About this property
Welcome to Penywhelp House in the lovely village of St Dogmaels (Llandudoch),
Pembrokeshire. The house is just over a mile from Poppit Sands, a beautiful
beach that is family and dog-friendly. There is also great access to the
coastal paths, which provide spectacular views and are perfect for long and
short walks.
Built in the 1800s, Penywhelp House is a charming two-bedroom property with
views of the River Teifi. It is full of character with beams, sash windows
and an old bread oven.
The living room is comfortably furnished and includes a large smart TV and
a wood-burning stove to enjoy pleasant evenings in front of a fire.
The kitchen is small but well-equipped. It is a traditionally styled Welsh
kitchen with a slate floor, Welsh dresser, Belfast sink, beams, and an old
bread-oven. The dining room is light and airy with an extendable dining
table that can seat up to 6 people.
Both bedrooms are spacious doubles with window seats overlooking the River
Teifi. The bathroom is modern with a shower and bath.
The property includes parking for one vehicle and an enclosed rear garden.
The patio is planted with fresh herbs and has a table and chairs for four.
Our family has been enjoying Penywhelp House since 1911 and it provides the
perfect countryside escape for four guests and two well-behaved dogs; we
hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Within St Dogmaels, there is an array of amenities; just paces from
Penywhelp House is The Ferry Inn offering delicious meals and tipples.
In the centre of the village is the Premier convenience store for
essentials and Glebelands Market Garden on the road to Cardigan provides
excellent local produce.
In the village you can also visit St Dogmaels Abbey and a working water
mill, Y Felin.
Don’t miss the local market on Tuesday mornings by the Abbey and enjoy a
coffee at The Coach House Visitor Centre!
Just over a mile away is Poppit Sands, perfect for a family day out or
walking the dogs. Make sure you visit The Crwst Café, which offers
wonderful ice cream, doughnuts, and coffee.
A short journey away, is the neighbouring Cardigan town offering a wide
range of food, drink, and shopping.
And there is so much more to explore in this idyllic part of Wales!
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
St Dogmaels is a quaint and old community nestled peacefully around its ruined abbey at the mouth of the River Teifi on the wild west Wales coast. Y Felin, one of only two operational watermills in Wales, is one of the attractions. It still has the machinery built in 1820. The mill is considered to have been built by the monks of St Dogmaels' Abbey in the 12th century. The miller demonstrates how the mill works, and you may buy bread, flour, and cakes there, or visit the Coach House Café nearby for tea and cakes and light lunches. Every Tuesday, an award-winning local food market is held here, and it is well worth a visit. A pub, a fish and chip store, a Post Office, a cafe, and a small museum near the abbey are all located in the settlement. There's also a lovely green and a duck-filled millpond. Just over a mile away is Cardigan, a charming ancient market town.

Perfect. This is our second visit. Beautifully and tastefully furnished in keeping with the cottage features. Very comfortable beds with a view across the bay to see the sunrise. And once again the weather was very kind so we could enjoy the garden which is safe and enclosed for the dogs and an all day sun trap. Long walks on dog friendly Poppit Sands are a pleasure. Will be returning again. Catherine & Debs and our 2 dogs.

Accurate information provided about steps in garden. Location ideal for exploring Wales's coastal path. Really enjoyed staying in 'alternative' style of house - interesting history provided about the house which had many book, pottery and historical artefacts on display yet modern features such as shower, kitchen facilities provided. Such comfortable beds. A joy to live in on a temporary basis.

It was quaint but spacious and cosy, very clean and very good valve for money. It had everything we needed, the owners had thought of everything right down to fire-lighters for the log burner. Wales wasnât the place to visit for the weather in April there were thunderstorms and lots of rain, when it was sunny and warm back in Yorkshire. So for a couple of days we just sat with the dog by the fire watching the snooker World Cup, then nipped over the street to the dog friendly pub in the evening which did amazing food by the river (especially Sunday lunch). The village of St Dogmaels is very picturesque, with an old Abbey, coffee shop, fish & chip shop, post office and convenience store, it is very community focused and friendly and even has a community pub!. The famous local produce market is held on a Tuesday morning - not to be missed. Just a mile or two up the road from the cottage itself is a lovely little beach with an amazingly high quality beach hut cafe. All in all both the cottage and the location couldnât have been better and we intend to visit again next year.
