What a lovely review so glad that you enjoyed your stay.
Beautiful cottage, renovated in a quirky way, with lots of attention to detail and interesting things everywhere to look at. Comfy beds, lovely linen and throws, and fabulous walks from your doorstep. Would heartily recommend.

Thank you for your lovely review, glad you enjoyed the stay.
Beautiful cottage with tonnes of character. Lovely owner. Good value. It had everything you needed for a comfortable stay (for cooking, cutlery, hair dryer, etc..). Stunning views of rural Wales. We will definitely be back!

Thank you for your lovely review, we are delighted that you had everything you needed at Abermawr Cottage, hope to see you again next year
Good
Clean, comfortable and modern fittings. Walking distance to the beach. Good pub in local village. Remote but not too far from amenities
Friendly welcome from the owner (just up the road). The quirky internal fittings mostly worked fine. Things like cupboards not closing properly were just part of the fun but poor-fitting curtains had been commented on before and the owner hadn't fixed them. The lighting was generally good but poor for reading (especially older eyes !). A smart TV would have eliminated the need for a TV box for which there wasn't really room. TV reception was good, mobile much as you'd expect in a rural wooded valley. Hot water, WC etc worked perfectly. Great walks in this unspoilt area. Note that the orientation of the cottage made sitting outside better in the morning than evening (in spring at least). Generally an experience not to be missed.

From the owner:- Just to update that new catches have been put on the cupboard doors so that they all now close and the curtains in the master bedroom have been altered.
Fabulous - loved the upcycling.
To appreciate this cottage you really have to stay there. Private beach 15 minutes walk away. Farmers Arms pub an easy half hour walk across fields. Coastal footpath with its isolated beaches caves and outstanding scenery. You don't need to use your car except for shopping. Cottage itself is a dream. More or less total isolation with no noise except wildlife.
Absolutely loved this cottage. It is tucked away down winding country lanes, an adventure to get there, but only a couple of minutes drive from the local village. A 10-15min walk down the hill and through the National Trust woods brings you out to the local bay/beach, amazing. We loved the quirky features and details in the cottage, had everything you need. Is a wonderful place to go for a family holiday with so many activities to do and some great food and local restaurants. We would definitely consider going back. The owner lives just up the road and was really helpful and friendly suggestions some local restaurants to try.
This is a beautiful holiday home in a fantastic location. It was really well equipped, perfect for our family including everything you need when travelling with a baby and young children. There is lots to do in the local area, with lovely walks from the cottage to the coastal path. The nearest beach is beautiful, an easy walk away, and the approach to it through the National Trust woodlands took us back to New Zealand! We can't wait to visit again.
Ed's house is a gem. Its unique interior is an enrichment for people who want to relax and feel good. There is everything you need for lovely holidays. We had a wonderful time hiking the coastal path and relaxing on the beach. We will be back!
The place was immaculate, stylish and very comfortable. Fantastic location, loved the fact we could walk to the coastal path and forget about the car for the day. Would highly recommend.
We were charmed by this rustic house and its thoughtful interior design. The property is well maintained and has an inviting atmosphere. The facilities were all good and we loved spending evenings in front of the rustic woodburner. The scenic coastline is only a short walk away and we have found plenty of nice pubs! A great find altogether
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. Ed has made it comfortable, stylish and interesting while keeping it practical and to live in. Everything in this newly restored property was to a very high standard right down to the fine detail of the hotel quality bedlinen. Everything has been so thoughtfully done and we wanted for nothing during our stay. The walk to the sea through the woods was enchanting (even on a wet January day) and really was the icing on the cake for us and the dogs. The dog room was a real bonus and meant that we could leave them to dry out before they came in to the house after muddy walks and swims in the sea! On our First night we took the short trip to the Farmers arms and within minutes we were chatting with the friendly locals and staff and made to feel very welcome. The surrounding areas was beautiful with lots of rugged coastline, pretty fishing villages and golden bays. My only critique is that the photos don't really do the place justice. We are really looking forward to coming again 10 out of 10 from us! Lela, Al, Moss and Meg x
Tucked away in an idyllic setting, this lovingly renovated single storey character home embodies modern rustic style and sets the scene for rest and relaxation.
In March 2018 Abermawr Cottage was listed in The Times as a recommended place to stay with family.
Located on a peaceful leafy hilltop within walking distance of twin beaches Abermawr and Aberbach, this is a characterful cottage (known locally as Pen yr Allt) full of interest and style you can't fail to be charmed by it.
Period features blend seamlessly with modern comforts from the timber floors, Jotul woodburning stove and deep set cottage windows to the exposed stone walls and wooden beams high in what was the crog loft.
A delightful bright and airy open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room invites relaxation - throw open the patio doors and listen to a chorus of bird. Abermawr Cottage is a wildlife haven and great for bird watching.
Better still on warm days move onto the sunny terrace and while away the hours in blissful contentment reading a good book while sipping a favourite tipple and admiring the pretty wild woodland garden.
After busy days on the beach and coastal path, spend lazy evenings sharing locally sourced holiday meals and conversation at the rustic dining table.
The three cosy cottage bedrooms invite rest and relaxation with two bathrooms across the hallway all on one level.
Perfect at anytime of the year, the incredibly peaceful location and bespoke interiors make this a unique and very special holiday hideaway.
3 Bedrooms sleeping a maximum of 6 adults. 1 Kingsize, 1 Double and 1 Twin all on the ground floor.

The dramatic coastal scenery, flower and wildlife are what make Pembrokeshire one of the world's best holiday destinations (National Geographic voted Pembrokeshire the 2nd best coastal destination in the world!). Splendid at all times of year, the explosion of colour with the spring flowers is something to behold!

Porthgain Village and harbour
Porthgain was once a prosperous nineteenth century industrial harbour which exported slate from local quarries at Porthgain and Abereiddi. Now the village is popular for water sport enthusiasts - boaters, rowers, fishermen and canoeists - their activities overlooked by relics of the industrial past.
The village can be busy in summer. It is on the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, served by the Strumble Shuttle (the local bus service) and offers the visitor galleries and a gift shop.

When you have seen the coastline from the coastal path complete the experience by going to sea. The Pembrokeshire coast is Britain's only coastal National Park and is a treasure-trove of birds and flowers, fish and marine mammals.
Take a trip round Ramsey Island. Boats for both the brave and the timid leave from St Justinians and will take you round the Island and out to sea - or to land and spend the day wandering this amazing, rugged Island. Crews complete the experience by giving a wealth of local information - it is the experience of a lifetime!
Fishguard Town and The Last Invasion Tapestry
Fishguard Farmers Market is held in the Fishguard Town Hall every Saturday and a weekly market every Thursday. There are delicious local produce and crafts on offer and the market is well worth a visit.
Upstairs in the Town Hall the gallery contains the remarkable Last Invasion Tapestry. Made in 1997 to commemorate the bicentenary of the 1797 invasion by the French - the last time the British mainland was invaded! This amazing piece of work was created by local needle workers and tells the story in the style of that told by the famous Bayeux Tapestry.
