    Warm and snug even on the coldest Welsh morning (too cold for the outside bath tho!). Walks a short drive away, such as Hafod. Would stay again. Thanks

    Real pleasure having you and lovely four-legged Chloe stay with is. Glad you enjoyed visiting The Hafod despite the rain on the second day. Come back again so you can use the outside bath!! All the best Property Owner

  • "What an amazing place to stay, with a great view, peaceful and relaxing, a fantastic welcome pack including homemade bread warm from the oven, our hosts were brilliant and even let us leave late as their was no immediate booking after us."

    There’s plenty to see and do in the area. We even braved the outdoor bath in November! Though wore our woolly hats, what a sight!

    So glad you enjoyed it, it was a pleasure. Just to let you know, woolly hats in the outdoor bath are compulsory all year round!!! Hope to see you again. Property Owner

    The accommodation was lovely with an amazing view. Lots of lovely walks nearby too. The hosts were very welcoming, and went above and beyond in providing everything we needed for our stay. It was very relaxing and we’ll definitely be back for another stay.

    Thank you very much for your nice words. It would be a pleasure to see you again. Don't tell too many people though as mid-Wales is the best kept secret in the UK! Property Owner

  • "We had the pleasure of spending two nights at the enchanting Kite's Nest as a special birthday getaway, and it truly exceeded our expectations!"

    The cabin is impeccably designed and exudes a sense of luxury. The ambiance is incredibly tranquil and serene, making it the ideal haven for cocooning, watching movies, and simply unwinding. The outdoor bathtub was a major highlight, offering the ultimate escape from the everyday hustle and bustle. Kite's Nest served as an excellent home base for exploring numerous local attractions. In fact, there were so many enticing places to visit that we could have easily extended our stay and still not had the chance to experience them all. We were warmly welcomed, and the hosts went out of their way to ensure that nothing was too much trouble for us.

    Thank you for your booking and for your lovely review. it means a lot to us. it was a pleasure to have you stay and hope to see you again one day. Property Owner

About the location

PONTRHYDFENDIGAID

Tregaron 5.5 miles; Devil’s Bridge 9 miles; Aberystwyth 16 miles.

Pontrhydfendigaid is a small village in Mid Wales between Devil’s Bridge and Tregaron. The village lies on the edge of the Cambrian Mountains in beautiful countryside. It sits on the River Teifi and his home to a local shop and two nearby pubs, The Teifi Inn and The Hafod Hotel. Devil's Bridge has been a tourist attraction for centuries and was celebrated by author George Borrow who wrote Wild Wales in 1854. This famous bridge spans the Mynach, a tributary of the River Rheidol and is unique as it is actually three bridges in one, the original built around 1100, the second above this in 1753 and the third in 1903. The bridge is at a point where the River Mynach drops 90 metres (300 ft) in 5 steps down a steep and narrow ravine before it meets the River Rheidol. The set of stone steps leading down to the lowest bridge at the waterfall are known as Jacob's Ladder. The attraction offers viewing points and after the steep walk there is a hotel and cafe for refreshments. This whole area boasts stunning scenery and wildlife and is renowned for walking, cycling, fishing and bird watching as well as trips to the beautiful Cardigan Bay coastline with its wild cliffs and sandy beaches.
