So when I came across this cottage today, it instantly took me back to that very place.
Although it’s not in the same location, this one is actually in Llanwrthwl, Wales, it bears many similarities. Tucked away on a quiet Welsh hillside, the four-bedroom farmhouse known as Bwlch Coch has a timeless, storybook quality. The core of the house dates back to the 17th century, though some elements are thought to be far older, reaching back around 700 years. Step inside and the history is impossible to miss: oak panels in the living room are believed to have once belonged to a ship, and a broad inglenook fireplace anchors the home, a reminder of centuries of warmth and gathering.
The renovation has been carried out with care, highlighting the original character while ensuring it’s a warm and welcoming place to be (with a hint of modern too – keep an eye out for the pendants and art photography!), surrounded by beautiful hills.
The perfect retreat to get us in the mood for the weekend!
Was there anything that stood out to you about this charming Welsh cottage?
I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing in my love for exploring beautiful homes.
