Pontrhydfendigaid is a small village in Mid Wales between Devil’s Bridge and Tregaron. The village lies on the edge of the Cambrian Mountains in beautiful countryside. It sits on the River Teifi and his home to a local shop and two nearby pubs, The Teifi Inn and The Hafod Hotel. Devil's Bridge has been a tourist attraction for centuries and was celebrated by author George Borrow who wrote Wild Wales in 1854. This famous bridge spans the Mynach, a tributary of the River Rheidol and is unique as it is actually three bridges in one, the original built around 1100, the second above this in 1753 and the third in 1903. The bridge is at a point where the River Mynach drops 90 metres (300 ft) in 5 steps down a steep and narrow ravine before it meets the River Rheidol. The set of stone steps leading down to the lowest bridge at the waterfall are known as Jacob's Ladder. The attraction offers viewing points and after the steep walk there is a hotel and cafe for refreshments. This whole area boasts stunning scenery and wildlife and is renowned for walking, cycling, fishing and bird watching as well as trips to the beautiful Cardigan Bay coastline with its wild cliffs and sandy beaches.

    Very clean and comfortable and Laurence and Julie are very welcoming and the hamper and freshly baked bread just makes this a very special stay. We would highly recommend this holiday nest you wont be disappointed and the view is amazing thankyou.

  • Gill

    We received a wonderful welcome when we arrived and we were early but that wasn’t a problem to Laurence or Julie. The welcome hamper was lovely and this extended to our dogs with their own little hamper of dog treats and more. They also left us provisions in the fridge ! milk cheese ham tomatoes etc . They really do think of everything. Due to Ben ( our dog ) injuring his leg before our holiday we couldn’t visit the places we planned , however we both agreed that if we had to be confined to base we couldn’t think of anywhere nicer to be. Thank you again Laurence and Julie we will be back next year when we can explore the area more. Gill & Ian

    ’ A beautiful cosy cabin in ideal location with fabulous views. Very well presented, very clean and well stocked for a small place. Had the most restful time, enjoyed our treat basket and so did our dogs. Highly recommend Kites Nest, we will be back.
