This very comfortable and welcoming stone holiday cottage was once a pub. It enjoys a great location at the foot of Carningli (Mount of Angels) and is just half a mile from Newport. Newport/Trefdraeth has 2 beaches, excellent range of small shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs and a street market on Mondays.
Within a mile of the cottage is the Iron Bridge on the Nevern estuary (a bird sanctuary), the Pembrokeshire Coast path and Parrog beach.
This cottage has lots of interesting artwork and quirky features with sea glimpses from some rooms. There is a very pretty cottage garden with seating areas, a rope swing and wooden bridge over the pond.
Cardigan, Fishguard, St Davids and Haverfordwest are nearby. Poppit Sands, Pwllgwaelod, Cwm yr Eglwys and Ceibwr bay are all within 20 minutes’ drive.
Newport is a beautiful coastal town in Pembrokeshire, south west Wales lying on the River Nevern with a selection of shops, pubs, tea rooms, plus an excellent golf course overlooking the sea as well as a lovely sheltered harbour. Newport lies on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path which is renowned worldwide for its unique landscape and wonderful opportunities to go dolphin and seal spotting. Wonderful coastal walks along the path or in the nearby Preseli Hills with the ever changing scenery are a walkers dream all year round. Learn about history when you visit the mills, craft centres and castles dotted around the county or spend a day at the wonderful Castell Henllys Iron Age Fort where you can learn hands on all about living during that time. See the majestic Shire Horses at the Shire Horse Farm or spend relaxing days on the huge choice of beautiful sandy beaches. All year round this is a perfect location for all the family.

The location was stunning, with beautiful beaches and cliff walks every day. The mountain walks straight from the back gate were a highlight, especially early in the morning, or at sunset with the sheep and wild horses. The cottage is really comfortable and cosy, lovely sofas, lots of room for a larger family to be together or find their own space, lush gardens.

The home is comfortable and nicely laid out, with a great power shower and wood burners in the kitchen and sitting room and a generous supply of wood. We were very comfortable as a family of 7 with a dog - although the property would benefit from a second toilet. It's a great base, with Newport's pubs and shops a 10-minute walk away, the beach a 15-20 minute walk away, and we enjoyed a 40-minute trek up to Carn Ingli from the cottage. The owner's instruction manual is very helpful and welcoming, and there are lovely touches throughout. Overall the property is well stocked, however there is an insufficient amount of cutlery for a family of 7 (only 7 knives and 8 forks!) - which was odd and frustrating! We made use of the air dryer in the house as we were unable to put up the washing line in the garden (there is not a suitable hole for doing so) and the extractor in the bathroom did not work - so a little attention is needed in places to ensure everything works as intended, especially as the bathroom gets very damp and there is no tumble dryer. However, these are small frustrations in what was otherwise a very enjoyable stay.

There were none of these things . We were happy to take bath towels but we would expect these basic items to be provided as they are in other holiday properties . Also there was no wood provided in the basket as mentioned in the listing . We were unsure as to how much wood to take for the wood burner . On the whole we love this house , it is not fussy and it has a great garden . It is light and friendly. , easy to use . Itâs quiet . Good location . Great place for a family holiday by the sea .
