Trallwm Forest Cottages are beautifully situated self catering holiday properties in the heart of a working woodland deep in the Cambrian Mountains, Wales. If you are looking to escape a busy lifestyle, you cannot do much better than the peace of the Forest Cottages.

All the cottages lie within the Trallwm Estate at the head of the Gwesyn and Cynffiad valleys. Both of these mountain streams flow down to Builth Wells, 13 miles away, to join the Wye. Abergwsyn is the gateway to the spectacular mountain road to Tregaron and the coast.

Ramble through the woods or onto nearby moorland, fish in the streams and rivers, pony trek or use the mountain bike trails throughout the forest. You will see red kites, goldcrests, rarely a day passes without seeing a buzzard, but you will see very few people! Please note that all our cottages now have TV reception.
