Bwlchmelyn Farmhouse.......The Peaceful Retreat


 
Nestling in peaceful, picturesque countryside on the border of Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire,
contemporary meets olde worlde in this 19th century traditional Welsh farmhouse which offers
cosy, comfortable and relaxing 
Bed and Breakfast in stylish, yet slightly rustic, characterful
accommodation
amid an
oasis of
calm and tranquility with the added luxury of five star cuisine.
 
The Peaceful Retreat is set in 7 acres of tranquil and idyllic surroundings with ponds, landscaped
gardens, a bamboo gazebo, spanish style summerhouse with veranda and a multitude of
seating areas with interesting and far reaching views. We also offer plenty of secure parking.
 
Situated just outside Llanfallteg in an elevated aspect overlooking the valley in which the award
winning village is located, this boutique B&B lies in an unspoilt rural area surrounded by
beautiful rolling hills, stunning colourful landscape and is just a short drive from the
Preseli mountains and the charming market town of Narberth.

 
 
Walks from our door allow you to do a circular walk or follow the bridle path from our house to the village. 
From here the path continues along the River Taf. 
 
Along the way, you can call for a pint of real ale at
the local pub,
The Plash Inn,
Carmarthenshire
Pub of the Year 2012, which features
in 'The Good Beer Guide'
and
 
'The Hidden Places of Wales'.

 
 
 
Our rooms are all well appointed, luxuriously furnished and scrupulously clean
and offer either a King or Superking size bed with superbly comfortable
mattresses and pillows with the added comfort of Egyptian cotton bedding.
 They each have either an en suite or private bathroom providing
toiletries, soft fluffy towels, bath robes and slippers.
 


 
In your room you will also find fresh flowers and a welcome
trug of red, white or sparkling wine, fresh fruit, homemade 
Welsh cakes and truffles made with our own Sloe Gin.
Each room has a Flatscreen TV with Freeview/DVD, 
hairdryer, beverage tray and bottled water.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We also have an intimate Superior Suite, which is perfect
for a honeymoon or simply a romantic break in Wales. 
The bedroom is decked with colour washed wood in a relaxing 'Beach Hut' style, has a Superking size traditional
wooden bed with egyptian cotton bedding, elegant
soft furnishings and romantic lighting.


 
 
 
 
 
French doors lead on to a private balcony
with traditional wooden furniture and
affords stunning views over the beautiful grounds
and colourful gardens.


    
 
 
 
 
 
 
The en suite has a state of the art hydrojet steam shower with built in subdued lighting and radio.
It also offers a
spacious dressing room.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Derrick and Sarah James look forward to welcoming you to The Peaceful Retreat,
where your relaxation and privacy are of paramount importance to us.
Upon arrival, you will be greeted with a pot of tea or fresh coffee and some
homemade

At The Peaceful Retreat you can be assured of enjoying a relaxed and tranquil, 'home from home', health
farm and spa break, away from the stresses of our modern life.
Wake up at leisure in exclusive and unique surroundings and enjoy a banquet of home cooked welsh breakfast, freshly prepared from local produce and served at a time that suits you. 
Or try a slice of our freshly baked 'Toast & Marmalade' Cake with butter!   

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
You are welcome to relax and enjoy morning coffee in the lounge, outside in the gazebo overlooking a large pond which is home to a variety of wildlife, in the Japanese orchard which also has a pond stocked with fish or in the Spanish style summerhouse with sheltered decking. 
 
We will be happy to provide you with daily papers.


 

 
 
 
 
In the wintertime, you can also enjoy the comfort of relaxing in the lounge in front of the log burner. 
Afternoon teas are available with a choice of home made cakes including traditional Bara Brith, Welsh Cakes and Scones with homemade preserves & cream.
Or why not try our warm scones made with Welsh cheddar and homegrown leeks, served with Welsh 'brie' and homemade onion marmalade.
 
 
 
We have an outdoor Spa, a small gym and mountain bikes, all of which are available for your use. 
You may wish to take a gentle stroll along one of the many peaceful walks nearby or along
the
Pembrokeshire Coast Path from where you can
enjoy the stunning and breathtaking views.
 
You may wish to choose from our range of stress-beating treatments available in the comfort of your own room including Shiatzu, Reiki, hot stone and aromatherapy massage, reflexology, facials, manicures and pedicures.
 
The Peaceful Retreat is just fifteen minutes from the coast and is also surrounded by an abundance
of places of interest including local farms which produce everything from cheese to
chocolate and paintings to hand made crafts.
 
You are welcome to allow us to plan your perfect break for you. We will happily arrange each days agenda in
order for you to fully discover and explore the hidden treasures of this area of outstanding natural beauty.
From castles to boat trips, adventure days to pamper days and quirky olde worlde pubs to quiet,
secluded beaches which are only accessible by foot thus offering ultimate privacy, we will tailor
make a memorable, bespoke holiday to suit your own individual requirements. 
For days such as these you will be provided with a luxury homemade hamper.
A charge for these services will be applied.

 
 
However you decide to spend your well earned
summer or winter break, to complete your 
day a choice of delicious homecooked evening
meals are always available for you to enjoy.

 
 
 
The combination of the cuisine, the elegance of the surroundings and the warmth of the
hospitality means that one of the most beautiful places to dine, relax
 and stay in Wales is undoubtedly.....
