Sibrwd Y Nant This, impressive, spacious cottage is a far cry from the tiny dwelling it was until 2000, when it was totally renovated and transformed into a spacious home. It is surrounded by fabulous countryside and conveniently close to the local village.

“We felt so lucky when we discovered this unique cottage. In meticulous condition, with a layout to suit our varied lifestyle, it was absolutely perfect for our requirements when we moved to live here in 2006. Our life here has been idyllic, relishing the peace and tranquillity afforded by its location, together with its outlook over the garden and beyond to the meadows. We find the layout so flexible, we are able to entertain with ease, and enjoy frequent family visits. The master bedroom, with its ground floor living space is ideal for Charlotte to practise her yoga. Our perfect country style kitchen is a favourite place and, often, the aroma of early morning baking fills the house; a very tempting welcome for callers. Christmas time is always special when the house is decked out and the family visit. The cottage seems to relish such times, especially when we all relax after a brisk walk and snuggle in front of our wood burner.”

“Because our house was in such perfect condition when we moved to live here, we put a lot of our energy into creating our bee friendly garden. We also have raised vegetable beds and a productive greenhouse. In addition, there is a large wildlife pond overlooked by a decking area. Our pebbled terrace, which is a sun trap, is where we like to relax outdoors and, also, where we enjoy summertime BBQs. I will certainly miss this garden so much when we leave.”

“Spittal is a very active, bustling village with many activities taking place to suit all tastes. Narbeth is a special town nearby containing several independent and interesting shops and restaurants. The county town of Haverfordwest is also very close. The beautiful Preseli Hills are a 5 minute drive from us and the fabulous Pembrokeshire coastline with its spectacular coastal path walks are approximately 10 miles away.”

“We will be very be sad to goodbye to our wonderful cottage which has been a little bit of heaven on earth for us.”*
