Description
Resting on top of Dinas Mountain on the outskirts of Dinas Cross, Pembrokeshire is this beautiful, detached barn conversion, Tŷ Mellen.
Hosting four guests in two bedrooms, the detached cottage is full of character for a unique retreat in a rural location away from the hustle and bustle.
Drive up a farm lane to find the stone cottage sitting picture-perfect just next to the owner's property, where you can leave your car in the off-road parking space and take in the panoramic views.
Step through the pretty, Preseli blue doors and be welcomed into the open-plan kitchen/diner; white-washed walls, quaint little windows and hard wooden floors make for a charming space to rustle up home-cooked meals using the electric Smeg Ceramic cooker, whilst the dishwasher and washing machine help you keep everything clean.
Dine at the rustic wooden table with pew benches to enjoy a meal with your loved ones after an adventure-filled along the Pembrokeshire coast.
On colder days, retreat to the warmth of the woodburning stove in the sitting room, with sofas to sink into, a TV for entertainment, or simply rest with a good book in hand.
Freshen up in the ground-floor shower room with a walk-in shower to rinse the day away, before catching your rest in one of two bedrooms; a ground-floor double also has outside access to start the day with mountain-fresh air, whilst upstairs a mezzanine family room with double and twin is a snug room with sloped ceilings, exposed beams and sea views from the Velux windows.
Why not rise early to catch the sunrise with your morning coffee at the picnic bench?
Wherever you stand around Tŷ Mellen, you'll be treated with sweeping views across the countryside or all the way down the coast, whilst the sheep gently graze around the property.
A short walk and climb over a stile will take you onto the renowned Pembrokeshire Coast Path, making this a walker's paradise; picturesque coves, beaches and rugged coastlines await avid explorers, wildlife enthusiasts or those seeking a sandy spot to soak up the sun.
For self-catering essentials, take a short drive into Dinas for two well stocked small shops that sell local and familiar staples.
Supermarkets are found just a little further in either direction.
You’ll find The Bridgend Inn nearby in the valley at Llanychaer or The Castle Inn in Newport.
Pwllgwaelod Beach and Aberfforest Beach are two nearby sanctuaries to dip your toes in the sea, or venture to the historic hamlet of Cwm yr Eglwys.
The coastal town of Fishguard is home to a bustling bay, the ruins of Fishguard Fort and Rhos Wdig nature reserve, whilst Newport is a lovely day out to visit Ty Twt Dolls’ House and Toy Museum.
With gorgeous coastlines and countryside on its unique doorstep, choose Tŷ Mellen for your Pembrokeshire base.

Beautiful quiet, remote up in mountains, yet easy 15 min drive to coast and beaches.
Beautiful area to explore. Still lots of other places to explore after 2 weeks.
This cottage was SO well placed I'd have loved to live there: views of the hills, views of the sea, views of the countryside and loads of sheep to chat to.
The stone cottage was lovely and cool in the super hot weather we experienced at the time of our visit. Due to the extreme heat the cottage struggled to handle all the moisture, and water pooled on the cool floors in places; we just wiped it up. The kitchen was well stocked and the bed we used in the downstairs bedroom was really comfy. My wife took her morning tea looking out of the upstairs roof window, watching the sea. I got to be in the middle of an epic thunderstorm through the same window one night; excellent experience. We also watched the sun go down from here, you can open the window and stand up through the roof, it was lovely. Where the listing says no low slung cars for the driveway, take heed. Its barely more than a track, it was nice throw out the wife to open the three gates along the route; it's well worth the adventure. The welcome pack was outstanding, thank you very much. Our only bugbear was the instructions book was out of date, and on the joining instructions the key safe was actually broken. We eventually checked the door handle and the cottage was open with the key on the table. Small things. We came and went every day to visit all over the place, so many things to see and do; the coastline is epic. We bumped into one of the owners on a couple of occasions, very personable, and he gave us some good ideas for places to visit; ask him about his golf shed.
A beautiful place: remote and relaxing.
The house if very comfortable and the kitchen a particularly good social area. The owner Kathryn is attentive, discreet and cares about her guests.
