About this property

Glanduad Fawr is a simply outstanding property located at Felindre Farchog, close to the charming village of Nevern and the town of Newport on the Pembrokeshire coast. The perfect destination for a big family get-together or a gathering of family and friends for a special occasion. Enjoying a truly beautiful setting with lawns, woodlands, a pond and a river helps to create a true rural idyll and gives the property a real sense of tranquillity. This is the ideal spot for getting away from it all and as soon as you’ve parked up and unloaded, you can breathe in the fresh Pembrokeshire air and start to relax. Step into the spacious property and as you explore the house, you get a sense of the character and charm of this grand old country abode. Take a seat in the ample sitting room complete with comfy seating, a Smart TV and a feature woodburning stove, which all add up to create a really inviting room and is somewhere you can imagine spending lots of time relaxing and catching up with each other during your holiday. The good-sized kitchen is fully equipped with everything that is necessary to create delicious food for the holiday party. Guests can choose from an elegant dining room set up for 12 where you can look forward to memorable dinner parties or for something slightly less formal, take a seat in the breakfast room, perfect for breakfast or brunch on the go. When the sun shines, take a seat on the outside terrace and enjoy time eating and drinking alfresco. When it’s bedtime, you can take your pick from six beautifully appointed bedrooms ranging from a ground-floor twin to five king-sizes arranged over the first and second-floors and with five bathrooms to choose from, no need to worry about queuing for the bathroom in the morning! Talking of mornings, when it’s time to get up, you’re already in the perfect location for getting out and about exploring so after a hearty breakfast and a coffee on the terrace, you’re good to go. A short walk along the riverbank footpath will take you to the local village of Felindre Farchog, where the Salutation Inn awaits for a fine country meal and glass of wine. Newport is a popular coastal town with its Golden Sands an inviting prospect for young and young-at-heart alike and is also home to a number of popular eateries such as Llys Meddyg, the Castle Inn and The Golden Lion. The historians of the group will marvel at your location as next door is Castell Henllys Iron Age Hill Fort whilst a short drive takes you to the picture postcard sight of Pentre Ifan, an iconic Neolithic Burial Chamber. If nature is more your thing, then the nearby Dyfed Shire Horse Farm in Eglwyswrw tells the story of its proud links to Army parade Drum Horses, whilst a visit further north to the popular market town of Cardigan offers the opportunity to take a boat trip out into Cardigan Bay to meet the resident bottle nosed dolphins and don't forget to make a visit to the Welsh Wildlife Centre near Cilgerran whilst you're in the area. For some exercise, a hike up into the nearby Preseli Hills and up to Carningli allows for stunning views of the Cardigan Bay coastline. For an idyllic holiday in an idyllic location, make Glanduad Fawr your first choice.

Nevern is a pretty little fishing village near to the town of Newport in the north east of Pembrokeshire. The excellent church in the village was on the pilgrim's route to St Davids and draws visitors from around the globe to wander through the peaceful avenue of 700 year old yew trees, one of which is the famous bleeding yew tree for which various legends exist. There is an ancient castle ruin on the edge of the village, wonderful river walks and a pub/restaurant serving fine food all year round. The beautiful Pembrokeshire coast is nearby with its stunning sandy beaches, the famous coastal path, bird and dolphin watching and boat trips. An informative and fun day can be had by all at the local Iron Age hill fort and the Shire Horse farm. A perfect location for all ages to escape for a peaceful, yet fun packed holiday at any time of year.

    Nestled amidst breathtaking Welsh countryside, this charming house offered the perfect blend of comfort and tranquility. The interior was beautifully decorated with a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it a joy to prepare meals. The living room provided a comfortable space to relax and unwind, with the log burner being a real treat. The dining room was beautiful , with original 17th century panels, and a huge table perfect for 12, or even for playing Dungeons and dragons! The bedrooms were peaceful and inviting, and the contemporary en-suites stunning, with all mod cons. We particularly loved the cottage's proximity to Castell Henllys, and the lovely little village of Newport. Whether we were exploring the quaint villages, hiking through the picturesque countryside, breathtaking coastline, or simply enjoying the peace and quiet, there was always something to do. The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a memorable stay. Their attention to detail was evident throughout our visit. We would highly recommend Glanduad fawr to anyone seeking a relaxing and enjoyable getaway. It's the ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with nature. We will definitely book again for our next family get-together.

    Martin and James did a fantastic job renovating the place and keeping as much of the original features as they could and enhancing the home with modern comforts. The surroundings are beautiful, easy access to Newport, Cardigan, Fishguard and Haverford West as well as local pubs and villages to visit. Nearby Nanhyfer / Nevern (pronounced never~n) and St Brynach Church are definitely worth a visit and it’s only a short walk up to the old Nanhyfer Castle and Pilgrim’s Cross. I shall be writing up my family history and send a copy for the house information pack. Thank you again for your hospitality Martin & James. We shall be back. :o) Nic, Mark, Nathaniel, Nika, Sue Smith and The Sunshines.
