A bit of history.
Ty Cefn Tregib has been the home of the Evans family for more than 30 years, since John and Mary Evans bought a collection of farm buildings, formerly the home farm buildings of Tregib Mansion, and later used as a groundsmen's depot for Tregib School, from the local council, and started the epic task of bringing the old buildings and the land back to life.
Living in a caravan on site, the first task was to convert the lovely old threshing barn into a spacious family home, followed a couple of years later by turning the cart shed to a separate holiday cottage and later converting the old pigsties.
The children all left home and Mary decided that all those spare bedrooms needed using. Thus started the beginning of Ty Cefn Tregib B&B
Twenty five years on, all the children are back in the immediate vicinity with their own lives and partners, and Ty Cefn Tregib has evolved into our unique B&B and self catering business.
