and the sound of the stream near by was lovely! The road going up to the property is a bit challenging so something to be mindful of with your vehicle. Very remote but a small village is a 15 minute drive away. The listing says there is a hot tub but they are just regular bath tubs - still great and relaxing! Just no jet element to them.

Fabulous Stay
It was an amazing and relaxing stay at Barb's House. The house is set in a tranquil location. Not very remote yet secluded. The views and outdoors are as beautiful as you can imagine. The house has its own character. It gives you the pleasure as you enter the home. Full of modern facilities so you won't miss a thing. Barb is an amazing host and has arranged so perfectly from arrival to every single detail to make the stay comfortable. We would like to visit again and also will recommend this place to our friends. Thanks for the amazing experience at your place, barb.

Awesome vacation home
I'm using the word "home" because that's exactly what this felt like for 9 wonderful days. It exceeded our hopes for comfort, contemplation and experiencing nature! The conservatory (solarium) was where we spent many hours reading, sharing conversation and time for thinking. The area walks were fantastic for me as a hiker and the local folks were kind and friendly. Our host was very responsive & helpful. I teared up when it was time to leave as I felt so emotionally connected to this charming home and picturesque countryside.

An absolutely beautiful stone cottage. Lovely and quiet. We enjoyed the sunroom in the afternoons with a glass of wine and a fire in the lounge room in the later evening and mornings. Highly recommended.

We went as a family group with mixed ages and mobility but the cottage catered for us all. Downstairs bedroom for my mother with MS, and plenty of space around to move her around in her wheelchair. Would definitely visit again. It was very chilled and relaxing.

Best B&B EVER!
What makes a great BnB? Comfy bed, dark, quiet room at night, accommodating breakfast... this has it all. But add to that, the most thoughtful host ever, gracious as the sun. He's considered everything you might need and supplied it in advance. The house is a historic log cottage set behind the most beautiful fairy-tale home you could dream of. The garden is gorgeous. Truly comfortable bed. I'm gushing because I wanted a second night... or a third. Strongly recommended!

Beautiful Hideaway in a peaceful Valley
Perfect house for a family of 5. A real home from home. Felt relaxed the moment we arrived. Very well equipped. Good Wifi. Really comfy beds. Enjoyed sitting the conservatory listening to the birds (and the rain). The house is up a steep track, but the owner helpfully arranged for the trees to be trimmed so that we had no issue getting through with bikes on the roof of the car. Lots to do in the local area. Enjoyed some pleasant walks from the door, but also travelled further afield to the coast for a bit of surfing. Some great MTB trails in the surrounding area too. Would like to think that we'll be back.

Relaxing week in an idyllic setting.
Four of us spent a relaxing week at this beautiful house in the most idyllic setting. The house was extremely well equipped, nicely furnished and had plenty of room, including two full bathrooms. The patio and conservatory gave views across the valley and often all we could hear were the sheep in the distance or the birds in the garden. Good pubs, shops and restaurants were only a 10 to 20 minute drive away. Great communication with Barb and no issues during our stay. Would highly recommend this property and will come back again someday.

Beautiful home with fantastic views
This house is ideal for a peaceful getaway. It has so much charm and character, is spacious (we were two parents and our two adult daughters) and had everything we needed. The conservatory and terrace were highlights for enjoying the fantastic view. Although not much was open due to COVID restrictions we still found plenty to do: Llandeilo is worth many visits and has a Coop, Talley Abbey is a walk away, we drove to Tenby, Poppit Sands, Brecon and Llandovery. We enjoyed just listening to birdsong and sheep and could have happily stayed at the house all day. We can’t wait to return. Thanks Barb for letting us stay in your beautiful house.

Comfortable, Beautiful, Countryside
We drove in from Oxford for a week's stay, and the drive up through Wales was wonderful. The home sits on a hill with incredible views, and has quite a large patio that gets sun as long as it is out. The home itsels is large and comfortable, we got plenty of use out of the fireplace, kitchen, and sun room. We were just a quick drive from two lovely towns, as well as excellent hiking, which we enjoyed. The area is very relaxing if you are looking for a countryside getaway. The host, Barb, was communicative throughout and offered her assistance whenever needed. Special thanks again to them, would definitely recommend a stay here!
