Y Felin at Coed Cadw
Description
Newport 2.8 miles, Cardigan 9.0 miles, Fishguard 10.0 miles.
Tucked away in rural Pembrokeshire, in Felindre Farchog near Newport, is this fabulous, detached cottage, Y Felin at Coed Cadw.
Providing a family of four rustic yet stylish accommodation, the cottage is within easy reach of an array of Pembrokeshire's walking trails, picturesque towns and beaches.
After parking in one of three convenient off-road spaces, head inside the dwelling to be welcomed by rustic, exposed beams, stone flooring and bespoke, wooden doors throughout.
Wander down the steps to find a charming sitting room, where a wood burning stove gives the room a warm and welcoming glow, as you settle down on the leather sofas to spend quality time with your loved ones; grab a book or a DVD for some entertainment!
Make your way over to the kitchen, a place where the chef of the group can rustle up delectable dishes in style, thanks to the neatly tucked away, under-the-counter appliances, along with a vaulted ceiling that is framed by exposed beams, adding to the character of the property.
When dinner is served, gather at the dining table and crack open a bottle of wine to make a toast to this brilliant retreat.
Wander up the spiral, bespoke staircase where you will discover a tastefully furnished double and its own en-suite cloakroom.
Continue downstairs to discover a twin room that also enjoys access to the garden and is situated close to the family bathroom, where sleek tiling and a p-shaped bath with shower over await.
Savour a spot of alfresco dining in the rear garden, with its barbecue and two seating areas, before soaking up amongst the bubbles in your own hot tub; where you can take in your gorgeous surroundings as you relax your muscles.
If you'd prefer a meal out, a 5 minute walk will take you to the excellent Salutation Inn.
The owner has provided fishing permits for the River Nevern.
The town of Newport is just a short drive away and beholds a boat club, stunning beach, golf course and Pembrokeshire Coast Path for you to make the most of, before treating yourself to some retail therapy in the town's boutique shops or to a mouthwatering meal at one of the eateries dotted throughout.
Venture north east to discover Cardigan, where you can stroll along the River Teifi with a furry friend, tour the bustling Cardigan Guildhall Market, and explore the 12th century Cardigan Castle.
Pembrokeshire is home to many more sights to see, including the towns of Haverfordwest and Fishguard, along with the stunning Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, where you can explore the wonders of St. Brides Bay.
For your next adventure in Pembrokeshire, look no further than Y Felin at Coed Cadw.

What guests are saying
Chris and Leslie were the perfect hosts.
Chris advised us where to visit, sorted any minor problems immediately and was fun to be with. We will return.
The quality of the accommodation, the lovely environment in which it is located, were only exceeded by the warmth of the welcome and the comprehensive briefing we received from the owner.
Thanks Simon for the review and kind comments. Coast to coast I’m glad it was worthwhile
Foil for the cooker would be great.
Saves on washing up.
Haha. Easily fixed and simple ideas like this are very welcome. Silver foil is now available. Thank you.
All as advertised.
Extremely hospitable owners and lovely cottage. We would have no hesitation in recommending this holiday home to anyone looking to explore this part of Pembrokeshire. Highlights - super clean and quality accommodation. Attentive hosts. Great hot tub with clear view of the Milky Way on clear nights!!
Hi Nogel, many thanks for the 5:5 score. We have dark sky’s here and on clear night pick the stars out of the sky from the hot-tub is a great pastime.
Our hosts, Lesley and Chris, were more than helpful: they were friendly.
Chris explained all the operations in the property when we arrived and answered all our questions succinctly. It's a beautifully appointed house and garden with really everything you might need for a successful self-catering holiday. It's also a quick walk down the hill from the 'Salutation Inn' which serves excellent food and drink.
Hi Stephen, so glad you and the family had a great stay with us and enjoy Europe’s largest cultural festival The Eisteddfod. Best regards. Chris.
We had a really wonderful stay.
Our hosts were friendly and very accommodating. Having the jacuzzi was a real boon and we used it every day - superb. We would go again. Thank you.
Hi Angie, the hot-tub is a great feature, we never get to use it other than in the winter as it’s always booked for visitors. Looking forward to seeing you next year, and thanks for the top score. Regards Chris
Very well equipped property with beautiful peaceful gardens.
Comfortable beds, lovely hot tub, good WiFi. Handy for Cardigan and Fishguard and exploring the coast. Would stay again if we wished to revisit this area.
The property is beautiful and full of character.
The outside spaces are perfectly maintained giving us a lovely countryside view when eating our breakfast outside most mornings. Our hosts, Chris and Lesley, were very friendly and suggested places of interest for us to visit. Along with a welcome pack which included amazing Welsh cakes, Chris and Lesley gave us a box of duck eggs from the resident ducks that live at the property. Our trip was very relaxing and even the weather was kind to us! Thank you.
