“Lovely hosts, wonderful location.”

Furniture and bedding are due an upgrade, which may be on the cards, but the place , hosts and location are all so lovely that would happily return

“Comfortable and well equipped cosy cottage although a little ‘tired’ and needing some updating.”

However this did not detract from our enjoyment of the cottage and surrounding area.

“Maengwyn was very comfortable, with good facilities.”

The garden - with a stream in the far top corner - was very peaceful and the hay meadow beyond was lovely. The walks listed in the handbook in the house were useful; I'd really recommend the walk through Aberfforest to Dinas cove- and then carry on to go around Dinas island. Maengwyn was a good spot for access to Newport, Fishguard and only about 30 mins to St David's, also, for 2 days, we did local walks which didn't require any car use. Thanks to the owners, Ann and Stephen, for providing additional local botanical information.

“Once we found the cottage (it's on the main road), it was absolutely brilliant.”

The hosts are wonderful, so welcoming, friendly and thoughtful. The cottage is exactly what you need with enough space for a group of 6 where you're not on top of each other. The kitchen is fully equipped and you can spend time just relaxing and chatting in comfort. A picturesque garden with apple trees and an orchard behind that the hosts are happy for you to stroll through. This is definitely a break from the stresses of life and a short walk to the beach. We would definitely go back.

“We had a fabulous long needed holiday.”

The cottage was superb, beautifully clean and the garden was great. Stunning. For the time of year we went it would have been nice if the grass had been mowed back to the summer house, but only a small ask. We didn't realise it was on a main road but this did not matter once we were inside. The owners were really helpful before and when we were on holiday. The local beaches are a good walk for small children, but a very short ride by car, much better when taking lots to the beach. We all would return, private beautiful holiday. Thank you so much to the owners.

“The owners were very welcoming and helpful.”

Nice to have tea and coffee, (plus loo roll) already there. Well, stocked kitchen with lots of tea pots and cafeterias Choice of nice walks from the property and the one to the beach past the waterfall was loverly, when the kids found this one, they went every day, even if we also went to another beach too.

The property

Maengwyn is a very welcoming detached farmhouse dating back to about 1820.

It's packed full of traditional features, quirky character, local art and crafts combined with all the modern comforts we know and love.

Set in the heart of the Pembrokeshire National Park just off the A487 between Dinas Cross (1/2 mile) and Newport (2 miles) with their individual shops, pubs and eateries, this is a perfect holiday base. The coastal path is just a 20 minute walk from the house, through a wooded valley with a high waterfall, to Aberfforest beach.

Part of one of the three organic hay and flower meadows to the rear of the garden has been planted with heritage apple trees.

You can wander freely through the mown meadow paths of each field and enjoy lovely coastal views of Newport Bay.

Bee hives, marsh orchids and shallow ponds mean that there is abundant wildlife in this semi-natural habitat.

The owners, who have lived here for 45 years, are happy to share their extensive knowledge of their land and the natural history of Pembrokeshire with their guests.

DINAS CROSS

Newport 2.5 miles.

Pwll Gwaelod and Cwm-Yr-Eglwys beaches are both minutes away, both with breathtaking scenery offering the opportunity for tranquil days in perfect settings, and are almost unnoticed by the general public unless they leave the main route through the village, with there being a petrol station, two pubs a fish and chip shop, as well as a restaurant down at Pwll Gwaelod beach. Nearby Newport is a quirky seaside town steeped in history, with various shops, tea rooms and pubs and is also a great place to go boating. With castles, mills, craft centres and golf courses galore scattered all over this beautiful Welsh county, this is the perfect base for a break all year round.
