“Carnorfa is just a lovely cottage to stay in.”

It’s been very thoughtfully furnished, has high quality fixtures and fittings, comfy beds and good showers - just what you need for a great holiday. Thank you for allowing us to share your delightful property. We didn’t use a big supermarket because Newport has very good independent shops as well as a number of places to eat. Beaches are close nearby and there are plenty of things to do in the area. We would be very happy to book Carnorfa again and hope to return sometime.

“We had a fabulous stay in Carnorfa.”

The location of the property was amazing, just off the Main Street in Newport. Ideal for the pubs, shops and the lovely walks. One parking space is provided outside the property which was really convenient. The house was gorgeous and had everything we needed for our stay. Decor was gorgeous, beds comfy, small courtyard garden too which was safe and secure for our dogs. I would highly recommend this property and will definitely be returning. Christmas was perfect here! Xx

“3rd stay at Carnofa.”

Great location, 2 mins to town, 10mins to harbour beach. Warm, very comfortable, spacious, a real home from home for us & the dog. Thanks for a lovely place to stay. Back soon.

- Stephen, October 2025
Rhian September 2025

“Lovely stay at Carnorfa, close to local amenities and walking distance to the Parrog.”

The house has been renovated and has lovely exposed Stonework in the bedroom and hallway which adds real character, with a modern airy kitchen and comfortable lounge space. We were only 2 but there were 3 showers split over 3 floors. It was a lovely relaxing stay in beautiful Pembrokeshire.

- Rhian, September 2025

“Our second visit to this delightful property.”

Everything we needed was provided.

Anne August 2025

“We enjoyed our stay at this comfortable cottage.”

It was larger than expected and was great for 4 adults, 1 child and a dog. The snug came in useful for dog along with adult to spend quiet time away from others. We did find it a bit noisy at night with traffic noise and pub turn out as it was warm and we had windows open. Lovely area of Wales and fairly quiet considering it was school holidays.

- Anne, August 2025

Richard October 2024

“Superb, we’ve been coming to wales for 20 years and Carnorfa is one of the best we have ever stayed at, would definitely recommend E & R.”

- Richard, October 2024
Carol September 2024

“A repeat booking, so hopefully that tells something about how much we like this house!”

Dog friendly, comfy beds, well equipped kitchen, great location. (My only issue, as a shortish person is the VERY high kitchen cabinets, and high heating thermostat, so chair-climbing is required)

- Carol, September 2024
Jacqueline September 2024

“Excellent property and facilities.”

Comfortable beds, could work the tv (often a problem in holiday homes) No complaints other the key safe was stiff and difficult to open. Sure that is easily resolved.

- Jacqueline, September 2024
Adele August 2024

“A great place to stay, very comfortable and spacious.”

We would definitely recommend it, we stayed with three teenagers and our Labrador and had lots of room.

- Adele, August 2024
Caroline July 2024

“A beautiful, clean and well equipped home in a wonderful location.”

The house is sympathetically decorated with plenty of room for parents along with older children. Lovely comfortable beds and plenty of bathroom space too. I'm rather jealous of the kitchen! Our first time in Pembrokeshire, Newport was a great find with wonderful local produce including a fantastic butchers and great restaurants. We wiil be returning.

- Caroline, July 2024
Howard June 2024

“Superb property in a great location.”

Close to walks on the coast path for the dog. Shops, watering holes and cafes/restaurants a stroll away. It was a little warm for Cassy in the top room occasionally a summer quilt would help eliminate this. Great location for visits out, we went out to:Strumble head,Cardigan,Fishguard,Dinas Cross, Pembroke,Tenby,Saunders Foot and Milford Haven. To relax on return in the lovely power shower of the top room was magic. We will return.

- Howard, June 2024
Rita May 2024

“Lovely cottage, clean, well presented , absolutely everything you need , would recommend for an enjoyable holiday in Newport.”

Enjoyed meals at the Golden Lion and the Castle Inn, pizza from The Canteen was also very good.

- Rita, May 2024

“Ideally located.”

House was comfortable,clean and well equipped.

- Pamela, April 2024
Anne April 2024

“What a lovely house, even though the photos are inviting, they do not do the house justice.”

