Open Doors - Pontbrenmydyr National Trust Cottage, Aberaeron

This is one of the last surviving Welsh Cloms, a 17th-century mud constructed cottage. It has been carefully restored with a modern twist, and is now a one-bedroom retreat brimming with character. Its preserved vernacular details include original cow stalls, cobbled stone floors and smoke-blackened oak trusses, while modern technologies such as the biomass pellet boiler and solar panels have been added to create a sustainable and comfortable stay.

Everyone is welcome to visit one of the free public open days to explore the house and learn a little more.
