Stay in Timeless Elegance

Gablebach step back into a tranquil period cottage reminiscent of a bygone era which offers a glimpse of times past. This lovingly restored 17th-century stable and grooms loft, has been carefully curated with vintage and antique furnishings to create a stylish boutique hideaway.
Y Golchdy once a traditional laundry room, has been transformed into a bespoke cabin offering panoramic views of the Black Mountain and featuring a private hot tub for ultimate relaxation. The cottage retains its original fireplace and exposed beams, creating a cozy, cottage-style ambiance. It boasts a handcrafted kitchen, a charming cabin bed, and a modern power shower. Guests can enjoy breakfast on the enclosed veranda or take in the scenery from old-style rocking chairs.
Discover the Beauty of Carmarthenshire

About Us
Ruth and Eirian are a Welsh couple; Eirian was born in Llangadog and Ruth was born in Cardiff. They have owned the smallholding since 2018 and Y Golchdy was originally a place to wash the weekly laundry and a renovation project for Ruth’s father, as a place to visit and stay and enjoy the countryside. Gablebach was originally a stable and hayloft, although the hayloft was renovated in 1987 as a groom's flat. Gablebach can be found on the census as far back as the 1600s as there were two cottages located next to the stables which were probably demolished in the 1970s. We retained the old original name as many of the properties in and around Llangadog have names dating back many centuries. The property remains a place of historical importance because of the Castell which was destroyed in 1209. We want to share our home and welcome visitors to stay in the beautiful Tywi Valley.
