about the property

A Pembrokeshire family-friendly waterfront holiday cottage of the highest quality.

Being located right on one of the most picturesque waterfronts in Pembrokeshire is likely enough to make anyone's holiday. Happy days then, that we can also offer a family-friendly cottage of the highest standard. 

Local owners mean that this beautifully renovated Victorian home is always in tip-top condition, and there's no denying the quality cottage interior, including an impressively large open plan kitchen/ dining/ family room with water views. Upstairs splits nicely into two wings, with two bedrooms and a quality shower room in each.

Locations simply don't get better than this in West Wales, and it's no surprise that this property was used a set in the celebrated film of Under Milk Wood (with Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor).  If you're also feeling the romance, or if you simply want to get out onto that amazing water, then just ask Ed the owner if you can borrow his double kayak (at own risk, buoyancy aids available). Formerly known as 'Quay House'.

We had a wonderful week at Gwel y Cei- what a fantastic house. Really comfortable and warm with a lovely atmosphere. Great for getting around and we had some really nice weather followed by some not so good weather but enjoyed it all anyway. We would love to come back in the future. A great week !

Beautiful house and great location, each morning had a swim in the quay then off visiting lots of lovely places, blue lagoon, newgale beach lots of lovely local walks. Pub for food walking distance would recommend. Would highly recommend staying here, everything you need is here. Such a beautiful place.

This cottage is in a great location - facing the estuary- and is super comfortable with good layout and facilities. The owner could not have been more accommodating. You can swim off the quay and there is splendid cafe there too. Highly recommend it.

We had a very relaxing weekend at Gwêl y Cei. The house is beautiful. Thank you Ed for the Royal Oak recommendation, we ate there twice. Also had walks and runs on the coastal path and a drink in the Ship Inn. Haverfordwest Parkrun was very friendly. We can't wait to come back again.

We had a wonderful stay at Gwel y Cei. The house is beautifully furnished with some gorgeous touches like local textiles and upcycled furniture. There was plenty of room for four adults to sit together or do their own thing. All the beds were comfy and the bathrooms luxurious. We swam in the Quay, walked the coast path and checked out the local pubs. A perfect February weekend, we will be recommending Gwel y Cei to friends. Diolch!

Our first time on this part of the Welsh Coast and it was a lovely post-Christmas break. Holiday home was very well equipped, Christmas decorations and lights a lovely seasonal touch and the views and walks from the door gorgeous. Weather not brilliant but it was so comfortable indoors it didn't matter. Unexpected grandstand view of New Year's Eve firework display and Queen tribute band might have disturbed dogs or children but we didn't have either so enjoyed it! Thank you for a lovely stay in a beautiful house. Frances & Ken
