  • "A great location in quiet surroundings."

    The cottage is spacious and well equipped. A few things need fixing, primarily the blinds in a few rooms don’t work properly. Wi-Fi good, TV choice not so good. No local news wasn’t available due to storm damage on the aerial. Overall a pleasant stay.

    Hi, thanks for letting us know about the blinds. They're now fixed. The TV works from the WiFi now so all local channels should be available. We've reset the default BBC channel as BBC Wales. We hope you enjoyed your stay at Ger-y-llan. Property Owner

  • "We are returning guests having enjoyed the peace, quiet and comfort of Ger Y Llan on several occasions."

    The cottage is in a lovely setting, surrounded by a well maintained secure garden,bordered by 2 streams. Watching the weather unfold over the hills across the valley was one of my favourite pastimes, one day the hills are wreathed in mist and rain, and on another you can watch as the rising sun illuminates the hillside and washes into the valley below. Geryllan is a wonderful spot for bird watching, especially comfortable from the dining room table watching them attack the bird feeders in the garden. This is a wonderful base if you're looking for a quiet retreat, or for a more active break as it's in excellent walking/mountain biking country. The log burner is an added attraction, exuding warmth and comfort from its glowing heart. Peter, Gwen , Rachel and Sandy are excellent hosts and are quick to respond to any queries or problems. We definitely recommend this Welsh gem .

    Hi Simon, we're so glad that once again you have enjoyed your stay at Ger y llan. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Thank you for your great review ☺️. Property Owner

  • "Lovely stay at Geryllan for Christmas 2025."

    Idyllic location, away from it all. Woodburner was really great to have. Beds very comfortable, lovely warm duvets. The two chairs in the lounge weren’t very comfortable, but everything else was good. Lots of walks on the doorstep and lovely to be able to walk along the river bank. Lots of bird watching and red kites galore! Would definitely return for another stay and would check out the two local pubs which we didn’t get round to visiting this stay.

    Thank you Jane for your lovely review. We're certainly looking at replacing one of the living room chairs. It's a very old but stylish chair which has seen better days! We certainly hope you return. Property Owner

  • "Ger-y-llan was a beautiful home from home for our stay in a breathtakingly scenic part of Wales."

    Bungalow was clean, cosy and well equipped for a family stay. The board games cupboard was a welcome bonus for my boys although there were quite a few pieces missing and broken parts. We loved feeding the birds, toasting marshmallows by the chiminea, appreciated the dark skies to stargaze and the beds were really comfy! A previous review mentioned an uncomfortable sofa but I think the old one has been replaced. I can report the new sofa is perfectly comfy, maybe the photos need updating. Had there been a dishwasher, I would have found it really hard to leave! Thank you for a perfect break away!

    Thank you and we're so glad you had a lovely stay at Ger-y-llan. We'll look at the games and see what we can replace. Photos updated as suggested. Property Owner

  • "We chose to come here in the hopes of escaping the hustle and bustle of London for a week and we werent disappointed!"

    The bungalow is spacious and homely and nestled in a quiet valley that provides walks straight from the door. There's no phone signal outdoors but the WiFi signal was excellent and there was even fire TV to relax with after a busy day of exploring. Overall a memorable stay and we would highly recommend to anyone looking for peace and tranquility. Thank you Peter!

    We're so glad you had such a peaceful stay. Property Owner

    Lovely cottage in a peaceful and quiet village. Great pub called the Royal Oak is a 5 minute walk away. We had Sunday dinner there infront of an open fire and it was brilliant. The new owners were very welcoming and couldn't do enough for us. Definitely will be going back to the cottage and pub.

  • "A very spacious and comfortable bungalow, with a lovely garden and little stream running around it , which sounds lovely in the evening."

    Opposite is a collection of sheep, ducks, geese and chickens, with fresh eggs available for a small charge. Spacious bedrooms and comfy beds . A generous living space with a suntrap patio with seating and chimnea, which was well used with the weather we had !! . Might be useful for hooks on backs of doors to hang towels and dressing gowns ? . We had a wonderful stay and even had a Sunday roast in The Royal oak pub , a nice stroll about 10 mins , but need strong legs to climb the very steep hill!! , but at least its all downhill on way back !! . Good communication with Peter, the owner. Many thanks for letting us stay in your lovely bungalow.

