Overview
Property code: OC-WAT303

Old Vicarage Cottage is a gorgeous property that is bursting with character and history, with parts of the property dating back to the 18th century. It retains some lovely original beams, and a huge inglenook fireplace, with the original smoker and oven on either side. A real focal point in the living area of this cottage. The property is attached at the rear of the owner’s former vicarage home, in extensive landscaped gardens, in the village of Llangeler, just 10 miles from the West Wales coast. The beautiful market towns of Newcastle Emlyn and Llandysul, on the banks of the River Teifi, are both within easy reach. Take a walk around the vast gardens that are bustling with wildlife and flowers, and catch a glimpse of the Red Kites and Sparrow Hawk that are often flying high above. The garden offers numerous areas to sit and relax, taking in the aromas and stunning sights of the flowers and trees that bloom throughout the year. In the evening, enjoy an al-fresco glass of wine in the gardens, underneath the night sky where you are spoilt with the view of thousands of stars, undisturbed by any light pollution. Damsel and Dragonflies are a real delight to watch by the pond. Just at the end of the lane, we have 'Gwili Pottery' where you are able to go throw and paint your own pots. We have many items from Gwili Pottery dotted around the house.

Thanks again for a lovely stay. The cottage is lovely, well equipped and in a very peaceful location. The grounds are amazing and having an opportunity to see the pictures of how the house and gardens were developed shows a true labour of love by Pixie and her family. We have had a great time exploring the area and beyond albeit with a couple of taRead moreil end of hurricanes to put a dampener literally on the weather. Given so, nothing better to experience the force of nature and did not hinder us in getting out and about.

Very peaceful setting in beautiful surroundings. A garden paradise with interesting areas to explore or relax in. Llengeler is within easy reach of many interesting places along the west coast. The owners are delightful and made our stay very special. We hope to be able to return in the not too distant future.

The heating and hot water was stated as included but was in fact controlled by the owner in the adjoining property. This was not a problem but in the winter months could be a bit awkward. The property only had one means of escape from the building. I would suggest a fire door should be fitted between the kitchen and the entrance door. None of the Read moreupper floor windows were labelled as emergency exit windows I would suggest clear labels be shown on escape windows if they can be used as escape windows. I do not recommend holiday destinations or cottages to friends or family as my idea of a good holiday may not be someone elses idea of a great holiday. Hide
