The Old Cow Shed Region: Wales Sleeps: 6 The Old Cow Shed Region: Wales Sleeps: 6 Overview So many of us dream about converting an old barn, cow shed or farm building into our dream home and at The Old Cow Shed you can experience just that! Located in a small town directly by the Sea, just 70 km north from Aberystwyth, this beautiful holiday home is sure to inspire you! Surrounded by the luscious Welsh countryside, the cottage offers up a cosy sophisticated feel, with comfortable and tasteful furnishings throughout its four rooms. Sleeping six guests, the cottage is perfect for a family getaway: spending some quality time together in beautiful surroundings. The architecture of the building forms a single-storey U-shape, creating a tranquil courtyard at the centre of the cottage where you can enjoy all the outdoor privacy you desire. A large dining table and chairs are arranged in the courtyard, perfect for sunny celebrations, firing up the barbecue and filling the countryside with your laughter. Glass doors, lined up along the façade of the cottage, create a continuous connection between the cosy interior and bright exterior, so you can meander in and out as you choose. These doors flood the interior spaces with light, creating vibrant living spaces for you to appreciate. Inside, the whole layout is open plan, yet as the rooms wrap around the U- shape, they each have their own section, adding invisible barriers between each space. Starting at the end, the lounge is tucked into the corner of the building, with a vast window looking out upon the emerald fields and a large corner sofa facing in, so you can snuggle up and watch some TV. A fantastic modern egg-shaped wood burner sits between the lounge and adjacent dining area, bringing cosy comfort to both spaces. The dining area itself is bright and airy, with a table to seat eight, and views out to the courtyard. There is also a generous galley kitchen, with plenty of room for you to cook all the family favourites and located next to the dining space, no one is ever left cooking alone. The largest of the bedrooms offers doors out to the courtyard, with its own en- suite and a luxurious double bed, a good night sleep is guaranteed. There is a further double room and a twin room that share a family bathroom. This charming holiday cottage is the perfect blend of style and comfort, creating a faultless opportunity to enjoy what’s most important, family.

  • The Railway Series Books by the Rev'd Wilbert V Awdry
    The Awdry Connection with the Talyllyn Railway. The Rev. Wilbert Awdry inherited an interest in railways from his father, the Rev. Vere Awdry, and together with his brother George, became a keen railway modeller. His first book in what was to become “The Railway Series” had been published in 1945, and by 1951 he had written four more. In February that year, someone knowing his interests, sent him an article which had appeared in the Birmingham Mail entitled “EIGHT MILES OF RAILWAY TO PLAY WITH – AND REAL TRAINS - FOR £1 A YEAR”. That railway was the Talyllyn Railway, and Wilbert’s interest was aroused sufficiently to apply for membership of the newly formed Preservation Society: his receipt was numbered 79. Coincidentally, Wilbert had a distant cousin Frank who lived in Tywyn. They had never met, but Wilbert and George had visited Frank’s sisters in Clevedon, Somerset, and had heard stories about the ‘somewhat wayward little railway’ in Tywyn. In August 1952 Wilbert, together with his wife Margaret, son Christopher and daughters Veronica and Hilary, visited the Talyllyn Railway for the first time. On arrival, Wilbert and Christopher went straight to Wharf Station to introduce themselves to Tom Rolt, the General Manager. Wilbert volunteered to do duty as a Guard during the second week of his holiday. The most memorable incident of the week was when he left the Refreshment Lady behind in the Booking Office at Abergynolwyn – the first of many events that Wilbert was to enshrine in future books. It was almost inevitable that, having become a regular visitor and volunteer on the Talyllyn Railway, Wilbert should find a way to write about it in his books.

Testimonial: ‘Jules and Jo, and all at Welsh Property Services were simply amazing when buying a property from them. We met Jules when first viewing the property, and although not meeting her again before completion - we live 5 hours away - it felt like we were mak- ing this big purchase through a friend! Their communication was fantastic, it was regular, prompt, proactive and clear, and when Jules wasn't available Jo seamlessly stepped in - dream team! In addition, they went above and beyond anything I've even experienced, or even expect, from an estate agents, in the way they sup- ported the sale transaction and making sure the property was in a good state for when we were arriving post completion, and went out of their way to coordinate tradesman for us.
