About this property
Sitting on the fringes of Newport, Pembrokeshire is this delightful, detached house of 5 Llain Yr Eglwys. A great base for a family of four's escape to west Wales, 5 Llain Yr Eglwys is situated moments away from coastal walks and beaches within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Upon arrival, you'll be pleased to discover two off-road parking spaces; if you're an electric car owner, you're in luck as there's also a charging point! Progress inside to come across a sumptuously decorated open-plan living space where everything you need for a self-catering holiday is at your fingertips. Settle down in the stylish sitting area and catch up on your seaside escapades over a glass of wine. Afterwards, make your way over to the impressive kitchen, a space enjoying sleek fittings and a wealth of appliances; a budding chef's dream! Just off the kitchen is the utility, where small appliances can be found alongside a handy washing machine. Once a delicious dinner has been prepared, take it over to the four-seater dining table; why not make it an alfresco affair and enjoy it in the landscaped garden? As day turns to night, freshen up in the cloakroom before heading upstairs to come across two tastefully appointed bedrooms. Choose between an elegantly furnished super king-size or twin room (please request to prepare as a super king-size), both of which enjoying access to contemporary en-suite shower rooms as well as featuring good storage for your belongings. Take advantage of your closeness to the centre of Newport, where various eateries, including The Golden Lion, Castle Inn, Blas at Fronlas and Tides Kitchen & Wine Bar can be found. Go down to Parrog on the coast and walk across the 'Iron Bridge' to Newport Bay, where you can enjoy a beach with great surf or head to practise your swing at Newport Golf Club before enjoying a meal with a view at the Cat Rock Cafe. For history buffs, the historic 5500 year old Neolithic Burial Chamber at Pentre Ifan is a must. Visit Fishguard, another seaside town with lots to do, with picturesque Lower Town which was the location for Gregory Peck's Moby Dick and Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood starring Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor! The town centre hosts the superb Last invasion Tapestry in the Town Hall, telling the story of Jemima Nicholas and how her trusty pitchfork helped repel a Napoleanic invasion in 1797! Cardigan and its castle that hosted the first Welsh Eisiteddfod in 1176 and St Davids with its awe-inspiring cathedral dedicated to Wales' patron saint, are also within easy driving distance, providing even more opportunities to sample this beautiful corner of Wales. For a memorable stay with those who mean most, choose 5 Llain Yr Eglwys.
If you're looking for a charming and historic seaside town to visit in Wales, look no further than Newport.

Personally I would remove all the hangings in the front room, as these just reduce the natural light. The back garden has too much clutter, e.g. pots, tanks and raised borders. As the grass was uncut it made it all a bit claustrophobic. However, we really enjoyed our stay, and would certainly book again.
