Accommodation overview: Cwm Bach details
Cwm Bach (Little Valley) is situated in the heart of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Britain's only coastal nationalpark has a spectacular coastline with a variety of landscapes - from cliffs, arches and stacks, sea caves and sandy beaches to wooded estuaries with lakes, hills and moorland further inland. (In 2011, the park was voted as the second best coastal destination in the world by the National Geographic magazine.)
The cottage is set in a wooded hillside within its own secluded valley, 300m from the road. From outside the property there are views across Fishguard Bay, and often spectacular sunsets. Cwm Bach is a five-minute drive from the market town of Fishguard and the village of Newport which has excellent restaurants, an unspoilt sandy beach, horse riding, fishing and a links golf club that welcomes visitors.
The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path is a 10-minute walk from the property and there are also moorland rambles inland at Dinas. There are some which are easily walked from the property.
The area abounds in wildlife and the mild climate ensures that spring arrives early and autumn lingers. Trips to the offshore islands operate most months of the year - spring and autumn are the best times to see seals and porpoises.
More adventurous activities such as coasteering and kayaking are available, as are a number of theme parks.
Historical visitor attactions include Pembroke Castle in an idyllic setting on a river estuary and St David's Cathedral and Bishop's Palace (25-minutes' drive). Or go further back in time and visit a reconstructed iron-age fort.
The glorious scenery attracts artists and photographers, and there are many galleries to visit.
In the words of the National Trust "Escape to the western edge of Wales and explore a dramatic coastal landscape. Discover the secrets of our wild places and create your own memories".

Cowbridge offers a good range of shops with small boutiques, craft and art galleries, excellent restaurants and pubs. Further along the coast is the famous Gower peninsula and walking on the Mumbles.
The perimeter of the holiday site is fully fenced and gated but once outside this area, it is very dangerous for children. Strict supervision at all times is recommended, as not all guests will remember to keep the gate closed and locked.
This lighthouse does not have a fog horn.
The lighthouse is open to the public from Saturday 7th April until Sunday 30th September (weather permitting). If you would like to view the lighthouse, go to www.trinityhouse.co.uk/lighthouses/visitor-centres.html or telephone 01803 771802.
Access roads to some of the lighthouse sites are narrow with limited passing places and, dependent on the season and site, there is the possibility of overhanging vegetation due to cutting restrictions during bird breeding seasons or other environmental reasons.
Guests should be aware that the lighthouses and equipment need regular and sometimes emergency maintenance. Therefore visits by maintenance staff may occur at any time during the year. However, staff will do their best to ensure guest privacy at all times.
