Discover Gamekeepers Cottage, nestled within the glorious Pembrokeshire countryside and just a few minutes’ walk from the quaint hamlet of Newchapel, with a fantastic pub nearby with local ales to sample. This unique and characterful chocolate box property was once the local gamekeepers cottage for Pentre Mansion, and has been in the same family for many years. This semi-detached cottage has been meticulously restored back to its former glory with traditional Welsh building methods.
2 miles away is the village of Abercych, where you can visit the local inn and enjoy truly superb food, specializing in local home cooked produce and set in a magnificent setting alongside the Cych River, where you can dine al-fresco on a warm summer’s day. The market town of Cardigan is around a 10 minutes’ drive away where you will find a plethora of boutique shops, cafes, gift shops and a theatre along with the coastal path that runs through Cardigan. Here you can join the 186 miles of Pembrokeshire National Park coastal footpath, where you can take in this truly beautiful coastline.
This characterful and quirky cottage has been finished to a good standard throughout and offers the perfect romantic retreat. As you enter this cottage you will see the owner’s efforts to retain the original features, including exposed stone, lime walls, original beams and quarry tiled flooring. Enjoy dining in front of the wood burner and then retiring to the cosy living room with a glass of wine, or enjoy sitting out on the patio beneath the stars. On the first floor the bedroom has been lovingly furnished complete with original wooden flooring and leading into an en-suite bathroom, where you can soak in the cast iron, roll-top bath whilst enjoying a good read - the ultimate in relaxation.
The Welsh Wildlife Centre and Teifi Marshes Nature Reserve, run by the Wildlife Trust, is really not to be missed, home to one of the best wetland sites in Wales. Cenarth Falls are just a 5-minute drive, and a short drive north is the market town of Cardigan, set around Cardigan Bay with a plethora of beaches like Mwnt, Poppit Sands and Newport Sands to name a few, which are ideal for dog walking, building sandcastles, fishing or sunbathing. The famous walled town of Tenby is around 50 minutes away. Beach 9 miles. Shop and restaurant 2 miles, pub 800 yards.

Had a wonderful few days staying at Gamekeepers cottage.
Had a wonderful few days staying at Gamekeepers cottage. Simple and full of character, so peaceful with amazing countryside views.The hot tub was great. The only negative was that we were unable to change the temperature and it was in fact quite cold.A perfect location for exploring this beautiful area.

We had a lovely stay at the gamekeepers cottage, very remote, however, places to visit near by such a little villages with nice cafes and village shops. We had a peaceful stay and would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet staycation. Very helpful and good communication with owner.

The cottage is small, but plenty big enough for us and our little dog.
The cottage is small, but plenty big enough for us and our little dog. The garden is big and so is the hot tub! The walks in the area are wonderful. We recommend Poppits Beach, Ffynnon Arms in Newchapel (good food and drink in easy walking distance), Ffynnon Falls, and walking the Pembrokeshire Coast Path.
