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.

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.

Beautiful setting and so comfortable. Very peaceful and the hosts are extremely accommodating. I particularly liked the way the kitchen /diner/lounge worked and the master bedroom is lovely with very comfortable beds. It is located well for lots of great walks and visits to lots of places. We had a really great 5 days and so did our two dogs.

Ideal, we could walk the dog from the premises. If visiting Pembrokeshire again, we wouldn't hesitate to come back to Bwthyn Bach
