About this property
Newcastle Emlyn 3.6 miles. This picturesque double-fronted end of terrace cottage rests in the small village of Capel Iwan, a little settlement in South Wales not far from the bustling town of Newcastle Emlyn.

Step into this homely abode and be met with a delightful sitting area to your right, where you can settle down before the warming woodburning stove as you watch a movie on the Smart TV, a quiet evening to relax after a busy day. Opposite here is the dining area which is host to a beautiful wood table, gather here for board games, mealtimes and planning your activities. Travel two steps up into the spacious kitchen, where light-wood worktops sit atop cream units holding a fabulous range of appliances including an electric oven and hob as well as a dishwasher, so you can whip up some fantastic dishes and not worry about the washing up afterwards! Sit at the bench-style dining seating in here for your breakfast before heading into the conservatory to relish the morning sun settled on one of the soft seats with a cup of coffee or tea in hand. Let the dogs have a run around first thing in the enclosed garden, this area is a delightful feature in summer offering somewhere private to get some fresh air. Upstairs on the first floor, you are afforded with the choice of three bedrooms, including a king-size, a double and a single, all with ample space and quality furnishings, with the latter two rooms even benefitting from dual-aspect windows creating a bright and airy aura.

We were so looked after by the owner, Jenny, who was very accommodating and friendly - her homemade cake was delicious! House was very clean and warm and had everything we needed. Beds were so comfy and inviting, slept like an angel the whole week. Thankfully the weather was on our side and got out each day to explore the area. Would totally recommend this place !

We arrive to a homemade cake, bottle of wine, milk and eggs. There is plenty of walks around the cottage with scenic views, or plenty to do a short drive away.