Hi Steve. Many thanks for the score and feedback. Great to hear that you and the family had such a good time. We somethings forget the luxurious taste of the eggs our ducks provide during the spring and summer months. All the best and thanks for visiting us Chris
Well-situated and well-equipped cottage with a pretty garden area.
It made a good base for exploring this part of Pembrokeshire, being close to the sea, hills and places of interest. Newport is a lovely little town, with good pubs and eateries: booking is recommended. The cottage was rather cold, though. The underfloor heating wasn't detectable and the upstairs bedroom was particularly chilly. We needed to light the log-burner every evening so it was necessary to buy logs and kindling. It is very close to a main road, but the traffic noise wasn't a problem for us.
Hi Yvonne, thanks for the feedback, but disappointed with the score as you mention the cottage was spotlessly clean and facilities great. What was also surprising is that we are just across the yard and the offer to speak to us about any problems was made on day one. Had you asked the underfloor heating could have easily been increased for you.
Y Felin is a beautiful place to stay in a picturesque countryside setting, just a short drive from the extensive beach at Newport - which we and our dogs loved!
We spent 6 nights here, and were lucky enough to have fabulous weather, which meant we could fully enjoy the lovely gardens with flowers, bees, birds and simple peace and quiet, to keep us company. Owners Chris & Lesley were most welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed from the moment we arrived. Property is very well equipped and cared for. Overall a delightful choice of stay - would highly recommend.
Hi Suzanne, thanks for your feedback and comments. We’re so glad you found peace and quiet whilst enjoying the beaches, walks and Y Felin. We look forward to your return
We were met at the property by Chris and Lesley who showed us around and were lovely hosts throughout our stay.
The property is set in magnificent surroundings and is well appointed with plenty of facilities for your four legged friends! The area is truly stunning and we would have no problem recommending to our friends and family and in the words of the Terminator - “I’ll be back!”
Hi Patrick, glad you enjoyed Y Felin. We are so luckily to have such a location with the sea and beaches so close and the hills for walking and views behind. Then thousands of years of history and great food. Thanks for maintaining our 5:5 score.
We had really lovely stay in this beautiful, peaceful and picturesque setting, with loads of wildlife, as well as the sheep and ducks.
The cottage was delightful and very clean and had everything you might need, with a really warm welcome. There is so much to do in the area and everyone was so warm and friendly.
Top marks in all ways.
Chris and Lesley are delightful hosts who have put a lot of careful thought and planning into the cottage to make it a lovely place to stay. Their friendly help was available if needed and they were full of good suggestions of places to visit, explore and eat. We ran out of time to do them all but the ones we tried were thoroughly good recommendations. We are planning to return and would highly recommend this delightful cottage in a superb location.
Hi Roger, Great to have you both here and delighted you had such a good stay. Look forward to seeing you back next year. Cheers. chris
So pleased with the cottage, spotlessly clean, everything you need, jacuzzi was a great asset.
Beds so comfortable. Lovely hosts, couldn’t do enough to make our stay so pleasant. Would definitely recommend, and go back ourselves.
Hi Gareth. So glad you booked with us and Y Felin. Great to have you here for such a happy stay. Look forward to your return visit. Regards. Chris
What a charming place to stay.
Very well thought out and attention to detail is second to none. It is a lovely location/base to explore Pembrokeshire with local beaches just a short drive away. Chris and Lesley were fantastic hosts, very friendly and welcoming and have thought of everything to help make your stay as comfortable as possible. They have a wealth of knowledge about the surrounding area, with plenty of suggestions on where to visit and eat. We loved the hot tub it’s a nice touch and a charging point for the car a bonus. I would highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to go back in the future.
Hi Karen, Lee. Thank you for your feedback and the lovely comments. It’s great to see guests enjoy Y Felin and our beautiful surroundings of the costal National Park with the Preselli hills to the South and coast all around. See you again soon. Chris
We absolutely loved our stay here!
It's a really lovely location and everything was perfect. Chris couldn't have been a better host, even helping me with some car troubles early on in the trip! If you're looking for a place in the welsh countryside with stunning beaches close at hand, look no further - we would recommend this place with no hesitation! :)
Thank you Paul for the lovely comments and feedback. It was great to have you both here with the dogs. Look forward to seeing you again next year.
We had a wonderful family stay at Y Felin and Chis and Lesley were very attentive host’s.
The property itself was very comfortable and it had everything you could want and more. There was lots to see in the local area. We will definitely be returning.
Hi Jamie, glad to hear you had great stay, Look forward to seeing you both this year. Cheers. Chris.
Just returned from a fantastic break.
The property was amazing and even better than the pictures, a truly wonderful spot. The hosts were so helpful and on hand to provide interesting facts about the area and provided us with plenty of information to explore the coastline and walks. We will definitely plan to come back. Thank you
We had a brilliant time at Coed Cadw, the hosts were really welcoming and the cottage was beautiful and clean.
Having access to the field for the dogs was amazing too. Lots to do in the nearby area too!
A very well run cottage rental, also with owners living nearby and very helpful.
