West View, Brongest, Newcastle Emlyn

Self-catering, centrally heated accommodation in a beautiful rural setting

The furnished lounge/bedroom has a double bed (extra single bed and/or cot if required), Freeview TV and an en-suite bathroom with shower, washbasin and toilet.
The fitted kitchen has a cooker, microwave and refrigerator and with a view across the Ceri valley.
Bed linen and towels are provided - none of which may be removed from the premises.

     The garden is available for guests' enjoyment and from which can be seen Buzzards (most days) and Red Kites (several days per week). Fishing is another popular pastime in the area, rod licences and permits available in Cenarth, famous for its salmon, waterfalls and coracles.
     There are steam railways at Henllan (narrow gauge) and at Bronwydd (standard gauge), both on the track bed of the famous Teifi Valley line that once linked Carmarthen to Aberystwyth and Newcastle Emlyn. The Vale of Rheidol steam railway runs from Aberystwyth main line station to Devils Bridge.
     West Wales has lots of castles, some almost habitable and others, like Castell Newydd Emlyn (4 miles away) with its fine river views, are evidence that plundering buildings for their stone is easier than quarrying!
     There is a manufacturing woollen mill less than two miles away and the National Wool Museum is situated at Drefach Felindre approx 6 miles away. Other Welsh crafts are prolific, full details being given in the tourist guides provided for guests' convenience.

                Nearby attractions - for those with their own car or motorbike.

• Cardigan - shopping and historic river port, near to Poppit Sands
  
• Carmarthen - good for shopping - not yet a 'clone' town - trains to just about anywhere and with it's own unique history and charm.
• Cenarth - fishing, salmon leap, shops pub/restaurants, river walks
  
• Aberaeron - small seaside town at the end of the lovely Aeron Valley
  
• New Quay - sheltered beaches, harbour views - often of dolphins, famous for fresh mackerel to take away or enjoy in pubs or restaurants
  
• Fishguard - not just a ferry port for trips to Ireland, but with its own delights in the old town and fishing harbour.
  
• Lampeter - Wales' oldest university town, en route to the Cambrian Mountains and Tregaron's Red Kite Centre
  
• Aberystwyth - combination of traditional seaside and university town, with its old narrow streets, wide promenade, harbour, cliff lift and main line railway station.
  
• Small beaches and coves - there are several villages, most with toilets, pubs, shops and seals - the nearest, Tresaith is five miles.
  
• Places within walking/cycling distance? Of course this depends entirely on how fit and keen you are! The views are worth the effort.
  
• Local lanes - the direct route to Brongest is easy for walkers and dangerous for cyclists - unless you are an experienced mountain biker…. There is a Post Office (within the "Smallholding Centre" our local Estate Agent, which also sells souvenirs) a public 'phone box, a Chapel and occasionally you may see fruit and vegetables displayed on a table outside local houses. Coming back up Salem Hill is another matter! A longer route is available via Troedyraur Church, which lets you deal with the change in altitude in easier sections rather than one short hard slog! For Mountain Bikers, some of our paved lanes are as challenging as some "off road" venues.
  
• Curlew Woollen Mill. Once again, it depends how fit you are. Although not as comprehensive as the National Woollen Museum in Drefach Felindre you are able to look around the working bits as well as purchase items for presents etc..
  
• Bus Services. West View is on a circular route, which gives access to Newcastle Emlyn and Cardigan - there are timetables for some routes in the flat. Once in Newcastle Emlyn there are buses to Cardigan and Carmarthen, where there are a variety of services to more distant destinations - but careful planning is required to avoid being stranded….
