Property code: OC-PW9189

This lovely cottage is the perfect place for a holiday getaway, with wonderful coastal walks in both directions, and attractions to explore on the doorstep. It is one of four converted former farm cottages set in 13 acres of countryside on the outskirts of Trefin (1 mile). The historic little seaside village has pretty painted houses overlooking a small beach, a cafe and a pub, where you can enjoy delicious local produce, including crabs and fish from neighbouring Porthgain. St Davids (8.5 miles) holds the title of Britain’s smallest city and is famous for its magnificent medieval cathedral. Visit this historic building and wander through the beautiful grounds and ruins of the Bishop’s Palace, where grazing sheep and cattle help to conserve the ancient landscape. There are shops, cafes, and galleries in the charming city centre, and you can discover more about this fascinating corner of Pembrokeshire in the impressive Oriel Y Parc Gallery and Visitors’ Centre. Just outside St Davids, Whitesands Bay is a vast, sandy beach with surging waves for surfers and calmer waters at the southern end for swimming and exploring rock pools. Discover a centuries-old tradition that is still thriving at Melin Tregwynt, a whitewashed mill in a hidden valley at Castle Morris (5 miles). Tour the mill to see Welsh woollens such as throws and blankets which have been woven here since the 17th century.

The impressive and roomy, open-plan interior is full of character, featuring some of the original, thick stone walls painted white, and original beams in the kitchen, along with more recent ceiling beams in the dining area. An extra-large window makes this a wonderfully light and airy space, with an elegant wooden dining table that seats eight guests and a stylish reclining chair. A small, deep-set window from the original cottage enhances the atmosphere of the cosy living area. It is also spacious and comfortably furnished, with two inviting leather sofas and a matching armchair on which you can curl up in front of the TV or plan tomorrow’s adventure. There are two steps up to the galley kitchen, fitted with simple, country-style units and there is a ground-floor cloakroom with a WC. An elegant steel and wood spiral staircase leads to the mezzanine floor with a gallery and a comfortable double bedroom. This is simply furnished, with a wooden floor and built-in cupboards, together with a TV and rooflight with a wonderful view of the sea. An en-suite bathroom completes the accommodation.

Outside, a seating area with picnic benches by the side of the cottage has another lovely sea view, and there is also a shared garden with a lawn and play equipment for young children.

Tastefully decorated & very spacious for 2. The recliners added some luxury & comfort for watching the tv in the evening. The field outside was ideal for the dog to run around in. We hope to visit again.

We found The Barn a delight, especially being so near the Coast Path and only about 15 minutes walk from the Pub. It is really spacious, warm and dry with the underfloor heating, and well kitted out. Out in the field at the front you get a fabulous night sky, and even the sweep of Strumble Head light. A lovely place for a restorative holiday on tRead morehe coast. Hide

Lovely, cosy, converted barn in West Wales. Great local walks, from the doorstep, along the coastal path, with stunning views. The property is well equipped with kitchen utensils, clean and inviting. Hosts were brilliant, contacting us prior to arrival to check requirements for travel cot & high chair (available for infants); providing a 'welcomeRead more pack of treats and information, and also checking and fixing the boiler immediately, when we unfortunately lost hot water. Perfect for a relaxing getaway and exploring Pembrokeshire. Thank you Hide

Although the inside of the property was dog-friendly, there was no enclosed garden, meaning we had to have our dog on a leash at all times.