    However the description of the location and the nearby facilities is completely inadequate and misleading. Would we have have stayed knowing that the nearest place for food or supermarket is a 20min drive away... No. I strongly suggest you update local facilities

The property

A tranquil, secluded bungalow set in pretty gardens, surrounded by working farmland, with valley views on the outskirts of Rhandirmwyn, a small village on the edge of the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons).

Just a short drive from the pretty, popular market town of Llandovery, the house is the perfect base for exploring the area, with its peaceful location making it ideal for a relaxing family holiday, or a getaway with a group of friends.

All ground floor, there are three double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate shower room.

There is an open plan living area with a well-equipped kitchen, a dining area with lovely views on both sides and a comfortable sitting area with a TV and DVD player.

Sip your morning cup of coffee as you enjoy the views across the garden and beyond, and in the evenings you can curl up by the woodburner and reminisce about the day's adventures.

Outside, sit on the patio and relax, listening to the soothing babbling sounds of the streams that border the garden, and stoke up the chiminea as the evening wears on.

The area is surrounded by stunning views and with valley walks from the doorstep, make sure you pack your walking boots!

Walk up Dinas Hill, to the hideaway cave of the historic highwayman Twm Sion Cati, try and spot the elusive dippers on the banks of the streams, or take a 30-mile drive to the popular Pen-y-Fan, the highest peak in South Wales.

The area is rich in mining history; Rhandirmwyn was once the site of the thriving Nantymwyn lead mine and a few miles away is the National Trust Dolcothi Gold Mine, so why not give panning for gold a go?

Close to the edge of the National Park, you are ideally placed to explore the mountains and foot hills of the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons).

The area offers various outdoor activities, such as pony trekking, fishing and birdwatching, as well as great walking routes and cycle trails.

The thriving little town of Llandovery is just seven miles away and an hour's drive will take you to the beautiful Regency Harbour town of Aberaeron and the stunning Ceredigion Bay.

20 miles away is the popular riverside town of Llandeilo, with its fabulous boutique-style shopping and the striking National Trust nature reserve and historic house, Dinefwr.

Peaceful and secluded, where you can enjoy the tranquillity of the valley, yet still be in the heart of a village community, Geryllan is a fabulous holiday home for all.

RHANDIRMWYN

Llandovery 7 miles.

Rhandirmwyn nestles beautifully in the foothills of the Cambrian Mountains, and is set on either side of the River Tywi. This is a perfect location for outdoor enthusiasts seeking an idyllic rural retreat. Dinas RSPB reserve and Llyn Brianne reservoir are a short distance away as is Twm Sion Catti’s cave (hiding place of the Welsh Robin Hood!) Spectacular cycling and walking routes such as the Cwm Rhaeadr trail are right on the doorstep, with beauty and exhilaration combined. Walkers and cyclists can tackle the scenic routes before enjoying a rest at the Towy Bridge Inn next to the century old metal Tywi Bridge or in the heart of the village, at the Royal Oak country pub - both serve good food all year round. Rhandirmwyn's hollow oak tree is reputed to have started life in the 12th century, which probably makes it the oldest tree in Carmarthenshire, and a unique natural highlight for visitors to this pretty village. The Drovers market town of Llandovery is also nearby and offers a wide range of day-to-day facilities, restaurants, pubs and the Heart of Wales railway station operating between Swansea and Shrewsbury, while further north you can enjoy a variety of events at Builth Wells Showground. With the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons) and Black Mountains on hand this is a walker’s paradise. There are many days out to choose from in this lovely area, including Dolaucothi Gold Mine, Dinefwr Park and Castle, Aberglasney House and Gardens, the National Botanic Garden of Wales and Dan-yr-Ogof Showcaves, all of which are a short drive away. The seaside is just over an hour away to the Ceredigion coastline with its quiet, secluded beaches, seal and dolphin watching. A delightful village in beautiful countryside.