Good cottage in a good location in a great area with lots to do in all weathers.
This place is just beautiful.
So well kept and so clean. First holiday with our new puppy and could not be happier as made to feel so welcome. The owners are lovely and cannot do enough to make you're holiday the best it could possibly be. The hot tub is a nice touch too, stargazing at night!
Hi Colin, Having young Jack here at Y Felin was a delight and glad you all had such a great time. Thanks for coming from so far away to visit. We look forward to your return. Regards. chris
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Y Felin.
The hosts Chris and Lesley were so lovely and helpful. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The cottage is set in a very peaceful location with lovely scenery. It is in a good position that many tourist attractions are only a short drive away. We would definitely go back and would stay for longer next time. I would highly recommend this cottage.
Lovely, quirky cottage, very clean on arrival, nice welcome pack.
Owners live on same land and are very helpful, but discreet Beautiful grounds to sit out and have your drinks and food. Good local pub 5 minutes walk away. Would definitely recommend.
Hi Tony. Delighted to hear you and your family enjoyed your stay here. We’re so fortunate to have this beautiful part of Pembrokeshire and share that with guests. Thank you for the perfect score and look forward to your return. Regards Chris
Lovely cottage.
Very enjoyable stay with very helpful and welcoming hosts - cottage has all you need. Location is good - can access lots of nearby places via a short drive. Great beach very close too.
Hi Lorraine, thanks for feedback and 5/5 score. It really helps for new visitors to see what others have enjoyed and experienced. Glad your family had a good time. We look forward to your return next year.. Diolch Chris.
We absolutely loved this property!
It was everything described, and more. Incredibly comfortable and spotlessly clean. The cottage is peaceful and surrounded by green fields, with the added bonus of a hot tub, perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life as well as a great location. The owner, Chris, was extremely attentive and very friendly, always ready to help if we needed anything. We highly recommend this property and would love to come back again!
A wonderful place to stay.
Well equipped and comfortable. The outdoor space is beautiful and the hot tub is a bonus. Within easy drving distance of Newport, which is a lovely town with lots of places to eat and drink. I highly recommend Y Felin. Many thanks to Lesley and Chris who are welcoming and excellent hosts. Our dog didn't want to leave!
Ralf your dog, and your family are welcome back anytime. Thanks for the feedback and perfect score. We’re delighted you all enjoyed it so much here and our beautiful national park.
A wonderful place to stay immaculate and very comfortable.
The owners are very friendly and always on hand. We had a great time exploring and coming back to the jacuzzi. We highly recommend this holiday home and will be back next year
Hi Terry, thanks for the feedback and glad you both found Y Felin so relaxing. Look forward to your return next year. Kind regards. Chris
We could not have asked for more - relaxing, comfortable, well equipped, great hosts.
Will definitely return.
Hi Les, thank you very much for the perfect score. Both Lesley and I enjoyed having you at Y Felin. Look forward to seeing you both again this year. All the best.
Lovely cottage equipped with everything you need.
Comfy beds, lovely area to explore, and great hosts. The hot tub is a bonus and was enjoyed by all. Beautiful part of Wales - hope to be back. Many thanks !
Hi Vikki, Thanks for the feedback. We are so luckily to live here and be able to share the surroundings. Lesley and I look forward to your return.
This is a beautiful and comfortable cottage for families.
Chris and Lesley, the owners, are amazing hosts and made our stay very special, allowing our boys to help with the ducks and pointing us in the right direction of local entertainment. We loved spending evenings in the hot tub and sitting by the fire pit and the location of the cottage puts you in a brilliant position to visit all the lovely coastal towns and their gorgeous beaches. We will definitely be back!
Hi Kirsten, thank you for your kind comments and feedback. We really appreciate the score you gave as a reflection of the standards we strive to maintain. We’re delight your stay was so enjoyable and look forward to your return visit.
Immaculate Accommodation very accommodating and sensitive hosts that are there if you need them and not if you don’t that will act immediately if anything is required.
The little extras inside the beautiful & tastefully restored Mill makes staying here so easy such as simply things like kitchen roll and washing up liquid (even though there are ALL the mod cons required dish washer etc) Hot tub is amazing (but DO ask if they can switch the really annoying flashing fairy lights OFF) …when in the Hot Tub there is road noise but soon forgotten as relaxation kicks in… Great pubs near by also it’s in a really good location to get everywhere and anywhere. Thank you for a very special stay.
Hi Kestrel, Thanks for the feedback. Great to see you had a brilliant stay. I’ve added the fairy light switch instructions to the hot tub walkthrough
Wow wow wow wow wow.
We had an incredible short break here. The property is absolutely beautiful. It has everything you could need. Cosiness off the scale. Perfect place to come to and relax. The owners are lovely people also and couldn’t have been more accommodating. Highlighted good places for us to go and to eat. Offered to light the fire for us and turn the lights on if we were to be arriving in the dark. We were lucky that the fields had no livestock which meant we could walk our dog in the fields, knowing that they are secure. Despite this though there is plenty space next to the cottage for the dog to be walked in the morning and evening. Will definitely stay again. Would recommend to anyone. Also perfect location to visit the area as centrally located.
