Stay with your family of four at this lovely, characterful cottage in the rural hamlet of Walwyn’s Castle. Situated within Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, there will be plenty to explore within easy reach. Just 2 miles away is the pretty seaside village of Little Haven where you will find a pub, cafe and some fine coastal views. The neighbouring Broad Haven (3 miles) has a convenience store, and a wide stretch of sandy beach. Hop in the car and head to Oakwood Theme Park (16 miles) for a wonderful, adrenaline-fueled family day out. If you prefer something a little more relaxing, visit Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo, 20 miles from the property. If you are a group who loves walking the coast and countryside, you will find the wonderful Pembrokeshire Coast Path 2 miles away.

This lovely home adjoins with the village hall, the hamlet’s original school. It has beamed ceilings and exposed stonework throughout, bringing a real sense of character to this practical home. Hang up your coats, sandy towels and walking boots in the hall, before heading through to the kitchen/diner. Prepare a delicious meal in the country-style kitchen and eat together around the dining table reflecting on your day. The lounge has comfortable seating, and a flame-effect electric fire which will keep you warm on chilly nights. A delightful family bathroom with a shower over the bath, completes the ground floor. For restful nights, choose from a king-size or twin bedroom, both situated upstairs.

Directly outside the cottage is an enclosed garden with a courtyard area and lawn grounds. Take a seat on the picnic bench, a great spot for morning coffee or dining alfresco as the sun sets.

Really well located cottage in perfectly peaceful location yet with easy access to many wonderful local beaches, coastal path etc. Lovely lake out the back of the property for a tranquil stroll. Near to good amenities in Haverford West including big Tesco! The cottage itself was very clean and comfortable, especially the beds which counts for aRead more lot for us! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Hide

The cottage is brilliantly positioned in the middle of nowhere, but really quite near everywhere. That part of Wales is deceptive, things that seem miles away are very quick to get to. The cottage itself is clean and very well thought out. The smart TV works well.if you need that kind of thing, as does the WiFi. The entrance hall.is great for prRead moreeventing sand and all that making its way into the house. The bathroom is bright and clean, and immediately accessible as you enter the house. As with all rented properties, there are few things you can think of that can't be found, you might want to check there are pegs as their numbers were a bit depleted when we arrived, I have absolutely no doubt that the owner would provide more if you asked, she was very helpful the one time we needed her. It is basically a no frills, but very effective holiday base, we have already recommended it to friends. Hide

A lovely comfortable cottage in a beautiful peaceful location. Really impressed at the recycling set up. So many holiday cottages don't seem to bother with this and just expect everything to go in general waste which I always find quite upsetting. Here, it is just as good as if I was at home.

The School House was in an idyllic setting , next to a church and cemetery which meant the neighbours were very quiet lol! The enclosed garden was just enough for our 2 girls (5+7) to ride round and round and make dens and play, and there was a nature reserve about 100m from the house. The garden kept the sun until the last and we stayed out until Read moreabout 9pm each night trapping the last of the sun in the yard. We generally went out for the days and explored different beaches /castles/parks/walks - there was plenty to do within half hour drive. The School House itself does not have any immediate amenities nearby, but we wanted the super private tranquil retreat after long days out and thats just what we got. Good Job ! Hide

We stayed at the property last September so we're already familiar with it- it is in an excellent location- very quiet and peaceful but within easy travelling distance for most places of interest. A very comfortable and restful property which we will visit again ??
