Spacious, comfortable and peaceful cottage nestling in a Welsh National Park

Originally a 'quarryman's cottage', extended and modernised, our 'home from home' is in the beautiful rural landscape of the Preseli Hills (a National Park) and close to UK's only Coastal National Park, '240 square miles of breath-taking coast and country-side, with a patch work of beautiful sandy beaches and rugged cliffs and islands'. It has consistently gained 4-star Welsh Tourist board rating. A large safe enclosed garden to the rear, which is an ideal and safe play area for children as well as providing great privacy. There is a reasonable sized open front garden with superb views of the local country-side: the Preseli Hills, and disused 18th century slate quarry and local farmland. In the new garden shed there are table and chairs for outside meals, and additionally comfortable seating in the patio outside the conservatory. There is off-road parking for at least two cars in the drive way.

In the 'Land of Saints and Stones', this two-storey property is very spacious and peaceful, comprising a large relaxing lounge/dining room, very comfortably furnished. Here there is a modern flat screen TV with built-in DVD player and HIFI with CD player and also a large and varied selection of books, with some DVDs and CDs. The large conservatory has comfortable furniture and a table and chairs for dining in this real 'garden room'. The fully equipped kitchen is light and airy with double aspect windows onto fine views. The large bath/shower room is on the ground floor. Upstairs there is the large double bedroom (with en-suite sink and toilet) and twin bedroom (ideal for children and very suitable for adults too!). Between the two bedrooms there is a comfortable upper sitting room with double sofa bed. Light and airy throughout with beautiful views from every room. Free WIFI throughout the cottage.

A small welcome pack awaits all our guests.

In the immediate vicinity (i.e. walking distance) there are marked hill walks, mountain bike tracks and horse riding ways. The tiny village of Rosebush has a unique pub/restaurant and world champion cheese making farm. In the neighbouring village (a mile distance) there is a good local store and also a delightful café serving home-made and local produce and open seven days a week. Within 15 minutes drive you have coastal paths to walk, beaches, historic buildings, local artists and craft shops. Within easy access there are both land and sea nature reserves, ferries to Ireland, and opportunities for windsurfing, swimming, surfing, sailing as well as sea-fishing, dolphin and seal watching, bird sanctuary and the beautiful Picton Castle and gardens. There are also pleasure flights from Haverfordwest. For children there are many indoor and outdoor activities to discover and also theme parks (like 'Folly Farm'). There are also Neolithic and bronze age stone circles etc to explore. Full details of these many amenities are in the cottage.

Attractive and well-equipped cottage
We very much enjoyed our stay in this attractive and well equipped cottage. Although on a main road, it sits inside a 30 mph zone and we didn’t notice any traffic noise. There’s also a conservatory to enjoy at the rear and a fine view of the Preseli Hills from the windows at the front.

A peaceful stay
This is a beautiful cottage with the most amazing views! We adore Pembrokeshire and used to have a caravan in Narberth so were pleased with how nearby the cottage was (15 min drive). The cottage is decorated so tastefully and is lovely and cosy. We didn’t need to contact the people who look after the cottage, as everything was perfect, but it was lovely knowing they were just next door if needed! The local pub (Tafarn Sinc) was so welcoming, with great food and ambience! We also tried out some cheese from the local cheese farm in Rosebush which was excellent! Overall, a lovely stay - thank you!

Perfect Location
The property is located in a nice quiet spot to unwind but also great location for exploring Pembrokeshire, we managed to visit several towns during out stay, starting with Cardigan and then St Davids and Tenby. Inside the property is very homely and welcoming, it had everything we wanted and more. The small town of Rosebush only has once place to eat which is Tafarn Sinc. If you plan to each out in the evening and you stay during peak season I would suggest you plan ahead and get booked in to some restaurants in the neighbouring towns, we did speak 2 night driving around to find somewhere to eat but most places were full. Narberth and Cardigan are only 25 minutes drive away, both town office plenty of choices for food. Overall great property, we would definitely recommend.

What a wonderful find!
We couldn't be happier with our stay at this lovely property. It had everything you could need for a break away. The kitchen is the best equipped kitchen I have stayed in in a holiday rental, even down to having ice blocks in the freezer (we forgot ours!). The location is beautiful and it was lovely having an enclosed garden for the children to run around. The children also loved reading the stories before bed in the twin room. The whole house was immaculate and extremely cosy. We will be back again one day

Excellent property for exploring West Wales
The property was exactly as it it was presented on the VRBO site. Spacious and comfortable and extremely well equipped. We couldn't do as much walking as we hoped as the weather was against us, but there were places we wanted to visit all along the Pembrokeshire coastline. I would recommend this property and hope to return in the not too distant future.

Wonderful Country Cottage
We absolutely loved our time at Richard's cottage. One of our favorite parts was how clearly you could tell how much Richard and the other owners loved the place as well. It's a great location if you're looking for a properly remote getaway. The views of the quarry to the east and the sunset to the west are spectacular. It's easy walking distance into Rosebush and plenty of walking/hiking trails (anything from a 25 minute walk to many hours!). Easy access to all of the coasts of Pembrokeshire as well. If you're a cyclist, it couldn't be more of an out the door and onto great roads riding, but you'll definitely be doing a fair bit of climbing! Strongly recommend this cottage.

Peaceful and relaxing stay with stunning views
We rented this cottage as a family of four during May half term and it was a much needed break. The cottage was airy and spacious and extremely well equipped. The slow cooker came in extremely handy for days we came back from evening boat trips and there was a plentiful supply of all we needed and the tumble dryer was a bonus. The addition of the conservatory was a welcome place to relax and eat. The shed and garden chairs have storage which contained fishing nets, washing line, bat and balls and buckets and spades. The addition of the sofa bed was very handy as our elder daughter has autism and prefers her own space. Linen and towels were also plentiful. The owners were very quick to respond. The views of the Preseli Hills were stunning and the local pub Tafarn Sinc was excellent as well as the local cheese farm. You are deep in the countryside here but the nearby village has a post office and shop and we found it easier to shop at Haverfordwest Tesco Extra for food shopping which is about 25 min drive. We visited and would recommend Dinosaur Park, Picton Castle with owl garden and zoo, Oakwood Theme Park, Carew Castle & Mill and Castell Henllys, the latter allowing a proper drive through the Preseli Hills. Broad Haven and Barafundle Bay were great beaches with plenty of parking. The absolute highlight was boat trips with Thousand Island Expeditions, dolphin spotting and a trip to Skomer. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage!
