The Experience

Solar panels, biomass boiler, wood-burner, Welsh wool… You’re as snug as a bug and surrounded by wildlife, yet only five minutes from Newport. Down a pot-holed track on a hillside, overlooking the lush valley, is this big lovely bolthole for two. Jemma (jeweller) and Daniel (cellist) have happily returned to the family home to raise their young family and are full of exciting plans, e.g. vintage weddings and civil ceremonies in the barn. (Don’t worry: all self-catered stays are wedding-free!). The setting is idyllic and the garden has a view-filled terrace, raised beds and a beautiful wildflower meadow. Inside are two levels of heated wood floors (sanded planks up, new oak down) linked by a small curving stair. The open-plan sitting/dining/kitchen space is downstairs, the shower room too. Discover Europe’s smallest city, St Davids, or explore friendly little Newport. You can walk to the pub.

Reviews

Harriette, Llanidloes

This was such a wonderful places to stay! Daniel, Jemma and their family were so lovely and helpful (Wales went into lockdown while we were there and they were so accommodating). The cottage is beautiful and cosy, it was the perfect Welsh get away location. We would love to visit again and highly recommend.


Mike & Yael, Bristol

We chose to get married at Nantwen, and couldn't have hoped for anything better. Cycling over a few days, and arriving at the end of the track, the view was just what we'd imagined. Communication prior to our arrival was clear, detailed and helpful - including help finding accommodation for our friends who brought the dress, and recommendations for everything you need to make a tiny wedding go smoothly. The cottage is lovely, hospitality superb. Thank you for everything, including the children picking us flowers from the garden!


Sophie & Ryan, Dover

We can’t thank you enough for making our holiday & wedding so perfect. The cottage is breathtakingly beautiful - spotlessly clean and so homely. The moment we were greeted by Daniel, Elsbeth & Henry picking blackberries we knew we’d found a home from home. It couldn’t have been more perfect; thank you so much for the hand picked flowers; and send Amy our sincerest thanks for helping me into my dress! You have been so helpful and welcoming. It will forever be in our hearts; and we will return!


Anthony & Ruth, Monmouth

We enjoyed such a relaxing stay even with the rain! This is a special place and we hope to be back soon.


Leanne and Mark, Shropshire

We stayed at Nantwen for 3 nights with friends to get married, the cottage was beautiful and very welcoming - a home from home! The setting is perfect and Daniel, Jemma and family were more than welcoming. We will be returning in 2019, we didn’t want to go back to Shropshire - the wedding day and stay at Nantwen was perfect! Thank you so much :)


Location

The neighbourhood

Local points of interest from Daniel & Jemma

  • A luxurious space for two in a quiet setting. A home from home built by local craftsmen. Breathtaking wooden features and real attention to detail.
  • We are within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Walk from the door in meadows and ancient woodland, or enjoy the vibrant nearby village of Newport with its independent shops and galleries; pause for a delicious meal in one of the five restaurants.
  • It's just 5 mins to the gorgeous Pembrokeshire coast for beautiful beaches and walking the coastal path. Also close by are: Pentre Ifan Burial Chamber and Castel Henllys iron-age village, or amble through the ancient woodlands of Tycanol and Pengelli.
  • Bake in the well-equipped kitchen or prepare a romantic evening meal to enjoy around the rustic table before curling up with a book or watch a DVD from a vast selection in the snug. Neal's Yard products to enjoy in our deep claw-foot bath.
  • If you are an amateur musician and are looking for a course for yourself or with friends then visit our website for information about our string instrument or chamber music courses. You can get married here too! Nantwen is licensed for civil ceremonies.
  • Take a boat ride to Skomer, visit Narberth for antiques, independent shops and cafes, or the UK's smallest city, St Davids; watch the dolphins in Cardigan Bay.