Hi Emily, delighted you both enjoyed Y Felin and the small holding. See you next year. Diolch. Chris and Lesley
Thank you Chris and Lesley for such a wonderful few days in this amazing cottage!
It was magical and we loved the hot tub and log fire! The cottage had everything we needed and Chris was so helpful with letting us know where to go for the best Sunday lunch, the best walks with our labrador and was welcoming and friendly. This area of Wales had a magical charm and our family will definitely be back! Thank you for everything! Love The Clark-Atkins Clan xxxx
A blind in the kitchen would be nice.
The lounge could benefit from some artwork on walls .It did not feel as homely as it could. We were made to feel very welcome, great hosts, and we loved the area very much. SUPER SUPER COTTAGE.
We had the most amazing 3 nights spent here.
The cottage was outstanding with everything you need and the fields situated right next to the cottage was perfect for our dog. Best place we’ve stayed and will certainly be coming back. Chris was very attentive whilst offering you peace and privacy. Thanks again Alex, Lucy and Bruno
Chris and Lesley have a beautiful holiday cottage, it has everything we needed for our stay I highly recommend it, the cottage and its location Is perfect.
All facilities as listed.
Beautiful cottage inside & out. Lesley & Chris are very friendly and will assist with any advice / issues straight away. Low light pollution ideal for stargazing (from the hot tub if you like). If taking dogs, they must have good recall (ours do) as the garden is not enclosed. This is made clear of course. Highly recommended.
Dear Chris and Lesley, We would just love to say a thank you very much for the hospitality you gave us while staying in your beautiful cottage!
If you don't mind I will share on FB ! We really can't fault anything, you have thought of everything...definitely 5
Hi Chris. Yes by all means put on Facebook. Glad your family’s three generations had such a great holiday. Lesley and I look forward to seeing you all next year. Thanks for the 5:5 score it reflects what we strive and work for. Kind regards.Chris
Very pretty cottage in a beautiful part of the world.
Had all the comforts of home with plenty of space for our family of 4 and the added bonus of a hot tub and fire pit. We enjoyed saying hello to the duck each day. Great location with easy access to the rest of Pembrokeshire as well as walks from the doorstep.
Heather, thanks for the 5/5 review and marvellous to hear you enjoyed your stay so much. It was a pleasure having you and your family here. Looking forward to your return visit, Chris
This property is stunning.
Fully kitted out with everything we could possibly need. Privacy when required. Absolutely fabulous. Any minor concerns were dealt with immediately with our lovely hosts, Chris and Lesley.
Thank you both for your feedback, hopefully we do indeed have everything needed for a great stay, lounge and enjoy the hot tub and views over the hills and fields or walk miles on the coastal path or enjoy sailing and fishing and paddle boarding. Best wishes. Chris and Lesley
Y Felin is a real gem of a cottage - comfortable, clean and characterful - and a great base for exploring the beautiful country and coast nearby.
Other plus points are the friendly and helpful owners and the well-equipped kitchen. Although the weather wasn't great during our three day stay, we had some delightful walks in the Gwaun valley, Tycanol Wood, Newport Sands and around Castell Henllys.
Hi Roger, thanks for the comments and perfect score it’s what we work to achieve for our visitors helped by the beauty of our surrounding countryside and coast what ever the weather. We look forward to seeing you both next year.
A lovely well maintained cottage in a beautiful rural setting.
A friendly personal welcome from the hosts Chris and Lesley who are on hand if needed.
5 star form us.
Perfect place to stay spacious and very clean. Outside space was fab with a great hot tub to relax in after a besy day. We had everything we needed including beaches and costly walks. Overall we would come back. Thank you for letting us stay in such a great place.
Hi Roger, Emma. Glad you enjoyed Y Felin so much and huge thanks for leaving the place spotless as you found it. Really enjoyed having you both and your dogs here. See you next year or the Autumn if you want. Kind regards Chris
The property was every bit as good and inviting as was seen on line and having the owner within the same grounds gave us all the information and help we could want.
Hi Nick, thanks for the feedback and 5x5. Glad you both enjoyed Y Felin so much Kind regards Chrid
Beautifully presented property ,lovely gardens.
Plenty outdoor seating , hot tub a bonus. Comfortable furniture and beds, the linen hotel Quality Had a lovely relaxing holiday. Would definitely return
Great to see you had a marvellous stay and appreciated the facilities and quality of furnishings towels and linen. We look forward to seeing you both again. Diolch. Chris
Beautiful cottage…but felt a bit on edge didn’t find it very dog friendly
Hi Sarah. With sheep in the top two fields and the ducks on the pond we do ask owners with the dog type you had to keep them on a lead when outside. There is a lead wall catch next to the hot tub and outside dinning area so it should be relaxed.
