“The Old Tether Barn has to be one of the best places we have stayed.”

Spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. Everything you needed was there and more. Cannot thank Sue and Rod enough.

“Beautiful cottage in such peaceful surroundings.”

Very comfortable, with lovely homey touches. My husband particularly liked the reclining feature on the sofa!

- Mrs Simpson, September 2020
“Excellent stay at this lovely cottage - furnished to a very high standard with a lot of thought.”

Easy access to lots of Pembrokeshire/Cardigan attractions in under an hour, and always nice to return to this secluded and beautiful rural setting.

- Mr Mcgoay, August 2020
“Old Tether Barn was such a lovely place to stay, so cosy.”

It was a very clean, had been renovated to a very high standard. All the utensils, or electric items you could want. There was a nice added touch of wine, chocolates and fresh flowers. A nice garden with lovely views, and a choice of areas to sit out. Will definitely return. We will recommend Old Tether Barn to family and friends.

- Mrs Worthington, August 2020
“Even better than the pictures!”

Super spacious, well equipped, comfortable, quiet and great views! Briliant for coast and hill walking. Already booked again! Thanks Sue and Rod

- Miss Whitaker, August 2020
“The best cottage we have ever stayed in, superb, isolated, peaceful location overlooking hills and countryside, tranquility at its best!”

The barn is first class in every respect, spacious, warm and brilliantly equipped with everything one could need, a lot of thought has gone into making us feel totally welcome. So many little "extras" that you provided were outstanding, nothing escaped your planning! Thank you Sue & Rod for providing us with such a wonderful location for a relaxing break after such a strange, surreal period of time for us all. We would highly recommend this cottage to anybody wanting a totally relaxing break away from the "rat-race" with absolutely first class facilities and friendly but discreet hosts. Paul & Sue, Mayfield, East Sussex

- Mr Bysouth, August 2020
“The Location is Idyllic, the Barn itself is luxurious and beautiful in the setting overlooking green hills, making waking up to see the sun rise a treat.”

A well stocked cottage giving a comfortable luxurious stay with everything you need to enable you to feel relaxed and happy.

- Mrs Terry, July 2020
“The location was beautifully quite, the twitter of the birds and the gurgle of a nearby stream was perfect.”

Views across the countryside was to take your breath away. As you enter the cottage you immediately experience the sense that someone has taken extreme care in the choice of rustic decoration and overall facilities. The heating was on so a great feeling of welcome overcomes you, so as you explore you continue to be impressed. We ate in every evening to enjoy the wood burner, candles in the bath, along with the odd bottle of medicine, just perfect, thanks Sue and Rod the owners.

- Mr Jarvis, February 2020
“Wonderfully equipped and beautiful cottage in a fantastic location.”

Owners were helpful and kind. We had one of the best breaks ever in this tranquil and beautiful spot in the heart of Pembrokeshire. Hope to return!

- Mr Smith, February 2020
“You get to the Old Tether Barn via an exciting drive along a twisty upward climbing narrow lane, open the gate and you are faced with a breath taking view.”

Old Tether Barn looks out on to the beautiful presili hills. The garden has a strategically placed patio with a table and chairs which catches the sun. Once inside the barn, the quality of decor is first class. A fully fitted kitchen, the bath room is lovey with a big roll top bath (big enough for two). The bed is comfortable and the bedroom has plenty of storage. A beautiful place to stay and unwind.

- Mrs Wigger, September 2019
“My husband and I had a wonderful holiday in Pembrokeshire and the Old Tethered Barn helped make it more special.”

It is a delightful cottage which has been beautifully restored by it's owners.Sue and Rod who have thought of everything to make your stay at their cottage amazing. I loved sitting outside on the patio in the sunshine, reading a book and chose to eat my breakfast, on the twin bench looking out across the beautiful and peaceful countryside, not forgetting to say good morning to their adorable sheep ,who grazed in a nearby field. Although off the beaten track following Rod"s excellent directions you will not get lost. We very much recommend a stay at this wonderful cottage.

- Mrs Martin, August 2019
“This barn is set in a very rural and beautiful location.”

