Capel Bach Farm, Peniel, Carmarthen. SA32 7AG
Unwind in Wales !... Clear your Mind ...Fill your Heart!
Croeso Cynnes Cymraeg i Bawb! - A Warm Welsh Welcome to Everyone!
This 19th century stone milking parlour has been converted to a high standard to offer bright and airy accommodation for up to 4 adults in a farmyard setting overlooking the farm's own 25 acres of rolling countryside which hosts red kites and buzzards.
Award winning and Visit Wales 5 star graded, the cottage has everything you need for your perfect relaxing break. With a flexible bed layout and fully equipped kitchen the cottage is a self contained property nestling in a grassy low wide valley, rural yet not isolated, and is easily reached from the end of the M4 for the ideal getaway.
Take advantage of the sun trap patio to sit and watch wildlife and cattle and sheep in the fields, dine outside, breathe in the clean Carmarthenshire air, enjoy the rural tranquility, watch the stars sitting around the firepit, or get out and about and explore Wales.
Red Kite Cottage is located just 1 mile from the village of Peniel on the A485 Carmarthen to Lampeter road.
Peniel is just 3 miles from the centre of Carmarthen town. It is the oldest town in Wales and dates back to Roman time, and boasts many a tale about Merlin the Wizard. It lies on the banks of the River Towy, home to the Coracle fishermen, and it can be followed all the way upstream to its source above Llandovery and down to the sea at the charming Llansteffan with its beaches and Castle just 12 miles away.

Cows and sheep graze many of the fields surrounding the cottage throughout the year
Dairy cows , usually in calf, and their young calves graze the fields throughout the summer months, during which the fields are managed to grow grass for silage for winter feed, when the cattle are moved in to sheds.
You may be able to watch the farmers use their machinery to cut and harvest the forage depending on when the crop is ready and at its best nutrient level.
During cooler months most of the surrounding fields are home to sheep and of course the gamboling lambs in spring, within the bounds of snowdrop & daffodil strewn hedgerows.
Throughout the year the hedgerows are an every changing tableau of wild flowers.

REVIEWS
Ryan - September 2024 (Airbnb)
Night 3 & 4 of a 7 day motorbike tour of Wales -
Probably the best place we stayed all trip, Nicola was extremely friendly and welcoming, we didn’t want for anything and anything we needed was sorted quickly for us. We had route recommendations for our ride the next day, food recommendations, house rules, and a tour on arrival.
It was very clean, cosy and warm. The beds were extremely comfy and all 3 of us had the best nights sleep of the entire trip.
When I needed to work on my bike Nicola quickly got us some tools that we were missing and we could do the work quickly.
The highlight has to be Maisie and Rico (Staffys)
I fell in love with them straight away and Maisie didn’t leave me alone (which is a good thing)
Will definitely be returning, mainly to see the dogs again but also Red Kite Cottage is a perfect base and a beautiful location for a relaxing stay.
Don’t go anywhere else if this is on your shortlist. You won’t be disappointed.
Hazel - January 2024 (Airbnb)
Beautiful, peaceful location. Cottage is gorgeous and well equiped. Bed was super comfortable. Nicola is a lovely host. Helpful, friendly and a great sense of humour, we enjoyed our chats. She also has great knowledge of Carmarthenshire and the surrounding areas. I would return to this cottage in a heartbeat!
Chandrika- August 2023 (Airbnb)
We stayed for 3 days and we had a lovely time, great views, clean air and the cottage was lovely and homely going down to basics which is perfect when you want to get away from the hustle and bustle.
