Follow the half mile lane down to the 18th century Georgian mansion, set amongst woodlands and gardens, providing a haven of rural seclusion in this beautiful part of Cardigan Bay. Stay in one of our sumptuous centrally heated rooms, with idyllic views of the Welsh countryside from every window. Whilst the house retains many of the original features and quirks, the bedrooms have been decorated to reflect influences of  female myths and legends from around the world. You can witness the power of the Yoruban Goddess Oya, or stay a while in the colourful world of the Indian Goddess Parvati. Nefertiti was one of the most powerful and stunningly beautiful Queens of ancient Egypt, pamper yourself with opulence fit for a Queen. For the ultimate experience, book the Fuji suite where Japanese minimalist splendour and the jaw dropping view from the round window is yours to marvel at. See the 'Rooms' page for more information.

 For that romantic getaway, getting in touch with nature or just getting away from the hustle and bustle, Over the Rainbow is the place to be.... Set in eighteen acres of woodland and meadow, the 'twitchers' amongst you can experience the rare red kite in flight and the hoot of the resident barn owls. Foxes and badgers roam the woods after dark, as well as bats and other nocturnal wildlife.  Here you can watch the stars and listen to the silence.

At Over the Rainbow our speciality is the alternative; a vegetarian guest house, run by women primarily for women. We are 'straight friendly' - everyone will enjoy a warm welcome. The place where you can be .......

For those who want a more active holiday, the Ceredigion heritage coastline can easily be explored on foot or by bicycle. Bikes can be hired locally from New Image Bicycles. We can provide you with local walking or cycling maps, and a picnic for the day, enabling you to take in the sights at your own pace.  

This is also a perfect base for visiting the recently restored National Trust property Llanerchaeron; the colourful seaside town of Aberaeron; Devil's Bridge; the Rainforest and Butterfly Centre, Cenarth Falls, the Welsh Wildlife Centre at Cilgerran, or the many public gardens, antique shops, galleries and craft centres in this peaceful coastal county.

The beaches of Cardigan Bay are famous for visiting bottle-nosed dolphins, porpoises and seals. Over the Rainbow is a few minutes away from several blue flag beaches including Poppit Sands or Tresaith where you can enjoy a lovely pub meal and watch for dolphins at the friendly and popular Ship Inn. There are coastal walks along the Pembrokeshire coast path or  the Ceredigion coast path, walks which take you to delightful National Trust beaches at Mwnt, Penbryn and Llangrannog.
