Comfort levels are generally good, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable sofas. However, some guests noted worn sofas and mattresses with springs that could be felt, indicating that some furnishings may need updating.
Facilities like the kitchen are modern and well-received, but there are several reports of maintenance issues such as broken bathroom tiles and a non-functional hoover. Some guests also suggested the need for more cleaning products.

About this property
Ty Felin is a wheelchair friendly property and the owner has renovated the building with thought and care, including access for disabled users and a wheelchair accessible shower.
This converted stone barn is situated on a small farm within walking distance of the town of Newport and the beaches of Parrog and Aber Rhigian both of which are on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path.
Newport is filled with stone and colour washed cottages which look out over Newport Bay, making it very picturesque. There are many pubs, cafes, galleries, shops including post office, chemist, butcher, wholefood shop, convenience store, hardware store and antique shop in the town.
This property really does occupy a great location. Activities available locally include golf, sea fishing and angling on the Nevern river, bicycle hire, walking, horse riding, boating and sailing.
Newport is a beautiful coastal town in Pembrokeshire, south west Wales lying on the River Nevern with a selection of shops, pubs, tea rooms, plus an excellent golf course overlooking the sea as well as a lovely sheltered harbour. Newport lies on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path which is renowned worldwide for its unique landscape and wonderful opportunities to go dolphin and seal spotting. Wonderful coastal walks along the path or in the nearby Preseli Hills with the ever changing scenery are a walkers dream all year round. Learn about history when you visit the mills, craft centres and castles dotted around the county or spend a day at the wonderful Castell Henllys Iron Age Fort where you can learn hands on all about living during that time. See the majestic Shire Horses at the Shire Horse Farm or spend relaxing days on the huge choice of beautiful sandy beaches. All year round this is a perfect location for all the family.

Primarily in the bathrooms but the spiders and cobwebs were excessive, even for a farm house. The kitchen however was well equipped and very clean.

Facilities at the cottage are good. We would say the downstairs bathroom could do with updating and probably a few more mirrors (seems minor) but better placed. The owner Roger was always available if you had any queries. All in all a wonderful place to stay homely and welcoming. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Roger

Great outdoor space with views of the sea to enjoy a BBQ. Relaxed informal environment which was perfect with a dog! We loved being able to walk to Newport either via the coastal path or through the countryside at the back. As well as beautiful beaches, it was the perfect place to explore other local attractions too - loved Ty Canol Woods and Pentre Ifan⦠very special and seeped in ancient history â¦. Would defintiely visit again- Roger was very helpful with friendly advice too- Diolch yn fawr x
