“Comfortable, relaxing, well appointed cottage with very helpful owners.”
If you are looking for a remote cottage in a very rural location then this is the place for you. It is a reasonable drive to the nearest town along narrow windy lanes. The cottage is a good size, well equipped and recently refurbished at the time.
The internet was slow at times but fibre-optic cable has now reached the adjoining road so this will probably be remedied soon. There was no mobile phone coverage on our network but the owners were happy for us to make use of their landline to book local amenities.
The owners were very kind and helpful and knew a great deal about the local area. They were able to provide maps, guide books and other documentation to help make the most of your time there.
The cottage is located amongst actively farmed land but this did not cause us any problems in terms of noise, smell or access. There were cows in the field to one side and next to that the farmer had tractor operating but none of this caused us any trouble.
The whole environment around the cottage was very relaxing making it an ideal holiday destination. You will need transport to get to any of the local places of interest. Although it was busy at some of the more popular venues it was quieter than Cornwall at the same time of year.
Tregynon Cottages
Newport 4 miles. Situated down a short lane you will find these two charming holiday cottages (Foxglove Cottage and Honeysuckle Cottage), the owners’ home and the neighbouring farmhouse. Set in peaceful North Pembrokeshire countryside, above the Gwaun Valley, in the heart of the Pembrokeshire Coastal National Park and the foothills of the rolling Preseli Mountains, with their cultural and historic mysticism, the cottages offer great views and the chance to sit outside and soak them all up while watching the birds soar overhead and listening to the lambs in the fields. These are delightful stone cottages with walks from the door, perfectly located to enjoy this beautiful part of Wales with its extraordinarily rich wildlife, flora and fauna. Both cottages offer accommodation for four and each has two en-suite bedrooms, character beams and extremely comfortable accommodation, as well as a wonderful shared ‘planning and map room’ to plan your walks in. There is also a private drying room for outdoor clothing and walking boots. Remember too, the owner offers to guests discounted and exclusive guided walks, sightseeing days out and a great package of instructional modules to improve your safety and competence while out walking. The owners also offer free use of OS maps and local reference books and provide free advice on what to see and do in the local area. Located in such a scenic spot, you may wish to spend some of your holiday simply relaxing right here in these cosy cottages, but short drives offer ancient woodlands, the historic Castell Henllys Iron Age Fort, estuaries teaming with seabirds and the wonderful Shire Horse farm to see these superb animals at work. There are also walks on the stunning coastline, sandy beaches, boat trips and historic castles, as well as superb walks in the mystical Preseli Hills where time seems to stand still and which can be reached on foot from the cottages. There is so much to see and do nearby that one stay won’t be long enough, so a return visit may well be part of your plans!
