Ol y Don is a gorgeous family home set on the banks of the Nevern Estuary. Spacious, light living spaces and expansive private gardens give the feeling of utter escapism and time out. Ol y Don is perfect for bringing the family and your four legged friends who can roam freely in the secure garden. Just outside the front gate, is access straight to the estuary that leads to Newport Bay & Parrog. (Jetty jumping from the Parrog in the summer months has become somewhat a local tradition, so don’t forget your wetsuit!)
Once inside Ol y Don, there is ample space. The large oak kitchen and dining area is perfect for those long lazy mornings where the only thing you have to worry about is making sure you have your favourite papers and the croissants are warming in the Aga.
Cosy up on the big squashy sofa in front of the wood burner with your favourite film, or bring your favourite board game and see how many times you can win.
If the weather is gorgeous, head out to the patio with a G&T and whilst the children run riot, put your feet up and relax listening to nothing but the sound of the sea.
