Description from owner

Description

Set under the Preseli Hills, Y Bwthyn Bach is a beautifully converted old stone and slate-roofed barn situated well off the road in a tranquil countryside setting. Numerous tiny windows frame glimpses of the garden in which it is set – a garden which is so lovely it has been featured in magazines and on television. In the summer months, the garden is open to the public during the afternoons - Dyffryn Fernant Garden.

Inside the cottage is a wood burning stove and a counter-weighted stair to access the sleeping loft, and the cottage is filled with books and paintings. There isn’t a television so you can enjoy a few days being blissfully disconnected from the stresses and strains of the rest of the world. National Geographic has named Pembrokeshire the second best coastline in the world and it is not hard to see why. All around you wildlife, historic monuments, standing stones and cliff-top walks abound. Quiet and comfortable, this cottage is nothing short of idyllic.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome, however there is a charge of £10 per dog per week/short break and a maximum of 2 dogs. Please let us know the number and breed of dogs accompanying you.

Electricity and unlimited logs for the wood burner are included all year round.
