Glas y Dorlan is a charming cottage praised for its fantastic setting, comfortable social spaces, and thoughtful touches like a welcome pack. While some guests reported issues with cleanliness and maintenance, the property's location and the well-maintained garden are consistently appreciated. The cottage's character and the surrounding area's beauty make it a recommended stay.
Mixed feedback on cleanliness, with several guests mentioning cobwebs and a mouldy smell in parts of the cottage, though the main living areas were found to be clean.
The location is highly praised for its beauty, proximity to the river, and the surrounding scenery, making it an ideal spot for nature lovers and those seeking tranquillity.
Guests found the beds comfortable and the social spaces welcoming. However, some discomfort was reported due to a damp smell and dated areas of the cottage.
The property offers a range of facilities, but several guests noted the absence of a washing machine and issues with maintenance. The newer extension received positive remarks, but the older parts were criticised.
The welcome pack with milk and Welsh cakes was appreciated, indicating thoughtfulness. However, it should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be provided on every occasion.
Newport 2 miles, Cardigan 8 miles. Nestled alongside the River Nevern is Glas Y Dorlan, a stunning extended 300-year-old cottage in Nevern, near Newport. With plenty of gated off-road parking, pet-friendly accommodation and an abundance of stunning original and traditional features including slate floors throughout combined with modern industrial elements, this cottage offers a happy marriage of old and new. Glas y Dorlan makes a homely and memorable base for your adventure to Pembrokeshire. Be welcomed into this well-thought-out property, discovering a characterful living/dining room with original exposed thick stone walls, high ceilings threaded with wooden roof beams and a warming woodburning stove, making this an ideal spot to relax and enjoy a movie marathon, or indulge in a hearty meal. There is a fitted kitchen as well as a stunning, contemporary second living/dining room with two sets of bifold doors, tasteful modern furniture, workstation and an industrial meets cottage vibe. Throughout the bedrooms, discover traditional iron frame beds, mixed with contemporary styling to create delightful spaces to rest your head, so choose between two king-size bedrooms, one with bifold doors and a modern en-suite shower room and a twin, serviced by a family bathroom. The owners are committed to making internal and external improvements and additions to the cottage each year so do come back to see the changes. With the sounds of the river rushing by, and a backdrop of mature shrubs and trees, the garden offers a tranquil space to relax in at the end of the day, as well as a swing seat with a view of the river, so why not dine alfresco or enjoy a tipple in the last of the evening sunshine? The garden also boasts a wonderful, wooden summerhouse with a glass balcony allowing guests to take in the river views. For the avid anglers, fishing rights is a wonderful bonus alongside a 150 yards single bank stretch of the river that boasts sewin and trout and which includes two good holding pools. Nevern is a delightful settlement resting close to the Pembrokeshire coast, offering a local pub, the Trewern Arms, walks beside the River Nevern and Nevern Church with its famous bleeding yew tree. For more amenities and attractions, head over to nearby Newport where there is a convenience store, as well as a selection of pubs and eateries, with options including The Golden Lion Hotel, Llwyngwair Arms, and The Canteen to name but a few. Newport also offers the family the chance to enjoy the seaside at Newport Sands and the sporting members of the group could play a round at Newport Links Golf Club. The historians can visit the stunning 5,500 year old Neolithic Burial Chamber at Pentre Ifan - truly one of the picture postcard images of Wales. The bustling market town of Cardigan is well worth a visit, with a High St of independent retail outlets and Cardigan Castle which hosted the first ever Welsh Eisteddfod in 1176. The wildlife lovers meanwhile can enjoy the nearby Welsh Wildlife Centre in Cilgerran or in season, take a boat trip out into Cardigan Bay to meet the resident bottle nosed dolphins. Enjoy all of this and so much more with a stay at the wonderful Glas Y Dorlan.
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.
