Hollywood Cottage

Click a picture to see a larger view.

Hollywood cottage, or to use its proper Welsh name Llwyncelyn ('Klooinkelin'), is a secluded 18^th century cottage in the Cambrian Mountains of Mid Wales. It sits next to the river in the upper reaches of the steep-sided Twrch valley, nestled amongst woodland, fields and wetlands.

The cottage has an open plan living/dining area with exposed beams, wooden parquet floor, comfy sofas, wood-burning stove and inglenook fireplace. There is also a colour TV with Satellite (no Sky card), DVD player, DVDs, stereo and extensive range of literature on the local history, flora and fauna.

The beamed kitchen has a quarry-tile floor and fitted pine cupboards. It is equipped with electric oven, fridge with freezer box, toaster, kettle, microwave and full cutlery and crockery sets. The bath/shower room is off the hall next to the kitchen.

A stone spiral staircase leads off the living room to the single, open plan bedroom upstairs. This has fitted cupboards, double bed, more comfy chairs, A-framed ceiling and colour TV. This is definitely my favourite room in the cottage. I’ve really tried to make the most of the light up here with a couple of skylights and by keeping all of the colours very pale. This really emphasises the textures and character in the beams and makes it a warm, airy bed/sitting room to relax in even in the depths of winter.

Well that’s a quick introduction to our little hide-away in the hills. I know you’ll get as much pleasure from staying there as we have over the years and we look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours,

Andrew and Lisa

Other Information

Directions and keysafe combination will be sent with the booking confirmation.

Everything is included in the price - no hidden extras:

• Electricity, heating, logs and hot water costs are all included in the rental fee (oil-fired central heating and wood burning stove), up to £1 a day for electric and £5 a day for oil.
• Bed linen, towels and dishcloths are provided.
• There is a fully stocked kitchen with full crockery and cutlery sets and a range of pots and pans

Pets are welcome – I just ask that you keep them off the furniture and, as the cottage is surrounded by farmland, keep them under strict control outside the boundaries of the cottage.

Full recycling facilities are available for glass, plastic, tins and compost.

The stone staircase is quite steep so might not be suitable for the infirm or very young.

A telephone is available for making both incoming and outgoing calls. The cost of any calls you make are not included in the rental fee; these will come out of your security deposit. There is a mobile phone signal for O2, and intermittent signal for Orange and Vodaphone (guaranteed by a short walk up the hill). You are welcome to plug your laptop in for dial-up Internet and as my main business is as a computer consultant I could even look at any problems you are having with your computer whilst you are staying at the cottage! The cost of the Internet calls will be taken from your deposit.
