Guests say

Penfeidr Newydd is a charming and cosy cottage in Newport, praised for its stunning location with direct mountain access and breathtaking views. Guests appreciate the warm, comfortable atmosphere, complete with a wood-burning stove and thoughtful touches like fresh flowers. The property's rustic character and proximity to local amenities make it a hit, despite some feedback on the need for bathroom improvements and softer bedding.

The cottage is consistently described as clean, with guests noting a well-maintained kitchen and comfortable living spaces. No negative comments about cleanliness suggest a high standard is being met.

The location receives high praise for its tranquillity, stunning views, and easy access to both mountain trails and the town's amenities. Its unique position is a highlight for many visitors.

While guests find the cottage cosy and the atmosphere welcoming, some mention that the beds and pillows are quite firm, and the bathroom facilities could be improved for added comfort.

The cottage is well-equipped, with a wood-burning stove and thoughtful reading lights. However, there are remarks about the need for a better shower or bath, and anticipation for an upstairs bathroom installation.

Guests mention thoughtful gestures such as fresh flowers and complimentary logs for the burner. While gifts are appreciated, it is important to note that such personal touches, though delightful, are not guaranteed.

About this property

Idyllically set high up above Newport, directly beneath the mythical Carningli is Penfeidr Newydd, a delightfully rustic, two-bedroom holiday home. Perfect for a family, friends or couples and their canine companions, this traditional mountain cottage boats many original features and woodwork, plenty of character and stunning sea views. Inside, find all you need for a self-catering stay in a peaceful, picture-perfect setting, starting off in the well-appointed kitchen, where the chef of your group can rustle up some dinner; there are two dining spaces, one in the kitchen and one in the living/dining room for gathering your family around to feast. Then relax in the living room with woodburner or likewise, make use of the snug with open fire, to unwind while you catch up on the day’s adventures. When sleep calls, freshen up in the ground floor bathroom before heading upstairs, where the character continues and find two bedrooms, a double and a family room, perfect for resting your head before another adventurous day out. Be sure to make the most of the lawned garden, where you can admire the breathtaking sea views with your morning cup of tea in-hand or an evening glass of wine at sunset. When you’re not gazing upon the magical views from the garden, why not head down to the town of Newport on a short 10 minute walk to a delightful selection of pubs, restaurants and shops to keep you fuelled on your days out. Then continue down to the coast and spend a day at Newport Sands or the harbour at Parog and take advantage of your surrounds by beginning your walk along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Next stop west is Fishguard, home to the legend of Welsh heroine Jemima Nicholas, whose trusted pitchfork kept Napoleon's men at bay during the Last Invasion of Mainland Britain in 1797. Heading east, the historic market town of Cardigan, resting on the River Teifi is home to a castle that hosted the first Welsh Eisteddfod in 1176 and a wealth of independent shopping outlets. Nearby Cilgerran meanwhile boasts its own castle, perched above the gorge below and is home to the Welsh Wildlife Centre, which is great day out for the nature lovers of the group. Heading back to Newport, a visit to the Dyfed Shire Horse Farm in Eglwyswrw allows you to get up close to those majestic gentle giant and make sure to visit the picturesque 5500 year old Neolithic Burial Chamber at Pentre Ifan. Penfeidr Newydd is wonderfully placed to step out of your front door onto Carningli Common, as well being able to access the north Pembrokeshire coast within minutes.

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.

    We had a wonderful stay.

    We loved the real fires and cosy atmosphere here. Friendly donkeys at the end of the garden were a bonus! John the owner was welcoming and warm. We enjoyed visiting Newport, which was a short walk away and has a variety of shops, Monday market and plenty of places to eat. A wonderful stay and we hope to return.

    , and so peaceful. The cottage was very comfortable and the supply of logs much appreciated. It was nice to have easy to use, straight forward appliances - do the job and you don’t have to stress over how to use the multifunctional oven or variety of hobs! Good food, including breakfasts, at Blas in Newport. Monty (the dog) enjoyed his week as guardian of the gateway to Carningli and making friends with John.
