We're delighted to welcome Dolaumaen Isaf back as a letting cottage with Under the Thatch. This beautiful barn is peacefully located in the wild hills of the Preselis, yet near enough to some of the best beaches in Wales (about 20/25 minutes) - it is a super place to relax. Artist/ ceramicist owners Yoshie and Robin live just a hundred yards down the track where they have a pottery studio, and you can feel their Japanese heritage in the immaculately kept interior and small, lovely artistic touches in every room - it's a world away from staying in the second home of a distant landlord that doesn't quite keep on top of the maintenance!. The chief delight inside is a remarkable collection of country furniture and artworks, of the quality and kind that tells you how much the family loves this house. Enjoy wonderful hiking right from the door, you can even explore the nearby prehistoric quarry from where the Stonehenge bluestones were cut. Summer breaks will be beaches and mountain meadows and perhaps trips down to Tenby, winter escapes enjoyed fireside and in the sauna (modest fee applies for the sauna). A great choice for families, and those who want a bit of mountain wilderness, yet with easy access to the very best beaches like Mwnt, Poppit Sands and the Parrog at Trefdraeth. You can book sister property Y Felin Dolaumaen here, to accommodate two additional guests.

Absolutely fantastic stay. Beautiful cottage in a stunning location. Perfectly suited our family of 4. The girls (aged 9 and 6) loved being upstairs. The cottage had everything we needed and was lovely to boot - great craftsmanship and style. The garden was great. We'd certainly recommend it and will come again.

The cottage exceeded expectations. It was a feast for the eyes as it was beautifully appointed and styled. The pottery pieces throughout were glorious. Robin was very welcoming (thank you so much for the grapes from your poly tunnel). There was not one thing we could fault. Everything was extremely comfortable and comforting …the bed, sofa, the log burner…and the garden and surrounding areas were a joy for the dog (and us). Sitting at the dining table looking out over the views was a balm for the soul. We cannot recommend this cottage highly enough. Thank you so much.

The cottage was clean, tidy and well stocked with everything we needed. The bed was comfortable. There was enough room for us and our 2 dogs. The location was peaceful with county walks within easy distance.
