Six beautiful cottages and One studio overlooking the sea in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Dogs are very welcome at Cwm Connell Coastal Cottages.

Seven self catering cottages on the edge of the sea, in the heart of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park with views of Cardigan bay and the surrounding open countryside. An ideal location to relax and unwind with no road noise, just the wind in the trees and the stream on its way to Ceibwr Bay, a lovely pebbly beach a short walk away through the woods from your cottage door. We welcome all walks of guests, from couples, to families, friends.

We have exciting news!! Last night Alex and I went to the Visit Pembrokeshire Croeso Awards dinner held at Pembrokeshire College. We are still feeling a bit stunned but are delighted to tell you that we were given the Best Self Catering (4+ units) Cottages in Pembrokeshire Award 🥇We are so honoured to be celebrated amongst the people, places and experiences that make the county such a special destination. It's a win for all of us! Thank you all for making our guests feel so welcome; Dagmarr, Rachel, Georgia and Sarah Rouet for helping me with change overs, Lydia's stunning flowers which adorn the cottages, and Stevie who educates and entertains our yoga retreat and holiday guests with his amazing nature walks so that they can fully appreciate this beautiful part of the Pembrokeshire Coast. Thank you to Rory Stone and many local businesses for helping us renovate the cottages to 5 star standard. Our guests love to visit Penrallt Garden Centre and thanks to staff there for constantly re-directing them to Cwm Connell - we share a post code! And Amanda Short at Really Pro for all your invaluable business advice. It was a stellar event with Pembrokeshire College students sourcing local produce and cooking and serving a delicious three course dinner.

Thank you Ross for this fab review! "We stayed as a family (including baby and dog) in October and were lucky enough to have the whole place to ourselves, which made it feel even more peaceful.

Emma was incredibly friendly and accommodating, welcoming us and showing us around without rushing us at all (despite being late for her yoga session!).

Our cottage had been beautifully renovated and decorated. We loved the sauna and hot tub overlooking the countryside, and being able to walk straight from the cottage through woodland to quiet beaches and coves that we had completely to ourselves.

It was also one of the most dog-friendly places we’ve stayed. We were given unlimited dog towels, washing facilities, a treat bag, water bowl and an “on holiday” dog tag with emergency contact details. The secure dog paddock was a real bonus too. Our dog, Monty, absolutely loved it.

A lovely, peaceful place to stay and somewhere we’d happily return to. Thank you Emma & Alex!

We are so delighted to be showcased by the boutique international holiday company I-escape in their latest blog "The 12 dog-friendly UK hotels loved by dog owners":

They say: These gorgeous Welsh stone cottages are perfect for a dog-friendly escape, tucked away in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park with woodland walks and a secluded cove practically on the doorstep. Dogs are welcome in every cottage, with enclosed terraces in most, plus a four-acre fenced paddock where they can run free while you soak up the views. There’s even a dog-washing station, towels and a hairdryer for post-walk muddy paws. Add cosy wood-burners, stylish interiors and a hot tub and sauna for the humans, and you’ve got a cracking countryside-and-coast escape for the whole pack.

" I sell out every time I hold a retreat at Cwm Connell and it is not hard to see why. Alex and Emma are so welcoming and there for us whenever we need them. The attention to detail is both reassuring as a retreat host and noticed by my guests. Each cottage is exquisite – similar feel and colour but all unique, immaculately clean and so well laid out with everything you would want. The private decks overlooking the rolling meadows and gardens are wonderful. The yoga shala is light and spacious with a view over the meadow and sea. The communal lounge / dining room is cosy and relaxed. It’s the perfect set up with shared meals and space but also cosy cottages with kitchens and lounges where guests can retreat to have some me time. The guests love spending time in the spa, or reading in the gardens or wandering down to the sea.

The location and facilities are perfect for adding on extras to my retreats – sea kayaking, river canoeing, painting workshops, pottery or dance being some of the things we have done. And a cacao ceremony around the stunning fire pit watching the sun set over the sea is pretty unmatched anywhere.

I keep thinking I should look elsewhere for a new place to hold my retreats but I honestly don’t think I would find anything even close in facilities, quality and surroundings. And so I don’t. I return each summer with many yogi’s returning with me but also some new guests – for our annual recharge and reset."

Sometimes the best holidays are the ones you don't spend months planning!
