In Wales' green heart, where ancient valleys lie,
The rolling hills and rivers carve the land,
Beneath the brooding, ever-changing sky,
Nature's majestic beauty stands so grand.

The whispers of the wind through verdant trees,
Sing tales of times long past, of ancient lore,
Of druids' chants and songs upon the breeze,
In harmony with waves upon the shore.

The fields, where sheep in bleating vigil graze,
Stretch wide and far, a patchwork quilt of green,
While twilight casts its soft, enchanting haze,
Transforming every hill to mystic scene.

In rural Wales, a peaceful life we find,
Where nature's touch brings solace to the mind.

WOW! 🐬🌊🐬🌊🐬

If you've ever wanted to see dolphins in the wild, then New Quay is the place to go, and its only 35 minutes from us. This video of them playing alongside the dolphin spotting trip boat is amazing! You can take your dog on the boat too!

Our only remaining summer availability is 20 July for 3 nights or 13 August for 7 nights, (*update* 13-20 Aug now reserved) so get booking if you want the chance to see this for yourself!

Babbling Brook behind the scenes…

As soon as each guest checks out we spring into action and the first job is to 🪣 empty, 🧽 clean and🚰 refill the hot tub as it takes a good few hours to get back up to temperature.

We get on it as soon as we can, so it’s as warm as possible if we have guests arriving on the same day as others have departed. 14 minutes to empty it with the big pump and an hour to refill from our spring water borehole. 💦










(but no dogs in the hot tub!)

We have only 1 week available before the schools break up at the end of July and Wales gets super busy with holiday makers, so check your calendar and see if 20-27 July works for you and come visit us! If you fancy a short break, then we only have 12-15 July available.

Here are some pics of the newly refreshed cottage.
Hope we see you soon!

A bit of shopping in Lampeter wouldn’t be complete for us without a stop at the Mulberry Bush for lunch.

Well worth a visit, if not for the delicious salads but for the yummy range of ‘full fat’, vegan and gluten free cakes!

Well after some thorough 'consumer testing' on our part while we were closed for the new roof to be constructed, we are pleased to report that the new hot tub is GORGEOUS!!

Sit and watch the sun set from inside the spa, sipping a drink, while the dappled evening light plays on the water. Just perfect!!

While the guys put the slates back on the front of the roof, we are up the scaffold chipping out all the old mortar and repointing the gable end wall. Hopefully we’ll finish by the time the roof is done and the scaffolding comes down!
Tomorrow we strip the other side of the roof. 😁

It’s roof time!

We are now closed for a month to re-roof the cottage. Day 1 and we’ve got half the slates off the front side until rain stopped play.
Once the rain (finally) stops this morning we’ll be stripping the rest of that side.

We love meeting the huge variety of people who come to stay at Babbling Brook Cottage, and we try to make it a home from home, with everything you might need for a relaxing stay. People tell us regularly that we are getting it right with lovely reviews in our guestbook, but occasionally they leave us thoughtful gifts too. Here are a few we have received very recently…

🌱 A pretty herb planter with seeds. We are excitedly checking for plants every morning!

📕 A wonderful kids book by a Welsh author who is helping children appreciate their differences. You can read it on your next stay!

🕯️A beautiful blown glass driftwood candle holder purchased in Lampeter, made by a local artist.

We truly appreciate everyone’s kind comments and gifts - thank you 🙏🏼

After two weeks of hard graft we are pleased to report that the lane and yard are now (pretty much) finished!

It took 85 tons of recycled sub-base and lots of hours on the digger, dumper and roller but we are now happy with our efforts.

It’s certainly waaay better than the bone-shaking experience it was before!! Today’s arrivals will be the first to test the smoooooothness. 😄

There isn’t much to see in this video except the early morning lights from Lampeter in the distance, but you can enjoy the sound of one of our close neighbours, who we’ve nicknamed Jools. 10 points if you can say why!
