GRANARY LOFTS CARDIGAN

Granary warehouse is one of a pair of listed wharfside warehouses that stand as monuments to Cardigan’s rich maritime history. Built as storehouses around 1745 by brothers Thomas and John Davies, they served the local shipping industry with a sail making loft in the bridge warehouse and a foundry at granary warehouse.

The building has now been entirely restored to heritage standards and the interior rebuilt to create 6 beautiful lofts, combining a contemporary sensibility with traditional craftsmanship and quality of materials.

Furnishings are a mixture of the traditional, the new and the well worn; textures and furnishings working together to create a relaxing timeless character. enquiries: 01239 623633

Beauty in how it looks and how it feels, Beauty in what we do, what we make, what we sell. We care.

In the early 19th century Cardigan was reputed to have over 60 recognised ale houses .

In 1850 there were over 50 licenced premises as well as a considerable number of what were locally called 'smwglins'; secret, hidden, unlicenced and notorious places where beer was brewed and sold and trade in smuggled wines, spirits and other goods carried on‌

Tafarn Smwglin sits in its own courtyard on the Teifi wharfside at Cambrian Quay, on the ground floor of an eighteenth century warehouse, once sail-lofts and chandlery and who-knows-what.

Nowadays we have a license for our fine selection of welsh beers and spirits and have smuggled in some non-welsh drinks too.

Dubious trade still persists, but the trade is in the stories of the size of the fish, the glory of the try, and the day it didn't rain.

Open 6-11pm on Thursday, Friday, Saturday July & August @smwglin
