Y Cartws is a quirky stone cottage tucked away in rural North Pembrokeshire. This inverted layout hideaway sits near Newport with the bedroom downstairs and living space upstairs - making the most of those stunning countryside views through the Juliet balcony. Perfect for couples who want to escape the daily grind without sacrificing comfort.

The setting is properly peaceful. You're surrounded by rolling Welsh hills with the gentle soundtrack of birdsong and a nearby river. It's quiet enough to hear yourself think but close enough to civilization (shop 1 mile away) that you won't need to stockpile supplies like you're preparing for the apocalypse.

About Y Cartws

Y Cartws is a quirky stone cottage tucked away in rural North Pembrokeshire. This inverted layout hideaway sits near Newport with the bedroom downstairs and living space upstairs - making the most of those stunning countryside views through the Juliet balcony. Perfect for couples who want to escape the daily grind without sacrificing comfort.

The setting is properly peaceful. You're surrounded by rolling Welsh hills with the gentle soundtrack of birdsong and a nearby river. It's quiet enough to hear yourself think but close enough to civilization (shop 1 mile away) that you won't need to stockpile supplies like you're preparing for the apocalypse. The location is spot-on for exploring both Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion - you're about an hour from Aberystwyth, Tenby and the Blue Lagoon.

The accommodation features one ground floor double bedroom and a shower room. Upstairs, the open-plan living area includes a kitchen with electric cooker, dining space and sitting area with a woodburning stove for those chilly Welsh evenings. There's off-road parking for a ridiculous 8 cars (planning a convoy, are we?).

Nearby attractions include Newport (7 miles) with its beautiful beaches and coastal path walks. Cardigan (10 miles/20 minutes) offers shopping and dining options. Visit the impressive Pentre Ifan Burial Chamber (5 miles/10 minutes) or explore Cilgerran Castle (8 miles/15 minutes) for a dose of Welsh history.

Y Cartws is ideal for couples seeking peace without isolation. The private hot tub is the cherry on top - nothing beats soaking under the stars after a day of exploring. Who needs a spa break when you've got your own bubbling cauldron of relaxation?

Y Cartws Reviews

We had a fabulous week here. Definitely would recommend and will definitely return soon
We had a lovely stay at your cottage from January 26th February 2nd, I am very keen on this area and have stayed here many times growing up and through my adult life but this was my first time with my partner we were a good distance from loads of places and had a lovely couple of meals out within a 15 min drive of the property, its such a beautiful home and beautiful area and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back & next time hopefully with family! Thank you so much.
Awesome cottage in a beautiful location. The hosts are simply the best!!!!
We had a fantastic stay everything you could need, a home from home , hot tub was perfect would deffinatley recommend
I had such a lovely time at Y Cartws. It was just what I needed, somewhere warm, cozy and peaceful to chill out. Most nights were spent watching TV on the sofa and an almost falling asleep there. The hot tub was lovely and warm. Y Cartws is in the perfect location as well as you are an hour away from Aberystwyth, Tenby or the Blue Lagoon by Porthgain. I definitely would like to stay again. Thank you for such a lovely place to stay.
We had a lovely stay in Y Cartws for 4 nights. The setting and location are perfect for a holiday on the North W. Pembrokeshire coast. The cottage is a great place to relax and unwind after a days exploring.
The cottage was lovely and relaxing, we have never slept so well. Thank you for the tasty brownies.
Michael
We really enjoyed our stay at Y Cartws which was ideal for exploring North Pembrokeshire and South Ceredigion. The cottage surpassed our expectations and the owners made us feel welcome. The hot tub was especially welcome after days spent walking and touring the area. A hot tub will be a 'must have' in future. The information folder provided by the hosts was very useful. We will certainly be staying at Y Cartws when we next visit north Pembrokeshire.
A totally lovely place, fit our requirements exactly great little property with everything you need situated in a gorgeous part of Wales.
Beautiful cottage well maintained and presented with all the facilities you would need for a comfortable stay. The added availability of a hot tub after a day of exploring was a blessing, would highly recommend and would be more than happy to stay here again.
Brilliant place to stay, absolutely wonderful hosts and a beautiful place to be surrounded by. The hot tub was clean and relaxing and sheltered from the rain!. We would love to return some day!
Leslie
Excellent cottage & location. Couldn't ask for anything else.
Lovern
What more can you add to perfection. After my booking was final, all else followed went as planned and very smooth. The cottage was is as described in the booking details, nothing to complain about, everything in place. Very appealing. No problems with communication or privacy from owner or others. Apart from the tranquil environment, my appeal was the hot tub omg, bliss after a long journey. Waking up to bird song outside the door, hundreds of nesting black birds, views of the hills mountains over yonder, the sound of gentle running water from the nearby river, sound animals calling for breakfast in addition to seeing mama sheep Ewe with her babieslamb to petting the luvable goat all in the farm, just at the back of the cottage. What a calming, peaceful, relaxing few days we had. Not to be forgotten, as a welcome gift, gooey brownie.... YUM, YUM, YUM. Thanks
Great lovely little cottage perfect for the 2 of us. Not 1 bad thing to say about it! Everything was expected and much much more! There was litrally nothing we needed that wasn't ready for us to use. Including tea coffee and sugar, kitchen utensiles, towels etc. Contacted owners for a few little decoration for my wife's birthday arrival and it was done. Thanks again for that. Love the fact it is in the middle of nowhere and enjoyed listening to the wildlife and farm animals next door. Really had the homely feel. Hot tub is in a great location and great with the curtains to pull across to block out the cold weather. Love the quirkiness of the bathroom and bedroom downstairs easy access to shower and change after being in the hot tub. Hot tub was also ready on arrival. Owners also on hand for anything that may be needed but like I say nothing else was needed. Loved the neat information folder too. Honestly 1010. Would recommend and definatly hoping to visit again soon Thank you so much!