The barn itself is amazing, clean, comfortable and equipped with everything you could possibly need. I cannot recommend this place enough if you want a quiet getaway and/or a base to explore west wales. It’s stunning in itself and the surrounding area.

- Mrs Fairweather, August 2019
“Wonderful location in a spectacular area of countryside, extremely well equipped property which was very comfortable.”

It far exceeded our expectations and is highly recommended.

- Mr Orritt, July 2019
“Absolutely great place had everything we required would definitely go again.”

.

- Mr Davies, July 2019
“Sue & Rod from Old Tether Barn have created a very special & luxurious holiday cottage.”

The attention to detail is second to none & is very evident. We were amazed by the thought that's gone into every convenience - it made our week there a truly memorable one. Very Clean, neat & tidy & superbly organised. Located In a very rural setting, be prepared for sounds of a gurgling brook, plenty chirping bird species, sheep baa's & mooing cows. Absolutely loved it

- Mr Lambert, June 2019
“If you are looking for peace and tranquillity look no further then Old Tether Barn.”

What a find ! This property has everything you need for a relaxing break. It is like home from home with everything you are going to need, we didn't want to leave. The property is so much bigger than the photos lead you to believe. So cosy with the log burner and beautiful blankets and fleeces dotted about in case of chilly evenings. The kitchen has every possible utensil you will ever need - and the bathroom WOW!- just beautiful with big roll top bath- candles, lovely shower. Spacious bedroom and slept like a log every night. Beautiful garden and complete privacy. If you are lucky enough to be able to sit outside in the evening as we were its like you are in your own little paradise. We were left wine, chocolates and fresh cut flowers along with milk in fridge and ice in the freezer which was appreciated. Would recommend this property without hesitation, definitely one of the best cottages we have stayed in and would like to thank Rod and Sue for making our holiday a special one.

- Mrs Harris, May 2019
“If you want solitude and comfort the Old Tether Barn has it in bucket loads.”

This stunning accommodation wants for nothing, it has been prepared for visitors with the utmost care and attention both inside and outside. The views from the many seating areas in the garden are breathtaking, there are birds and bats in abundance, and a small resident group of rather snooty sheep! We have stayed in many cottages and the Old Tether Barn sits at the top of our favourites.

- Mrs Cooke, May 2019
“When you visit Old Tether Barn you find an idyllic spot off the beaten track where you can sit outside and enjoy peace and quiet whilst listening to the birds singing.”

You can see the love, care and attention to detail given to the decoration and furnishing of Old Tether Barn providing a very warm and welcome feeling as you pass through each room. Each room was equipped with everything you should need for a relaxing and stress free stay. Flowers placed in the windows provided a lovely touch and the welcome gifts a real treat. Old Tether Barn is one of the best properties we have stayed in.

- Mrs Pole, May 2019
“An excellent cottage equipped with every possible amenity.”

The owners have thought of everything and even left us a box of chocolates and a bottle of wine! The cottage is ideally placed to explore the picturesque county of Pembrokeshire and visit the many tourist attractions.

- Mr Betts, May 2019
“Beautiful cottage in a tremendous tranquil spot.”

Everything has been thought of both inside and outside of the cottage. Would recommend this cottage to anyone who appreciates perfection.

- Mrs Wilkinson, April 2019
“Absolutely beautiful cottage, but the thing that makes Old Tether Barn stand out from the (many) other cottages my wife and I have stayed at us the attention to detail shown by the owners.”

The cottage was immaculate, there was every possible type of utensil you could want available - and all genuinely clean - fresh flowers in the windows, complimentary toiletries available, extra logs for the fire which you could help yourself to (rather than having to ask). In short, this is the best holiday cottage we have ever used, and cannot recommend it highly enough.

- Mr Eveson, April 2019
“The owners Rod and Sue were very welcoming.”

The cottage was lovely, beautifully presented with everything you could possibly need, even fresh flowers on the windowsills. Half an hour from the coast, and an excellent location on the edge of the Preseli Hills.

- Mr Guy, April 2019
“Beautiful Cottage in a rural location ...”

