We are both family and pet friendly. It is a very peaceful location with wonderful views across acres of lush green grass. Our visitors are welcome to take a walk through some of our fields, please ask first. Y Cartws is also located in a great spot for star gazing with it's wonderful dark sky's at night weather permitting of course. We are happy to let you fly your drone from our fields. During the month of March and April we have the busy time of Lambing our visitors are welcome to have a look at what's going on or give us a hand with the feeding of molly lambs if we have any! The cottage itself has a large farmhouse kitchen, a laundry room and a living room on the ground floor.

Plenty of parking space is available. There is a bench and table just outside the cottage. Towels are also provided. New for 2024 we have had a large walk in shower put in instead of a bath, also we are working on a new private sitting area for our guests just to the side of the cottage through the wildflower garden, relax and unwind with a beautiful view.

Beautiful Scenery
We had a great stay at this fully equipped cottage. We had a lovely welcome by Eirlys and Paul, who were on site and around when needed, but never imposed. The beds and chairs were super comfortable and the dogs were cute and friendly. The area has great pubs,beaches and coastal walks all within a short drive. Would recommend to a friend. We are looking forward to booking next year. 😎🐶

A must stay.
If you want to experience rural Wales this place is amazing. A beautiful converted barn for you to stay in on a sheep farm with 3 working dogs who are so friendly and want tummy rubs. The hosts were helpful and delightful and it was a great base to explore what Wales has to offer and we were here for 10 days and only touched the tip of the iceberg. Stay here,switched your phone off and enjoy the scenery.

A beautiful place to unwind and enjoy the outdoors.
Thank you so much Eirlys and Paul. We thoroughly enjoyed our short break to the farm. With plenty of beautiful walks and beaches a short drive away; It felt like the much needed tonic, after a long winter. The children absolutely loved being on the farm. The cottage itself is extremely comfortable, with ample space for a family of four. The kitchen is well equipped and the personal touches were much appreciated.

A break away from the mayhem
This property is exceptionally well set up with everything you need for an enjoyable and peaceful setting. It is spacious and easily would accommodation a family of four. The location is so quite but you have beaches to die for within easy driving distance. The hosts were very welcoming and gave us some very useful tips. It was just what we needed after months of lockdown and uncertainty.

Comfort, quiet and beauty.
Y-Cartwys is in a beautiful location, and is very comfortable, spacious and well equipped. The owners were very friendly and welcoming and even though the weather was a bit changeable we had a wonderful week exploring the coasts of both Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion as the cottage is so well placed. You could also easily access Carmarthenshire and other parts of Wales. Highly recommended.

Wonderful cottage
We had a lovely time staying at the cottage and it makes a good base for lots of things to do in the area with the kids. The cottage was very clean and cosy and Eirlys and Paul were very welcoming along with Bella, Ben and Mai the four legged friends. If you want to get away to somewhere quiet and completely dark at night this is the place. We had a lovely stay thank you and we will be returning at some point.

Renting was a breeze. The property was delightful, with all the mod cons tucked into a warm and cozy home. The location was rural but an easy drive to activities. We loved the beautiful sites of the farm right outside the windows and their adorable dogs ready to greet us whenever we left. We would definitely rent this lovely property again!

A perfect peaceful retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Perfect location with a beautiful surroundings. Well located, everything seemed just half an hour away. Stunning night sky, never seen anything like it. The cottage itself was perfect, cosy, well equipped and felt like home. Eirlys and Paul were there if you needed them otherwise you just carry on as usual, a friendly welcome or bara brith and fresh eggs. Our children made new friends in Mai, Ben and Bella the farm dogs, for children that aren’t too keen or used to dogs they absolutely loved these friendly pups. The surrounding town of Cardigan is amazing, the beaches of Mwnt and Poppit Sands are great beaches. Plenty of culture, history and wildlife nearby and amazing views just on the drive in to Cardigan. We all loved this place and would happily book again tomorrow. Thanks Simon, Aurore, Elora, Eliot and Aiden.

Relaxing getaway in fabulous family accommodation
Eirlys, Paul and their two sons were very kind and friendly hosts. Whilst we had some trouble finding the accommodation, Eirlys came to the rescue and there was no looking back. The barn, which has been converted into accommodation, is spacious and very well appointed. Apart from food and personal affects, everything that we needed was supplied. We particularly enjoyed the farm fresh eggs, milk and cake that was waiting for us when we arrived. The farm, Y-Cartws, is in a central location in the south. It was easy to visit the highlights of the Pembrokshire region. Eirlys gave us some good recommendations and a walking guide book that helped us to decide on our daily adventures. Another highlight was a little tour of the farm that enabled my nearly one year old son to see sheep and chickens for the first time. For those wishing to stay here, the easiest way to find it is to type "Y Cartws holiday cottage" into Google Maps, and it will direct you to the exact location. Thank you for having us, Eirlys and family!

Y-Cartws has everything you need and is a great base for a perfect holiday in Pembrokeshire...
We have just spent six days in Y Cartws..a wonderful property with everything we needed for a comfortable base for our family. A warm welcome was extended by Eirlys Williams on our arrival to this immaculate cottage from which there are beautiful views of the surrounding farm. We spent lovely days exploring the lovely coastline and Castles and comfortable evenings in the cottage. We will certainly be booking again.

Perfect home from home.
What can I say other than fantastic. The property is located within a rural setting surrounded by fields. There is very easy access to Tenby and other tourist and necessary amenities. The layout of the cottage is very functional and is extremely easy to see that it is clean and easy to keep clean. The hosts are extremely pleasant and accommodating and were more than willing to facilitate our sons (2 years old) desire to sit in a tractor whenever he wanted. I would highly recommend this property as a base to explore Pembrokeshire. Many thanks.

We had a lovely time. The cottage had everything we needed. There was attention to small details; washing up liquid, dish cloth and tea towels provided. Laundry room was very useful. Hosts were very friendly and helpful - there if you needed them but let you get on with the holiday. Pembrokeshire is so beautiful I defy anyone not to enjoy it, especially with the wonderful weather we had.

Lovely country location
We used the accommodation as a base to explore the area of Pembrokeshire from shopping in Carmarthen to the beaches in Tenby and St Davids Whitesands. The accommodation was good with a nice big kitchen area and lounge. Upstairs were two decent size bedrooms and a landing area with a comfy lounger to sit and read or just look at the stars through the velux window. The owners were friendly and we would definitely stay again if in the area. Emma

Wir wurden sehr herzlich von Eirlys und Paul empfangen und auch während unseres Aufenthalts kümmerten sie sich jederzeit darum, dass wir alles hatten, was wir brauchten. Wir hatten auch besonders viel Spaß an und mit den Hofhunden. Insgesamt eine sehr schöne Unterkunft mit tollen Gastgebern, die wir jederzeit weiter empfehlen können.
