Valley View Cottages

About Valley View Cottages

Valley View Cottages: Traditional Wales with modern convenience.

We’ve named our cottages for the spectacular views of the West Wales countryside: farmland, woodlands and the famous River Teifi Valley.

Each of our four cottages is tastefully converted from 200-year old stone barns for year-round comfort and modern fixtures and appliances. The smallest cottage accommodates 2 people, and the largest accommodates six. (In total, we can accommodate 14 adults plus infants.) Each cottage has a private enclosed garden with patio, garden furniture, BBQ, and there is a secure play area for children.

We are located in the small village of Newchapel, close to the border of Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion in North Pembrokeshire. The rolling green hills are intersected by many streams and rivers—a peaceful landscape perfect for walking, cycling, or just relaxing. In addition, we are an easy distance from many great places to visit:

  • The famous Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion Coast Paths.
  • Beautiful beaches at Mwnt, Aberporth and Poppit Sands.
  • Preseli Mountains, home of the Stonehenge blue stones, and dotted with ancient burial mounds and standing stones
  • Colourful market towns of Cardigan and Newcastle Emyln.
  • Norman castles, museums, theme parks, and wildlife centres, to name a few.

You’ll have plenty of things to do; all on offer locally:

  • boat trips to view wildlife or for fishing
  • golf and links and park courses
  • horse-riding
  • canoeing
  • paddle-boarding
  • steam train ride
  • paintballing
  • coasteering

Come for a holiday in beautiful West Wales.
