Sycamore House is a picture-perfect, detached, three-storey cottage overlooking the Gwaun Valley in Pontfaen near Fishguard, Pembrokeshire.
Sycamore House enjoys a peaceful, rural spot within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, making for an ideal retreat for a family of 11 relaxing in this part of Wales.
The exterior of the cottage boasts beautiful stone walls, a red door and windows, whilst the interior retains original architecture, art by local artists and charming additions in each room; step into the hallway with its original quarry tiled flooring which leads you to the open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area.
The space is a lovely, rustic setting and well-equipped with enough seating for all guests to sit back and relax in front of the TV, as the designated chef rustles up a tasty fry-up in the kitchen, where a great range of appliances are at their disposal, from a microwave to a dishwasher!
For a big family meal, make use of the beautiful dining room with a large period dining table and chairs, before settling into the sitting room for a movie night by the wood burning stove; the neighbouring snug is a handy room with another TV to solve any movie disagreements.
On the ground-floor, you will also find a utility with a washing machine, iron and ironing board, as well as a large fridge/freezer to stock up for your stay.

A lovely double room and two twins are located on the first floor and share access to a spacious family bathroom, where you can enjoy a luxurious soak amongst the bubbles in the roll-top bath.
At the front of the cottage, there is an enclosed side garden with furniture to sit out on and enjoy the views of the valley, or just a few doors down sits Dyffryn Arms.
