Felin Hescwm - Self-catering house in Pembrokeshire
Dinas, Newport, SA42 0XL, Pembrokeshire
Wales,
Regno Unito
You'll feel free as a bird bowling down narrow lanes to photographer Jo and sculptor John's magical spot. Wild swimmers can jump in the millpond or nip down a sea pebble path to an (almost) private beach. You're on the coastal path so walkers will be happy, near arty Newport for galleries and cafés, you can hire kayaks in Cardigan Bay or take a ferry to Skomer Island. Return to your converted 18th-century cart shed (perfect for 2 - 3 grown ups but 4 can fit in) with postbox red doors and a stone seat in the garden by the waterfall and pond - great fun to picnic out here, or on your own balcony with sea views. Inside is upside down (living space on first floor, bedrooms with Welsh slate floors and underfloor heating and teeny but perfectly-formed wet rooms each downstairs). The hall is lined with books - pop a pound in the charity box - the open, airy living space has wooden floors, original art and sculpture, a ducky kitchen that could win a prize for 'craftmanship in a small space', Afghan and Tibetan rugs, antiques, squishy sofa and a big wood-burner. This won't suit people who want bustle, it's a place for curious souls, dreamers, artists, peace-seekers.

Local points of interest from Jo Reid & John Peck:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Jo Reid & John Peck:
- This is a simple yet luxurious cottage, sleep in Egyptian cotton sheets, under down duvets, to the sound of the waterfall. The perfect place for Bird watchers, Dolphin/Seal spotters, wild flower enthusiasts, Artists/Photographers and of course, You.
- Escape to this idyll, and forsake your car. 150 yds down our wooded path to Aberbach. The cove has everything, cliffs for scrambling, beautiful multi coloured pebbles, sand, rock pools, mussel beds and caves, and sometimes stunning beach art, have a go!
- This area offers a network of footpaths. 1st the magnificent coast path, which is backed up by small bus services, so you can choose to walk only one way. 2nd take one of the many paths and walk up into the Preseli hills behind us, simply breathtaking.
- Wonderful to relax in the garden, listening to the waterfall next to the old water mill. Explore the woodlands round the mill pond, and find the stone seats under the pines, looking out to sea, one of the great places for a sundowner and BBQ.
- Bring your own canoe, and tether it in the garden by the beach. Paddle round Fishguard bay, safe from the main tide rip. Explore inaccessible coves, inlets and caves. Be afloat amongst the sea birds and seals, pure magic in the early or late light.
- Further afield are boat trips to the islands, ruined castles, standing stones, bluestone quarry (for stone henge?), music/arts festivals, restaurants, cafes, galleries. Bessie's famous pub and the Bluestone brewery for a drink on a Cwm Gwaun walk.
