A footpath runs next to the house, giving access to the surrounding countryside. The origin of the gorgeous Tan Y Castell Welsh cakes is to be found right in the kitchen of main house itself.
Tan Y Castell Cottage has been delightfully restored to its former glory and has been lovingly furnished to a high standard to offer the perfect family holiday or couple’s romantic retreat.

We love TanyCastell cottage and enjoyed this second visit as much as the last. We particularly appreciate the privacy, the peace and quiet and especially the hot tub. Narbeth is a lovely town with four antique shops and a good variety of eating places. We can recommend the Spanish tapas bar and The Angel for Sunday lunch.

Well off the beaten track but not far from all of the wonderful Pembrokeshire coast. The cottage has everything needed for a comfortable home from home and retreat at the end of the day. Especially the hot tub for easing aching legs.We would certainly recommend it as a base for exploring this part of Wales.
