Description from owner

Description

Described by our visitors as 'cosy, spacious and full of charm', Tilley's Cottage is an original stone-built cart shed. It was converted in 2001 when several of the original fittings were found and left inside as features. Some of the inner stone walls remain exposed and the large stone arch is an impressive feature in the lounge.

As Tilley's is a converted cart shed, it is located next door to our farm house - but even so it has privacy. The front entrance and patio area are not overlooked and a large portion of the garden is the same.

The outer door leads into a porch with separate WC. From the porch, two steps lead directly up into the large airy lounge which has a vaulted ceiling with pegged beams and exposed stone walls. The furniture comprises an L-shaped sofa seating six, a wooden carver chair, open hearth with wood burner (logs provided), flat screen internet TV, well stocked shelves of local history books & walking guides.

Adjoining the lounge is a well-equipped kitchen-diner , with oven, hob and grill; fridge-freezer, dishwasher; microwave; sink and drainer; worktops & storage cupboards, dining table and chairs for up to six people. The kitchen is normally stocked with 'essentials' - teabags, coffee, sugar, basic herbs and spices - but due to Covid restrictions we can't currently supply any food or drink items - sorry! Other essentials, though, we can leave for you - dishwashing cloths, kitchen roll, tea towels and cleaning materials. From the kitchen there are full-width patio doors leading out onto a completely private patio area with beautiful garden, countryside and sea views.

The family bathroom has a full suite, a roomy separate shower and two heated towel rails. Toilet rolls and liquid hand soap are provided. All three bedrooms (a double, a twin and a bunk - top bunk 2’6”) have comfortable mattresses with good quality bedding (bed linen included), and also have large built-in wardrobes. The double room has lovely sea views.

Outside Tilley's is a gated courtyard parking area large enough for two cars, and to the side is a lawned garden bordered by Pembrokeshire hedge banks. There is a small lean-to stable at the end of the Cottage which houses a washing machine, the barbecue and spare logs.

Heating and hot water are supplied via an oil-fired boiler and there are fully controllable electric heaters in the bedrooms. Free WiFi available. Logs for the woodburner are provided free of charge. Well-behaved pets are welcome by arrangement at no extra charge.

Changeover day is FRIDAY but can often be altered if you check with us.

Interaction with guest

Tilley's Cottage is part of our smallholding and is located next door to our farmhouse (you can get a good idea of the layout on street view). When you arrive someone will usually be here to show you into the cottage and we are often on hand should you need help with anything during your stay. We are always happy to recommend places to visit and things to do - so if you need any information, please ask!

“Wonderful retreat in a beautiful landscape.”

Reviewed 6 Sep 2022

We stayed at Tilley’s Cottage for a few nights in September. Ruth and Roger were incredibly accommodating, taking our booking at very short notice after we’d been let down elsewhere. The accommodation is furnished to a very high standard and was spotlessly clean. The beds and sofa are very comfortable and the kitchen very well equipped. There are even books to read if you get bored of the lovely walks an beaches on the doorstep. We highly recommend Tilley’s Cottage and we’d certainly stay here again. Thanks R&R.
