Bro Dafydd B&B Accommodation

A peaceful, highly rated country B&B near Aberystwyth

Bro Dafydd is a welcoming bed and breakfast in the village of Penrhyncoch, set in the quiet Ceredigion countryside a few miles outside Aberystwyth. It is an adults-only, grown-up sort of place with comfortable rooms, lovely mountain and garden views and a made-to-order cooked breakfast that guests rave about — earning it a wonderful 9.2 out of 10 from more than 150 reviews on Booking.com, with the WiFi rated 9.5. If you want a calm, scenic base for exploring the Cambrian coast and the hills behind it, this is an excellent choice.

The rooms

There is a comfortable choice of rooms to suit couples and friends: a Twin Room with a mountain view, a Double Room with a garden view, and a roomier Deluxe Double or Twin with a mountain view. Rooms come with tea- and coffee-making facilities, work desks and, in some, sofa beds, and the whole house is non-smoking. The setting really makes it — there are gardens and outdoor seating areas to relax in, and those views over the countryside and hills are a lovely thing to wake up to. As an adults-only B&B (minimum check-in age 18), it stays peaceful, with quiet hours overnight.

Breakfast and the practical bits

Breakfast is a real highlight — a full cooked breakfast, made to order and highly praised by guests. There is free private parking on site and free WiFi throughout. Check-in is from 2pm to 3pm and check-out by 10.30am, and as a quiet, adults-only house, pets are not accepted and there is a no-parties policy. It is the sort of restful, well-run B&B that suits walkers, cyclists and couples after a peaceful few days.

Penrhyncoch and the Aberystwyth area

Penrhyncoch is perfectly placed for the best of Ceredigion. The lively university and seaside town of Aberystwyth, with its castle, promenade and cliff railway, is a short drive away, and the beach at Clarach Bay is around 4.9 miles off. Cyclists and walkers are spoilt for choice, with the red-kite feeding station and mountain-bike trails of Bwlch Nant yr Arian close by, and the mountains of Snowdonia (Eryri) about eight miles to the north. The narrow-gauge Vale of Rheidol Railway and the waterfalls at Devil’s Bridge also make memorable days out. The Georgian harbour town of Aberaeron, the quiet Cambrian coast beaches and the long-distance Ystwyth and Rheidol trails are all within easy reach too, so walkers, cyclists and beach-lovers are equally well served.
