Delightful cottage in a peaceful Pembrokeshire village

This is a lovely, well-equipped and very comfortable cottage. The hidden garden is charming and we appreciated the generous parking space - and excellent WiFi. It’s a great base for exploring the coastal path north of St David’s - and the Presili Hills. The proximity of The Sloop and ‘The Shed’ (quite excellent fish and chips) is a real bonus.

Lovely New Years Break

Just back from a 5 day stay over New Years which we thoroughly enjoyed. The cottage is comfortable and peaceful but located near to everything you need. The weather has been a bit wild with the recent storms but managed a couple of good days out with the dogs. Communication with Nick was spot on and we had no issues at all. Would highly recommend a stay here.

Idyllic little cottage

Had a great 3 night stay, with brucie bonus of an early check in on Friday. loved the cottage, so much charm but all the mod cons. Super cosy lounge, really comfy bed, small but perfectly formed garden and the surrounding area beautiful. Great to be able to start your walks from the cottage, we did 2 fab circular walks, courtesy of the map displayed in the cottage, even managing to navigate passed The Sloop Inn (lovely meal there Sat night also) and only a short dap to St Davids. All in all, highly recommended, thank you both :-)

Lovely well equipped bungalow

A lovely bungalow which is very well equipped with everything you need for a relaxing self catering stay. The host, Nick, responded quickly to any questions and provided lots of very helpful information on things to do in the area. The location is in a quiet village but is an ideal base for travelling around the beautiful Pembrokeshire countryside.

Bwthyn Graig holiday - July 2021

We really enjoyed our stay at Bwthyn Graig. Communication with the owner was fantastic and they made every effort to make our stay as good as it could be. The back garden is very private and has a lot of feathered visitors. The WiFi allowed us to still have communication with the outside world when we needed it. I would recommend this property to anyone who wants to explore the amazing Pembrokeshire coastline.

Little Gem

Booked this short break as we can’t go on our usual overseas, however what a little gem we found. Perfect little cottage with everything you need, you can even take your pet. It was spotlessly clean, and I’m fussy when I go away.. not one fault I could pick with this little cottage. Mr and Mrs Carter send you all the info you need and there’s also a folder in the cottage with little places of interest.. I highly recommend a stay here, we will definitely like to go back in the foreseeable future.

Fabulous

Had a fabulous 4 night stay at this wonderful cottage. It really is a home from home. Clean, surprisingly spacious and a lovely little garden. Louise & Nick were wonderful hosts. The milk and welsh cakes they left was a very kind thought. The decor is great and it felt very homely. The guest information was very helpful. We made it all but one of the beaches suggested. The bed and pillows was extremely comfortable so much so I checked the make of the pillows so I can get some for home. Great location for exploring the surrounding area and for trips to the Sloop Inn and Shed. A great stay and we hope to return soon. xxxx

About the host

Hosted by Nick & Louise Carter

Why they chose this property

We first visited this part of Pembrokshire in 2007 for a friends wedding - initially just intending to camp for a long weekend before moving on. The wedding, location and weather were all brilliant and we ended up staying for two weeks! We fell in love with the area and have come back every year since. We booked a summer holiday in Bwthyn Graig in 2016 and loved both the cottage and its location in sleepy Llanrhian, next to many of our favourite places. When the housekeeper mentioned in passing that it was on the market we started a dream that became reality 9months later! For a perfect beach day our tried and tested formula is to take the 20min walk to Traeth Llyfn, spend the day on the beach but return via Porthgain (20min walk along stunning coast path) and the inevitable refreshments at the wonderful Sloop Inn, whilst the kids burn off any energy they might have left on the famous/wonky football pitch. Hopefully they'll have some left for the 15-20min walk back to Llanrhian, following the footpath across the fields.
