self-catering holiday cottage in South Wales

Tan y Bryn
Crymych, Pembrokeshire

Tan y Bryn is a beautiful traditional stone cottage set in a former smallholding in the centre of the Pembrokeshire coast national park. The cottage with adjoining barn rented together sleep 8 or more, and the barn can be rented on its own at certain times of the year, sleeping 2 and providing a gorgeous romantic hideaway for a couple.

The cottage nestles amongst farmland in a valley in the Preselli Hills, just 4 miles from the pretty seaside town of Newport and the spectacular Pembrokeshire coastal path. The sublime county of Pembrokeshire is one of the most unspoilt places in the UK. There are an abundance of sandy beaches and rocky coves providing safe, clean swimming and watersports, fishing and wildlife spotting. The fine coastline is best enjoyed from along the 180 miles of footpaths, which has walking to suit all fitness levels. Dolphins, porpoises and grey seals can be spotted from the shore. The area is rich in pre-historic remains and megalithic sites. Close to the cottage ancient oak forests and the panoramic landscape of the Preseli Hills provide walking and horseriding opportunities closer to home.

The pretty village of Newport is just 4 miles from this superb cottage. The town has a range of antique shops, art galleries, craft shops, and a bakery as well as pubs and restaurants serving delicious homecooked food. The Pembrokeshire coast is dotted with beautiful villages which will provide a welcome pitstop during any walk. St David's, with its remarkable Cathedral and famously small city, is within an easy drive of the cottage, and Cardigan and Fishguard - bustling market towns with colourful houses - are also within 20 minutes drive of the cottage.

Beautiful Pembrokeshire has so much to offer and Tan y Bryn is a truly lovely cottage to do it from - just the place for a family holiday in Wales.

The light and airy split level barn is the converted part of the house, with high ceilings, comfortable furniture, a tape deck and radio, and a selection of books and games including useful tourist information and walking guides to help you plan your day in the Pembrokeshire coast and countryside. The lounge leads to a beautifully handbuilt glass and wood conservatory, where you can relax, read and watch the friendly robins feed near the cottage. The conservatory has day beds that double up as additional sleeping space should you need it. An addtional smaller lounge in the older part of the cottage, has an inglenook fireplace with woodburning fire, piano, comfy armchairs, and a TV and DVD player - great if the kids want to watch their favourite movie. The house has broadband internet - you just need to bring your own laptop.

At the heart of this rambling Welsh holiday cottage is a lovely large farmhouse kitchen which has tradtional stone floor, handmade wooden cabinets and a walk-in pantry. The kitchen is well equipped with an abundance of pots and pans, cooking implements and baking equipment and there is a dining table with enough space to seat 8. Cooking is by gas cooker, with a fridge just off the kitchen and an additional freezer, plus washing machine in the outbuilding just beside the house. Eco-friendly washing tablets and cleaning products are provided.

The master bedroom is above the large living room, bright and spacious with period furniture and a lovely window seat that looks out over the patio below. The cosy 2nd bedroom is off the downstairs lounge, with pretty pine double bed and character furnishings. The remaining bedrooms - one twin room and one with bunk beds, are situated at the top of a second staircase. There is ample space for hanging clothes and additional futons to provide flexible sleeping space in other rooms. Duvets are provided, but please bring your own bedlinen, towels and handtowels. A shower room is situated on the ground floor, and the first floor has a family bathroom and shower over bath. The cottage has its own water supply directly from a spring.

The double doors from the kitchen open out onto a stone-flagged patio which has a couple of wooden and stone benches, as well as garden furniture. Fragrant fresh herbs grow outside the door - a delicious addition to your self-catering supper. The conservatory opens on to an additional terrace - perfect to sit with a glass of wine and a book. The cottage is surrounded by trees, making it private but not shaded. The meandering and informal nature of this beautiful Pembrokeshire retreat will make for a very memorable holiday.