Lovely cottage, owners Chris & Lesley made us feel very welcomed.
Great location to explore Pembrokeshire.
Perfect cottage, perfect location and great hosts!
The ideal way to spend our 20th Wedding Anniversary weekend !!
Hi Lee, thanks for picking Y Felin for your special holiday. Glad you had such a good time. Look forward to seeing you back with the teenagers. Cheers Chris
Great location and great hosts.
Chris and Lesley are very happy to assist with any queries and offer up good suggestions on trips and dog walks in the local vicinity. They also help with the pronunciations of local towns and villages which was very helpful:) The cottage is lovely, immaculately clean and well presented. All furnishing are comfortable, makes a change to have both beds and couches being in good condition as normally 1 of them is an issue, the shower is lovely, powerful and hot also. The outdoor area is very roomy and well laid out with plenty of space for the dog to explore. All in all, a great location that I would be happy to revisit in the future.
Hi Paul and family, thanks for staying at Y Felin. Glad you had such a great time and worth the long journey to get from where you live. Diolch. Chris and Lesley
Chris and Lesley were very informative and welcoming.
We loved our stay
Hi Tracy, glad you loved your stay. If you stay with us again can you give us feedback of what we need to do to achieve the max score. From your comment in the visitor book there was everything you needed and spotlessly clean.
Lovely place to stay cottage was very peaceful and well located to Several walks and towns host were very welcoming on arrival and discreet for our stay
Hi Kevin, thanks for your feedback. Delighted to see the 100% score and appreciate the score to reflect the standard we aim for. Hope to see you back next year.
When arrived we met Chris & Lesley and had a tour from Chris.
He showed us around and explained how things worked. The house was lush and cosy, upon arrival the oven wasn’t working but they fixed it as soon as possible and was very apologetic. The bedroom was cosy and warm. Hot tub was good but with the cold nights it was not good getting out! Lovely little place, was easy to find but it is very out in the middle of nowhere but some people like that, we didn’t realise how far everything is from it. Overall it was a nice stay
A deceptively spacious cottage, superbly decorated with fabulous use of natural slate and wood.
Very quiet and peaceful. A good base for walking parts of the beautiful Pembrokeshire Coast. Very comfortable double bed, dark skies helping to ensure a good night's sleep after a day walking. If we were to make one recommendation for improvement it would be to put some steps or something at the side of the cottage to enable visitors to get to the hot tub from the patio doors in the double bedroom (closer to the shower) as this would enhance the privacy rather than going out of the frint doir. Overall though this was an excellent property for our short break. Chris and Lesley are great hosts, very welcoming. Thank you
We were delighted with our stay and Chris and Lesley made us so welcome.
The cottage is in a beautiful location with brilliant inside and outside space and comfort. We could not fault anything and our dog, Porridge, had a great time too. Huge thanks to Chris and Lesley for a fabulous holiday
Hi Mark, Ina and Porridge, thanks for your kind feedback and the brilliant state you handed Y Felin back to us. We look forward to your return next year. Best regards Chris and Lesley
We advised chris that a radio or alexa would be great and a side light in the lounge.
Great hosts and lovely people
everthink was great owner were great will reture will allso tell ever one how great it was
Hi Brian, I really appreciate your time to give feedback and leave a comment. Glad to hear that you and your son had a great time here and thanks for spreading the word. It’s been a tough year for tourism in Wales. So every chat helps. BTW we just crossed over the Government minimums for nights stay to OK this tax year!! Thanks again. Chris
I am fortunate to stay in a lot of holiday cottages around Cornwall and the West Wales coast.
I can honestly say that i have now found the best i have stayed in. The location is fantastic. I have a dog, the area is dog friendly and fantastic beaches. Its own garden, off road just enough with a pub 300 yds away (colourful locals) and great food. The beach at Newport is fantastic and a 5 minute drive away. With great local shops and pubs etc. It is not a touristy place, with a very chilled vibe. Which is exactly what i want, if you want to try a busier place for the day Newquay is a short drive, or Tenby an hour. The cottage itself is fantastic, well appointed with everything you need for a week away, the decor, furnishings and kitchen etc is everything that you need. The outside, a great garden, well maintained by Chris, bbq, firepit and hot tub. Plenty of parking etc. Then last but not least, the hosts Lesley and Chris. The nicest people you will ever meet, full of information about the area and anything you may need, and nothing too much trouble. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here, it really is that good. I am already looking at weeks for next year. Neil.
Hi Neil, thanks for the wonderful write up and summary of your stay at Y Felin. We finding it very rewarding when a guest has the best of times and a chance to relax and enjoy this beautiful and varied corner of the Pembrokeshire coastal park.
We loved our stay at Y Felin.
It was perfect in so many ways. Lesley and Chris are such lovely welcoming people for whom nothing is too much trouble. We felt very much at home. The cottage is gorgeous, very characterful & historic whilst also having all the amenities needed. Amazingly comfortable beds, perfect after a long days walking! Cannot recommend highly enough!
