Maes y Ffynnon

Maes y ffynnon is a gorgeous and recently renovated Victorian house sleeping 2 or 4, next door to cosy stone cottage Ffynnon Fach which sleeps 2. They can be rented together, sleeping 6.

Both properties enjoy picture-postcard views of the Teifi estuary and seaside village of St Dogmaels, and each has its own pretty outdoor decking space.

Rescued lovingly from dereliction, the interiors are brand-new but sympathetic to Victorian period features.

Maes y Ffynnon has front and rear hallways, a double and two single bedrooms, and a bathroom downstairs, while upstairs a large and airy lounge/dining room makes the most of the lovely view, together with a kitchen and spacious roof patio.

Ffynnon Fach has a similar but smaller entrance, bathroom and double bedroom layout downstairs with lounge/kitchen upstairs. Both units are well-equipped with kitchen utensils, entertainment, area literature etc.

The properties are a perfect base for exploring the coastline and countryside of both Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion and there are plenty of things to do nearby, including attractions, good food, local crafts, and activities, especially walking - the Pembrokeshire Coast Path practically begins on the doorstep.

While Ffynnon Fach on its own suits couples, Maes y Ffynnon is perfect for gatherings, whether family or friends, foodies or ramblers. Both properties welcome well behaved dogs.