There is plenty of space and three seating areas. Newport is very attractive too with a walk down to Parrog or along the estuary only 10 minutes away. You can walk to Newport Sands too in around 3/4 hour.

- Anne, April 2024
Simon March 2024

“Fantastic cottage in a wonderful location close to some great pubs/restaurants/beaches and golf course!”

Ceri December 2023

“Carnorfa was a lovely, warm and comfortable town house.”

There was a lovely tree put in for the Christmas week. A welcome pack on arrival. A small issue with the heating on arrival was dealt with very quickly in a friendly and professional manner by everyone. The location was ideal - central Newport and close to all amenities. A nice walk to the beach. Highly recommended.

- Ceri, December 2023
Stephen October 2023

“Lovely cottage with modern bathrooms and kitchen.”

Would definitely come back. Only thing is the back door is down a flight of stone steps which isn’t mentioned in the particulars of the property and should be as some people could find it difficult otherwise lovely clean property. Would recommend to friends

- Stephen, October 2023
Pippa September 2023

“Carnorfa is a super house and we had a great week in Newport.”

The owners have thought of everything, it is so well equipped (it even has a wine fridge!!!) and makes for a lovely home from home. The crisp white sheets and fluffy towels feel very luxurious and it was spotlessly clean when we arrived. We will definitely be back, thank you.

- Pippa, September 2023
Emily July 2023

“We had a lovely stay.”

The cottage is very clean and comfortable and had lovely artwork. Newport is a great town and there is lots to do nearby.

Keeley June 2023

“A wonderful cottage, very spacious and comfortable, and in a great location!”

The owner was very friendly and helpful when I phoned with a query. We had a very pleasant break, and hope to stay again.

- Keeley, June 2023
Ed March 2023

“What a great house in a fantastic location.”

Newport is great with the beach nearby and walks behind the house up into the mountains. The house is large and had everything that we needed. Cracking new kitchen and two fantastic showers too. So handy being able to park outside too as a lot of the older houses in Newport don't have parking. Would certainly stay there again.

- Ed, March 2023
Claire March 2023

“Excellent accommodation in a perfect location.”

Everything in Newport was within easy walking distance. Also a great base to explore. The house had everything that you could need for a self catering holiday (including a microwave :). A fabulous fully equipped kitchen and 3 bathrooms.

- Claire, March 2023
Fran February 2023

“Lovely property in ideal location for Newport and surrounding areas.”

Clean, comfortable , warm and beautifully decorated. Well resourced kitchen with lovely equipment, (disappointingly no microwave, it would be worth changing the listing as we brought microwave meals). The welcome pack was a lovely touch especially the Welsh cakes. We very much enjoyed our break and would hope to return in the future. Thank you for letting your lovely house. Diolch.

- Fran, February 2023

So pleased you enjoyed your stay. We have an integrated microwave - the top oven is a microwave and the bottom oven is a conventional fan oven. I'm so sorry this wasn't clear and we'll label the ovens for future guests. Thank you for your feedback which is helpful. Property Owner
Craig October 2022

“We had a lovely stay and really enjoyed it.”

The location is so ideal because the beach and shops and pubs and within walking distance. The family bathroom shower was so nice. I want one like that.

- Craig, October 2022
Graham September 2022

“A great property, very centrally located to the centre of Newport and with (nearly) everything you could need.”

A footstool in the living room would have been great for relaxing and although the wooden floors and stairs looked lovely you could hear every footstep even when people were walking on other floors. I would stay here again, however, I would need to carefully consider any property offered by this agency due to the check in and out times as it feels like you are only getting 6 days holiday.

- Graham, September 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We have provided a footstool and amended the check in and out times following a relaxation in Covid restrictions Property Owner
Catherine July 2022

“Canorfa is a beautiful immaculately kept cottage, right in the centre of Newport.”

The welcome pack of Welsh cakes, eggs, butter and milk was a lovely surprise. This cottage has everything you need for your holiday, including a private parking space right outside. I would highly recommend a visit to Canorfa.

- Catherine, July 2022
Elizabeth June 2022

“This was an amazing house in an amazing Pembrokeshire town.”

