Guests say
Gwelfor in Newport is a well-received holiday cottage, praised for its spaciousness, stylish decor, and prime location close to the beach and local amenities. Guests have enjoyed the property's suitability for large family gatherings and its proximity to friendly pubs and shops. The picturesque setting and comfortable furnishings contribute to a memorable stay, with many expressing a desire to return.
Most guests found Gwelfor clean and comfortable. However, a few mentioned issues such as unwashed cutlery and cobwebs, suggesting room for improvement in cleanliness standards. These seem to be isolated incidents rather than the norm.
The location is highly praised for its convenience, being a short walk from both the town and the beach. The local area is appreciated for its friendly atmosphere and good food options.
The majority of guests found the house extremely comfortable and suitable for multi-age family groups, with ample space and privacy. The cosy yet spacious environment was particularly appreciated during inclement weather.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and good socialising spaces. Some minor maintenance issues were noted, such as wobbly dining chairs and tricky locks. Recycling was also a point of confusion for some guests.
While guests have not specifically mentioned gifts, there is a suggestion that a welcome pack would have been appreciated. As there is no direct reference to gifts being provided or expected, it is not possible to score this category.
About this property
Gwelfor is a stylish, three-storey, six bedroom house in the popular seaside town of Newport. It is just a short walk to the centre of Newport, with its excellent choice of eateries, small shops, galleries and pubs.
A five minute walk leads you to Parrog beach, a favourite with children, boating enthusiasts and those with time to enjoy the glorious views. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path can also be joined here.
Across the Nevern estuary is Newport Sands, which can be reached, with care, by wading across at low tide, or by a longer walk via the iron bridge.
For fabulous views, take a walk up Carningli (Mount of Angels) behind Newport.
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 was perfect for an extended-family holiday. The only problem was the back gate lock wouldnât turn, meaning we couldnât access the house on the first day without climbing over the back gate (lucky my 70 year old hub still feels like an athlete

The weather was atrocious so the house was perfect to escape wind and rain, being comfortable, cosy yet spacious and very well equipped for our party of 6 adults and 3 children.
