About this property
Newcastle Emlyn 1.5 miles. A beautifully converted detached cottage, nestled in a pretty wooded valley, across the quiet lane from the owners’ property and surrounded by open fields near the village of Cwm-Cou. Just a short drive from Newcastle Emlyn, a popular market town spanning the fishing River Teifi, the cottage is a perfect base for small families or couples to enjoy the surrounding countryside from. Upstairs, there are two comfortable bedrooms and a family bathroom. On the ground floor is an open plan living area with a well-equipped kitchen which looks over fields, a small dining area and a comfortable sitting area, with a TV and DVD player, where on a clear day you can enjoy the valley views across to the Preseli Hills.
Outside, you can sit on the patio and lawned area and reminisce your day and talk of your adventures for tomorrow. The immediate area is surrounded by lovely walks, especially along the River Ceri and River Teifi running through Newcastle Emlyn, which also has some fantastic river and castle walks, as well as famous river fishing. Why not take a trip to Cenarth Falls at see the salmon leap at certain times of the year?

It's a very peaceful and tranquil area. The cottage has everything you need and is very comfortable with plenty of space for 3 people. The views are spectacular nearby footpaths and fields for walks. Owners, are really lovely friendly people. They are very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. We had a wonderful stay and would love to come back. Whilst we were there we visited a couple of NHS National Trust houses, RHS approved gardens, local beaches and small towns. We had a wonderful holiday.
