Season: mid April to late May
Colour: Blue, sometimes white
More Information: Bluebells like the shade of woodland, but where the woods have gone, particularly on north facing slopes, they can still be found on open land – a memory of woodland.

Description: Sea Campion, pink campion, bluebells, gorse and ferns.

Initially exploring the ‘taming of birds’ through my paintings, I have begun using photography and short bursts of film to examine the form and substance of their eggs. Last Spring friends collected empty eggshells donating them in handmade boxes stuffed with lamb’s wool and recycled tissue. These eggshells and cases have been filmed and it is my intention to use them to inform future paintings.

The properties have been lovingly transformed from the barns and stables that originally serviced the farm, by Yvonne & Howell, who live in the Farmhouse and are your hosts – attention to detail and a relaxed atmosphere are their by-words.
The cottages are set in 10 glorious acres of grounds which sit invitingly above the village of Cenarth with pastoral views across to the Preseli Hills & Pembrokeshire National Park. Lots of room to run and play for the younger ones and little secluded corners to just sit with a book or watch the Red Kites & Buzzards overhead! Total relaxation is a rare commodity but easily achievable at Penwern Fach.
The cottages are all named after rivers in the surrounding area – Gwaun, Cych, Teifi, Towy, Hirwaun & Cothi – some are easier to pronounce than others! All however are a tasteful blend of old world charm and modern convenience.
We have retained the stone walls and exposed beams and you will find everything you’ll need for holiday comfort – fully equipped kitchens with fridge freezers, washing machines, dishwashers and microwaves.
Cottages are centrally heated but all properties also have a wood-burning stove in the lounge for that real cosy ‘country’ experience.
The cottages boast all the mod cons, think ‘escape to the country’ chic, easy comfort and warm neutral colours. With a toasty log burner in every one, providing the perfect excuse for leaving the All Wales Coastal Path for next time, and staying in with a novel and a glass of something, they make a great base for a luxury break at any time of the year.
Use of the Leisure facilities at Cenarth Falls Resort – Bar Lolfa & Spa on Cenarth Falls Holiday Park just down the road can be enjoyed at a discounted rate for all Cottage guests.
Penwern Fach cottages are situated near Cardigan Bay home of the Bottlenose Dolphins & Grey Seals and about seven miles from some really glorious sandy beaches such as Mwnt, Llangrannog, Aberporth, seaside towns like New Quay and the spectacular coastline of Cardigan Bay.
Numerous golf courses are fairly close by and you can take the opportunity to brush up your skills on our 250 yard golf practice area before heading off for a round or two! We have a football field for the children (young & old), a small games room plus a purpose built Playtower for the little ones.
With their independent boutiques and café culture Newcastle Emlyn, Aberaeron, and Newport are a few miles away. Look out for a super-pod of the local bottlenose Dolphins, or spot the porpoises at the award-winning beaches of Mwnt, Tresaith and Llangrannog – all are easily accessible from Penwern Fach.
Just a mile or so down the road is the picturesque little village of Cenarth with a Supermarket, Church and two village Pubs and which is well known for its Salmon Leap Waterfalls. The market town of Newcastle Emlyn is just 3 miles further on.
The county town of Cardigan is just seven miles west from the cottages and has a fair selection of craft shops, theatre, galleries, library not to mention the larger supermarkets for the weekly shop. A fine Abbey and Church is at nearby St.Dogmaels and a mile or so along the estuary is the popular beach of Poppit Sands

The David Bellamy Award has given us this chance. Maes Glas has therefore been developed to be in harmony with the valley in which it nestles
Amenities on the park include a shop selling a wide range of goods, take-away selling a variety of hot foods, launderette, children’s play area, the Gamezone with pool table and video games to keep young and old amused and plenty of open space for you to enjoy.

Small dogs are permitted if kept strictly on a lead and under proper control at all times. Your car maybe parked adjacent to the caravan. Bookings are normally from Saturday to Saturday, but weekend bookings may be available during early and late season.
The caravan is available from 2.30pm on the day of arrival and must be vacated by 10am on the date of departure. We ask your help in leaving the caravan clean and tidy
Our caravans are fully equipped to Wales Tourist Board standards, the beds are provided with duvet covers, duvets, pillows & pillow cases and bottom sheets. You will need to bring own towels and tea towels.

There are tea and coffee making facilities in your room and a small fridge. I am also happy to supply crockery, cutlery, glasses etc to help make your stay as comfortable as possible. There are some places within a few miles serving takeaway breakfasts.
Due to the current climate and its new regulations, I have decided to change the format of the guesthouse. I am now offering room only accommodation and so far, it seems to be working well.
Beryl Painting had been taking guests from 1970 up until 2009 when her daughter, Mandy took over. Her fine reputation for providing homely accommodation and a warm welcome continue to this day.
