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

Paul, London

This has been the break we have both needed; and from the madding crowd of London. It was so good to slow the pace, take in the scenery; make a short walk into a long one and end with great food in Newport. Thank you for looking after us so well, Never intrusive yet always helpful. To borrow from Arnie, “we’ll be back!’


George, Hereford

"The Beast from the East” was not enough to put us off our first weekend away without children in 10 years! I am so glad we came, we have had a wonderful cosy break. It is such a wonderful space. Thank you for the delicious bread and jam etc. Very appreciated. We will definitely be back perhaps when the weather is a little kinder! :) Thank you


Claire, Bristol

A beautiful place for a small wedding. Jemma and Daniel were excellent hosts. The cottage is lovely with everything you could need for a romantic break. Set in the beautiful Pembrokeshire countryside near the beach and restaurants/ pubs of Newport this is a great location.


Patrick, SAFFRON WALDEN

We had a very nice stay at Nantwen. The cottage is warm, nicely decorated and well equipped. Good local walks and Newport is a charming village with good restaurants and food shops if you feel like staying in.


Giles, Bath, UK

Wonderful setting of lovingly restored cottage with perfect wildflower meadow and garden. Quiet. Secluded. Great log fire, shower and well equipped kitchen. So good we even got engaged!

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.
