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

Chris & Jo, Leamington Spa

Wow! What a wonderful time we’ve both had at Nantwen. It has been as special as we could have hoped. Daniel and Jemma, thank you so much for all of your help. We could not have enjoyed a more special wedding. Nantwen really has provided a magical backdrop. Nantwen is now etched onto our hearts….and of course, also now our wedding rings.


Melanie & Tony, Durham

We have had a wonderful week at Nantwen. Peace & Dramatic scenery. Coastal and Country walks are superb, loved Porthgain and Pentre Ifan. We know perfect weather helped, but we know the house and region would be just as lovely at any time. We slept soundly in the superbly comfortable bed and awoke to birdsong and sunshine every morning.


Graham, Glasgow

Our second visit to Nantwen and as enchanting as before. The facilities are first class and felt so relaxed. A resident family of swifts greeted us each morning as we sat out with our breakfast and Parsnip the cat gave us a friendly welcome. Daniel and Jemma look after you well and it really is a special place to stay.


Adam, Norwich

Our experience at Nantwen was absolutely wonderful. We stayed for three nights, holding our 'runaway' wedding ceremony there on the second day. We truly can not imagine a more perfect place for our wedding. The house is comfortable and stylish, while the gardens/grounds are spectacular. It is intimate, relaxing and there are some beautiful towns/beaches very close by. Daniel and Jemma are lovely, friendly people and made the whole trip so easy for us; even though we didn't see them often (except for greeting/goodbye) they are always close by if needed. We can't wait to return! 10/10


Katie, Haverfordwest

We planned our runaway wedding at Nantwen. Nantwen is such a beautiful place. And we were made to feel so welcome. The grounds around Nantwen are beautiful and the photos were perfect. Our one year old little boy loved running around the grounds. Home from home. We will definitely be returning next year for our anniversary.


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.
