The Experience
The old farm malthouse (ex stables, ex tin-topped shack) has become a blissful bolthole by the sea. Carreg Wen, recently and beautifully revived, has it all: a design-led interior but nothing too precious, a glorious ever-changing panorama of the sea, a huge garden that’s great for children, and the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path a skip away. Down a quiet track well back from the main road, you enter an open-plan ground floor, charming and inviting with pale painted beams and heated slate floors. Welsh antiques mix with old family pieces, there are squishy linen sofas and local art on the walls, and, for ultra cosiness, a wood-burner and a basket of logs. The country kitchen and the utility room are fabulously equipped, right down to the tumble dryer – handy for wet togs. Also downstairs, in the ‘wing’, are a twin bedroom and a family bathroom. Upstairs: two lovely fresh limewashed doubles, one with an en suite shower. We can’t fault the décor, nor the Bose sound system, nor the wine and the Welsh cakes that greet you on arrival! You’re next to one of Wales’ biggest rookeries and a five-minute walk from Solva.

The most wonderful house for a week away from home. Has everything you could need to relax and enjoy either a couples or a family break. From the quiet location on the edge of Solva you get stunning views to the sea, yet are close enough to walk to the hustle and bustle of the harbour, or straight onto the coastal path. There is so much to do within a short drive or long walk as well, from beaches to castles or the city. Andy has done a remarkable job transforming the building into one of the best holiday houses we have been to, and we are already planning to go back as soon as we can.

Beautiful house and location, couldn’t have asked for anywhere better. The house is beautifully furnished, very comfortable, well equipped, and welcoming. Our children loved the games and books and running around playing in the garden. And of course there is the wonderful area to explore. Thank you for a brilliant stay!

First, the location of the cottage is superb - near enough to Solva to walk out for an evening meal, not inundated by day trippers and with great views to the sea. Secondly, the cottage has been beautifully and efficiently designed so all amenities are available spaciously but no space is wasted. The decor is imaginative and tasteful. It reflects the local art, nature and geography yet has wider influences. Finally, the cottage is very well built and maintained.

Carreg Wen is in an excellent position for exploring all that the North Pembrokeshire coast has to offer - a superb rugged coastal landscape with a fantastic coastal path close to the house, as well as a well-stocked local shop and attractive village. The house is a well designed conversion of a farm building and comfortably fitted, furnished and equipped with all you could need. The generous welcome pack was much appreciated as was the swifty resolution of a minor problem with the electrics during our stay.

Location
The neighbourhood
Local points of interest from Andy Davies
- A short stroll (2 fields) from Carreg Wen and you join the world famous Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, spanning 186 miles of some of the most dramatic coastal scenery in Britain. This remote stretch of the coastline is simply breathtaking.
- Just a 5 minute drive from Carreg Wen (featured recently in The Times Newspaper as one of the 12 finest coastal holiday homes) lies one of Wales' most iconic religious sites, St. David's Cathedral. Now a must-see for visitors to Britain's smallest city.
- If you're looking for a thrilling aquatic adventure, then you've come to the birthplace of `coasteering'. Grab a wetsuit in St. Davids and then scramble, climb, swim and cliff jump your way along the coast. As featured on BBC Countryfile. Exhilarating.
- Nearby Newgale Beach has been labelled by the Independent as one of the world's `50 Best Romantic Hotspots for Lovers'. Also a ten minute drive away, you'll find one of Wales' best surfing beaches at Whitesands.
- Ramsey Island, just off the peninsula, is host to one of the largest breeding colonies of Atlantic grey seals in the British Isles. Take a boat trip around the island and you might spot some dolphins, porpoises and puffins too! An amazing experience.
- St. Davids has some great restaurants, but you're only a 10 minute walk from the Cambrian Inn, near the stunning harbour of Solva. It is one of the region's finest eateries and comes with affordable prices too. Highly recommended.

Carreg Wen is a gem of a property. The location is fabulous...right on the Solva coastline....and the facilities and the ambience are second to none! We were fortunate that it didn't rain a drop during our week there but we would happily have stayed inside if we had been forced to. The furnishings are really inviting and the kitchen is up with the best of our holiday stays. It is blissfully quiet and you can easily walk the coast path from the front door. Andy was very helpful with the booking process and rang to check we had settled in which was much appreciated. A 10 out of 10 from us!
