“Amazing property in a beautiful location, perfect for a family and friends getaway.”

Communication was excellent, instructions were clear, and the property was perfect from the moment we arrived. As a group of friends (and our growing families!), we go away each October and have done for several years. This was comfortably the nicest property we have stayed at so far. Plenty to do in the local area, with beautiful beaches, castles and plenty for children too. Our dog particularly enjoyed the local Newport beach! Thanks so much for a wonderful stay.

“The house is a little off the beaten track but in a great position - very peaceful and with wonderful views down to the sea from the lounge, dining room and terrace.”

Our friend's dog loved the space to run around in the little wood and field. It's also in a great position for walks along the coast or the surrounding countryside. It was one of the best equipped houses we've stayed in - big pans for catering, plenty of empty cupboards to put your own food in etc. Once we are back 'home' for the day, we like to stay put with a glass of wine and good meal and we could enjoy the evening light over the bay whilst eating. There were plenty of games and jigsaws too for a wet day - thankfully we didn't have many of those!

“A lovely house in a beautiful setting.”

What a view to wake up to and what a stunning hilltop vista for a sunset (assuming the Welsh sun comes out at any point!) The house is great for a large group while the spacious kitchen can become a dance floor when preparing your celebratory family supper.

“From the moment we arrived we were thrilled with every aspect of Pen Y Myndd.”

The property itself is beautiful, solid stone, with huge and bountiful spaces to gather, relax, eat and take a moment in. Everything you may require is thought of, and the utilities and gadgets are all top notch. The grounds are wonderful to discover, from woods, pastures, spongey, spongey lawns and orchards….. AND THEN THERE IS THE VIEW!!!! From the drive up, to the terrace, from many windows, from the garden, the view is just breathtaking… which leads on to the sunsets. So many stunning pictures taken, but none truly captured the beauty. Just to sit and ponder that ever changing vista and light. It felt like an inner reset button and been pushed.

“We had a lovely time staying at Pen Y Mynydd.”

The house has everything you need and more. The outdoors is perfect for children and safe to explore. The access is by a steep and single lane track but we had no difficulties, even managing an Asda online food delivery as we arrived. The wooden stairs to the lounge took a bit to get used to , need to take extra care especially the kids. Plenty games to play, of which Chameleon is a must.

“Bery nice place to stay, with a beautiful view to wake up to.”

Host very approachable. Plenty of space for everyone. Only one suggestion to go forward, it would be great to have a designated space to have a fire outside, but we are not complaining as we were content with the lovely fireplace inside.

“We were a large family party with young children.”

The location and layout particularly suited our needs as young early risers could be taken to the front living area not disturbing the rest of the family. The children loved the outside areas for playing in safety. The house was really well equipped with quality items covering every need. The only problem we found was the hot water wasn’t capable of coping with large numbers so we had to boost the hot water frequently to cover our needs. All in all we had a fabulous time together.

“A true home from home!”

Beautifully & tastefully presented. Kitchen is equipped to a v high standard & with quality pots, pans, cutlery. A plethora of glasses, cups on display on large shelves in a modern way. Small detail like these make all the difference. Kettle good quality etc...! The house is steeped in tradition, yet has really modern, practical touches. The house has been given a lot of love by the owners. Bedrooms are decorated to real country comfortable style. The outdoors areas are enchanting. Lots of bird life too around in the abundance of trees / garden grounds ..... Great for bird watchers! Views are wonderful. Lots of great walking to be had and explored all around the Pem coast. Dogs had an amazing time and were safe in the confines of the grounds.

“A fantastic property with a fabulous view.”

Very well equipped and everything you could want is catered for. Lovely grounds to explore - I just wish we had longer there for the children to make use of the walks through the woods and fields. Highly recommended.

The property

Set in an idyllic, elevated position in Dinas Cross, in the Pembrokeshire National Park lies Pen Y Mynydd, a fabulous farmhouse conversion.

Sharing an idyllic spot with a viewpoint of outstanding natural beauty, the 7 acres of private land has pasture, a meadow and private woodland walks.

It perfectly combines the breathtaking 180 degree sea views and a sense of wildness, yet is just a 10 minutes drive to Newport and Fishguard.

Boasting tasteful décor, picture-perfect sea views, a spacious garden and a wealth of home comforts, this stunning property makes the ideal escape for a family or group of friends looking to getaway in style.

On arrival, a private driveway leads you to ample parking before stepping into your home from home for your trip.

Step into the kitchen/diner, which is fitted with top-quality appliances for your culinary support.

From here, the dining table for ten makes a group dinner a relaxing affair; have the chef of the group cook up a storm to enjoy with a bottle of wine as conversation flows.

Make your way up to the galleried sitting room, home to two L-shaped sofas to sink into while you watch a film, or if you prefer to cosy up in front of a fire, head down the hallway to the snug.

When sleep calls, six bedrooms offer you a space to rest; three doubles lay on the ground floor for the adults of the group, while two twins and a single, ideal for any children in the family, rest on the first floor.

Completing the interior is a combination of bathroom configurations, including walk-in showers, a bath, and a utility area.

Take advantage of the sea views with drinks alfresco; the grounds are ideal for exploring, with far-reaching sea views to admire and incredible opportunities for star gazing.

The abundant wildlife can include owls, buzzards, badgers, foxes and rabbits so the young and young at heart can enjoy this harmony with nature.

If you don't feel like cooking, head to nearby Newport's many eateries such as the Golden Lion or Castle Inn.

Heading inland, visit Castell Henllys Iron Age Village and the remarkable 5,500 year old Pentre Ifan Neolithic Burial Chamber for an iconic picture postcard moment.

Take a stroll along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and visit Newport Sands where the children and doggie members of the family will have a geat time on its expanse of sands.

A walk around Dinas Head from Pwllgwaelod Beach to Cwm-Yr-Eglwys will offer stunning views with the latter offering another moment to savour, at the romantic ruins of St Brynach's Church, right on the coastline.

Visiting Fishguard, take in the beauty of Lower Town where the harbour played host to Hollywood classics such as Gregory Peck's Moby Dick and Dylan Thomas' under Mild Wood, featuring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.

Head into town, where the story of the Last Invasion of Mainland Britain in 1797 and of Welsh heroine Jemima Nicholas is told in the Town Hall.

Then have a hearty meal in the Royal Oak on the square where the Napoleonic French signed their surrender all those years ago!

For the more adventurous, the mythical Preseli Hills, with its connection to the Bluestone of Stonehenge offers a range of walking and hiking options, offering great rural and coastal views.

For an unforgettable Pembrokeshire holiday with your favourite people, choose Pen Y Mynydd.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £500.
