Details of Pen-Rhiw, North Pembrokeshire
Only natural and sustainable limes, waxes, paints and oils have been used in the rescue of this formerly derelict cottage, making a happy home that has a happy atmosphere. It sits on a roadside (but not a bad one, and with wide pavement), in Abercych village, about 300 yards up from the river and famous Nag's Head tavern. Walk down the hill for a beer brewed on site, a meal outside by the river, or to follow the woodland sculpture trail. Musicians and performers can hire the village hall at low cost if you wish to practice, and Stirling, the owner, can provide some alternative therapies in her cottage next door.
Managed by the award-winning agency Under the Thatch, Pen-Rhiw is a traditional West Wales cottage that has a lovely, snug atmosphere.
