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 are 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 cottages with charming period features such as exposed wooden beams, thick stone walls and large inglenook fireplaces, wood burning stoves, are cleverly blended with contemporary colour schemes and luxury touches in the form of IPOD docks, flatscreen TVs and DVD players (in lounges and bedrooms). The open plan fitted kitchen is fully equipped with electric oven, hobs, fridge freezer and microwave. Upstairs, their 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 is equipped with baths and power showers over, Freeview is available in all cottages including the Cbeebies channel.
The cottages are nestled in 20 acres of grounds around four miles from the village of Boncath in unspoilt North Pembrokeshire. 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. Newcastle Emlyn which has a good selection of shops, banks, bistros, cafes, delis and a beauty salon offering a range of treatments is around five miles from the cottages. Some of the region's best restaurants are also fairly close to the cottages. The Harbourmaster at Aberaeron, Llys Meddyg in nearby Newport, and the Penrhiwllan gastro-pub, are all well worth arranging babysitting for. A little further afield at around 45mins drive, 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. For boutique shopping, art galleries and ceramic painting cafe visit the pretty town of Narbeth... try to resist the chocolate factory tours nearby!
5-stars VisitWales. The cottages also won Best Self Catering Accommodation award at the Pembrokeshire Tourism Awards 2009.

We had a fantastic week with our 18mo son, the highlights were everything - the heated indoor swimming pool with woggles, floats and pool toys provided, the small but lovely sauna next to the pool, the games room, the soft play area which was so nice to have something dedicated to little children and comfty couches for mum and dad to relax, the outside hottub for a grown up dip (although kids are allowed in during school holidays) and best of all the daily animal feeding and egg collecting. We stayed in Lavender Cottage (sister cottage to Ivy) which was small but adequate for the three of us, the bedroom was a decent size even with the cot in. Good power shower and a nice bath. Shared BBQ's are available to use outside your cottage. Lots of other facilities including - washing machines/dryers, frozen meals from COOK, free eggs, toddler carrying backpacks, ride on toys, sand pit, playground etc.Local beaches of Poppit Sands and Mwnt are stunning -we saw dolphins swimming in the bay at Mwnt. Lovely restaurant about 40 mins drive away, Y Polyn, and you can book babysitters although it is expensive at £10ph. DVDs, board games and books can be borrowed from the Games Room so no need to really go out.All in all, a fantastic, friendly, relaxing break and we wouldn't hesitate to return

Fred Mawer of Daily Telegraph said: "This is the most appealing, family-orientated self-catering complex I visited. The setting deeply rural, with far-reaching views over rolling hills is idyllic. The 10 creeper-covered cottages, within an 18th-century farmhouse (which has its own big private garden) and outbuildings, are full of character and style, with original features, smart kitchens and bathrooms and tasteful furnishings."

We had a really enjoyable holiday at clydey cottages, my 2yr old son loved the morning egg collection, and looking at the animals.The swimming pool was a perfect warm temp for my 4 month old to have his first swimming experience (no tears!) and for myself and my husband our late night hot tub was a memorable moment.We all wished we could stay longer, a real home from home.

Owner Profile
Welcome, croeso, to our home – Clydey Cottages Pembrokeshire. We, The Davies Family, are Dewi, Jacqui, and our three children Tomos (8yrs), Dafydd (6yrs) and Catrin (2yrs). We very much look forward to welcoming you to Clydey Cottages Pembrokeshire in the near future. |
“Life has certainly taken on a new meaning” says Dewi. “It’s about living in the here and now, not saving for retirement and yearning for the day when you can do what you want without the constraints of City work and life. We’ve worked hard over the last 6 years in building up the business and creating a special place that we ourselves would want to stay on holiday.”
The ‘icing on the cake’ came last October 16th 2009, when Clydey Cottages won two awards in the Pembrokeshire Tourism Awards 2009 – Best Marketing Campaign and Best Self-Catering Accommodation. The couple are obviously delighted at being rewarded for their hard work :- “We’re passionate about what we do – making sure that everyone who comes to Clydey Cottages, enjoys it so much that they also want a little piece of our dream – even if it’s only for a week or two.”
“Seeing our children grow up with carefree freedom, plenty of space and outdoor life is confirmation that we definitely made the right decision – if we need confirmation that is. I can honestly say, there is nothing, absolutely nothing that I miss about our previous life.” says Jacqui dreamily as she sits on the bench outside the Farmhouse, listening to the birdsong and watching her young family run through the wild flower meadow outside – idyllic indeed.

From the moment children arrive, they look forward to days full of fun, frolics and fantastic memories. In the morning, children can join the 'Clydey Young Farmers Club' and help to feed the resident Kune Kune pigs - Iggle and Piggle (who just love having their tummies tickled); the sheep; Shetland ponies and the chickens - not forgetting to collect the freshly laid eggs and take them back to Mum and Dad for breakfast.
