About the home

Pencwm is a self catering cottage sleeping up to twelve plus cots, although also cosy enough for smaller parties to feel comfortable all the year round. It is a perfect holiday destination for short breaks, longer escapes, family and friends’ gatherings, and special occasions. Pencwm is also extremely child friendly and children of all ages love the freedom to play and explore within our grounds

Pencwm has a 4-star rating from Visit Wales. There are six bedrooms, one of which is a twin bedded room on the ground floor. There is a cloakroom with large basin and wc downstairs, and two further bathrooms upstairs, one with shower, basin and wc, the other with bath with shower over, basin and wc. All the upstairs bedrooms have views onto the surrounding countryside with the Preselis in the distance.

The well equipped kitchen is the heart of the farmhouse with an oil fired AGA providing warmth and superb cooking facilities, and a dining table to seat twelve. There is a walk-in larder, wooden fitted units, plus fridge freezer, microwave / multi oven, dishwasher, small TV / DVD, ipod and dartboard! The washing machine / dryer is in the downstairs cloakroom.

We have eight acres of hay meadows and a three acre water meadow for you to roam and enjoy together with a woodland garden containing a pond and a variety of native and planted flowers, shrubs and trees. A shallow stream runs through the yard where we have an original welsh longhouse and a stable block with loft.

The West Wales / Pembrokeshire / Ceredigion region

We are situated right on the border of the three counties of West Wales and beautiful Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion countryside and coastal scenery surround the house. We are close by the Pembrokeshire National Coastal Park voted second best coastal path in the world by National Geographic readers in 2010. The Welsh Wildlife Centre is also nearby. This is an area of historic Celtic sites, rugged small beaches and expansive golden sands. There are many ancient castles and Welsh folklore and legends abound. The Welsh language is widely spoken. We have a wealth of local talented artists, craftsmen and organic food producers . Carmarthenshire is known as the garden of Wales and hosts the National Botanical Gardens with Aberglasney nearby, together with numerous natural gardens to visit throughout the three counties. We now have our own racecourse situated at Ffoslas, near Llanelli.

The Cardigan / Crymych area

We are situated on a hilltop, a mile outside the village of Glandwr. The nearest pub is three miles away in Llanglydwen and the nearest village is Crymych, 5 miles away in the heart of the Preseli Hills where there is a leaisure centre with indoor pool. There are beaches to the North, South and West, the nearest 20 minutes away in Poppet. Numerous outdoor activity centres provide facilities for all types of watersports, including coasteering, plus mountainbiking, trekking to name but a few. Oakwood Theme Park, the Bluestone Park and Lagoon are 30 minutes away. There is an abundance of wildlife around here too, including buzzards, wild ducks and heron on the pond, owls, badgers and various species of bat. The market town of Narberth to the south has a good selection of smaller shops with great foodie options and interesting craft outlets. The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park organises all types of activity days for children and adults throughout the year.

“Lovely house, super large garden” Family holiday, ages ranging from twins of 20 months to OAPs. House was spacious and clean lovely big kitchen for everyone to sit and eat. Good sized lounge and conservatory. Bedrooms were... more

“Lovely house in a lovely location - great for all the family” The holiday was a family reunion with people aged from 4 to 74, and Pencwm fit the bill for everyone. We had a great stay and Lorna made us very welcome with thoughtful attention to details such as a welcome pack including local produce, and plenty of wood and coal for cosy fires when needed.. The children loved the freedom to roam the land, play on the swing and feed the donkeys, whilst the grown ups revelled in the peace and quiet. Pencwm is not very close, but then not very far from anywhere. It is very peaceful,and provides a great location from which to visit the Pembrokeshire coast, local towns such as Narbeth and also Oakwood theme park.

“fabulous cottage, wonderfully helpful owner and a brilliant birthday weekend!” We had a perfect weekend from start to finish. Lorna went out of her way to help with the booking process and with helping me make arrangements for the group whilst we were there. The cottage was toasty and spotlessly clean when we arrived and nibbles were waiting for us too! We had a dog with us and he had as much fun as we did. Beautiful area to explore but the real coal fire helped with the rainy days! Make sure you say hello to the donkeys too, they were lovely! The only piece of advice I have is you need to keep a very close eye out for the sign for the house at night as we did go past it but googlemaps is pretty accurate. Will definitely be back for my birthday next year and hopefully again after that!

“Excellent retreat” The welcome we received on arrival was very warm and genuine from Lorna. The cottage was everything we could of asked for, even though its location was a bit more isolated than we thought and the seaside further away than anticipated , I don't know if that's our townie outlook that we expect everything on our doorstep ?
