Cartws Bach is a beautifully converted 18th-century cart house in a quiet countryside setting near the north Pembrokeshire village of Eglwyswrw. Full of character with exposed original beams and sloping ceilings, this pretty cottage is delightfully welcoming.

Carbon neutral with eco electricity, Cartws Bach has been sympathetically restored to conservation standards and has a simple yet elegant feel. Hemp, lime and clay paint give the walls an organic character, while wooden and slate floors and exposed beams add to the atmosphere.

The cottage is south facing and looks out into its own little garden. It is attached to a granary barn and cottage forming one side of the courtyard at the old farm of Bwlch Garregllwyd. It is very peaceful with a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere.

Conveniently situated near the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and Cardigan Bay, the main bus route is only 2 minutes’ walk, the coastal towns of Cardigan and Newport are only 7 minutes’ drive; with Poppit Sands and Newport Beach just 10 mins away.

ACCOMMODATION

Cartws Bach sleeps 3 in 2 bedroom areas: 1 double and 2 single beds with comfortable organic mattresses. The bedroom area is reached by wooden painted stairs, and is cleverly divided by rustic wood-panelling to give two distinct sleeping areas with their own character. The double is in a cosy curtained nook, while the two singles are in a cheerfully painted cabin room. The roof space is open between sleeping areas. The water to the property is solar or wood-burner heated with eco-electric backup. The downstairs living space is open plan.

OUTSIDE

Access from the living area leads directly to a private gravel seating area with garden furniture. The property is set in an old farm courtyard with 3 acres of lawns, vegetable gardens, woods, flower meadow and pond behind the barn. Badminton set on the lawn. Our grassy track leads down to a green lane (ancient bridleway) which in turn will lead you to many footpaths and tracks to explore. Off road parking for one car. The owner politely requests no music or radio outside the cottage as the noise travels to neighbouring properties and all quiet after 9 pm in all outdoor areas.
