About this property
Nestled on the peaceful outskirts of Dinas Cross, just a short stroll from the breathtaking Pembrokeshire coastline, lies Trewrach Cottage — a beautifully preserved 400-year-old stone cottage waiting to welcome you.
Perfect for families, beach lovers, walkers and anyone seeking a true countryside escape, this charming cottage offers a wonderful base from which to explore the magic of the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path and Preseli Hills. Set in quiet surroundings, you’ll often spot red kites, buzzards and kestrels circling overhead, while wildlife visitors — including badgers — can be seen outside the French door on the kitchen patio. Step into the warm and inviting sitting room, where the magnificent inglenook fireplace — complete with ancient stone bread oven and wood-burning stove — takes centre stage. Sink into comfortable seating, curl up by the wood burner, or use the underfloor heating and let the relaxation begin.
The well-equipped kitchen is fully furnished with kitchen appliances, making it easy to prepare delicious home-cooked meals. As you eat, enjoy watching the many birds that visit the feeders just 2 meters outside the door — and keep an eye out for the badger that often appears after dusk to feed at the door step.
After dinner, choose your evening: unwind with a book beside the fire, or head to your own private games room for friendly matches on the pool table, table football, table tennis and darts.
Sleep soundly in the two comfortable bedrooms — one double, one twin — both served by the family bathroom with bath and overhead shower. There’s also a handy ground-floor cloakroom for extra convenience.
Inside the cottage, you’ll find handy local information folders — including maps, walking guides and dog-friendly pub menus — so you can make the most of your stay from the moment you arrive.
Step out into your own private sanctuary. The large patio area is perfect for alfresco meals and lazy afternoons, while the orchard can be fully enclosed upon request, giving your four-legged friends plenty of safe, secure space to explore. There’s even a woodland path leading down to Aber Bach — a quiet, unspoilt beach — just a gentle 10-minute riverside walk away. Explore the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path from Aberbach Beach. With a stream nearby, please ensure that children are supervised.
A little further to the north is the popular town of Newport where you will find Newport Golf Club alongside Newport’s sandy beach and old harbour which has a wealth of history.
In Dinas Cross (1.4 miles away), you’ll find a village shop, petrol station and the welcoming Ship Aground pub, serving great food and offering a cosy log fire. Further afield, discover the golden sands and dramatic cliffs of Pwllgwaelod, the scenic walk around Dinas Island, the pretty harbour at Cwm yr Eglwys, and the historic sights of Fishguard — including the 18th-century Fishguard Fort and The Ocean Lab. The Fishguard tapestry which has been compared with the Bayer tapestry, is well worth a visit.
The scattered village of Dinas Cross has a well stocked mini market store and a pub, and nestles between the Preseli Mountains and the wonderful Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Pwll Gwaelod and Cwm-Yr-Eglwys beaches are both minutes away, both with breathtaking scenery offering the opportunity for tranquil days in perfect settings, and are almost unnoticed by the general public unless they leave the main route through the village, with there being a petrol station, two pubs a fish and chip shop, as well as a restaurant down at Pwll Gwaelod beach. Nearby Newport is a quirky seaside town steeped in history, with various shops, tea rooms and pubs and is also a great place to go boating. With castles, mills, craft centres and golf courses galore scattered all over this beautiful Welsh county, this is the perfect base for a break all year round.

The cottage itself is beautiful, it's well worth venturing into the woodland and stream behind the property, which feels like a fairy glenn. We took daily walks to the local cove alone the main path and each day saw a seal! The local wildlife here is fantastic. At the cottage we saw a wide variety or birds, a visiting fox, a toad and the icing on the cake, a badger! Make sure to leave the nuts along the patio each night to have chance at a glimpse of him/her. The games room was an added bonus, my partner and I enjoyed more than a few games of pool, table tennis and darts. We met Huw, the owner who was lovely and welcoming and clearly very proud of all the work that has gone into the cottage and gardens. And rightly so! Local places we can reccomend a visit to that are dog friendly: Fishguard fort (very small walk but worth a look,we combined this with a mooch around Fishguard and the harbour) Castell Henleys Iron Age Village, The coastal path near the cottage, Tenby (an hours drive, but worth it) and New Quay (about an hours drive as well but we went on a boat trip and managed to see a pod of dolphins). All in all a wonderful week! We well most certainly be returning! Thank you!

The cottage had everything you could need and alot more. Beautiful secluded location, but still close to local shops. The walk through the woodland at the end of the garden to the beach was stunning. We were kept busy feeding the birds, badger and fox that visited the bird table on the patio, to be able to watch a badger every evening was delightful. Our hosts were friendly and helpful, happy to share the history of the cottage and local area. Looking forward to a return visit next year.

The cottage is in a very secluded and peaceful place. It really felt like you were away from everything whilst being within driving distance of towns and beaches. There was lots of wildlife and the fox and badger visited every evening. The games room was a bonus during wet weather. Huw (owner) was very friendly and approachable but not intrusive at all. We would definitely return and recommend to others.
