  • "We had a lovely time and really enjoyed staying at Dinas Farm."

    Thank you

    Many thanks. Property Owner

    Ms Catherine TurbettJun 2025

  • "What a lovely place with friendly people."

    Walking distance of a beach and pub. Amazing views. Just what we were looking for.

    Thank you so much and we hope to see you back soon! Property Owner

    Ms Tamzin EalesJun 2025

  • "Lovely place in a lovely location."

    We appreciated the fact that, despite living next door, the owner mainly just left us in peace to enjoy our holiday. The only minor niggle is that we never managed to work out how to control the central heating!

    Mr Alexander MonroSep 2024

  • "Overall a Lovely situation and very peaceful place to stay."

    Ignore the satnav as this takes you down a tiny road that is playing Russian Roulette with any traffic. Use the directions as given by the site. Beach and coastal path was unspoilt. Good stopping off point to take day visits to local towns and shopping. Internet has a good speed and unsecured. Dogs need to be kept on a lead outside of the house. Beds soft and warm. This is a working farm. Was 4 star 16 years ago and now shows signs of being rather tired. Washing lines available and adjoining garden. Power shower needs to be left to run before adjusting as it takes time to warm up and then gets hotter (fine for anyone with patience and understanding of fluid heat transfer in a powershower). Plenty of Towels provided. TV, Fridge and small freezer provided. shortcomings: Washing up machine still had chicken and olives in the bottom of the machine from previous users - no tablets provided (I had to clean the filter and previous users not used tablets so plates etc not properly clean! - we brought our own tablets and cleaning kit.). Bathroom taps need update or maintenance as cold tap needs to be carefully turned off or it will be left running by children. Mould in shower cubicle and bathroom outside wall needs attention. Hot water takes time to arrive at kitchen sink but very hot on arrival. Hot chocolate powder provided was three years out of B.B. date! Sugar bowl was left empty except for encrusted with tea hardened sugar crystals. Sofas and seats need to be replaced as they are all with collapsed seating needing cushions but fine if you can play about with said cushions and you don't have back issues. summary: We loved it because for us it is you could expect with less spiders for this part of the world in an old farm house conversion and in this price bracket and was better than others we have stayed at. Large master bedroom with bunk beds next door. Need a good condition car to drive up the hills, or 4x4.

    Mr Roderick MarshallAug 2024

  • "Cottage needs a very good deep clean."

    Shower is dangerous either stone cold or scalding! First cottage I have been to with Sykes where there were not any condiments or cleaning materials, probably why it is so dirty. Fantastic location, pity the cottage let the holiday down….wouldnt go back to this cottage!

    Mr Kevin WellingJun 2024

  • "The cottage is in a beautiful spot within walking distance of two lovely beaches."

    The people who run it are very friendly. However, we were disappointed with the condition of the property which is not reflected accurately in the photos on the website. The fixtures and fittings have clearly not been updated for a long time and the property was only surface clean.

    Mrs Amanda GreenwoodAug 2023

  • "Comfortable, no-frills accommodation."

    Fine as a base for a few days from which to explore the local area. Proprietor friendly and helpful.

The property

Dinas Island Cottage is a semi-detached National Trust-owned farmhouse situated in a sheltered position on Dinas Island (actually a prominent headland) and is part of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.

The farmhouse offers peace, seclusion and is perfectly located on a working sheep farm in north Pembrokeshire.

The traditional slate front opens into a large hallway that leads you through to the comfortable lounge with a log burning stove.

As you continue, you will find the well-equipped original farm kitchen with its traditional low open-beamed ceiling.

On the second floor, you will find one master double bedroom, a bunk bedroom and the family bathroom with a bath, shower, WC and wash hand basin, all enjoying views over the pasture and farmyard.

At the front of the property, you will find a patio area with garden furniture, and to the side and rear, you will find a large lawn area.

The lawn area is shared with the owners, but please note that the owners very rarely use it as they are working the farm, and all pets must be kept on a lead.

A short walk from the property will grant you access to the Pembrokeshire coast path as well as Pwllgwaelod and Cwm yr Eglwys beaches.

A short drive will bring you to Dinas Cross village and Newport, where you will find a selection of pubs, shops, galleries and eateries.

For all of this and so much more, make sure you pick Dinas Island Cottage as your next destination!

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £75.

DINAS CROSS

Newport 2.5 miles.

The village of Dinas Cross has a well stocked grocery shop, two pubs, a fish and chip shop and lies between the Preseli Hills and the Pembrokeshire coast. Cwm-yr-Eglwys and Pwllgwaelod beaches are both short walks away and the three-mile walk around Dinas Head accessed from either beach is one of the finest walks in Wales. Both beaches are ideal for swimming, sailing, kayaking and paddleboarding. Newport three miles away at the estuary of the river Nevern is a bustling old town with vast beaches and lies at the foot of the mystical mountain Carn Ingli. Fishguard, five miles away is an historic old fishing village on the estuary of the river Gwaun and has many amenities including a cinema, leisure centre and a vibrant music scene which has three festivals devoted to folk, classical and jazz music. Further away is the market town of Cardigan to the north and the historic city of St Davids to the south with its magnificent cathedral and many eating places. There are many good cafes and restaurants in Newport and Fishguard and excellent local produce available at the weekly street market in Newport.
