Hidden in an peaceful green woodland a short stroll away from the ocean, Y Berllan Hideaway is a spacious handcrafted log cabin that beckons a magical family adventure. Wake to the sound of birds each morning, before enjoying an al fresco breakfast on the balcony, surrounded by leafy trees and ferns. Spend your days at the nearby beach, Cwm yr Eglwys, exploring the rocky shoreline and swimming in the sheltered bay, or venture along Pembrokeshire’s coastline to discover breathtaking views around every corner. And to wind down each evening, gather around the fire pit toasting marshmallows and sipping hot chocolate before falling into a deep slumber.

Cabin in Pembrokeshire: Set in an ancient woodland glade just a short stroll away from a beautiful secluded cove, this rustic retreat is a haven for families seeking a tranquil escape in nature. Savour long days exploring the coast followed by cosy evenings under the stars, amongst the trees.
Overview
Step Inside
From the moment you arrive and wander up the cobbled pathway to Y Berllan Hideaway, you’ll be enchanted by its fairytale-esque charm. This rustic wooden cabin is a world away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, nestled in its own woodland glade encompassed by lush greenery. A beautiful, handcrafted verandah wraps around the exterior; the perfect spot for relaxing with a good book amongst the trees.
Inside, the cabin’s charm continues, with floor-to-ceiling wooden cladding and country-style details and furnishings creating a warm, inviting space. The open plan living area provides ample room to unwind, play board games or watch a movie, with soft sofas to curl up in and a cosy woodburner for cooler evenings. There’s plenty of room for your four-legged family members too, who are most welcome to enjoy Y Berllan Hideaway with you.
Tuck into a hearty post-beach meal in the dining area – you’ll find everything you need to prepare your favourite dishes from scratch in the fully-stocked kitchen, including an electric oven, fridge, microwave and dishwasher.
In the main bedroom, the comfy double bed looks out over the surrounding woodland, so you can open the blinds to see golden dappled light through the trees as you sip your morning coffee. There are two other bedrooms with single beds, so everyone gets their own space for a peaceful night’s sleep.
In the family-sized bathroom you’ll find a bathtub and a hot shower to wash off the salt and sand at the end of your day on the coast, as well as a washing machine should you need to freshen up your clothes or towels.
Outdoors
The decked balcony and wooden garden furniture offer plenty of opportunities for outdoor dining with views of the ancient woodland, or reclining with a glass of wine whilst the children play in the spacious garden. The trees create a beautiful natural cocoon of privacy around the cabin too – your own little slice of woodland paradise.
As the day comes to a close, fire up the barbecue for a smokey feast under pink sunset skies, then gather around the fire pit as pink fades to inky blue and the glittering stars come out. The cabin’s outdoor fairylights only add to the magic.
Explore
With mile-upon-mile of rugged coastline, sweeping sandy beaches and unspoilt countryside on Y Berllan Hideaway’s doorstep, there’s an abundance of natural beauty to discover during your stay. Just a short walk away from the cabin you’ll find the small picturesque beach of Cwm yr Eglwy – though the county of Pembrokeshire is surrounded by ocean on three sides, so there are no shortage of idyllic beaches to explore within driving distance. In fact, this stunning county has the highest concentration of Blue Flag beaches in the UK, so there’s a coastal adventure for everyone here, from rockpooling and wild swimming in hidden coves to sea-kayaking or surfing at one of the many nearby breaks. Walkers will be in their element on the world-renowned Pembrokeshire section of the Wales Coast Path too, with mesmerising scenery and an array of wonderful birdlife and marine life to look out for above and below the craggy cliffs.
If you’re looking for somewhere to sample the local food and drink, there are plenty of excellent eateries in the nearby coastal towns. For a pint of real ale and a hearty lunch, head to The Royal Oak, a historic pub in picturesque Fishguard. Or if freshly-caught seafood in a relaxed setting sounds appealing, try Tides Kitchen & Wine Bar in the market town at Newport.

