Charming Cottage, near Newport

This sturdy cottage has one double bedroom, a traditional open fireplace, kitchen, bathroom and an upstairs bedroom with single beds (restricted headroom and requiring nimbleness for access by sturdy ladder stairs with handrail.) Its quirky character is part of the cottage's charm - suitable to holidaymakers keen on simple living.
Fully furnished, with a video for DVDs, Washing machine, Fridge, Electric cooker, and Broadband internet. There is a parking area for 2 cars opposite the cottage.
Situated in the unrivalled Gwaun Valley, the cottage is backed by steep-sided oak clad valleyside, and a bubbling stream flows beside the property. Secluded garden with hanging line, seats, table and barbecue. Very quiet, protected and peaceful, with pubs about 1 mile in either direction (one of them well known: 'Bessie's') beaches including Newport Sands, 3-5 miles, legendary Pembrokeshire coastal walks, fishing, fresh water and sea. For active living, or just enjoying your leisure, it makes for an unforgettable holiday experience.
Beside the Pembrokeshire National Park, and in a protected site of Special Scientific Interest, the Gwaun Valley abounds in wildlife and interesting insects. A small and beautiful river flows down the valley, with Brown Trout. On blowy days, the valley tends to be warmer than upland areas.

Fabulous Cottage, Stunning Location
We had a marvellous fortnight at Cwmllan, a cosy cottage in a beautiful wooded valley not far from the coast. Fabulous footpaths, stunning scenery, cracking coastpaths and a cosy cottage to come home to at the end of the day. It was so lovely to fine somewhere so unpretentious and homely. There are lots of great walks from the cottage, including of course the stroll to 'Bessies' - walking back under a full moon without the need for a torch was grand. So much variety in North Pembrokesire was a real surprise - walks included woods (Ty Canol wood was amazing), moor, common, hills, riverside, beaches and rugged coastpath. We'd love to return and are very grateful to Heather and Phil for sharing their beautiful cottage with us - and for the welcome pack - Thank you!

Location is amazing, but there is a big issue with the water pressure.
Location is amazing, tranquil and very green near beautiful beaches. The beds are very cosy. Kitchen is well furbished. I didn't give it a 5 star rating because there is a big problem with the water pressure. We were unable to shower. Some days there was not enough cold water coming out of the shower (l boiling shower) and other days no hot water so unable to get a warm temperature all week. Not enough water for 4 people. But we managed twice to get a quick cold shower. It is a real shame because everything else was nice.

Very very Basic .
The location is lovely but quite far away from everything. Bedding and bedroom clean and comfortable. Kitchen equipment ok . Had everything we needed . Stairs , A death trap !! Very dangerous! .Cold water taps very low water pressure, only runs at a trickle. Practically impossible to have a decent shower . Some windows didn’t close properly others broken . Had a few mice 🐁 visiting! . Needs low doorway warning signs ! And desperately in need of decorating. Effervescent and mould on walls . Clothes felt damp even in July ! . Would be nice to have an aerial for Tv . Hard to get hold of dvd’s these days. Internet very slow . This cottage could be so much better with some TLC

Lovely cottage in beautiful location
Cwmllan is an old cottage with a lot of character. It is simple and old fashioned but has everything you need. It's the perfect place to get away from it all and unwind. The road is very quiet and the valley is incredibly beautiful, full of insects and birds and woodland flowers (in spring). I didn't want to leave.

