Arwel is situated in the tiny rural hamlet of Nanternis, located between New Quay and Llangrannog on the west coast of Wales.
This traditional west Wales cottage has been completely and sympathetically restored, with lime-washed stone walls and original wooden floors, doors and fantastic wooden partitions too.
On the ground floor is a large lounge and dining room with a flat screen satellite TV with Sky, DVD, CD/radio, iPod docking station and of course, a lovely cosy woodburning stove. The stove has glass doors which can also be opened to enjoy a perfectly efficient and cosy open fire. There are two comfortable leather couches, lots of books and games and a lovely antique dining table and chairs. For those who need to work there is a separate study area. Free Wi-Fi access is provided throughout for your convenience.
The kitchen is fully fitted and equipped for self catering in style. There is a ceramic top stove, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer, microwave and much more. It also features a breakfast bar to enjoy the sunny feel of the kitchen.
Upstairs are two pretty bedrooms as well as a luxurious shower room. The master bedroom has a luxurious king-size bed and the added luxury of double-ended roll-top bath. It’s an amazing experience to lie in the bath and let the birds outside your window entertain you to the background music of the stream in the valley below.
The second bedroom has a pretty traditional style curtained box bed, which is also king-size. You really won't want to leave it.
The terraced gardens which slope up at the back of the cottage are an idyllic private hideaway with beautiful woodland views, tastefully furnished decks and sunshine all day long (if you’re lucky)! Loungers, a BBQ and a parasol are all provided for your comfort. The larger terrace at the top has railings all around with gated access. Other areas include a very small wildlife pond, slopes and steps so care must be taken at all times.

It is difficult to describe exactly why Arwel is so magical. Everything suits so well, the cottage, the beautiful area. We have enjoyed our visit here from Cologne very much. Thank you!
We have enjoyed a great week in this comfortable, cosy cottage. Dolphin Bay lived up to its name as we were treated to an amazing Dolphin display in New Quay. We leave with many happy memories of our stay in Arwel

Thank you for accommodating us in beautiful cosy, warm welcoming, romantic Arwel. A perfect birthday weekend, Loved everything about this place. we will be back! Best Wishes
Absolutely gorgeous cottage in a stunning area. Enjoyed some breathtaking walks and met some lovely people. This area has a real sense of community. Cottage was beautifully kept, very cosy and clean. We had an amazing week. Thank you!
Very sad to leave after a perfect week in beautiful Arwel. The cottage itself has been a cosy home from home and the logburner has been in constant use. Our dog has been in heaven tearing around this fabulous welsh countryside. THe coastal walks are spectacular. Thank you for creating such a lovely bolthole for us visitors to escape to and the Christmas decorations were a really welcoming touch!
We wanted a romantic weekend away and Arwel has been perfect. We have had a fantastic weekend, visiting New Quay & llangrannog where we had the beach to ourselves! The log burner and bath are just perfect for relaxing inArwel. We walked to the waterfall and secret beach too and it was worth every minute. Thanks for a wonderful break!
Dolphin Bay cottages make so much effort to make their holiday homes really homes. Lots of little nie touches often forgotten in other holiday homes - even clingfilm! We have met lots of lovely friendly people. Enjoyed seal watching at nearby Cwmtydu, We will definitely be back to continue exploring this gorgeous coastline and to practice our Welsh!
A very nice stay in this beautiful location. A pleasure to stay in a cottage that retains its character yet has all the modern equipment you could need. Such a lovely atmosphere. Thank you!
Beautiful cottage, very homely. Loved the terraced gardens and the amazing variety of birds that visited. We have enjoyed some wonderful walks via the waterfall and coastal path. The scenery as you travel along in the Rheidol Valley steamtrain is breathtaking. Well worth it. Thanks!
A beautiful part of wales and a very quaint and comfortable cottage. We have enjoyed our stay enormously. Walks to the beach and waterfall, a boat trip with dolphins, great meal in local pub. Thank you!
A special cottage, full of throughtful touches. A special area too, beautiful countryside. We have enjoyed our time here.
What a wonderful cottage to relax & rewind. A really peaceful place, a real home from home, We look forward to our return.
Thank you for such a perfect last minute getaway. We have had such a peaceful few days here. Will defintely return to our perfect bolthole
