  • "Rumenco Horse Lorry review Martin and Jane are welcoming and helpful hosts but their Rumenco rental property is not in good condition."

    When first converted – 16 years ago? – this was perhaps a quirky, romantic retreat but it certainly isn’t now, being very much in need of some TLC. The provision of cooking equipment is sparse; the pots and pans were non-stick when new but are not now. There was no ‘welcome pack’ of information, such as is usually provided when renting a property. We were given a nice present of eggs and alcohol but oil, sugar, salt & pepper would have been far more useful. There was no washing-up brush or sponge. There is one small bench seat just about big enough for two people if you don’t mind bumping elbows when you eat. For a shorter person the table is too far from the seating. The woodburning stove needs a new door seal and certainly wouldn’t pass a HETAS safety check – although there are carbon monoxide and smoke alarms and neither went off when we used the stove. The bedroom and toilet doors have warped and no longer close properly. There is a bolt for the toilet door but no hole to slide it into. There is no security lock for when you leave the property. The strip light in the kitchen/lounge is facing horizontally so illumination at night is poor. We bought a camping lantern so that we could read. The curtains in the bedroom may be ‘quirky’ - some being hung upside down - but none match. The pole for the widest one, at the end of the bed overlooking the balcony, was well provided with rings but only half a dozen curtain hooks, so tended to hang in loops. If you stay there for more than a couple of days you will find you need to be regularly fetching water for the sink reservoir from a tap outside the shower. The shower itself works well and is spacious, although it is 100 yards away. There is a useful but rather grubby wheel barrow to transport your belongings and water from the parking area. We managed because we supplied a lot of our own equipment and are used to coping with circumstances that are not entirely satisfactory.

  • "The setting was lovely, but this accommodation would only suit campers who do not mind walking at least 150 yards for water and shower and was only equipped to very basic standards."

The property

Rumenco Horse Lorry is a distinctive holiday home focussing on an eco and sustainable approach offering guests a low carbon impact holiday, set in wild areas with the ability to see owls, bats and nesting birds in the uncut vegetation.

A memorable stay set within a converted horse lorry.

Ideal for couples seeking something a little different, this one‑bedroom retreat provides a simple layout paired with an outdoor‑focused setting in this part of Pembrokeshire.

Accessed via steps leading up to the entrance, guests are welcomed into a compact living area where a small dining table and seating create a place to settle with meals or drinks.

The space also includes a woodburning stove, offering a warming focal point, alongside a sink and two gas rings for preparing light meals.

From here, a door leads to a cloakroom with a flushable toilet for added convenience.

The accommodation includes a double bedroom, providing a sleeping area to rest at the end of the day.

A separate external shower room, fitted with a walk‑in shower, offers washing facilities during your stay.

Outside, Rumenco Horse Lorry benefits from a balcony with furniture, allowing guests to enjoy fresh air and time outdoors.

This unusual conversion encourages a slower pace, with simple cooking, evenings around the stove, and time spent taking in the surrounding area.

A shop and pub are reached by car, while nearby Cilgerran offers riverside walks, castle views and local history, and Newport features coastal scenery, independent shops and access to beaches.

The wider area provides opportunities for exploring the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, with walking routes and shoreline views within reach.
