About this property
With super sea views from all rooms, this detached dormer bungalow has upside down living to make the most of the stunning coastal vista of Newport Beach, Morfa Head and the bay.
It’s just off Parrog Road in Newport/Trefdraeth and newly renovated. Parrog beach is a short walk away and the shops, restaurants and pubs are all within an easy 10 minute walk.
Newport Sands is a 3 mile drive or a pleasant half hour walk. There is an excellent 18 hole golf course overlooking the beach and wonderful walks can be had along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path.
If you can tear yourself away, Cardigan, Fishguard, Solva, St Davids and St Dogmaels are well worth a visit.

Of course we had a run around with the kids who were excited to find which bedroom was theirs but once settled in, we realised that it isnât clean at all. In the en-suite there was mould and the basin was filthy, it was just grime around the plug which one of us saw when brushing our teeth, not really what you want to see. Under the basin lip was just thick mould and grease. The kitchen wasnât clean, neither were the utensils. We had 6 people which we cooked for after washing everything, to then find the dishwasher is broken and just caused constant issues. Some of the external doors donât lock properly, mainly the balcony door. You canât leave the doors open during the day and thereâs no windows in the main bedroom, so if you shower in the morning, by the time you get home, all the bedding is damp as it has no where to go! Not to mention the pillows were yellow from sweat, which we found when we stripped the beds before leaving. Overall, and for the money, we thought it was quite poor condition. It looks lovely in the photos, and itâs been renovated really well but if you pay a premium price to stay in a âpremiumâ home, personally Iâd make sure itâs gleaming for the next guests. Im undecided if I would stay here again. We stay around this area 4-5 times a year and Iâd say this is the only time weâve had any issues. Really disappointing. If you can get past all of this, itâs a stunning place to be visiting and to us, itâs becoming home.
