Charming Cottage in the Gwaun valley, near Newport Sleeps 4

This sturdy cottage has one double bedroom, a traditional open fireplace, kitchen, bathroom. There is the possibility of the use of an attic bedroom with single beds (restricted headroom and requiring nimbleness on the stairs, more suitable for children.
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, one of the rare remaining areas of temperate rainforest in Britain, 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.

We have just had a great 10 night stay in the cottage and loved it's location. So much wildlife around and such a quirky cottage. So close and an easy drive to Newport beach and all the locals were incredibly friendly. We will definitely be back to stay again.

We had a wonderful time. Cwmllan feels back in time in the best way. Some reviewers seemed critical of the water pressure from the spring-fed water system but this didn't bother us much at all. It's a place to go slower, not to be rushing around! Lovely neighbours and beautiful surroundings. Wonderful choice of walks and a good old-school DVD collection for cosy rainy nights in. Highly recommended.

We had a very pleasant stay. Comfortable house with everything you may need. Difficult acces to the upstairroom. Single track road to get there.

We booked this lovely cottage because of the setting and because it was a traditional old cottage. We enjoyed our stay but the overall cleanliness was disappointing. Also the cold water pressure was very low so we couldn’t really bath or shower

We were meant to stay for a week, but stayed one night, emailed the landlady at 6.30am to say we were leaving, we found the property unacceptable, eg H&S issues, vermin, cleanliness standards, broken windows. To this end, she refunded part of what we had paid, we contact VRBO customer services, who were excellent in dealing with us, and we got a full refund.

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.

The cottage is situated on a wonderful location. Hidden in the green valley. It's a peaceful and quiet. Unfortunately, we soon discovered that the cottage is in a bad state. The windows and doors do not open. They are rotten in some places or sealed with tape. Only the front door works well. The supply of cold water is very low. There is not enough water for one person to shower. Let alone four! Due to the low water pressure, the washing machine does not work either. We knew that it would be a basic accommodation, but we did not know that it would be in such a bad state. It was also not really clean. Lots of cobwebs, spiders and dust. Very unfortunate, because the location in the valley is fantastic! The landscape is breathtakingly beautiful. The people are friendly and there are numerous hikes in the near surroundings.

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

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!

Romantisches kleine Häuschen in idyllischer Lage. Für große Menschen allerdings etwas beengt, der Leiteraufstieg ins obere Schlafzimmer ist eher für Kinder geeignet. Der strenge Geruch des Kamins im Wohnzimmer ist etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Bei gutem Wetter haben wir allerdings die Picknicarea im Garten voll ausgenutzt, deshalb war das egal. Wohltuende Stille nachts und schöne Ponys und Schafe direkt vor der Tür. Super Parkplatz fürs Auto. Das WLAN funktioniert meist nicht, was echt wohltuend war. Auch kein TV, man konnte sich mit den Kindern unterhalten und Pläne machen. Für uns war es deshalb ein schöner Urlaub in dem urigen Cottage. Wir wären gerne länger geblieben und würden auch wiederkommen.

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.

We enjoyed the rustic and quaint cottage in a beautiful and quiet location. Lots of things to do nearby and walks in the valley. We loved walking to Bessies for a couple of pints of Bass in the evenings.

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

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

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.
