Clyn Glas is an old farmhouse which has been developed over the last two centuries. In the past it was connected to the local woolen industry and it is believed that weaving was carried out on the premises. It is situated in a spectacular position overlooking the valley where the Hiraeth stream runs on its journey to join the river Teifi. (A well renowned Salmon & Sea trout river). The name " Clyn Glas"is derived from an old Welsh word -"clyne" - and means "Green Meadow".

The cottages at Clyn Glas have been adapted and extended from an old agricultural building which probably originally served as a cowshed. The cottages have recently been refurbished to a very high standard. They both have their own gardens and garden furniture is supplied. There are glorious views over the valley and the birds which visit are many & varied. Large birds of prey (buzzards & red kites) can be seen circling overhead.

The surrounding area is stunning and walks can be taken from the cottages. The sandy beaches of Cardigan Bay are only 20 minutes away and within the area are many things to see and do for people of all ages.

At Clyn Glas we are able to offer tuition in wood turning on an individual basis. Tony has been wood turning for about twelve years now. What began as a hobby became an obsession and is now a way of life. Our move to West Wales from North Herefordshire was largely determined by our ambition to run a holiday centre which could offer facilities which are ideal for tuition, on both a day or residential basis.
Our workshop has been refurbished to provide spacious accommodation which is comfortable to work in and we hope to provide a flexible strategy which will fit almost any customer requirement. It is quite possible for guests to come and stay without there being any interest in the workshop at all. However, it could be that some guests would want to participate in classes for most of the duration of their stay. Out of high season we would hope to arrange short stay breaks for those who like to develop interests in addition to the normal run of holiday activities.

We look to provide encouragement for any who would like to gain confidence in their handling of a lathe, whether they are complete novices or have already gained some experience in wood turning. Whatever your requirements or interests, it is likely that we can help you. A telephone call might offer you the answers to any questions you might need to ask. We will always be happy to discuss your requirements with you.

Charges for the courses will vary. As a guide, it has been our practice to charge £100.00 for a full day’s individual tuition including two full sessions in the workshop and refreshments throughout the day. This will be our standard charge for day tuition, but for guests at the cottages we will offer a half day for £25.00 or a full day for £45.00. There will also be a minor charge of a few pounds to cover wood blanks used and any other items incorporated in the articles made. These latter will, of course be the property of the person learning the craft once the lesson is complete, and so everyone has a tangible reminder of their lesson(s).
