A cosy cottage for 5 at the foothills of the Preseli Mountains

This converted barn, tucked away at the foot of Carningli Mountain is a quirky, delightful bolthole to escape the pressure of every day life.

The ground floor comprises a well equipped kitchen, ground floor bathroom with its deep claw foot tub, beautiful light and airy living room that leads out to the garden and two ground floor bedrooms.

The first floor is a wonderful large king size bedroom with huge windows overlooking the countryside and the hills beyond.

Outside is a secure garden and patio area overlooking the fields, with outdoor dining furniture, BBQ firepit for those long summer evenings.

Penrhiw Fach is just outside the very popular market town of Newport with it’s wealth of independent shops, restaurants, and pubs. Close to The world famous Pembrokeshire Coast Path, Preseli Hills and beautiful sandy beaches and pebbled coves.

Dogs are always welcome at Penrhiw Fach, but please be mindful of the local farm animals that surround the property.

Fantastic location
A lovely few days away in a great location. Town of Newport just a few mins drive away and the nearby beach provided a great walk for all of use, including our dog. Our rating is based on the following points which are important to note when booking. The garden is not secure as described. This meant we were unable to let our dog into the garden without a lead. This was a little frustrating as we had specifically booked a cottage with a secure garden with the dog in mind. Whilst the cottage is cosy, there is insufficient seating in the living area if everyone who is staying wants to sit on a comfortable seat. If there are three of you it’s great!. The lack of a visitors book meant that it took us some time to fathom the log burner and cooker. And the lack of fire irons made having a fire somewhat tricky. Overall a lovely stay which would be five stars if the points above are addressed.

Lovely views, lovely building
Quirky but lovely converted barn with gorgeous views from huge windows in living room. Comfortable bed and well-equipped. kitchen. Our only criticism was that the property had clearly been empty for some time and it took about 36 hours for the underfloor heating to get the air temperature up to an acceptable level. Despite emailing the cottage company for assistance (it was freezing outside) we heard nothing!

Beautiful place and location - Loved it!!
We travel often on short breaks when we are back in the UK and 'Penrhiw Fach' is one of the most beautiful places we have stayed in - such attention to detail, from the unique decor to natural bathroom products...just gorgeous. It was so peaceful and cozy, great views, and had everything we needed - we love to cook and the house had the-best equipped kitchen! Rural, yet still only 6 minute drive to Newport (and not far to drive to other towns and beaches), lovely places to eat and drink, and the beach nearby, so our dog loved it too! Great walks/hikes, within range of the property. And, the light pollution is minimum, seeing such star-filled nights was truly magical. We'd love to enjoy the place in the summer months, too, so we will definitely be back. Thank you hosts, Will and Lou - you have made a really beautiful place 🙏 Helen, Jason and Dexter Dog