A lovely cottage set in a peaceful area. Great use of the building by having day area upstairs to benefit the views. Hot tub nice and private and sheltered so warm even at night. Nice dining pubs around the area, will definitely be booking again if available.
Gareth
Already looking to come back at a later date. Amazingly peaceful cottage with rejuvenating vibes. Loved it. Great place with an agricultural setting close to hikes, villages, setting ideally close to 3 counties with a massive list of things to do. We then loved u winding with the hot tub or by watching butterflies. Would highly l recommend to friends, family and anybody reading this. There are 3 properties on site befitting couples, families and large families.
We enjoyed a very relaxing holiday at Y Cartws. The accommodation was first class and the hot tub a lovely bonus. Would definitely recommend. Plenty of beautiful beaches in the locality also.
Justine
Fabulous cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The owners were helpful and friendly and nothing too much trouble. Hot tub was fabulous after busy days exploring.
Claire
A very comfortable and pretty cottage in a beautiful setting. The hot tub was a joy to come back to after busy days out. An excellent base to be able to explore stunning Pembrokeshire. The chocolate brownies were delicious...what a treat!
We had a lovely stay here at this cosy cottage. Cottage and hot tub were both clean on arrival. The homemade brownies were delicious and the pretty wild flowers made us feel nice and welcomes to the cottage. Would recommend visiting Poppit Sands beach which is 1520 minute drive on a sunny day beautiful beach. The cottage is in a remote location so needed to drive everywhere, but this was expected and there are some lovely places within reasonable distance if you dont mind the drive.
We had a wonderful 5 days here. Obviously helped by the fabulous weather. The cottage was perfect for 2, we loved sitting and looking through the balcony to the hills and fields beyond. Watching the birds flying in and out of their nest above the balcony. The hot tub was big enough for us both to lie out, a lovely end to each day. The cottage was well situated to visit lots of places of interest. We loved watching the sun set over the sea at Newport beach. We would certainly recommend this cottage.
Had a lovely stay in a beautiful area. Cottage very comfortable and peaceful. Particularly enjoyed the log burner and hot tub!
Great place, comfortable, clean. So nice I booked to stay there again
Jackie
Great cottage its got everything you require. Log burner was great and the hot tub was just amazing.
Had a wonderful week long Easter stay at Y Cartws. Amazing location, perfect for walking and exploring and not too far from some great towns. Soaking in the hot tub was a perfect end to every day. We were celebrating a birthday and the owner kindly put a banner and balloons up
Andrew
Stayed at this beautiful cottage for a week in March, very well equipped, beautiful surroundings. The hot tub and log burner were a big bonus and the chocolate brownies were amazing. Would definitely recommend and we will be staying there again. Good location for touring and owners were there if we needed anything.
Awstin
The Cottage was lovely and cosy and quaint . Very well set out . Log fire was so welcoming . The hot tub was very relaxing after days out. Will be going back.
Michelle
Just arrived home from the most relaxing stay at y cartws. The welcome brownies were delicious
Was a lush weekend, everything was perfect. The hot tub was so nice and the log fire. The space is small which we love cause its so cosy. Everything was clean and tidy, the also made us fresh brownies on arrival which were such a nice touch. Also the hot tub not only has a wall in front of it but it also has a long curtain you can pull across which was so good as it gave you privacy. All in all a lovely cabin which we will return to again
