Crud Yr Awel, translating to "Cradle the Breeze" in Welsh, is a charming 200-year-old stone cottage located in the picturesque village of Llanddewi Brefi, Tregaron, Ceredigion, Dyfed, Wales. This historic home, once owned by Mark Cox, the guitarist for Van Morrison in the 1970s, has gained a reputation as a lively party house, with whispers of visits from famous personalities like Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithfull. Nestled at the edge of the village along a serene lane, the cottage offers a tranquil atmosphere, backed by the peaceful churchyard of Dewi Saint, known for its legendary miracle of raising the ground for better sermon visibility.
The village itself is rich in character, having gained notoriety from the TV show Little Britain. It boasts a community shop that features a variety of local produce, wines, and groceries, alongside two welcoming pubs known for their real ales and hearty pub fare. The nearby market town of Lampeter, just eight miles away, provides additional amenities such as supermarkets, a swimming pool, and various cafes, including the award-winning Mulberry Bush Cafe. The village is family-friendly, with a fenced children's play area and a football pitch available at the local community center, enhancing its appeal for visitors of all ages.
Surrounded by stunning countryside, the cottage is perfectly positioned for outdoor enthusiasts, offering access to dramatic mountain scenery, gentle rolling pastures, and picturesque woods, ideal for cycling and exploring. The cottage accommodates up to ten guests across four bedrooms, which include two doubles, a family room with a double and two single beds, and a single bedroom. The bathroom features both a walk-in shower and a bath, while the dining room, adorned with an antique table, piano, and vintage china, provides a warm setting for family meals. A special Victorian tea set is available for celebratory occasions, with homemade scones and cake offered for an additional price.
The cottage garden enhances the experience with tables, chairs, and a barbecue for outdoor dining, and guests are encouraged to use the fresh herbs grown nearby. Local attractions include Strata Florida Abbey and the National Trust's Dolaucothi Gold Mines, which showcase the area's natural beauty, alongside Cors Caron and Devil's Bridge Falls. For those seeking adventure, activities such as sailing, surfing, ecotours, and cycling are readily accessible, making Crud Yr Awel an ideal retreat for those looking to immerse themselves in the serene Welsh countryside while enjoying modern comforts.
