About this property
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.

About the host
Hosted by Heather MACGREGOR
In 1956 my family and another jointly bought the cottage. It remained as a holiday cottage, kept by the two families till the mid 80s. The cottage passed to the next generation and I've kept it in traditional style. It has been a big but rewarding commitment keeping my links to the past in the welcoming community, with familiar sights, walks, pubs and people. I have always fished for the excellent (but rather small) trout in the river five minutes away on foot.
Why they chose this property
I have known the property all my life. Its positive effect never wanes. The charm of place and simplicity that creates an enduring appeal.
Countless families from all over the UK have shared the pleasures of the cottage over the past 50 years. With very few exceptions they have found its magic worked for them, with returners year on year. The full visitors' book tributes cannot be put on Vrbo, since the entries precede this era. The resident community in the valley are extremely welcoming and helpful.
HERE ARE A FEW TRIBUTES FROM THE PAST
............................................................................................
Don’t change or “improve anything”, especially the stairs! Attic very good for train set on rainy day. Dyffryn Fernant splendid as ever. Same for Carninglie and Aber Rhigias. At least the rain was an excuse to have a summer fire. Cwm Gwaun brewery also good again. Will probably be back for a third time.
.............
Such a peaceful and special place. It’s lovely sitting in the grassy car park space looking out across the valley on a golden evening. Looking forward to coming back next year. Thanks to the people who left the tea leaves. We’ve seen hawks, a jay and various other interesting birds we’ll need to look up. The cottage is a perfect place for children. Susan loved the attic with the low door that kept the parents out and baby James loved staring up at the beamed ceiling. Had the usual amusing spider adventure – this time it was lurking in my hair towel. Lobsters at Pwll Gwaelod (a beach).
....
An excellent location with a lot of stuff to do including walking down streams and making dens. A nice garden and very comfy rooms. I loved the visit. Thank you.
...
Quirky but quaint. Very cosy – loved the location and the peace. The running water is very relaxing. Did lots of walks so feel fitter than when we arrived.
...
Once again we have had a wonderful time at this fantastic cottage.

What makes this property unique
Silences, colour, and all the excitements of a down-to-earth living. In a national park that has not allowed change for decades, it really is something from a different world. It usually leaves the traveller with a heightened sense of wellbeing, more energy, and even, at times, a suntan.