We fell in love with Newport and this wonderful house that happily accommodated five adults of differing generations and a dog, without anyone feeling short of space. Such a special place. I cannot wait to return… I only have superlatives for Carnorfen. Outstanding stay.

- Elizabeth, June 2022
Louise May 2022

“Really well presented property, comfortable & homely.”

We had all that we required for a short stay. The only things that might make us think twice about rebooking are the road noise & the limited outside space. Overall a fab stay.

- Louise, May 2022
Ajeet April 2022

“Carnorfa is a lovely cottage ideally located near the centre of the village with quick access to shops and pubs.”

It's bit like a Tardis, looks small from the outside but very roomy inside. Basement has a bathroom with full bath and a small living room with TV. The entrance floor has the well equipped kitchen with a washing machine and separate dryer and a dishwasher. A large cooker with all the pots and pans you may need and a coffee machine. Pleasantly surprised by the welcome back - butter, bread, milk, etc. The fresh bread was fantastic! The living room had two sofas and an arm chair and a gas fire. The TV was a smart TV. Upstairs was a bathroom with a nice tub and a separate shower and two bedrooms. The top floor had sky lights with views to the sea additional seating and another shower room and a very comfortable bed. All the showers were pressure showers apart from the one in the basement which was electric. The street is a little narrow but there is enough space to park your car but remember to place the bin in the space when you go anywhere. Near by there are a few pubs - we tried them all and all had something different. Don't forget to try the cellar bar! We were there in early April and not everything is open all week at that time so make the most of going out from Thursday to Sunday. Day trip to St David's is a must along with was walk along the coastal path there. Stunning scenery awaits you!. Allow about 2 hours for the walk which is mostly flat except towards the end. Overall, Carnorfa is an ideal place to stay at and the property is modern and well looked after and equipped with the everything that is of high quality. You get what you pay for!

- Ajeet, April 2022
Neil March 2022

“Fabulous cottage.”

Really comfortable, lovely and clean, spacious and in a great location. The main bedroom is stunning with great views and a very comfortable bed. There's a very well stocked kitchen and lovely to have welsh cakes waiting for us. The lounge was also very cosy. We've stayed in Newport 3 times now and this was by far the best accommodation.

- Neil, March 2022
Paul October 2021

“The location is spot on.”

There are good pubs, restaurants, cafes and shops all within 5 mins walk. The beach at Parrog is 10/15 mins walk. the main beach can be walked to in 30 mins or driven to in 10 mins. the town has a nice feel to it and there are plenty of places within short a drive or bus journey (bus stop five mins from house) to visit. The house itself has everything you might need for a good holiday. It was clean and, generally, comfortable. the heating system is good and relatively easy to use. The beds were fine, however, in October they could do with heavier duvet's, not the summer ones provided. The lounge furnishings were adequate although not the most comfortable. Parking space a massive bonus. Happy to recommend.

- Paul, October 2021
Rebecca September 2021

“The cottage was absolutely perfect for us.”

My bridal party stayed the night before my wedding and it was comfortable and spacious enough for us all. The location was perfect to my wedding venue which was about 10-15 minutes away.

- Rebecca, September 2021
Jim June 2021

“Good location and spacious.”

We found the cottage catered to our needs and having a private parking space was an added bonus. Welcome pack of bread, milk, eggs etc was a nice gesture.

- Jim, June 2021
Sarah May 2021

“The cottage was in a great location and offered everything we needed for our stay.”

It was lovely to have fresh milk, eggs, bread and butter left for us on arrival.

- Sarah, May 2021
Duncan April 2021

“The property was amazing, well finished, interestingly converted, cosy finish without being cluttered, and a parking space.”

That is very valuable in Newport as there are not many available!

- Duncan, April 2021
Susan September 2020

“Beautiful cottage in lovely area.”

Everything was provided for comfort and the property is really spacious. The only drawback for us is that being elderly we found the bedrooms cold and the duvets were clearly summer weight. We did follow the instructions but could not get the central heating on to take the chill of the bedrooms. Fortunately for us the weather did warm up a bit and we gradually got used to things. Otherwise the holiday was lovely
