Overview
Description
Fabulous holiday home set in extensive grounds and located near to the village of Llangrannog within walking distance (45 mins) of village pub, café and Blue Flag beach. indoor fully enclosed BBQ hut with bar extension installed September '24, just in case it rains but you want some grill cooking action. We have a wood fired soaking tub which seats 7/8 people set in a private garden setting. Fully renovated former farmhouse with luxury kitchen and bathroom and literally acres of private space to relax and enjoy the countryside. The farmhouse sleeps 7 (+1) in 4 bedrooms; two king-size bedrooms, a single bedroom (with further single pull-out bed) and a small bunk room (ideal for children). There is a large living / dining room with wood burning stove, smart TV and WiFi. We have a large elevated kitchen with a triple aspect, window seats, kitchen island with seating, chaise sofa, range style cooker and the all important wine cooler. As part of renovations we installed a brand new luxury bathroom with free standing bath and walk-in drench shower. Access is available to a basement room with pool table and dart board. There is a small babbling stream flowing through the centre of the grounds with several separate garden areas to explore including a mini-orchard with apple, plum, pear and cherry trees, a small wooded area and 1 acre grassed field with football posts at the front of the property with grounds totalling 2 acres. The gardens are regularly visited by birds including Red Kite, Buzzard, Gold Finch, Bull Finch, Great Spotted Woodpecker, various species of Tits, Nuthatch, Grey Wagtail, Wren, Jay, Goldcrest, Pheasant and more.Located in a secluded outdoor space near the stream, the wood fired hot tub is a hands on experience and guests will need to light the fire and add wood to the stove periodically to warm the water. There are no chemicals in the water, so along with the anti-bacterial properties of the western red cedar construction and the sterilising nature of heat from the stove, both elements combine to ensure a totally natural bathing experience. Best enjoyed on clear night to enjoy the dark skies as we are blessed with very little light pollution.
Recently completed in early 2021 is our roof terrace attached to the end of the kitchen with outdoor dining seating, lounge seating, sun beds, BBQ and wood fired pizza oven. The terrace is a great place to relax and unwind.
We have installed a house alarm and outdoor CCTV as added security.

Leave ReviewPerfect home from home stay
By chris cushing on 25-Oct-2025A great house with everything you could need. The hot tub was a great experience even as it started to rain. The outside BBQ hut is amazing with a magical lit footpath down to it, had many a nice night cooking food around the fire. After a long day out in the October rain it was great to come back to a lovely warm house. So nice to have a proper pool table in the games room. Would recommend this house as a great base.
Idyllic location and beautiful house
By Wendy May on 19-Jul-2025We have stayed at this lovely house many times now and it gets better every year. Paul and Cath are great to deal with and the house is always spotless. They are always looking to improve the property; this year the addition was a BBQ hut in the garden which we found was great fun to cook over the grill while inside the cosy hut and it would be amazing in the autumn/winter. There is plenty of room for our family of four and the grandparents in the farmhouse and everything you could possibly need is provided. We all love the pizza oven and wood-fired hot tub but best of all is the total peace and quiet of the wonderful secluded setting amongst the trees and yet you are only a few minutes from Llangrannog and the beach. Highly recommend a stay at Cil-y-Gorwell its just the most relaxing and restorative place for a holiday.
Lovely holiday home to escape from it all!
By Natalie, Rob & Evan on 25-May-2025Myself, my partner, and our son stayed at Cil-y-Gorwel during the school-term holidays to escape our everyday lives. We wanted somewhere quiet, relaxing, and secluded to feel away from it all, and Cil-y-Gorwel is all that and more! The grounds are beautiful, lush green, and all you can hear is birdsong. There is a wood-fired hot tub, a barbecue hut, as well as a second barbecue and pizza oven out on the patio, and plenty of space to play on the grass. My partner was delighted to have a pool table and played a few times a day! Also, it is good to mention that the internet speed is great, and we did manage to get a phone signal in parts of the home. I loved the large shower and it had decent water pressure. We appreciated the welcome basket of wine and cakes from the owners. Paul was great; he even offered to give us a demonstration of the barbecue hut! We throughly enjoyed our stay here and was sad to leave. Until next time!

Many thanks for the great review and look forward to seeing you in the future.
We love it here !
By Karen S on 29-Dec-2024Our new year stay was the third time we have stayed at Cil y Gorwel. The new bbq hut is a fantastic addition. The house is in a secluded area , very peaceful. It has everything needed to not leave the property if you wish , but there are lots of lovely places to visit nearby including Llangranog, New Quay, Aberaeron plus lots of secluded beaches. We make full use of the facilities at the house , wood fired hot tub in a secluded part of the huge garden, the new bbq hut , pizza oven and games room . Also one of our favourite things is watching the bird on the bird feeders from the patio doors , lots of different birds to see including a woodpecker. When we have visited in the warmer months the outdoor patio is a great place to socialise. The house is very comfortable and equipped with everything you need . We loved our stay over new year and we are looking forward to our 4th stay in the summer. Great for all ages , our boys are older teenagers now but are still happy to come on holiday with us when we go to Cil y Gorwel 😀
Our favourite happy place
By The Miller-Brownlies on 27-Jul-2024Having just returned from our 7th holiday at Cil-Y-Gorwel, A home away from home with everything you could ever need, Cil-Y-Gorwel really is a magical place surrounded by open countryside and an abundance of wildlife. Cath and Paul have truly gone above and beyond to create a wonderful holiday home. There are acres of space for children and dogs to roam safely where they can make as much noise as they like with the only neighbours to disturb being the herd of cows in the adjoining field . With a football net, basketball hoop, a well stocked games room and a large variety of boardgames and Netflix there is never a dull moment. After spending the day at one of the many fabulous beaches that are a short drive away, coming back to the comfortable terrace with the pizza oven, BBQ and fire pit on a summer evening followed by star gazing from the hot tub is an absolute must. Cil-Y-Gorwel really is our favourite happy place The photos don`t do it justice.