Chris and Leslie where fantastic hosts, we were very well looked after including our two dogs Nell and Bert, their knowledge of the local area was invaluable.
We will stay at Y Felin at Coed Cadw and would very highly recommend the property as a lovely place to stay.
Absolutely beautiful cottage in fantastic surroundings.
The cottage was absolutely spotless clean and extremely well maintained. It is quite obvious that the hosts, Chris & Lesley are proud of their property and so they should be. The hot tub was a delight and again very well maintained. Chris & Lesley were on hand if required but did not intrude on your privacy. An absolute delight. We will be back
Hi Del, Mark. Diolch for your feedback and perfect score. It’s a joy to share the smallholding and to invite guests to the private mill such as yourselves. We look forward to your return. Best regards. Chris
Wonderful place to stay.
great hosts,nothing too much trouble.Felt so welcome.Cottage is so homely & comfortable.Loved chilling in the hot tub. Great location for exploring the stunning location.
Hi Sarah, Thanks for the feedback and for coming to us from so far away. Glad to see you were able to totally relax and recharge your batteries. Look forward to seeing you all again. Diolch. Chris
Great stay and cannot thank Chris enough for his help during our stay.
Gorgeous cottage with everything you need.
So much today in the area means little travelling once there which is a bonus. Certainly on the list for a revisit.
Hi Rob, Stef thanks for the feedback. Glad you had such a great walking holiday here and time to relax. Look forward to seeing you both again.
Stunning cottage, with absolutely everything you could wish for.
The owners are on hand for anything and know every beach, walk and places to eat in the local area. The hot tub was wonderful after a day exploring whilst being watched by the sheep grazing in the adjoining field. We will definitely return.
Hi Caroline, Mark, thanks for the wonderful feedback and being such great guests. See you in 2024. Cheers Chris and Lesley
Excellent 'get away from it all' property, quirky but fully equiped, clean and comfortable.
Chris & Lesley great hosts, very welcoming, and great local knowledge for visiting the area, walking, eating, drinking etc. What better than relaxing in the hot-tub with a glass of bubbly, after a day walking the Pembrokeshire coastal path. Our tip, visit 'The Ferry' for Sunday lunch.
Hi Chris. Glad you enjoyed Y Felin and our local area. Look forward to seeing you both again. Diolch Chris.
This was our second visit to the cottage.
The cottage is clean and very comfortable. We have very busy lives at home, and really needed a well earned relaxing break. The weather was beautiful all week so we enjoyed sitting in the garden and relaxing in the hot tub. Chris and Lesley are fantastic, always on hand to help with anything you need. Beautiful beaches are only a short drive away and are dog friendly. The local pub is just down the road and the food was delicious
Hi Dean. Loverly to see you and your wife back at Y Felin. Glad you were able to relax and recharge before back to work for you both. Look forward to seeing you both soon Best regards. Chris.
Lovely weekend break at Y Felin.
The cottage is clean and cosy and has everything you need. Chris, our host, was very informative and helpful. The weather was very good with excellent coastal walks on your doorstep. Very enjoyable.
Hi Peter. Glad your family has such a wonderful time, the costal path this time of year has such varied flora and fauna. Look forward to your return visit. Diolch. Chris
Beautiful place to stay, very relaxing and so much to do in the general area.
Loved the booklet of ideas of areas to visit, local pub and shops, castles, beaches. Perfect getaway for couples.
Hi Joshua, thank you for the 100% score and your feedback.
We thoroughly enjoyed our few days at Y Felin.
Upon arrival the cottage was clean and there was tea, coffee, butter, milk, sugar and welsh cakes left for us. Chris was a lovely host, very friendly and helpful. He gave lots of suggestions on places to visit nearby. When we arrived we were surprised with runner ducks wondering and this made the experience even better. Plenty of land for the dogs to run around on. The cottage is rural but not a far walk or drive to things nearby. We had a lovely Sunday dinner just 2 minutes away and the pub was dog friendly. Most places in Fishguard and Cardigan were dog friendly to our surprise. The only reason for not giving a full score was the accuracy of the advert. We were under the impression that there was a secure field for the dogs, both dogs could get under the gate. We also didn’t realise until after booking that although it’s a dog friendly cottage the dogs aren’t allowed on the furniture or carpeted areas and that they cannot be left whilst possibly going down to the local pub for food/drink. Luckily we had taken a crate and this didn’t bother us but I think it’s worth noting in the ad (it may have been but we hadn’t noticed this until we’d been sent details after booking). Overall we enjoyed our visit very much and will definitely be recommending to others. We are hoping to return in the future. Beautiful setting and a beautiful cottage.
