Vendor Interview:
We fell in love with Penlon as soon as we walked through the door. We love the wood panelling and the shelving and have not made any changes, only enhancements.
Penlon was originally two cottages and we believe the older part dates back to the mid 18th century. The end part is probably 100 years younger. We have been told that the house was a lodge providing accommodation for clerics visiting the nearby church, which is famous as a place of pilgrimage. The house in more recent years was home to a well known local artist who was responsible for the conversion to which you see today. We enjoy living in a house with a bit of history.
We have been very happy in the village of Llanddewi. The setting is beautiful under Foelallt mountain. The neighbours are brilliant and the village pub is always welcoming. There are some good dog walks and we are close to the larger towns of Tregaron and Lampeter.
We would recommend this village to anyone, peace and quiet but without remoteness.
