Two bedroom stone cottage 700 yds from beach
Pencraig is ideally located for a great holiday or short break for up to four people in Pembrokeshire. It's a seven minute walk down the lane to the beach, and Dinas Island, more then once voted AA 'Walk of the Year' is just beyond. The cottage is neither overlooked or part of an estate or development. The beach and the whole Pembrokeshire coast is a natural attraction. The heather and hills in the National Park are just a mile or so away. When it comes to finding a good restaurant or local food there's no better town than Newport which is just 3 miles from the cottage. Newport has some of the best restaurants in the county, a fabulous beach and dunes, an 18 hole links golf course, unique boat club.
Pencraig is a stone cottage dating back a century or two. It has a nice log fire and is really comfortable and homely. The main bedroom has double, and the second room twin beds. The living room has two sofas, easy chair and TV in one part, and a dining table next to the kitchen which well equipped. The bathroom is modern, with full size bath and shower. Rentals are very reasonable priced and I will match the price of any comparable property.
Situated midway between Newport and Fishguard, Pencraig offers the charm of a country cottage together with modern facilities. Visitors love the location and atmosphere of Pencraig, which is on rent at very attractive rates. Contact the owner, Mike Donovan, today!
About The Owner
I'm an international agricultural journalist, and founder and editor of Practical Farm Ideas magazine. Pencraig was bought when I sold the dairy herd, as a lifetime country retreat where the family - I have four grown-up children and grandchildren - can get to and enjoy privacy in a way that's impossible in hotels, parcs and other mass-market venues.
The Owner purchased this cottage in 1996
Why The Owner chose Dinas Cross
We found Pwllgwaelod beach shortly after moving to West Wales, and thought it magical, but for years were unable to re-discover it. Then we found Pencraig was for sale, and there was no question that this was the place to buy. It's small, but plenty large enough for a family of four to get a great holiday.
Prices: for some reason the rate list insists on saying the rates are 'From £...' . It's not 'from'. That's the price we ask you to pay. There are no meters, so gas, electric TV etc all included. No wi-fi - sorry.
What makes this cottage unique
"This place hasn't changed in 40 years" a passer-by remarked to me when I was doing the grass last year, and he's not far wrong. The coast is uncrowded and just not really discovered by the holiday industry, and long may that continue.

Wonderful!

Fantastic to return!
Second time here and as good as the first time we visited! Felt like we came home when we visited again. Planned to use Pencraig as a base to walk the first part of the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path and it is ideally based for this part of the coast, central to so many walks and so comfortable to come home to, log fire and chilled wine waiting! 12 hours sleep in the comfiest bed. Thank you, Mike!
It was a nice cottage
WERE did have a great time
Good value
Easy and relaxing cottage. Good position for coastal walks and beaches
Very comfortable, great location.
Perfect getaway. Had everything we needed and a only a short walk down to Pwllgwaelod to watch the sunset. Close to the road but it is not busy at all. Combi boiler meant we had hot water and heating when we needed it and the shower is powerful.
Cost cottage with pretty views of wild flowers and trees in a great location for walks.
The cottage was well equipped and at the end of the village so few passers by. Pretty garden. Mike was very helpful and generous. Comfortable double bed.
Quiet location, not far from beach and great walks.
Quiet, well equipped cottage, could do with a bit of a spring clean, but pleasant enough.
Close to a nice beach and great scenery and easy to access walking trails.
Limited phone signal and no wifi, great if you really want to get away from it all.

Southern Wales region
The north coast of Pembrokeshire has cliffs and coves, places to explore and enjoy. Visitors will find attractive and affordable places to visit and eat in. The National Park includes a swathe of open country in the Prescelli hills which are very close to Dinas village (1 mile). Pwllgwaelod is a sandy cove facing Fishguard bay, and Cwm-yr-Egwys a similar cove facing Newport Bay. These beaches provide safe swimming and have natural shelter. The area has plenty of history - ancient chapels, monuments and burial sites, and St Davids Cathedral.
Pwllgwaelod
Riding, boats and swimming, walking, and some great off-road bike trails make N Pembs a place for where you can enjoy activities at reasonable prices and without crowds. There's a lot of culture, Brynhenllan village having a number of well known artists as residents. The St Davids music festival in the cathedral, the Fishguard Music Festival and other music activities such as Cardigan Eisteddfod, male voice choirs all provide different and memorable evenings. Being outside busy Newport can be a bonus in the summer season. You can borrow my 14ft Skipper dinghy if you're a competent sailor. There is a bike at the cottage, and another available.
