Overview

It takes little more than that first view of Clydey Cottages to understand exactly why owners Dewi and Jacqui gave up high-flying careers in London's City to return to their roots and bring up their two young sons. The views, over meadows, hills and woodland, are truly spectacular and the picture perfect 18th century stone exteriors of these pretty farm cottages are utterly charming. Later comes the relaxed feeling of being able to let your little ones 'off the leash' and roam freely amongst 20 acres of beautiful grounds, by which time, most people are just about ready to move in full-time themselves!

Dewi and Jacqui ditched their briefcases in favour of tool belts and completely renovated the cluster of 10 cottages in mid 2006. The results ar ...read more inside

Overview [continued]

...e luxurious, comfortable and exceptionally well-equipped homes-from-home with interiors that are stylish, although leaning more towards sympathetic than contemporary. The newly added hot tub, indoor heated swimming pool, fitness suite and sundeck, with breathtaking views, ensure relaxation comes easily to parents, whilst mini guests adore getting involved with the farm thanks to the daily animal feeding and egg collecting rounds. If that doesn't wear them out, then being free to roam the almost traffic free grounds, well-equipped timber play area and indoor games room, along with swimming in the indoor pool, is sure to have the desired effect, which will allow parents to indulge in hampers of fresh, organic local breakfast and dinner menus for less than £10 a head.

Ivy is a romantic little one-bedroom cottage. Its charming period features like exposed wooden beams, thick stone walls, large inglenook fireplaces, and wood burning stoves, cleverly blend with contemporary colour schemes and luxury touches like IPod docks, flatscreen TVs and DVD players (in lounges and bedrooms). The open plan, fitted kitchen is fully equipped with electric oven, hob, fridge freezer and microwave. Upstairs, there is a large double bedroom with plenty of room for a cot, and stunning views over the front lawns, leading to the meadow and woodland beyond. The bathroom has a bath with power shower. Freeview is available in all cottages including the Cbeebies channel.

Local Knowledge

The cottages are nestled in 20 acres of grounds around four miles from the village of Boncath in unspoilt North Pembrokeshire Coastal National Park. The area is crammed with hidden coves and wide sandy beaches. Dolphins are often spotted in nearby Mwt, which is a peaceful sandy cove. Try Tresaith for its handy pub, with kids meals, overlooking the beach.

Eating & Drinking - The Nag's Head in Abercych (2.5miles away) has a great reputation for good food and ale, as well as having a lovely outdoor play area for kids. . Some of the region's best restaurants are also fairly close to the cottages. The Harbourmaster at Aberaeron, Penrhiwllan gastro-pub and Red Cow in Newcastle Emlyn, are all well worth arranging babysitting for, although the latter (run by BFB owners and parents) has a great early supper menu for junior diners with colouring sheets etc.

Days Out - Around 45mins drive away, Folly Farm is a brilliant wet weather day out thanks to its petting farm, tractor tours, indoor Victorian fun fair, soft play and huge adventure play zone, most of which are under cover. Don't miss a dolphin or seal spotting boat trip from Cardigan and the popular Victorian seaside resort of Tenby (near Folly Farm).

Shopping - Newcastle Emlyn around five miles from the cottages has a good selection of shops, banks, bistros, cafes and delis and a beauty salon offering a range of treatments. For lovely boutique shopping, art galleries and a ceramic painting cafe, visit the pretty town of Narbeth.. try to resist the chocolate factory tours nearby!
