Artist retreat

Creativity needs space and time out to dream. Ty Cariad is a cottage in the foothills of the Cambrian Mountains which I renovated between 2007-9. Here artists can seek inspiration and take time to draw breath whilst immersed in the stunning landscape and nature reserves surrounding the historic Hafod Estate in the Ystwyth Valley. Ty Cariad is Welsh for 'Beloved House' and the attention to detail and loving restoration of the interior of the cottage will provide ample space to relax by the wood-burner and unwind to the sound of birdsong. The image above is one of the views from the main bedroom, which has a triple-aspect, a high oak beamed ceiling to the roof and a four-poster bed. The house is filled with vintage finds and comfortable furniture. We're getting some fabulous feedback in the visitors book!
