The Stables is a self-contained self-catering annex set in a peaceful spot near Tregaron, in the quiet heart of mid Wales.

Being self-contained, it gives you complete privacy and the freedom to plan your days entirely your own way, whether that means long hill walks, lazy mornings or unhurried drives through the lanes of mid Wales.

Tregaron and the heart of Wales

Tregaron is a traditional Welsh market town that grew up as a meeting point for the old cattle drovers, and it still has a strong sense of its own community and language. On its doorstep lies Cors Caron, a magnificent raised bog and National Nature Reserve with boardwalk trails and a famous population of red kites, which wheel overhead in good numbers. Beyond rise the wild, empty Cambrian Mountains — sometimes called the “green desert of Wales” — threaded with remote lakes such as the Teifi Pools and Llyn Brianne. Within reach you will also find the romantic ruins of Strata Florida Abbey, the dramatic gorge and waterfalls at Devil’s Bridge, and the seaside town of Aberystwyth on the Cardigan Bay coast.

More to explore nearby

Tregaron itself is worth getting to know, with its statue of the drover and boxer Henry Richard on the square, the Rhiannon Welsh Gold Centre, and traditional inns serving local food. A little to the north, the village of Pontrhydfendigaid is the gateway to Strata Florida, a 12th-century Cistercian abbey set in a beautiful, remote valley once at the heart of Welsh religious and cultural life. The remote uplands of the Elenydd, the Teifi Pools and the reservoir at Llyn Brianne offer some of the wildest scenery in Wales, while the Cambrian Mountains are designated for their exceptionally dark skies, making clear nights here genuinely special for stargazing. The Cardigan Bay coast, with its beaches and dolphin-watching, is also within comfortable reach for a day by the sea.