Hi Cerys, thank you for the feedback. I’ve replaced the lower grill on the field gates which should increase security for dogs. Since all the sofa are new we do ask owners to keep dogs off them, we will look to providing throws to cover the sofas if you want a cuddle with them. The downstairs area is all underfloor stone heating including the twin room and suitable for dogs, we do ask that the master bedroom which is carpeted has limited dog access to minimise dog hairs and their removal. Your use of a crate is ideal and much appreciated. Dogs which don’t pine or suffer from separation anxiety are welcome to be left in Y Felin provided it’s for a limited period such as a dinner or meal out. Just text to let us know and an eta for your return in case they are distressed. Many thanks Chris and Lesley .
Great accommodation and hospitality/support from hosts.
Good location also and will be very happy to recommend to others.
Hi Katherine, many thanks for your feedback and delighted you and the boys enjoyed your time with us. We are so fortunate to have the small holding in this part of Wales with the Preseli hills behind us and the sea so close. It great to be able to share. CM
As a family of 4 we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely characterful cottage.
The property was very clean tidy and well maintained with a spacious private outdoor seating area with a relaxing hot tub . The hosts Chris and Lesley were very friendly welcoming people with lots of good suggestions for things to do in the local area. We were unfortunate that during our stay the weather was quite wet which left us with wet clothing and towels from the hot tub to dry.This proved quite challenging with no tumble dryer and resulted in us using the old fashioned method of drying our clothes in front of the lovely log burner. The property would definitely benefit from a tumble dryer in the winter months Having said this,it certainly wouldn’t put us off staying here again and we would definitely recommend this cottage in the future
Very friendly welcome and lots of local information, both in a printed book and email before the stay.
Warm and cozy cottage, even without using the wood burner. Absolutely everything seemed to be considered in the fittings and equipment. The area is interesting historically and has fantastic, easily accessible beaches, open to dogs out of peak season. There is a field next to the property ideal for exercising dogs if there are no sheep etc. Lots of delightful dog friendly pubs with good food. Only problem I had, with having quite bad arthritis at the moment, I found the internal stairs a bit of a challenge so wouldn’t recommend this particular cottage to someone with limited mobility. Having said that, I wouldn’t have missed the experience and the lovely warm hot tub amply compensated. Chris and Lesley are a lovely couple with a wealth of knowledge of the local area and life in general. We were with my son and his partner, celebrating our 48th wedding anniversary and we all (including the dogs) had a very special time.
Hi Alan, Barbara thank you for this wonderful feedback it really helps to ensure that we get it right for our guests and their dogs so that you get the most from your stay and holiday. We’re about to open next year’s diary if you’d let your son know. Kind regards. Chris and Lesley.
If you desire peace and quiet avoid this property!
The proximity to the A487 was advised, however the glazing provides nominal sound proofing. The heating air source pump is internal and exceptionally loud. Thereby turning this off to sleep then means no underfloor heating and no hot water in the morning for 2-3 hours: hardly a desirable choice. The small holding element may include a local farmer covering the top field with slurry. This potential was part of our welcome narrative and fortunately did not materialise. The owners dwelling is very close and we were treated to scaffolders and roofers starting work at 8am midweek and chose to cut short our stay. For the £25 supplement for the dog you get an electronic receipt from Sykes!! (To be clear and aligned to the owner's guidance), this is not a very dog friendly property. With so many Pembrokeshire options available I urge you to look further. We made a very bad choice with Y Felin at Coed Cadw.
Oh Dear, it’s truly disappointing that you were unable to find the tranquillity and peace that until now, every one of our guests over the past year have found. Having arrived somewhat flustered from a long journey it was clear that Y Felin wasn’t what you expected, I can only surmise from your comments at the time that the remote, separate dwelling in its own area of land was closer to your vision. You’d unfortunately but clearly had not read the Sykes property description, nor the property welcome I’d sent nor looked at the map on the first page that describes accurately the holiday let including the need to have dogs on a lead outside given livestock needs, but a dog walk is available in a fenced/hedged large garden. 75% of our guests have dogs and their feedback notes their enjoyment with their dogs of the property, the 11 acres of our smallholding loving the private walks, scenery and space. Slurry isn’t used here given the lay of the land, but we are expecting to fertilise the fields using organic alternative (minimal smell). Our description also makes it clear that the primary source of heating is the wood-burner, that the air-source heater can take up to 48 hours to effect change given the thickness of the stone flooring and is there for background heat, the hot water ideally uses our solar power during daylight hours helping to minimise the carbon footprint, there is a very large hot-water store and yes the air-source heater can hum hence the recommendation to switch off at night if it is causing a disturbance but back on 1st thing in the morning to ensure hot water is constantly available. The double glazing is effective but having the on-suite ceiling window open will counter the soundproof quality when the occasional tractor with silage travels up the lane. With buildings that are over two hundred years old occasional maintenance is needed including the renewal of the porch roof. Two workman replacing slates on a porch that is 30 meters diagonally from Y Felin and the opposite side to the private areas for guests around the hot tub or the stream table was unavoidable. Perhaps next time you choose a cottage holiday read the details, all of them and ask questions to ensure your precise needs are meet.
A beautiful cottage in a perfect setting.
