About this property
Glan Helyg is a superb, spacious detached property, close to the heart of Newport and is perfect for families or a group of friends.
Newport’s excellent range of eateries, pubs and individual shops are close by and a five minute walk to Parrog beach, the Nevern estuary and the coast path.
The larger beach of Newport Sands - Traeth Mawr - is within walking distance via the iron bridge and is backed by Newport’s 18-hole golf course.
Behind Newport is Carningli Mountain where from the top, wonderful views of Newport Bay, the Preseli Hills and even Ireland on a clear day, can be seen.
The coastal shuttle bus can be caught in the town, enabling walkers to tackle a different stretch of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path every day if desired. In fact, once guests have arrived, they could forget about using their car for the rest of their stay.
Newport is a beautiful coastal town in Pembrokeshire, south west Wales lying on the River Nevern with a selection of shops, pubs, tea rooms, plus an excellent golf course overlooking the sea as well as a lovely sheltered harbour. Newport lies on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path which is renowned worldwide for its unique landscape and wonderful opportunities to go dolphin and seal spotting. Wonderful coastal walks along the path or in the nearby Preseli Hills with the ever changing scenery are a walkers dream all year round. Learn about history when you visit the mills, craft centres and castles dotted around the county or spend a day at the wonderful Castell Henllys Iron Age Fort where you can learn hands on all about living during that time. See the majestic Shire Horses at the Shire Horse Farm or spend relaxing days on the huge choice of beautiful sandy beaches. All year round this is a perfect location for all the family.

It would have been nice for the owners to supply some essentials such as milk, salt and pepper. Looking at the photos we were expecting the back garden to be a larger. The front twin bedroom needs some curtains, it just had very thin net curtains.

Well equipped and comfortable. Close to all the amenities of Newport, with easy access to the coastal path.

I felt the pictures of the back garden were a little misleading as in the photos of the property it looked much bigger. Also the grass hadnât been cut. Didnât really matter though as it rained for most of the week. That said we enjoyed our stay
