About this property
Cwm Bach (Little Valley) is situated in the spectacular Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, voted the UK's Holiday Destination of the Year 2018. It is set in a wooded hillside in its own secluded valley, with views across Fishguard Bay. The market town of Fishguard is a five minute drive.
Cwm Bach (Little Valley) is an award-winning gem situated in the heart of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Britain's only coastal national park has a spectacular coastline with a variety of landscapes - from cliffs, arches and stacks, sea caves and sandy beaches to wooded estuaries with lakes, hills and moorland further inland. (In 2011, the park was voted as the second best coastal destination in the world by the National Geographic magazine.)
The cottage is set in a wooded hillside within its own secluded valley, 300m from the road. From outside the property there are lovely views across Fishguard Bay and often spectacular sunsets to enjoy. Cwm Bach is a five-minute drive from the picturesque market town of Fishguard, and the village of Newport with its excellent restaurants, an unspoilt sandy beach, horse riding, fishing and a links golf club that welcomes visitors.
The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path is a 10-minute walk from the property and there are also moorland rambles inland at Dinas. There are some which are easily walked from the property. The area abounds in wildlife and the mild climate ensures that spring arrives early and autumn lingers. Trips to the offshore islands operate most months of the year - spring and autumn are the best times to see seals and porpoises.
In the words of the National Trust "Escape to the western edge of Wales and explore a dramatic coastal landscape. Discover the secrets of our wild places and create your own memories".

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Cwm Bach and consider it one of the best holiday homes we have stayed in. The location is idyllic and the cottage has everything you would need for a week away. The owners were very friendly and helpful but not obtrusive. The welcome hamper was extremely generous and meant we could settle in before having to buy provisions. Being able to walk to the sandy Pwllgwaeold beach (7k round trip) with our two grandsons was a great advantage in view of the parking limitations there. A highlight of the holiday was seeing dolphins swimming close to the shoreline on two occasions. Nearer is the more secluded pebble beach at Aber Bach, which was also enjoyable. We left with the hope of returning to see Cwm Bach in both spring and autumn.
