About this property
Maenclochog 3.5 miles. Idyllically positioned within a group of former farm buildings in the pint-sized village of Llys-y-frân near Maenclochog, Pembrokeshire, rests this charming stone-built holiday home, Rafters Cottage. Nestled within the rural countryside of South Wales and set within easy reach of a handful of on-site facilities as well as a picturesque country park and reservoir, Rafters Cottage makes for a lovely base for a family or a group of friends looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Park up in one of the off-road parking spaces before unloading your belongings and marveling at the quaint stone-built exterior of this traditional holiday home. Kick off your walking boots as you step over the threshold and enter into a charming open-plan living/dining room, traditionally decorated with character beams and exposed stonework. Look forward to snuggling up on the sumptuous corner sofa in front of the television as you watch your favourite film following a day of adventure. Continuing through, you'll find the galley-style kitchen, home to a rustic range cooker to assist with preparing hearty meals, alongside a washing machine and a dishwasher to ensure cleaning up is a breeze. In the warmer months, throw open the patio doors and make dining an alfresco affair with a seat in the peaceful setting of your private garden; a lovely spot to enjoy a crisp glass of wine as you soak in the last of the evening sun before bed. As the day draws to a close, head back indoors and descend a handful of steps to find two bedrooms, a double room, benefiting from access to it's own en-suite, perfect for beating the morning queues, alongside a quirky family room fit with a triple bunk and a single bed, all nestled on the ground-floor for your convenience. Resting on the mezzanine is a second double bedroom, intimately tucked under the exposed wooden beams that decorate the ceiling above; a truly marvellous setting to enjoy a night's embrace. In the morning, awake from a leisurely slumber before making your way to the family bathroom to indulge in a soothing soak or a refreshing rinse before heading out on an adventure. Whisk your loved ones away on an unforgettable staycation with a break at Rafters Cottage.

A couple of little maintenance items we'd raise: 1. the mattress in the bedroom with the ensuite was not very comfortable, probably coming to the end of its useful life. 2. Oven on one side of the unit didn't work (although other side worked fine). Gareth was very helpful during our stay, and the kids had a great time.

I must admit I'm glad to be back in my own house. Myself, my fiance and our 4 year old stayed in the end bedroom. The first night was horrendous... we spent the first part removing all the giant spiders from the house. By the time we went to bed we'd realised the room had a terrible mold issue: black mould growing up the walls, beside the bed and the mattresses (which belonged in the 90's) were also covered in mold. We got no sleep and my chest got bad. I felt so angry that our 4 year old had to sleep on a moldy mattress in a moldy room. The owners did change the mattresses and wiped down the mold, and they refunded us £100. Unfortunately all this happened after a not-too-pleasant discussion with one of the owners who told us our standards were too high and we should just drive home immediately if we didn't like the cottage! Nice. After the mold issue we had an ok stay. The mold smell was in the cottage all week and there was more mold growing in the sitting room. The kids favourite game was to catch the numerous woodlice that shared the cottage with us. I get that it's an old property but I shan't be apologising for having 'standards' when we paid over a grand to stay there. The outside facilities were great, great location with the nature reserve. Obviously we wouldn't return.
