About this property
Resting on the outskirts of the pretty seaside town of Newport is this characterful, Pembrokeshire-stone, detached cottage Sea View. Boasting a large lawn garden with seating, perfect for spending the warmer months in, along with family-friendly facilities, this property makes the ideal escape any time of year. Arriving at the cottage, the spacious ground floor hosts plenty of communal quarters where you can spend some quality time with your loved ones. Step into the sitting room, boasting characterful white beams, and kick off your shoes before sinking into the sofa to watch TV while the wood burning stove provides a comforting amber glow. If you like to escape with a good book, the cottage hosts a charming snug, fit with a gas fire and quality furniture for an afternoon of tranquillity. From here, make you way into the kitchen to rustle up a tasty dinner for the family; the kitchen hosts an electric oven and gas hob, along with a handy dishwasher to make cleaning up a breeze. Gather your group in the conservatory and sit down to dine while gazing out at the sea views from the large windows. The conservatory is also home to a sofa and two armchairs, making it the ideal spot for your morning coffee with a view. Completing the ground floor is a convenient utility room so you can freshen up your clothes throughout your stay, as well as a handy cloakroom with toilet and hand basin. As the evening draws to a close, head upstairs to find the bedrooms; the master bedroom boasts an en-suite shower room and plenty of storage along with a double bed, while a further double and a twin rest on the first floor too. The bedrooms are serviced by a bathroom where you can soak the day away with a bubble bath. Back on the ground floor, make your way into the spacious garden which boasts beautiful sea views and furniture, perfect for enjoying your dinner al fresco, while the large lawned areas offer space for your four-legged friends to stretch their legs. If you don't fancy cooking one evening, head into Newport town centre to sample some of the local eateries. Tides Kitchen & Wine Bar offers a delicious fresh seafood menu, but if pub grub is more to your taste, give The Golden Lion Hotel a try. Newport beach is home to some of the glorious views in the area, overlooking dramatic clifftops with rolling greenery atop, you can spend a day in the sun, trying your hand at some new watersports on the calming shores. For days out while staying at Sea View, take a trip to Carreg Coetan and explore this historic site while encompassed by picturesque scenery. Children and animal lovers can enjoy a day at the Welsh Wildlife Centre, learning about the species found in the nearby Teifi Marshes Nature Reserve. The area is also a haven for antique enthusiasts, with the Carningli Centre boasting an eclectic range of antiques, restorations, books and art, right in the centre of the town. Further afield is the popular resort of Cardigan, with its delightful bay and the ruins of the 12th century Cardigan Castle standing prominently within the town, Cardigan makes for a lovely day out for all ages and tastes. Sea View is a tremendous property for a relaxing family break to west Wales.
The pretty coastal town of Newport in Pembrokeshire lies on the River Nevern and is home to a good selection of shops, pubs and restaurants, making it the ideal holiday destination year round. The town also hosts a magnificent golf course with far-reaching sea views, along with a lovely sheltered harbour.

The property was perfect for two families. Simply stunning.

We particularly loved the spacious âgarden roomâ with its sublime view of Dinas island, also the large lawned garden was a treat for the dog. Warning, be vigilant with dogs and little ones. The garden is secured by stock fence and gates to the drive, but there are a couple of single gates that give access to the front and the latches on these are broken â we had a heart stopping moment when our BC managed to slip through these, and escape onto the lane! Newport is a lovely place, with plenty of pubs and cafes â we made use of the Monday morning local produce market, great organic bread, and fresh veg. Just a 20 mins walk along the bridleways. The dog loved the expanse of Newport Sands, just down the road, and the many other stunning beaches around the coast (no restrictions during the winter). So much to see and do nearby, filled our days easily. We had a few issues on arrival, but by no way spoiled our wonderful time away.

Very clean throughout. Lots of attention to detail. Very spacious. Loved having the sun room to relax in during daylight hours and then cosying up in the lounge in the evening. We didn't even get to using the games room, which would provide a larger group with more space and fun too - our rescue dog would not have liked the foosball table noises! Fantastic and spacious garden which we, and our dog in particular, enjoyed - the lawn was well kept so paws were not muddy at all. Good location for a few mins drive into the town of Newport (and its pubs) and lots of places and sights to walk and explore within 30 mins. Only real downside was the noisy toilet flush in the en suite. Highly recommended and will go on our list of places we'd love to stay at again (which is very select and has only two places on it now!).
