With two bedrooms sleeping five, this beautiful property is ideal for a family or group of friends wishing to explore the stunning landscapes of the area and be at one with nature. The lovingly renovated barn conversion features a two storey extension accessed through a glass atrium. The merging of the traditional and modern styles, using natural materials including local stone and wood works beautifully, and for the environmentally conscious, this carbon neutral property features solar panels, a heat exchanger and electric vehicle charging station.

Entering the property's glazed atrium style hallway, a wood panelled wall to the rear separates the hallway from the main bathroom. Coat hooks hang on the panelled wall and a large church pew is positioned beneath. A limestone tiled floor with underfloor heating leads through to the master bedroom to the left and into the bathroom straight ahead. To the right, an opening leads through to the open plan living space via a half landing, on a beautiful wooden staircase. Down a few steps, the living space is bright and airy, comprising a kitchen diner with a lounge to one side, in a conservatory style space with glazing to three sides.

Additional storage is cleverly designed into the wall underneath the staircase. A traditional farmhouse table with five chairs takes centre stage, painted in a pale grey. The wonderfully bright lounge area features a brown leather sofa and armchair, with a Smart TV located in the corner of the room and a freestanding lamp for cosy evening lighting. With glazing to three aspects, the views of the surrounding hills from the lounge are stunning. The property's varying ceiling heights, some flat and some pitched, give the space's modern interior a striking and stylish feel. Heading up the stairs to the first floor of the modern extension of Penffrwd-Fach, a bedroom features both a double and single wooden framed bed. The beds sit alongside a wardrobe, two side chairs and a bedside cabinet. With bright white painted walls and a thick grey carpet, the spacious room features angled windows designed into pitch of the ceiling. Next to the bedroom, a cloakroom features a WC and basin.

Crossing the hallway and into the original barn building, the exterior stone walls of the building are visible and a sliding wooden door leads into the stunning master bedroom with a log burner. The full height room features a distinctive feature wall with chimney breast painted in a dark blue. A large double bed sits to one end, with a bedside cabinet to one side and large wooden wardrobe to the other. A large bright yellow rug located in front of the fireplace provides the setting for a cosy seating area, with a coffee table, leather sofa and side chair. Completing the layout, a chest of drawers and dressing table sit either side of the fireplace The room is the perfect space to relax and unwind, and also features an additional door leading outside. Completing the layout of the spacious two bedroom cottage on the banks of Afon Rheidiol, the family bathroom is a beautifully designed room. With the exposed stone walls of the barn to one end, and the remainder of the walls painted a bright white, light floods in from a high level glazed panel opening through to the atrium hallway. A freestanding roll top bath is located to one side, with a basin, WC and a wet room style shower cubicle with rain forest head. The vibrant blue tiles of the shower space and above the basin, contrast beautifully with the bright white of the walls and limestone tiled floor.

Location

 

The rural location of Penffrwd-Fach is perfect for guests wanting a quiet space in beautiful surroundings. Doors lead from the each of the ground floor spaces into a fabulous outdoor area, including a private paddock leading down to the banks of the Afon Rheidiol. A tiled patio leads around the property featuring a number of seating areas including a picnic table, lounge seating with table, barbecue area and a covered seating space, making it ideal for all weather situations. Surrounded by woodland, rolling hills and the nearby river, the spacious two bedroom cottage on the banks of Afon Rheidiol is an idyllic spot to be enjoyed any time of the year. With a number of cycling and walking routes available on the doorstep, it's only a short walk downstream from the property to nearby Rheidol Falls. With direct river access, salmon and trout can be fished from the river at the eastern end of the paddock, provided the correct licenses are issued.

The Vale of Rheidiol Railway passes alongside on the opposite side of the valley, with steam trains running through the wooded hillside and a number of pretty railway stations nearby including Rheidiol Falls Station. Operating since 1902, the railway runs on a 12 mile route from Aberystwyth on the coast to Pontarfynach (Devil's Bridge) and the spectacular waterfalls at this location. The heritage railway is a picturesque attraction and one that shouldn't be missed when in the area. Speaking of Devil's Bridge, this stunning spot is located only 20 minutes away and is a must see. The world famous tourist attraction, which has been the backdrop of a number of TV shows, features three bridges sitting atop one another and the 300 foot Mynach Waterfalls, which are a spectacular natural wonder than can be viewed from the nearby walking trails.

Heading west from Penffrwd-Fach, the seaside resort of Aberystwyth is only 20 minutes away, with a host of attractions and a fabulous beach promenade. Located on the Ceredigion coastline, the university town is vibrant with a fantastic shopping, food and drink scene. Stroll along the one mile promenade and visit the oldest pier in Wales, head to Aberystwyth Castle or take a ride on the Aberystwyth Cliff Railway, the longest of it's type in Britain which offers fabulous views of the town and coastline.

What an amazing place, the views are spectacular, better than you can imagine and walks straight from the spacious light and airy cottage.
I would suggest you find out about the area before you go as there wasn’t really any info with walks or places to visit.

Stunning property in beautiful surroundings. Clean, comfortable and well equipped. Ideally located to explore both coastline and mountains.
Definitely a property that you look forward to come back to after a long day hiking in the surrounding areas. Super cosy even though there were only two of us staying here.
People who have dogs who love water however, please be aware that there is no fence at the end of the garden to the river. Luckily we brought a long line with us so our dog could still enjoy the humongous garden without jumping in the river everyday!
Second Dioni property we have stayed in and again we would highly recommend.

Lovely cottage – very clean, well presented and equipped. Good outdoor space with covered eating area and large enclosed garden which our two large dogs loved exploring. Such a peaceful location with amazing views – lovely to sit and enjoy them over a glass of wine in the evening. Would definitely book again.

Penffrwd-Fach is a beautiful, tranquil space both inside and out. The cottage is open, light and easy to live in.
We needed a rest and thats exactly what we achieved, feeling relaxed and stress free during our stay. The owners were helpful but discreet. Our dogs loved the garden and river. We would definitely recommend a stay here and would definitely revisit .

We had an absolutely fantastic stay! The cottage is perfect for young families. There is lots of space to run around, fantastic views of the valley (and the steam train!) as well as lots to do in the local area! The cottage is very well equipped and has everything you need for a stay.

Kat and Aled are very attentive and offered a great tip to head down the lane as far as you can take your car and head to a rocky area where you or the children and paddle and swim in the water on a nice day.

Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We had a lovely quiet week in this well appointed property. The location is perfect to get away from the hustle and bustle of every day life. The views over the countryside are wonderful, especially seeing the lambs. The highlight for us was the steam train passing every day.

The cottage was clean, very comfortable and well equipped, amazing views in every direction.
Great walks straight from the property which the dog really appreciated.
A convenient base to explore mid and north Wales.
I cant recommend this cottage and its setting highly enough a credit to the owners.
