Gwaun Valley Mill
Fishguard & Goodwick, Pembrokeshire · sleeps 6 · 3 bedrooms
The old mill of the Gwaun — wheel and workings preserved behind glass, the millstream still running beneath a bedroom floor window — sits in the valley where time genuinely runs differently (the Gwaun still toasts New Year by the old calendar on 13 January). Oakwoods, otters and owls are the neighbours.
Three bedrooms across the mill floors, a fireplace worth building evenings around, and a garden running to the stream. Bessie's — the Dyffryn Arms, beer through a hatch, unchanged in living memory — is a walk down the lane. Newport, Carn Ingli and the north beaches are all within fifteen minutes when the valley lets you leave.
Why we recommend it