Y Berllan Hideaway was exactly what it sounds like — a simple, peaceful hideaway among the trees. A fantastic location for exploring the Pembrokeshire coastline!

Unique accommodation and location in a wild setting. Close by to two beaches. One of which has an excellent pub (sailors rest).

was lovely stay. Couldn't find it at first, maybe better sign would do the trick. But when we arrived it was just relaxing, like in the middle of the woods, birds singing. When we had storm, it was amazing to wake up to rain drops falling viciously onto the roof. Cottage was cosy, well equipped. Went for day trips round the area and we were looking forward to spend evening in front of the fire.

What a wonderful romantic hide away, everything was so well planned and equipped.
Little touches like torches by the door and the welcome bottle of Prosecco and cake.
We look forward to our return
Thank you

This was the perfect relaxing retreat to unwind and spend some time in nature! Our dog also had a lovely time and there was plenty of space for all of us. Although the garden is not fully secure, the marshy bits were sufficient to keep her where we wanted. It was super convenient being so close to the beach and near lots of lovely walks, would recommend doing a loop around the headland, then climbing back up the coastal path on the other side of the beach and coming back via Bryn-Henllan. The nearby town of Newport was also lovely with some nice shops, and another excellent walk up Mynydd Carningli gives you stunning views of the bay. We also enjoyed spending the evening outside with the firepit and listen to the sea crashing down in the distance. Would highly recommend!

This cabin is perfectly placed to offer you a truly away from it all experience.
With the reopening of the Sailors Safety pub and restaurant you really do n’t even need a car to walk out into the most amazing scenery. Swim at the beach, walk the coastline.
The cabin is warm , snug and comfortable.
An unforgettable holiday for us an outdoorsy couple …

If you want peace and tranquility this log cabin is ideal. And close to the sea for a swim and coastal path. As it is surrounded by trees it can be damp and cold. The woodburner helps a great deal, so make sure there are enough logs in the basket. We had very few and very short ones for the type of woodburner.

Great place to stay if you want to get away from it all, not much signal and no WiFi makes it the perfect reset holiday. The beach is a short stroll away and is beautiful but don’t rely on the walkable pub, it unfortunately didn’t open during our stay. Big plus for us was the super comfy beds and being dog friendly

The perfect peaceful get away, to recharge our batteries, we didn't want to leave. Everything we needed was on hand, lovely comfortable bed. Don't forget your wellies! ??

I do suggest real pictures not fish eye - you need to give us a real impression of what to expect not an estate agents view!

Very unhappy that the property was dirty even when I requested it to be clean. There were rodents.

Location and veranda good, although rather weather dependent. Sadly the whole village is full of holiday cottages. Sleeping arrangements quite tight. Don’t think it would be suitable for most families as garden unsafe for small children and lack of wifi and local amenities would be off putting for older children/teenagers.

This truly is a magical holiday home.
You have beautiful views and privacy in a warm cosy environment.
Park car outside path that leads to cottage to offload luggage then remove to parking slot a few minutes away. Collect wheelbarrow from cottage - great help.
Write door pass code on a note pad as you cannot revisit site when at Y Berllan as there is no WiFi.
Love the beautiful private wood glade and the sparkling clean, warm lodge.
We have stayed twice now. Enjoy.
Temple Bar Cafe on left out of Newport. Organic meals, warm welcome, woid burner. Organic produce for sale. Jenny, Proprietor is lovely Open Sat and Sundays.

Great location with walks from the door in a very peaceful setting. Close to Newport which has some brilliant eateries (try PWNC cafe, The Canteen, Tides, Llys Meddyg). We loved the Dinas walk!

Beautiful log cabin. Very spacious. All mod cons supplied.
Just to advise O2 phone customers. There is no signal on O2 ( even though it states on the website at its excellent ) but my partner is with EE and was fine. Ideal base location to visit local coves and beaches. Booking was minimum of 1 week but kept busy daily with excursions and chilling with a good book on the 2 rainy days. Dogs loved it!! Prosecco and Welsh cakes a nice touch

We wanted a quiet holiday with our dogs to get away from the hustle and bustle of our daily lives and this didn’t disappoint. Perfectly secluded and beautiful location would highly recommend.

