Honeysuckle

Pembrokeshire's quieter inland valleys hold their own appeal. Away from the coast but close enough to explore it, this corner of west Wales sits between Cardigan and the Teifi estuary. Honeysuckle is one of four stone cottages scattered across 11 acres of grounds shared with the others on site—woodland paths, pasture, a river running through the valley below, and a hot tub you can use for six people. The setting matters here; it's the kind of place you come to slow down.

The cottage sleeps four across two bedrooms: a double downstairs and two singles upstairs. There's one bathroom with a bath and shower. The living room has a wood burner and Freeview TV; the kitchen is equipped for cooking, with a gas hob, electric oven, dishwasher and microwave. The essentials—heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi—are included, as are the first logs for the fire. One dog stays free. The place is yours alone, with parking for two cars and a garden with patio and barbecue.

Cardigan town centre is two miles away, with its farmers' market, castle, and local restaurants. The Welsh Wildlife Centre and Teifi estuary are within reach. Smoking is not permitted indoors.
