Nestled on a south-facing hillside just two miles from the beaches of Abermawr and Aberbach, Hen Ffermdy (Old Farmhouse) is a beautifully restored traditional Welsh farmhouse offering the perfect blend of comfort, nature, and heritage. Over the years, the house has been lovingly renovated from a derelict state, along with the restoration of the old mill pond and surrounding gardens, creating a peaceful sanctuary for both guests and local wildlife.
Hen Ffermdy is not just a home but a haven for wildlife. A thousand trees have been planted around the property, creating a **wooded landscape of glades** that guests are encouraged to explore. The recently reinstated millpond and fledgling woodland provide a peaceful oasis for nature lovers.
Wildlife enthusiasts will be delighted by the rich biodiversity here, with regular sightings of Barn Owls, Swallows, Buzzards, Emperor dragonflies, and Hummingbird Hawk Moths. The property is also within 10 minutes' walking distance of two Sites of Special Scientific Interest, offering even more opportunities to connect with nature.
Just a short stroll down the hill, via a stunning National Trust woodland walk, you’ll find two spectacular beaches – Abermawr and Aberbach. Whether you’re looking to swim, watch for seals and seabirds, or simply relax on the sand, these unspoiled coastal spots provide a perfect retreat by the sea.
At Hen Ffermdy, there is plenty of space to walk, reflect, and unwind, making it the ideal destination for those seeking a balance of comfort, tranquility, and adventure.
