Godremamog
Mill is centrally placed between Carmarthen (the oldest town in Wales) and
Cardigan, in West Wales. It's easy to tour Pembrokeshire,
Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion, using the Mill as your base - you can even
see two counties from your kitchen window! There is lots and lots to
do, whatever the weather - Families, walkers, birdwatchers, cyclists and
fishermen will all find plenty to do - click on Things

Staying
at Godremamog
Mill |
|
The
mill has a long history. It was built in 1885 and enjoys a truly outstanding position
in one of the finest rural areas of South West Wales. In a peaceful,
unspoiled environment, it nestles in a secluded beautiful valley surrounded
by woodland. The 'Mabinogion', the book of Welsh legends, records magical
events in the Cych valley and the enchantment of Godremamog add credence to
those legends. |

Godremamog
(which is Welsh for "at the end of the 'river' Mamog") was a working woollen mill until the
1930's when the demand for Welsh flannel began to decline. It was originally built
with two wheels, one to power the machinery and one to provide electricity.
Today only one wheel remains and it is a tribute to the skill of Cardigan
Engineering Co. that the wheel still turns as smoothly today as it did when
it was installed over one hundred years ago. |
The
valley is a haven of peace and tranquillity once more. The mill has been sympathetically converted
into four spacious, fully central heated, self-contained apartments.
It has been home to
Sam & Chris Hogarth since 2005 and the comfortable mill apartments are under their personal
care and attention. Three of the apartments can accommodate 1- 4
people and the other sleeps up to 3, so parties of up to 15 can be
accommodated. There is plenty of parking at the mill.
There are several
lovely walks from the mill itself and guests can enjoy watching the birds
that visit the mill, relax in the gardens or just watch the river flowing
by. Although Capel Iwan village is just up the hill, you can't see
another house from the mill, very few cars use the road through the valley
and the gardens are filled with the sound of birdsong and rushing water.
The River Cych is a Site of Special
Scientific Interest and the mill is surrounded by the most beautiful
scenery. A wide variety of birds, animals and aquatic life visit the
mill. Each month brings different flowers to the woods, hedgerows and
gardens. We try to minimise our impact on this lovely environment -
