About this property
Little Haven 2.5 miles. This charming barn conversion is situated next to the owners’ home on their working cattle farm, close to the small Pembrokeshire village of Little Haven. Open beams, a beautiful wooden staircase, a warming woodburner and comfortable furnishings all combine to provide you with a wonderful stay within this beautiful part of Wales. The open plan living area with its high ceiling showing open beams and quirky farm feeders is perfect for time together, making meals and relaxing in front of the TV with your loved ones. Two ground floor bedrooms, one with an en-suite and an easy access wet room mean less mobile guests may well be able to enjoy a stay here too.
The first floor offers a crog loft with a mezzanine sitting area and a curtained twin bedroom which is ideal for younger ones to have their own space, as well as their own bathroom tucked into the eaves. Venture out into the enclosed lawned garden, where children can play safely while you unwind with a refreshing drink. Drive the short distance to the scenic coastline to stroll along beaches, walk some of the famous coastal path, pop into a cafe or pub for refreshments, or maybe take a boat trip to Skomer Island (one mile off the coast) to see the puffins and Manx shearwater.
The best time to be among the puffins is May to July but boat trips are a must all year round. With the whole of Pembrokeshire beckoning, there’s plenty on offer including theme parks, days at seaside resorts, historic castles and St. David’s, the smallest city in the UK. An excellent holiday home for families and friends with plenty to see and do in the area.
The small village of Little Haven is situated around a small sheltered cove, on the wonderful Pembrokeshire coastline. The coastal footpath runs around the cove, and the village has traditional and gastropubs, a café, a bistro and a craft shop.

The kitchen is well equipped and spacious. Underfloor heating and log burner made it very cosy, power showers refreshing. Beds were comfortable. Garden was secure for our dog. Beaches and coastal walks are breathtaking. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will go back. We used what3words for navigating to property.

Lanes are very narrow and we found we needed a car to get to the coast. Three people could eat in comfort round the dining table but more would have been tricky. We used two of the three bedrooms and bathrooms. Showers were very strong and hot and bathrooms generally clean. There are issues with cleanliness and maintenance, however. Some crockery was grubby and pans heavily stained, which was hard to remedy as there were no dishwasher tablets. The owner tried to get us some while he was away but they were laundry tablets. Dishwasher tablets were provided at the end of our stay. There were some cobwebs -common at this time of year but suggesting a lack of care-and dirty shelves. Several items of crockery were chipped and there were only two (mismatched) wine glasses. Plenty of flutes though! Fly mess was on lampshades and some lightbulbs didnât work in living area. No working light above hob.Lovely chairs on mezzanine but one in living room appeared to have been put back together with bits of wood. The tv remote did not work reliably and there were no black bags for waste or recycling. Walls needed painting. Two of the towels we used were stained. Bedlinen was clean and smooth. Pillows were fine.

Spacious modern interior with everything you could need for a self catering holiday. Great parking. Other peopleâs negative comments about the bumpy road to the cottage is not true. Itâs a well made track, and what you would expect in rural Wales. The owner, John, is delightful and wants you to have a good holiday. There are so many spectacular beaches close by. Broad Haven, Little Haven, Marloes Sands, Stackpole Quay, Sandy Haven and nearby Pembroke. The weather was great and the Welsh people were helpful and kind at all times. Eager to go back next year to explore this beautiful area some more. Many thanks to John.
