Well, who wouldn’t want to be situated on a fantastic one hundred and twenty acre private estate brimming with wildlife, green fields, bluebell woods, rivers and stunning picnic spots! Raven Cottage boasts three gorgeous bedrooms and fantastic, contemporary upside down living. The cottage was once a farm shearing shed and the fabulous award winning architects Rio Architects have done a brilliant job of blending contemporary design with ancient charms.
Raven Cottage sits next to the old farmyard on the brilliant Pontardawe Country Estate in the ancient hamlet of Cilybebyll, surrounded by beautiful rolling Welsh countryside. The historic estate boasts links to the descendants of Welsh Kings, Arthurian legend, tales of the Mabinogion, the Norman invasion, the Earls of Pembrokeshire, Winston Churchill’s secret army, eighteenth century prisons, Charles II, the tea plantations of Ceylon, coal mining, the Industrial Revolution and much more. A World War II hideout, used by Churchill’s Secret Army was found in the estate’s private bluebell woodland and gained recognition as a Scheduled Ancient Monument of national importance. In addition to its superb grounds, the Pontardawe Estate boasts a gorgeous manor house, Pontardawe Country House, as well as a number of other holiday cottages that Oliver’s Travels also feature. Guests can book each of these individually or for a special celebration, you may want to consider booking a selection of the cottages with or without the manor house. Guests staying at the cottages are free to roam the estate, enjoying the beautiful natural scenery and its amazing wildlife.
Sleeping six guests in luxurious comfort, the cottage boasts sumptuous furnishings throughout and a calm, neutral colour palette. The walls are decorated with beautiful local art by prominent artists. A display coffee table is filled with centuries old artefacts and curiosities found by metal detectorists at the farm over the years. One of the highlights is an old button which features a raven which was part of an army of ravens that protected a Welsh Prince of the Dark Ages from whom previous owners of the farm claim descent. You will be enthralled with the history of this place! This story is told in the Welsh medieval Tales of the Mabinogion and depicted in an art print by famed Lord of the Rings illustrator Alan Lee which hangs in the living room of the cottage. Despite all this history, the upstairs living area offers the contemporary wow factor and offers wonderful views of the estate. With a snazzy, brilliant white kitchen offering the very best in appliances, dining for six and a large living area brimming with comfy sofas and chairs, it is a wonderful modern space. Guests enjoy sitting in the reading chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows enjoying the scenery as well as watching the 150 channels available on the Smart television. There is also a useful toilet on the first floor.
The beautifully finished bedrooms are downstairs with the spacious master looking out to the old farmyard. Its modern furniture is complemented by a section of exposed blue pennant sandstone wall. The comfy bed is adorned with luxury linens and beautiful soft furnishings. At the other end of the cottage you will find a beautiful twin bedroom and another twin where the beds can be put together to form a kingsize bed. Again, the rooms are beautifully finished in neutral tones and the occasional colour pop. Separating the master from these two bedrooms is a super cool family bathroom with a fabulous standalone bath with waterfall taps as well as a superb, walk-in rainfall shower. You will want to linger in this luxurious, indulgent bathroom for sure! Raven Cottage is always warm and toasty, heated by renewable biomass and insulated by sheep’s wool which is wonderful considering the building’s past!
Outside, the cottage enjoys its own private garden and parking area. Here you can enjoy alfresco dining in the fresh country air using the cottage’s barbecue. You might even find the enchanted stone tree in one of the stone walls. If you can bare to leave this beautiful, modern retreat then the farm trail starts right from the cottage doorstep! A short farm road also takes you along the bank of the pretty River Clyach and into the beautiful bluebell wood. Guests can have food delivered from the local supermarket in Pontardawe, so you do not even need to leave this idyllic corner of Wales.
Raven Cottage enjoys a fabulous position on the one hundred and twenty acre Pontardawe Country Estate in the tranquil hamlet of Cilybebyll, close to the village of Pontardawe. The estate is absolutely beautiful, full of forests, rivers, bluebell woods, sprawling fields, bird nesting boxes, beautiful picnic spots, a stately manor house and other holiday cottages. It is the perfect rural retreat between the Gower Peninsula and the Brecon Beacons National Park. The estate courtyard where many of the cottages are located is bounded by the upper reaches of the picturesque River Clydach and on the other side by green parkland pastures grazed by sheep and cows. The high hills of blue pennant sandstone provide the backdrop to an idyllic and tranquil scene. Guests booking Raven Cottage are free to roam the estate including its award winning bluebell woodland. The estate’s farm walk is a circular walk for guests which meanders from the doorstep of Raven Cottage towards the summit of Mynydd Marchywel and back. En route, guests follow mountain streams, climb over stiles, explore the bluebell woods and traverse lazy green fields. On a clear day, the panoramic vistas include the Swansea Valley, Swansea Bay, the Bristol Channel and the Brecon Beacons National Park. The cottage is an excellent base for those that want to explore the landscapes by bike. The Afan Forest and Bike Park Wales are easily accessible.
The beautiful Swansea Bay coastline and the Gower Peninsula with its idyllic secret coves in and glorious stretches of fine sand is just twenty minutes drive away. You should not miss a trip to the iconic, award winning Rhossili Bay with its dramatic, panoramic views and excellent hiking paths. Rhossili has been described as ‘The supermodel of British beaches’ by The Independent and has won numerous accolades from UK Travel Writers including the best spot for a picnic. The Times listed the beach as ‘The UK’s No.1 dog friendly beach’ so if you do have your furry friend with you, you should definitely go. At low tide the beach is enormous and it is possible to walk across to Llangennith or even to the Worms Head. It is steep to walk down to the beach so it is not suitable for pushchairs or visitors with mobility issues.
The Victorian seaside village of Mumbles with its promenade, shops and restaurants is worth a visit. Mumbles was one of Dylan Thomas’ many stamping grounds and is the home of some world class ice cream. Mumbles is steeped in history with its lighthouse being built in 1794. It also boasts a Victorian pier and Oystermouth Castle which sits on the hilltop overlooking the sea. There are lovely boutique shops and galleries including the gorgeous Lovespoon Gallery and the Gower Gallery. No visit to Mumbles would be complete without sampling some ‘fresh off the boat’ seafood, its handmade chocolates and its fantastic ice creams.
Other popular excursions are the National Showcaves of Wales and the Vale of Neath’s spectacular waterfalls. Guests also enjoy visits to the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and the Glamorganshire Heritage Coast, both less than half an hour away.