Beautiful Cottage in a rural location The owners have fitted it out to a very high standard They provided everything and more for their guests

- Mr Hall, March 2019
“The cottage was really spacious but cosy, with lovely decor and furniture.”

The kitchen had everything we needed and more (including a bag of ice and a cocktail shaker!), the hosts had clearly thought of all the little things a couple might want for a romantic week away in the Welsh hills. The location was also perfect, with beautiful views and friendly sheep surrounding us. We are fussy but have no hesitations in recommending this cottage.

- Dr Turner, December 2018
“Not particularly due to Sykes.”

But the owners were excellent: the old Tether Barn was very clean, very homely, well equipped, and the area free from light pollution. We had a very enjoyable, relaxing holiday.

- Mr Mcgill, December 2018
“The peace and quiet in a beautiful thoughtfully well equipped and furnished home from home.”

Knowing help was there if we needed it but very private to enjoy.

- Mrs Garrett, November 2018
“This is a lovely cottage, finished to a very high standard in a wonderful, quiet location.”

Ideal walks on the nearby hills as you can start straight from the front door with no need to drive. We only had a short stay so we sent the owners several emails so that we could make the most of our time, they were very helpful and recommended a fantastic local pub where we enjoyed an excellent meal. We are already looking at dates to come back and spend longer at Old Tether Barn.

- Mr Mcmanus, November 2018
“Just Stunning..This Barn has been restored with so much Love and Respect..”

We just so loved our stay at Old Tether Barn..This Barn has been restored with so much love and respect..We have stayed at a number of places, over the years. Old Tether Barn, is the place that we have loved the most, of all.This was our last visit, as my husband in a War Veteran. This visit was just so important to us both. When you plan a holiday, from Australia, you just hope, that it as as good, as others say..We both just wanted to make Memories..and we have done that, at the Barn. It is very private, even though the main home is close. And that is a hard thing to do. I am a country girl, and my husband is a city person..So, to get the connection, for both people, I feel, is very hard to do. But, it is done, just so well. Loved he privacy of the Barn, and the garden..The wood burner, the little nooks and crannies, and the amazing loft..There are just lovely places, that gave places for both of us, to just enjoy..together of by ourselves..Shall I mention the sheep? And the big fat bumble bees, in the garden..When you arrive, this Barn just wraps it's arms around you, and you just never want to leave..We so wanted to bring it all back to Australia. Thank you both, as we feel that both of you, have been involved in this. And the balance is stunning..Thank you for allowing us to be apart of this wonderful place..

“Great cottage in a great location”

Overall we found the cottage to be very clean, well equipped with lovely touches on your arrival. Great for a relaxing break or as a base to explore from, also ideal for all seasons with the log fire and cosy set up. Really enjoyed our three night stay. Thanks to Roy & Sue. Ade Udale.

The property

Crymych 1.9 miles.

This beautiful detached dairy conversion is situated in one of the most picturesque locations within the National Park close to the village of Crymych in Pembrokeshire.

Situated in the shadow of the Iron Age hill fort of Foel Drygarn, Old Tethers Barn offers far reaching countryside views over surrounding farmland.

Retaining charm and character, you enter the cottage through the porch door where there is a space to leave your coats and boots after your outdoor walks and a utility/cloakroom with WC and basin.

Step up a small step into a delightful snug, with a slightly sloping floor, where a comfy sofa will be the ideal place to relax with a good book or maybe sit at the writing desk overlooking the open countryside to pen a postcard to friends and family.

A small step up from the snug brings you into the open plan living room which has apex beams and a woodburner for those cooler evenings.

Cook up special meals or prepare a picnic in the well-equipped kitchen to enjoy a choice of eating places.

One step up leads you into the ground floor bedroom and into the family bathroom, where a quick shower or a long relaxing soak in the claw foot bath beckons.

A complete stay here will refresh you, but don't miss the array of days out on the nearby coast with sandy beaches, the famous coast path and boat trips.

Alternatively, visit historic castles or walk on the Preseli Hills, before stepping back in time with a visit to the Shire Horse Centre.

Returning to such a perfect cottage to plan the next day out will be one of the pleasures of your stay in Wales.
