Park your car and access the property via the spacious utility room with washing machine and drier, where there is also access to a downstairs WC.
Enter the fabulous kitchen diner, flooded with natural light, with an open plan snug, perfect for preparing a lovely family meal, or a great space to entertain and sit and play board games, with its patio doors to decked terrace and outdoor seating area. The kitchen has a full size fridge as well as all mod cons, including a nespresso coffee machine.
Off the kitchen is the cosy living room with SMART TV, perfect to snuggle up and watch a film on an evening, with an imitation log burner. There is a further hallway with door to ground floor double bedroom and an ensuite shower room with corner shower unit.
Upstairs you will find a beautifully decorated large king bedroom, along with a spacious twin bedroom and family bathroom with shower over the bath.
Externally there is a sweeping circular drive area with a tiered lawned area to the centre, and a curved terrace with a covered hot tub boasting far reaching rural views, and outdoor dining furniture. There is a Charcoal BBQ available for guest use to enjoy the evening sun. Lower down the large plot is the main cottage with decked terrace and seating area, ideal for a morning coffee.
Children will love the tarmaced areas for kicking a ball around, or just simply watching the countryside and animals in the surrounding fields (depending on time of year). Although this was a working farm, the cottage has been separated and access to fields is not via the grounds. There is a storage unit available upon request for any bikes or watersports equipment.
This property is perfect for family gatherings, and for those wanting a peaceful holiday away from it all.

We loved our stay at Defrach.
Hanna went out of her way to help us, we couldn’t be more grateful.
The house was beautiful, so cosy and felt like home instantly.
The scenery was insane, we were always in the hot tub admiring views (now we understand why it is where it is located!)
They had everything you need in the house, we never ate out and was there a week.
Our kids and their friends who joined us loved the place.
It is a 20 minute drive to a local shop and further to a supermarket so would recommend a food delivery so you can kick back and enjoy when you are there.
We loved it and didn’t want to come home.
Thankyou so much

Me and my family had stayed at Drefach from the 31st of August till the 4th of September. Instructions for checking in were straightforward. The property itself was very clean and the surroundings were beautiful. The kitchen was well-stocked with pots, pans, utensils, plates and cutlery as well as some essential cooking ingredients. The beds were comfy and the hot tub was brilliant. Overall, we all had a great time, including our dog who enjoyed his stay. We would recommend this property.

The property and grounds surpassed all expectations. Everything was spotless, the amenities are fantastic, including the hottub with outstanding views. The grounds are perfect for an explorative toddler with a lot of energy.
We cannot recommend this place enough and will definitely be back soon!
Great escapes were fantastic with communication prior to and during our stay and we would not hesitate to use them in the future.
Thank you for a wonderful week away.

Beautiful house and gardens, with fabulous views. The house has everything you need and there is everything you could need in the kitchen to cook with and clean up. We even did a roast dinner! The hot tub was lovely and clean. House was spotless. Good quality beds, bedding, towels etc. The host was very responsive to questions and even accommodated an early check-in to allow for a Tesco delivery. Highly recommend this place.

An absolutely beautiful spacious farmhouse with a hot tub. Hanna was an incredible host and went out of her way to hand deliver bbq utensils to us and was very friendly throughout our stay. This is an amazing place to stay with beautiful views. Watching the sunset from the hot tub was an added bonus. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a nice relaxing stay in the countryside which you won’t regret. It is a great private space and perfect for couples or families. Can’t wait to come back again for another memorable break :)

We had such an enjoyable stay in Blaenwaun! House was absolutely gleaming, in spotless condition in an idyllic location! Amazing views across the West Wales countryside in peaceful bliss
Our host Hanna was so helpful! Everything was laid out for us, clear instructions and always willing to help us if we needed anything.
Already planning a return trip for next summer, missing that Hot tub already

The house was immaculate - so clean and well equipped. Hanna had thought of everything. It was also warm and cosy and we were lucky with the weather, enabling us to sit outside on a few afternoons. The peaceful setting and wonderful views added to our great stay. Would highly recommend.

Outstanding accommodation, the location in particular provided breathtaking views.
The house itself is very well equipped and there is nothing that you need to buy to make your stay comfortable. A welcome pack of chocolates, biscuits, wine, milk and butter were very much appreciated.
The layout of the property is perfect for a family or couples looking for a relaxing break.
The grounds are perfect for explorative energetic children, our son particularly loved his morning visit to the cows.
I cannot recommend this place enough, it’s an absolute steal and we will definitely be back!
Thank you for the perfect week away.

The house was warm and cosy on arrival. It literally has everything you need and a bit more to enjoy a fabulous stay!
We found the beds really comfy, enjoyed the living room and kitchen areas as this allowed us all to gather in one space (6 of us). Our group also really enjoyed the hot tub too! We loved all the little details that had been put into the home, it really was a great experience!
Would highly recommend a stay here. Beautiful views and lots of opportunities for star gazing in the evenings.
Thank you for letting us stay and enjoy the home.
We are excited to come back!