Rural idyll
a beautiful little cottage in an idyllic location. if you like peace and quiet it's a great spot. for 2 the accommodation worked perfectly, you'd need to be nimble to use the 2nd bedroom as stairs are steep and head height limited. Basic but had everything we needed for getting away from it all

Lovely quiet location
The cottage is in the Gwaun valley which is beautiful and ever so quiet. It's easy to get to the local beaches. The cottage is quite spacious compared to some, you could potentially fit more people the 4 and the garden is nice

Lovely Cottage
Cwmllan is in an idyllic location, peace and quiet is a certainty, the cottage backs into woods and passing traffic is minimal. It’s a very traditional country cottage, low doorways and thick walls, we felt at home straight away. It’s not for someone who wants a modern property or has any mobility issues but we really enjoyed our stay, it’s well located for exploring North Pembrokeshire and Cwm Gwaun itself is full of good walks.

an unspoilt, authentic traditional welsh cottage
This property was exactly what we expected of a traditional old welsh cottage, with many lovely features, the open fire the narrow stairs the quiet location, simple unfitted kitchen and simple furnishings. all wonderfully in sympathy with the property. The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. However we felt that the price of renting the cottage did not reflect the size of the property and that the basic and simple style of the furnishings and fittings was not reflected in what we felt was a high cost.

A super quaint detatched cottage, with loads of charm!
We loved the authentic style of the cottage. The beds were comfy and clean and towels are provided. There are all mod cons including electric heating, gas cooker, microwave, washing machine, satellite tv, a selection of dvds and wifi(!) The old ingelnook fireplace is absolutely lovely. Everything you need was there, plenty cutlery, plates, pots and pans etc - even coffee and tea! The original cottage appears to have been extended several times and so has a quirky charm, with lots of original features. The location is quite isolated with only occasional cars, passing walkers, cyclists and farm vehicles. However it is only about 15 minutes drive from Fishguard. The bubbling stream next to the house is very quaint. If modern and newly renovated is your thing look elsewhere though. The steps to the upstairs bedroom are quite steep and not very straight, but perfectly serviceable. The tiny door to the upstairs bedroom is charming- although probably not suitable for the elderly, or very young children. Having said that, other than the upstairs bedroom everything else is on the ground floor. We had a really lovely stay, explored the area every day and enjoyed a cosy roaring fire every evening. We also enjoyed sitting in the garden. A great holiday in a very quaint cottage, we absolutely loved it and were very sad to leave!

Peace and quiet galore!
Cwmllan is probably my favourite holiday home ever - the cottage has lots of character and charm, and sits in a most beautiful location in the Cwm Gwaun valley: green all around, very little traffic going past, with only the sound of running water to illustrate how quiet it is. It's the perfect base for anyone who loves walking, wildlife, sketching & drawing, seclusion, nature unspoiled by artificial lights or noises. A week is not really enough to explore all the beautiful nearby places so we intend to come back next year.

Real country cottage in a quiet valley with parking for two cars and can sleep 4 adults and two kids
In my view a great old untouched cottage with some small updates like hot running water electric heating and wifi washing machine,cooker,fridge,microwave and DVD player. Great location for visiting all the coasts in good time because of no traffic lights or traffic and terrific scenery all at a fantastic price in peace and tranquility with a lovely sun trap side garden and beautiful walks straight out the front door . Nearest town Fishguard 3 to 4 miles away so 6mins in the car for all your essentials. Loved it. Tony Glen, Nana and Amber from romford Essex.

Our stay in CWMLLAN cottage
The cottage had enormous charm and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It is a very old property, so the decor is what you would expect in an old cottage. It was isolated from modern day living so it provided a great break from pressures of the modern world. The owner has a local person to come in and prepare the cottage but no one called (except to leave welsh cakes before we arrived.) Fortunately we did not have any problems, It would have been good to know who to contact if there had been any problems.

Wonderful rural cottage, which my whole family enjoyed.
We had a wonderful time in the cottage, my 3 year old loved the “hobbit” like door to her room. Waking up each day to the beautiful views and the sheep in the fields was a special treat. Heather couldn’t do enough to help us, and we would recommend the place to anyone wanting to escape the rat race for a while.

Cottage very well situated for exploring Cwm Gwaun Valley, Preseli Hills and coastal areas around Fishguard with excellent walks directly from the cottage. Equipped with everything we needed and welsh cakes and milk on arrival a bonus.
