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.

We have stayed at many cottages in the UK and we all agree, Carreg Wen is the most comfortable and most beautiful. Combine the lovliness of the house with wonderful weather, great hikes and pubs, friendly people, and you have…well…the perfect holiday. Thank you for making our first trip to Wales a memorable one.... It truly was one of the nicest cottages which we have ever rented. Such a grand location, and a wonderfully comfortable home to come back to after our treks along the coast.

Great location, well appointed home: super family beach holiday, made even more memorable by Andy’s recommendation to book coasteering with TYF ahead of our trip.

A great place to come back to after exploring this beautiful part of Pembrokeshire. Cosy, relaxing with a very well equipped kitchen. We loved sitting on the patio outside the sun room watching the swallows and martins. Great to leave the house on foot and stroll down the delightful ‘Green Lane’ to the coast path – our favourite was to head towards Solva and view the harbour. We’ve been doing self-catering for years, and we don’t recall another property – even ones we rated very highly – where so much thought had obviously gone into the property, the facilities and the arrangements

This was our 2nd holiday at Carreg Wen. On our first visit last year we arrived after dark and in pouring rain having endured a 3 hour hold up on the M4. As soon as we stepped inside we were uplifted by the fabulous interior and the warmth from the underfloor heating. It is ideal for families and our grand children made full use of the many games available. Carreg Wen is the perfect base for access to the coastal path with the section from Newgale to Whitesands Bay surely one of the best. We certainly hope to return - we love it !

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.

Fabulous cottage, cosy, spacious, beautiful garden, outstanding views and perfect in every way. Walks to Penrhaw rock pooling and climbing, Solva for a cup of coffee, crabbing and an ice cream and a longer walk to St David’s we’re just a few highlights of our trip. We had a wonderfully relaxing staY. Thank you Andy.
