Nant-y-Bargoed, Carmarthenshire, Wales

Nant-y-Bargoed enjoys a peaceful position halfway along a dead-end road in a wooded valley. A stream runs to the front, and there is good country walking from the door. The interior is simple, and comfortable with under-floor heating via a biomass boiler, a very efficient woodburner, and an open fire. Only the two neighbours use the lane that passes to front. Halfway between Carmarthen and Cardigan, there is plenty to explore locally or head out (around 35 mins) to the beaches of Ceredigion or Pembrokeshire.

Managed by the award-winning agency Under the Thatch, Nant-y-Bargoed is a traditional West Wales cottage newly renovated with sustainability in mind.