The Llŷn Peninsula itself is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and as soon as you arrive you’ll see why. The Irish Sea to one side and the stunning Cardigan Bay to the other provides miles and miles of beautiful beaches - while the craggy peaks of Snowdonia in the distance promises breath-taking views while you paddle or dip in the sea. Whether you’re into walking or wildlife or whiling away the hours on the water, you’re bound to find something for you in the area.
The Wales Coast Path runs the entire 84-mile coast of the Llŷn Peninsula, taking in the peaceful coves, dramatic cliffs, sandy, windswept beaches and historic forts along the way. Right at the tip ‘Snowdon’s arm’, this rugged stretch of land branching out across the Irish Sea, is the fishing village of Aberdaron - passed through by the thousands of pilgrims who made their way to Ynys Enlli, the ‘Isle of 20,000 Saints’ each year, now known as the National Nature Reserve of Bardsey Island.

Feel the peace and tranquillity of the rural isolation, with the comfort of knowing you are still in walking distance of the local village pubs and amenities.

Rhiw View benefits from a number of spa-style touches offering deep relaxation. Sweat it out in the property’s sauna, or soak in the bubbles of the spa bath found in one of the four poster king size bedrooms. Spread across two wings, the bedrooms are divided into four super king/king bedrooms, three of which are en-suite, one including a bunk bed, two single beds and a further four single beds that can be zipped and linked to make super-kings on request.

Take to the sea and catch a boat from Porth Meudwy to the beautiful Bardsley Island, a Dark Sky Sanctuary that boasts a wealth of wildlife, dramatic coastline and fascinating history, with even a small amount of accommodation to book a night stay there.
A trip into the Snowdonia national park is a must during your stay. Whether you are looking to climb the highest peaks or just take in the natural beauty of the National Park there is something for everyone. We recommend the Llyn Cwellyn Boardwalk trail, an easy access lakeside walk that meanders between two soaring mountain peaks. Drive a little further in and you will find Llyn Tegid, Wales’s largest natural lake, which is a popular place for paddle boarding, windsurfing and fishing, make sure you get permits booked prior to your visit.
If hiking isn’t your thing then why not hop on board the seasonal Snowdon Railway, surely one of the most picturesque train rides in the world, with stunning scenery and awe-inspiring views you can ride the rail right to the summit without any exertion needed!
Keen golfers will be spolit for choice with a number of excellent clubs and course available.

The gorgeous Riverside Cottage is the latest addition to the collection of unique, luxury holiday cottages on the Pontardawe Country Estate. Previously an outbuilding where animals fed at the farm, the cottage is now a luxurious, romantic retreat for couples. It is all on one level so is also ideal for those with mobility issues. Riverside Cottage sits alongside the Clydach River with a stunning glass fronted patio garden, a very peaceful pretty spot where you can look out for wildlife such as wild trout and grey wagtails and enjoy alfresco dining.
Riverside Cottage has been beautifully renovated and designed to blend luxurious contemporary features with ancient nods from the past. Throughout the cottage you will discover exposed stonework, beams and a vaulted ceiling together with statement lighting, a state-of-the-art rainforest shower and a gleaming kitchen. The furnishings are sumptuous and superbly comfortable. The colour hues are mostly natural and calm, blending beautiful with the natural stone walls and the gorgeous flagstone floor made from Welsh pennant sandstone. The living space is open plan in design and the vaulted ceiling makes it seem incredibly spacious. A dazzling white, glossy kitchen sits at one end with every appliance you could wish for. The breakfast bar is wonderful and accompanied by modern, industrial style stools. A comfy sofa sits next to the exposed stone wall, perfectly positioned to watch any of the 150 channels available on the Smart television. Also provided for your entertainment are a DVD player, a selection of books, maps, cards and games. The cottage will always be warm and cosy with underfloor heating throughout. The brilliant white walls are decorated with beautiful local art including a stunning print by the eighteenth century landscape painter Paul Sandby. The living space is intimate yet has a wonderful open feel with a door that opens to your cottage garden. You should look out for coal fossils in the flower bed wall and historic coping stones that glisten myriad colours in the sunlight.
The bathroom is very indulgent with a gigantic roll top Victorian cast iron bath which was originally from the estate’s manor house. It has been meticulously restored and, in vibrant red, it takes pride of place in Riverside Cottage. If baths are not your thing, there is also a luxurious walk-in rainforest shower.
Your bedroom is beautifully appointed with a super luxurious kingsize bed, beautifully adorned with hotel quality linens and attractive soft furnishings. It features exposed beams, yet more local artwork and a door that opens directly onto the riverside patio, perfect for your morning cup of coffee.

There are so many special walks from the doorstep with spectacular views over the surrounding countryside or you may decide to just relax, watch the glistening stream and read your holiday books in this heavenly space.
