About this property

Beautifully Renovated Stable & Cart House | Peaceful West Wales Farm Stay


‘Y Cartws’ is a beautifully renovated former stable and cart house set on our family-run sheep and beef farm, Maesyfelin, in the heart of West Wales. Owned and cared for by Paul and Eirlys Williams, the farm has been in the family for seven generations, offering guests a truly authentic countryside experience.

Surrounded by acres of rolling green fields, Y Cartws is a peaceful rural retreat where you can relax, unwind, and enjoy the slower pace of farm life. Whether you’re exploring the stunning West Wales coastline or simply soaking in the tranquillity, it’s the perfect place to escape.

Guests are warmly welcomed to experience life on a working farm. If you visit during March and April, you may even catch the magic of lambing season – and perhaps help feed our orphan lambs (a favourite with visitors of all ages!).

As night falls, the lack of light pollution makes this an ideal spot for stargazing, with clear dark skies on fine evenings. For something a little different, guests are also welcome to fly drones from our fields and capture the beauty of the surrounding landscape.

Inside, the cottage blends character and comfort. The ground floor features a spacious farmhouse kitchen, a cosy living room, and a separate utility area. Upstairs you’ll find two comfortable bedrooms – one double and one twin – along with a modern shower room. A cot and additional single bed can also be provided if needed, making the cottage ideal for families.

Y Cartws is both family-friendly and pet-friendly, with plenty of outdoor space for children to enjoy. Guests are welcome to explore the fields (when livestock are not present) and make the most of the fresh country air.

Outside, there is a seating area with a table and bench, as well as a private spot just a short stroll from the cottage with table and chairs where you can relax and take in uninterrupted views across the surrounding farmland – the perfect place for a morning coffee or evening drink.

Additional amenities include:

* Free Wi-Fi throughout
* Oil central heating
* Towels provided
* High chair, cot, and stair gate available
* Ample parking
* Good mobile signal (EE network)

Really wonderful stay in a very comfortable home on a welcoming sheep farm in the west Wales countryside. Its deep in the country but its an easy drive to the Pembrokeshire beaches to the north, south and west. Its a stunning part of the world. We particularly liked Mwnt, St Davids Head and Marloes Sands. After a long day on the beach, it was always a pleasure to return to the farm.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Perfect location with a beautiful surroundings. Well located, everything seemed just half an hour away. Stunning night sky, never seen anything like it. The cottage itself was perfect, cosy, well equipped and felt like home. Eirlys and Paul were there if you needed them otherwise you just carry on as usual, a friendly welcome or bara brith and fresh eggs. Our children made new friends in Mai, Ben and Bella the farm dogs, for children that aren’t too keen or used to dogs they absolutely loved these friendly pups. The surrounding town of Cardigan is amazing, the beaches of Mwnt and Poppit Sands are great beaches. Plenty of culture, history and wildlife nearby and amazing views just on the drive in to Cardigan.

Relaxing getaway in fabulous family accommodation

Eirlys, Paul and their two sons were very kind and friendly hosts. Whilst we had some trouble finding the accommodation, Eirlys came to the rescue and there was no looking back. The barn, which has been converted into accommodation, is spacious and very well appointed. Apart from food and personal affects, everything that we needed was supplied. We particularly enjoyed the farm fresh eggs, milk and cake that was waiting for us when we arrived. The farm, Y-Cartws, is in a central location in the south. It was easy to visit the highlights of the Pembrokshire region. Eirlys gave us some good recommendations and a walking guide book that helped us to decide on our daily adventures. Another highlight was a little tour of the farm that enabled my nearly one year old son to see sheep and chickens for the first time. For those wishing to stay here, the easiest way to find it is to type "Y Cartws holiday cottage" into Google Maps, and it will direct you to the exact location. Thank you for having us, Eirlys and family!

About the host

Hosted by Eirlys Williams

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Eirlys Williams, and together with my husband Paul, we warmly welcome you to Maesyfelin.

Paul’s family have lived and farmed here for generations—we are proud to be the seventh generation on this land. Around 20 years ago, we carefully converted Y Cartws from its original use as a stable and cart house into the cosy holiday cottage it is today, and for the past 19 years we’ve enjoyed welcoming guests from near and far.

I look after all aspects of the cottage to make sure your stay is as comfortable and relaxing as possible, from keeping everything spotless to adding thoughtful touches along the way. As fluent Welsh speakers and lifelong locals, we’re always happy to share our knowledge of the area—whether you’re looking for peaceful walks, hidden gems, or family-friendly days out (and we can even teach you a few Welsh words too!).

We love welcoming couples and families who are looking to slow down, enjoy the peaceful surroundings, and explore this beautiful part of West Wales.

The cottage is set on our working sheep and beef farm in the heart of the countryside, just a stone’s throw from the Preseli Hills and the stunning Pembrokeshire coastline—perfect for walking, exploring, and unwinding.

We’re always nearby and happy to help with anything you need, while still giving you the space to relax and enjoy your holiday at your own pace.

Why they chose this property

We feel incredibly lucky to live in this special part of West Wales, and it’s something we never take for granted. The area offers a true sense of peace and space, where life moves at a slower, more relaxed pace.

What we love most is the balance between tranquillity and adventure. From the cottage, you can enjoy the quiet of the countryside—waking up to birdsong, open views, and the rhythm of farm life—yet within a short distance you have access to the beautiful Preseli Hills and the breathtaking Pembrokeshire coastline.

There’s so much to explore, whether it’s scenic walks, hidden coves, sandy beaches, or charming local villages. It’s perfect for couples looking to unwind and reconnect, as well as families wanting to spend quality time together outdoors.

For us, it’s the combination of unspoilt natural beauty, fresh air, and the feeling of getting away from it all that makes this area so special—and we love being able to share that with our guests.

What makes this property unique


Set in a truly peaceful rural location, Y Cartws is surrounded by the sights and sounds of the countryside. Wake to birdsong, watch red kites soaring overhead, and as evening falls, listen for the gentle call of owls. On clear nights, the dark, unspoilt skies make this a perfect spot for unforgettable stargazing.

Ideally located near the borders of Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion, and Carmarthenshire, Y Cartws offers easy access to some of West Wales’ most beautiful beaches and coastal scenery — all within a short drive, whichever direction you choose to explore.

For everyday essentials, a local shop and garage are just a mile away. The popular market town of Narberth is nearby, known for its independent boutiques, welcoming cafés, and excellent places to eat.

A little further north lies Cardigan, a vibrant market town rich in history and culture. Set along the River Teifi, Cardigan offers a mix of heritage and modern charm, from exploring Cardigan Castle to enjoying riverside walks or even taking a boat trip out towards the estuary.
