Cilhendre, Holiday Cottage Newport, Sleeps 8, 4 bedrooms, bathrooms

Cilhendre, a charming Welsh cottage positioned down a side street in central Newport, is a great choice as a base for getaways in North Pembrokeshire. Accommodating up to 8 with 2 dogs, this holiday home is perfect for family trips and activity breaks with Newport Sands Beach, the Coast Path and various attractions nearby as well as the town’s shops, restaurants and pubs.  Built of stone from the nearby castle around the 17th Century, this property was extended in the 19th Century into a pub but now stands as a traditional holiday home - deceptively spacious and bursting with original features. Picture wooden floors, ceiling beams, comfortable sofas, antique furnishings and a warming wood burner in the lounge. Cilhendre is excellently equipped with a kitchen Rayburn and a ground-floor ensuite double bedroom. To the rear, French doors from the breakfast room opens onto a sunny secluded patio. The outside space is then completed with a lawn - easily the most popular spot in the cottage during the summer holidays, especially favoured by children and pets. Once home to Welsh author, Menna Gallie, you can see why the pretty location here might have inspired her creativity. As for activities on offer nearby, the list is extensive with something for everyone. Newport Links Golf Course offers 18 holes with beautiful sea views over Newport Sands, which is the go-to beach for surfing and kitesurfing. Newport Parrog Beach is best for boating with canoeists and kayakers flocking here to paddle out along the coast. Children will enjoy days out at Castell Henllys nearby to experience Iron Age life at this replicated fort.  Walkers will be in their element with a stay at Cilhendre and the options nearby are plenty.  Ramble the Pembrokeshire Coast Path to tour Dinas Island and the River Nevern where you might sight rare birds, hike to the top of Carn Ingli for 360-degree coastline views or stroll under a canopy of leaves at Ty Canol Woods, home to Pentre Ifan. Out of season last minute bookings at a reduced price, please call 01437 767600 for further information.