We have just returned from a lovely weekend away at Y Cartws. The cottage was fabulous and had everything you need for a lovely holiday. I loved the upside down nature of the cottage the living room was so cosy and had lovely views while the bedroom downstairs was great for getting changed after being in the hot tub which was lovely and warm when we arrived. We couldn't have wished for a better weekend away.
I had a fab time staying at Y Cartws. The cottage was nice and clean when I arrived and the hot tub was clean and already hot it was great to use to warm up and relax after a day of lots of walking and climbing. I loved that the living room and kitchen are upstairs and bedroom and bathroom downstairs. There are lovely views from the living room. The cottage is close to some great attractions, so there is plenty to do to fill the days. I will definitely be coming back next year.
Thank you for a lovely stay, the cottage was just lovely The cottage was very clean, well equiped & the hot tub was great. The bed was lovely & comfortable & the location was ideal for exploring the whole of the west coast of wales We would love to stay again
My partner and I stayed in Y Cartws in September 2022 and absolutely loved the accommodation! The photos do not do this beautiful home justice, also the grounds are very pretty and picturesque especially by the river. Y Cartws had everything we needed and more, lots of space compared to many other holiday homes we've rented and the private hot tub a bonus also a super fun zip wire, pet the horses and fed the goats. My partner is over 6ft 5 and he was really happy the hot tub allowed him to completely stretch out. The views were beautiful out the lounge doors, huge pear tree, hills, horses, sheep and so incredibly green. We slept like logs and the 7 days did us the world of good. The bedroom is large and there is now a side cupboard plus dressing table. We enjoyed meeting Catherine's family and they were so very helpful, welcoming and friendly, making us feel at home. The homemade brownies were very welcome after the drive, thank you. Communication with Catherine 5. We look very forward to our next stay hopefully soon. Thanks again.
Jeanette
Lovely property, clean, comfy and relaxing. Has everything you need to make your stay home from home. Fantastic hot tub under cover and private. Brilliant for relaxing in after a busy day. Nice to leave doors open upstairs and listen to the birds singing. Easy to get to places of interest and coastal walks from here.
We had a lovely week here , very comfortable and relaxing , couldnt ask for much more , Hot tube was well received. Many thanks Simon
Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay, everything was as described, the flowers and brownies were a welcome touch and all the facilities worked well for us. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to friendsfamily and hope to visit again in the future. Thank you.
Andrew
Very comfortable accommodation in a great location, great for walking, cycling and lovely beaches, can recommend Poppits sands. Hot tub a bonus, very relaxing.
Absolutely wonderful stay at Y Cartws . The cottage has everything you need and lots of homely touches, very cleverly utilising space with the upstairs as the living area and kitchen. Great to have WIFI and also to be able to use internet tv services like Amazon prime and Netflix when it was raining . The hot tub was fantastic and although there is a privacy curtain available, with the fence up in between the other properties it was not needed. Fantastic hosts! The brownies and flowers were really lovely additions. Thank you!
