Charming 18th Century Fairytale Cottage

A beautiful, traditional Welsh cottage tucked away in a pretty woodland setting. Peace and seclusion await you in this enchanted hideaway. A holiday cottage which has it all; set within 2.5 acres of fenced private woods and lawned area, our guests can enjoy the chance to be quiet or noisy, relaxed or active! Close by is the friendly market town of Newcastle Emlyn with its pubs, cafes, supermarkets, gift/antique shops, ATM and ancient castle ruin perched above the meandering River Teifi.

The cottage makes a great getaway for couples, friends and families alike; It's a holiday haven for children, offering a safe place where they can explore, play and enjoy the open spaces and fresh air.

If you want to get out and about, there's plenty to do and see. The cottage is 9 miles from the coast. There, you'll find picturesque seaside villages, stunning sandy beaches and breathtaking coastal walks. In the nearby countryside, there are pretty villages and market towns with lots of cosy pubs, many of which serve food. There are lots of activities for kids and adults alike; ancient castles and monuments, pottery painting, fishing (river and sea), kayaking, dolphin and seal watching trips, crabbing, rambling, nature trails, antique centres, craft markets, mountain biking, pony trekking.....the list goes on and on!

Why not visit the local award winning cheese factory (Caws Cenarth) or the nearby Da Mhile distillery which produced the world's first organic whisky. Swim in the sea or relax by a pool at the Cliff Hotel and Spa near Cardigan. Whatever type of holiday you like, Ffynnon Fran is a perfect base for exploring South West Wales. At the end of the day, pleasantly tired from all that fresh air, return home to the peace and tranquillity of Ffynnon Fran Cottage where you can unwind by the fire (inside or out), watch the wildlife or relax with a glass of wine and enjoy the stunning views of the Welsh countryside and the magical Preseli Hills.
