Vendor Interview:

This is a remarkable part of the world. Prior to choosing Gorsdalfa, Julie and I did a tour of Wales with my initial preference being Gywnedd, where my family is from. However, a brief stopover in Cross Inn convinced us otherwise. The community is a healthy mix of locals and ex pats from all over the place. At its heart you have The Rhos Yr Hafod pub, which has regularly won West Wales camra Pub Of The Year, and Glenarthen Stores in the village where you will get to know everything (and everyone!) about the area.

The tranquillity and harmony with nature is a standout quality of the life we have led here, with Red Kites, Honey Buzzards, Owls, Pipistrelle bats and Cuckoos being regular visitors. We even have our own semi-domesticated pheasants who roam the grounds. In addition to this it is not uncommon to see otters, badgers, hedgehogs and the odd pine marten, as well as the cows in the fields owned by Gerwyn the local dairy farmer. It is a truly calming environment which we will miss so much. The bridleway at the back of the property leads to the famous Ty Nant springwater facility and also to Cross Inn forest which is perfect for walks.

The guests who visit our cottages (many of whom frequently return) value all of this as our Visitor Books will attest to, and the proximity of some of the best beaches in Wales is also a major plus point. Aberaeron features some excellent bars and restaurants and the Cambrian Mountains just beyond Tregaron offer spectacular wilderness, forests and walking opportunities. We will be very sorry to leave, but sadly, family circumstances mean that we have to . Nevertheless, Gorsdalfa will always have a place in our hearts.
