About this property
A superb semi-detached cottage near Newcastle Emlyn, set on a working livestock farm in peaceful and picturesque countryside. The smaller of the two cottages on site, but of the same extremely high standard, this quality Newcastle Emlyn cottage boasts a very well-equipped kitchen, and lovely French doors leading you into the spacious sitting area and dining area where relaxing family times can be had by all. Two wonderful double bedrooms have character beams and one has a rather unique doorway leading out onto the original stone barn steps. With one en-suite and two further bathrooms, this wonderful cottage is perfect for all the family. Relax on the paved area outside to enjoy quiet drinks or meals with just birdsong, the lowing of the cows and often just absolute quiet. A cottage of the highest quality in this beautiful part of Wales. Note: This cottage can be booked with Ref. 16579, together they sleep 13.

Felt us feel welcome and gave us great recommendations on visiting the local area. Would 100% recommend and will be visiting again in the future. The accommodation was just spectacular for a home from home week away. Thank you Mr and Mrs Evans! Love the Burton and Maskery family and of course little Molly xx

Mr. and Mrs. Evans and family were friendly, helpful and we left the farm feeling we had made new friends. We spent time with the cows and pigs which was fantastic. We had a very enjoyable stay and will be back.
