About this property
Narberth 2.6 miles. Cattle Shed is a characterful cottage resting near Narberth in Pembrokeshire. With a sociable open-plan layout, plenty of family-friendly touches and a warm welcome for four-legged companions, this inviting abode is well suited to families and friends seeking a Pembrokeshire getaway. Arrive and leave the car in the gated off-road parking before stepping inside, where stonework hints at the building’s former agricultural purpose and Pembrokeshire-inspired touches bring a sense of place to your stay. Follow the hallway to shallow steps leading down into the open-plan living space, where framed artwork and pictures add a homely touch and gas central heating keeps the room warm after days spent exploring.
Sink into the sofa or armchair and catch up on your favourite programmes on the TV, browse the selection of books, choose a DVD or board game, or tune into the DAB radio for the evening. When appetites call, head to the kitchen and prepare a family favourite using the electric oven and hob, with a microwave, dishwasher and fridge/freezer making self-catering simple, while the Nespresso machine is ready for a freshly brewed pick-me-up. Bring everyone together at the dining table for four, where you can tuck into dinner before using the chalkboard to keep score during a game or jot down ideas for tomorrow’s adventures.
When eyelids begin to grow heavy, make your way to the bedrooms, starting with the double room, where tranquil blue hues set a restful scene and storage provides space to unpack for your stay. Younger guests can make the bunk room their own, with L-shaped bunk beds, seaside-inspired touches and Giant Connect 4 adding a playful element to bedtime. Both bedrooms also benefit from skylights with electric blackout blinds, while a travel cot and highchair make the cottage particularly accommodating for those holidaying with younger children. Come morning, head to the family bathroom, where a tiled floor and distinctive plywood feature give the room plenty of character, then enjoy a leisurely soak in the bath or freshen up beneath the shower before another day of adventures.
Outside, take your first coffee of the day to the bistro table and chairs beside the front door, or gather in the communal garden, where picnic tables overlooking the fields set the scene for alfresco meals and barbecues while younger guests enjoy the play area and swingball. There is even more space for family time in the communal barn, where ceiling heaters, bench seating and a play area sit alongside a large map that can help inspire your next excursion, with garden and beach games also available to borrow. Return from muddy walks and sandy days to the shared laundry, where free-to-use washer/dryers and a sink help deal with well-used holiday kit, while hanging space for wetsuits and outerwear, suitcase storage and secure bike storage prove handy throughout your stay.
When it is time to venture beyond the cottage, a pub is a little over a mile away and a shop is a short drive from your base. After making memories across the Pembrokeshire coast, return to Cattle Shed near Narberth and gather together for another relaxing evening at your characterful cottage.