Very comfortable, peaceful and well located for visiting beaches, countryside and towns. Our hosts Lesley and Chris could not have been more welcoming and helpful.Their assistance with sorting out our car breakdown problem was invaluable and appreciated so much!
Beautiful, well equipped cottage in a lovely part of Wales.
Our hosts, Chris and Lesley were friendly and welcoming. Plenty of good local pubs and restaurants nearby and attractions to visit. Definitely worth a return stay.
A lovely cottage equipped with everything we required and a fabulous hot tub.
Hosts were very welcoming and had some helpful suggestions of where to eat. A great location for exploring Pembrokeshire and it's lovely beaches. Clean and well presented - would definitely recommend.
This property is probably the best we've stayed in.
The location is perfect to explore South Wales from horse riding to a Iron age settlement nearby there's something for everone and with a friendly pub within 5 minutes walk need I say more. Mark and Sandra
HI Mark, Sandra, It was a pleasure to have your company last week, glad to see your long journey was worthwhile. Chris and Lesley Morgan.
Absolutely fabulous holiday.
Great place to stay. Cottage equipped with everything you need. Very clean and beds sooo comfortable. Hot tub amazing. Very relaxing and peaceful location. Easy to visit different places in the area. Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again. Not suitable for anyone with mobility issues.
Hi Deb, Thank you for the glowing feedback, we look forward to seeing you and Roy back next year. Best regards Chris.
The property was beautifully presented and very well equipped.
The owners were wonderful; so friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The property is situated in a very picturesque spot and well located for exploring the Pembrokeshire. The hot tub was a real treat and all our party really enjoyed it. We had a thoroughly enjoyable week and very much hope to return. Thank you Chris & Lesley for making us so welcome.
We had a lovely stay at Y Felin, where the cleanliness, comfort and decor were all fantastic.
Sadly for us the property was described as having an enclosed garden, which we wrongly assumed meant our OWN enclosed garden. We had 2 dogs with us who had to be kept on leads at all times which, had we known, we would not have chosen this property. I did point this out to the owner, who offered us the use of 2 enclosed spaces on another part of the property. This though missed our point that we wanted to sit in our hot tub or just at our outdoor table with our dogs with us and for them not to be tethered. Other than that we would recommend the cottage to anyone without dogs as it really is lovely.
Hi Debra, Delighted that you found Y Felin fantastic. Your feedback with regard to the "enclosed" garden has prompted us to clarify in the description the unfenced nature of the garden and not rely on the photos to show the private space offered. Being a smallholding with farm livestock including Indian long runner ducks, dogs need to be under control at all times i.e. on a lead when outside. We've also added to the description the dog walk/play area which has stock fencing and away from the majority of livestock. Thank you your feedback and help to make this the idyllic setting for holidays. Kind regards Chris and Lesley, Y Felin.
We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Y Felin in May.
It's an ideal base to explore the delights of Pembrokeshire. The cottage was lovely, and the hosts, Chris and Lesley, couldn't have been more welcoming, friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!
We had a really lovely week in the cottage.
It’s in an idyllic location close to several good walks, pubs and places of interest, with loads more within short driving distance. The cottage is a beautiful converted mill with a number of original features. The log burner, hot tub and ducks made it for us! Chris was very welcoming and on site for anything we needed. Looking forward to going back.
We booked this cottage for a weekend break near the beach.
The owners made us feel at home and welcome. The facilities were great and the cottage was fabulous. We visited several beaches all of which were beautiful and our dog loved. Look forward to returning to this wonderful place!
We have just had the most fantastic 7 night stay at Yfelin cottage Coed Cadw.
The cottage is delightful and has everything you could possibly want . It is extremely comfortable and great attention has been paid to make everything perfect. . The hosts Chris and Lesley are a charming welcoming couple and nothing was to much trouble. The cottage is set on what was once a farm and is absolutely beautiful. There are geese on the pond in the grounds and fabulous fields surrounding. There is also a lovely pub just down the road The Salutation Inn that does great food. We will certainly be returning and would highly recommend staying at Yfelin. Why would you want to stay anywhere else. Thank you Chris and Lesley for making us and our doggie welcome. Liz,Pete and Frankie
Lovely warm personal welcome by owners.
Suited our needs for this holiday over Christmas with our two dogs. Great location for south and west Wales.

Had an amazing stay here, hosts were really friendly and helpful with the local area and made sure we always had what we needed and couldn't be more helpful.
The area was stunning and loads of places to walk with our pup with some lovely pubs near by that were also dog friendly. Couldn't have asked for better facilities for the week for cooking/cleaning ect. Would definitely go again and recommend to others to go.
Beautiful place amazing hosts highly recommended will definitely be back a weekend wasn't long enough the pub down the road does Beautiful food and there's alot of lovely scenery and the view of the stars from the hot tub of a night is mind blowing
Really lovely people.
Chris and Lesley couldn't be better hosts. The cottage is gorgeous and our family of 4 and 2 small dogs loved it. The setting is in an ideal position to explore this part of wales.