If you are after a quiet peaceful holiday close to the beach and have a keen interest in wildlife whilst staying in a comfortable wooden cabin. Then this is the holiday for you.
If you need shops and pubs close by in easy walking distance then best avoid.
However this property is its charm in the fact it is a five minute drive to the nearest shop making the cabin peaceful and relaxing.

Absolutely fabulous, no WiFi no internet, just nature, we had a wonderful week, the beach was easy walking distance and dog friendly, the bats in the evening were stunning, I wish I owned this cabin, will definitely be returning. The cabin has a marsh by it so we took citronella candles and they kept the mosquitos at bay nicely. Thanks for a beautiful location.

Unique accommodation in a lovely setting, close to the coastal path and within easy walking distance from two lovely coves. Perfect for dogs, excellent walks from the door and lots of lovely coves in each direction. Delicious pop up pasta van on the site of the boat club in nearby Newport, highly recommended, especially the focaccia. Peaceful garden which gets the afternoon sun, very relaxing after those long walks!

We had a super week at this delightful secluded hideaway. Everything we needed, fabulous walks etc. Please note nearest shop, is Keil House in Dinas Cross or petrol station. PUB The Old Sailor, ( 10 mins flat sheltered walk at Pwllgwelod beach), is open 11am to 5 pm on Tuesdays to Sundays. Thoroughly recommend this hideaway for a holiday ??

We loved our stay here! Total peace, yet lots of adventure on your doorstep. The lovely beach was a 3 minute walk from log cabin gate to feet on the sand (I timed it!) - this beach was our favourite, lots of rocks to climb, crabbing, kayaks and boats to rent, and dog friendly too. The log cabin had everything we needed and the beds were comfy. There is no WiFi in the log cabin as it’s a remote location, but I had great signal for EE, but o2 had none - just a pre warning! Lovely welcome hamper when we arrived with wine, Welsh cakes and Welsh tea, well needed after a long drive! The location of the cabin is very well hidden and took us a while to find, but luckily I had read another review with directions - walk out the carpark the way you drove in, turn immediately right and walk up the narrow road until you come to a house with two black garage doors on the ground floor. To the right of the house is a narrow public footpath - walk down this pathway until you reach the gate straight ahead of you. The wheelbarrow for belongings is provided and well needed - quite a few trips to and from the car! As a bonus, the kitchen was upgraded when we arrived, nothing like the photos! We loved the cabin, the log burner, and the cosy evenings and gorgeous mornings listening to the birds. Well worth a stay, lovely locals and a beautiful location for a peaceful getaway. We took two children and two dogs and they were thoroughly entertained all week! We would definitely stay again.

Loved the cabin, loved the peace, loved the wildlife, loved just hearing birdsong and sheep bleating!
Loved walking on the coast path, loved the little cove. It was an incredibly restorative break for us.

We had a truly relaxing stay at
Y Brenllan. The log cabin is hidden away from the outside world as you enter a peaceful, magical forest glade with lovely views m, which continue from the log cabin. The log fire makes the place so cosy and the furniture is comfortable and stylish.
Bluebells were flowering. The snug catches the afternoon and evening sun.
Two beaches lie within easy walking distance.
If you are planning to walk around the headland (Dinas Head) this can take you up to 4 hours (with rests) depending on your walking ability. The sign states it can take 1 hour! Also, if you are squeamish about heights, you might find some of the coastal paths a bit narrow!!!
ON ARRIVAL at the hamlet of Cwm yr Eglwys we suggest you leave the car in the carpark in the space provided for “log cabin’ and get your bearings by walking. Turn immediately right out of the car park and walk to the first house on your right (white) turn right down a narrow path (this is found between the white house and Cegroes and walk 100 yards to the entrance gate of
Y Brenllan.
We had a special time and can’t wait to go back again!!! Deborah and David, May 2021.
