The house is by the sea at Newport Parrog (harbour) in the Pembrokeshire National Park. It is by the Coastal Footpath about 15 minutes walk from the centre of Newport. Newport is an ancient borough in the heart of the National Park set between the Preseli Hills and the sea. There are a variety of useful shops as well as galleries and restaurants. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. There are walks in all directions - to Dinas Head one way, round the estuary the other (good for bird watching) or up onto the Preseli hills.

By car the whole of the Pembrokeshire peninsula is within easy reach. Boats to the islands off the coast are great fun - try Puffin watching on Skomer. Visit Pentre Ifan, the largest group of standing stones in Wales, to be found on the hills overlooking Newport. In the house you will find an information binder and also brochures and leaflets. The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park has some of the most beautiful coastline in Europe

First holiday at Erw Wen

Review Submitted: June 22, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
This was our first holiday at Erw Wen.We arrived as three generations in a family with 3 dogs. The property was immaculate, spacious and very well furnished. We felt immediately at home and the following morning we were able to appreciate the superb views and enjoy the spacious, well kept garden. Local amenities were all within easy walking distance and the local restaurants were of an excellent standard. Chris, who lives nearby, was extremely amenable, and helpful with advice on local activities. Overall a 5 star holiday. Thank you.

Owner's Response: We are delighted that this family enjoyed their holiday - in fact we rarely (if ever) get a less positive reaction. Teresa and Brendan.

Review Submitted: April 6, 2011 Date of Stay: October 2010
German:

Hallo,

wir sind im Oktober 2010 in Wales gewesen - das Haus lag herlich! Die Lage super ruhig und entspannt. Die Eirnichtung großzügig und mehr als den Preis wert. alles war sauber und gut gereinigt! Der Kontakt zu den Vermietern und dem Verwalter vor Ort war einwandfrei!

Besonders morgens am Frühstückstisch zu sitzten und nach draußen zu schauen in diese Natur war ein super Start in jeden Tag.
Meine Famile und ich sagen: immer gerne wieder!

English:

Everything was fine - we like the house and the nature around is magical. To get breakfast with looking outiside it´s the best starting for a day.
The rooms are clean and in the house there ist erverything we need!

Around the cottage it´s very silent and almost no cars.

My family and I say - everytime again!

AN EARLY SPRING DELIGHT AT NEWPORT

Review Submitted: April 5, 2011 Date of Stay: March 2011
We spent a few days at Erw Wen in March this year and thoroughly enjoyed it. The house is very spacious , comfortably furnished and well maintained but its trump card is the fabulous location overlooking the estuary and less than 50 yards/metres to the water's edge.

The garden is enormous and must be great on summer evenings.

The owners were most helpful when booking and throughout with our queries. The only snag we encountered on the first day or two of our stay was trying to get the hang of the Aga but we did get better as the week progressed and with the help of the Aga cookbook.

We liked Erw Wen so much we are booking a two week break in the autumn.
Owner's Response: Thanks for mentioning that cooking on an Aga is different, but not that difficult to pick up! We keep a set of Aga cooking books in the house. Most people find the experience of cooking on such a wonderful traditional cooker is part of the holiday.

A romantic getaway

Review Submitted: January 18, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2007
My wife and I spent an all-too-short week at ErwWen - it was one of the most pleasant times we have had together. The pictures and description don't do it or the location any justice. I understood it was close to the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path but its literally a 2 minute walk to the picturesque Parrog (which is a sort of harbour I believe) and a truly delightful 15minute walk along the estuary to the village. We enjoyed walking in for a paper every morning and the ever-changing state of the tide in the estuary, the sea-birds and quaint little village's day-to-day everyday life and quiet coffee shops were something special. The coastal path provides an easy walk to and past the village to the East and a more strenuous and very rewarding walk along the cliff tops to the West where thoughtfully placed seats abound looking over delightful coves. All very peaceful.
The owners have recently added a huge room with sea views all along the back of the house. We ate all our meals with surfable waves rolling in across the beach in the distance and allways that sound of the sea... gulls and waves.
The accomodation was very adequate for a large family or separate families. Just the two of us and a part-time visitor (my son) rattled around in its corridors. The modern power showers and the ancient AGA cooker were highspots. Nothing like fresh locally (water)milled and baked wholemeal loaves toasted on the AGA for breakfast. I fell in love with the glass-doored wood-burning stove (we were there in a chilly December) - easy to light and aromatic with logs from the local garage.
We'll be back if we can (we live in Florida). A wonderful retreat from everyday life with plenty to do within walking distance or further afield with a car - we were averaging 2 castles a day (the wife is from the USA). Good reasonably priced food in the village and a peaceful walk home under the stars - bring a flashlight!
I wish we lived here.

Comments from Owner Guestbook

Review Submitted: December 6, 2007 Date of Stay: December 2007
'We had a fantastic week in Erw Wen. We have stayed in many cottages throughout the UK, and what we liked about Erw Wen is that it didn't feel like a rental. The minute we walked in the door, it felt lived in - a real home' Janice & Mark Hinchliffe (Sept 2007)

'We've stayed in many holiday cottages, and this is quite the best we've ever found in terms of both location and standards. Superbly equipped, in a delightful location with fabulous views of the sea, sands and countryside, plus a huge safe garden. The dog loved snuggling up by the Aga.' Peter Booth (May 2004)

“The cottage was very warm and comfortable and the location superb. The best bit for me was walking down to the estuary each morning, always delightful, I was very sad to leave' Roma Galpin (Sept 2005)

'After 7 years of holidaying in this area this was by far the best!' Woods family (May 2003)

'We have been in Newport many times and this is the best house we have stayed in yet' Lloyd family (annual visits)
