  • "Wonderful property, finished to the highest specification, with every amenity you would need and more!"

    The owner Pam was very accommodating to us providing a lovely cot, high chair and even a basket of toys for our baby! Such a spacious and incredibly clean property as well an amazing garden with fantastic views- perfect for if you are staying with a dog. Hot tub was amazing, even in the rain! Underfloor heating throughout and a cosy log burner which was very welcomed after wet dog walks! 30 minutes from Tenby, 15 minutes from Narberth which has lots of lovely independent shops and cafes- definitely worth a visit. Spar 3 minutes drive away which was really well stocked and has everything you need! Highly recommend this property for exploring Pembrokeshire.

    Thank you for your lovely comments and glad you enjoyed your stay. I was happy to leave some toys for the baby to enjoy. Thank you for visiting our property. Property Owner

  • "The property itself was fantastic."

    Spacious and facilities were all clean and we all throughly enjoyed the hot tub. Beds were comfortable and lovely and warm building. We had 4 adults and a baby and had amble space but as usual, spent time in the kitchen around the island chatting. The weather wasn’t great on our trip but the garden is large and had a great bbq area. Outside shower is brilliant and hot for showering before and after hot tub dips! Only critical point is that unfortunately the road can be loud when large tractors / haulage comes past, especially in the master bedroom at night. This didn’t bother us but was not mentioned in property description. Of course we are aware this cannot be changed and is no reflection on the amazing owners.

    Thank you so much for your kind words and glad you had a good time although the weather wasn't the best for you. I understand your point regarding the road but unfortunately that is something we can't change but glad it didn't bother you too much. Property Owner

  • "Property was amazing, exactly as the pictures and lovely finishes inside."

    The views from the balcony were breath taking as we sat and watched an abundance of Red Kites playing/fighting and hunting daily amongst other wildlife. The grassed field was perfect for our two dogs to go play in and no danger of them escaping onto the nearby road. The road was a little loud but I have lived near main roads all my life so could easily block out the sound. The fire is lovely to sit round in the kitchen but could do with a proper relaxing sofa down there instead of the two chairs, I think we wouldn’t have left the kitchen if that was the case as the bi-folding doors would have been nice to have open whilst sat. The hot tub is a nice touch too, we have one at home so don’t use it as much as others would but still had a dip on the last day. Bed were comfy and underfloor heating absolute perfect for on a night as kept the place snug and warm. Would definitely book again and can’t recommend enough.

    Thank you for your kind words. I understand your comment regarding the two chairs in the kitchen and will think about changing them. It sounds as if you had a really good time and looking forward to you visiting again. Property Owner

    We loved the underfloor heating (and so did our baby who enjoyed the warm floors) and the hot tub. The owners went above and beyond for us to make our trip as easy as possible with a small baby and a toddler, purchasing a cot so that we didn't have to bring one with us and providing a high chair and toys (unexpected but much appreciated). We couldn't fault it and would love to return

    The owners Pam and Russell are really friendly and welcoming. It is a stunning property and the grounds are perfect if you have a dog as it is fully enclosed. It is first class accommodation and definately a 5 star. So if you are looking for luxury look no further.

    The owner was so nice and welcoming, but respected our privacy. It was great watching the sheep in the fields at the back from the upstairs lounge balcony. Our dog was so happy running about in the enclosed garden, chasing her ball. Our 2 issues were the lounge was very hot and bright and some form of blind would have been helpful, as it was impossible to watch TV until it went dark, and also because of the location, we had to drive 35-45 mins to get anywhere of interest ie beaches, towns, castles. Overall though we did have a wonderful holiday, and it was a super property.

    Thank you very much for your comments and glad to know that you and the dog enjoyed your stay. Your comment regarding the brightness in the lounge is definitely something I will look into. Thank you. Property Owner

    The garden is large and enclosed, safe for dogs. Lovely hot tub. We didn't go far as the weather wasn't great - but we didn't mind as we got to spend more time indoors in total relaxation. Narberth about a 10 minutes drive, if that. Beautiful views from the balcony where I enjoyed a few glasses of wine. All smart TVs so was great to log in to prime / Netflix. It is in the main road, but we knew that and it didn't bother us at all! Hosts lovely - really responsive, down the road, but respect your privacy. Just loved it. Thank you for our stay ☺️.

    Beds really comfortable. Garden good for dog very secure and the field behind great for zoomies. There wasn't much in the way of instructions about the appliances but luckily they were similar to our own so no problem using them. Main downside for us was the fact that the Barn is right on a very busy road with traffic noise from 06.00-09.00 am every morning which we found a bit difficult.

There were clear instructions as to how everything worked and Pam was very responsive, helpful and friendly. The property is modern, spacious and clean, lovely views with a private enclosed garden. It was the perfect base for exploring South Wales, lots of places to visit, go on walks and good food establishments all near by. We would highly recommend.

Under an hour away from surrounding seasides (st David’s, Tenby, Fishguard) giving you plenty of options for things to do and places to see.
