This one-of-a-kind glamping retreat, a beautifully restored former racehorse lorry featured on George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces, is a wonderful spot for a restful Welsh holiday. With space for two guests plus two more by prior arrangement, it’s ideal couples, solo travellers or a small group. It enjoys a peaceful countryside setting on private grounds, just 1.5 miles from an excellent chippy, 3 from Haverfordwest and 5.5 from the stunning Pembrokeshire Coast Path for wonderful walks.
You’ll arrive via a farm lane, passing paddocks that are home to the horses that call this working farm home. There is a dedicated parking area beside a red-brick farmhouse. Six external steps lead up to the lorry’s glazed entrance, and inside, original character features and equine-inspired artwork celebrate its fascinating past. The cosy open-plan living space includes a stylish leather sofa which converts into a sofa bed, a wood burner and a compact kitchen with a built-in dining bench for relaxed meals together. At the front of the lorry, the former driver's cab has been cleverly transformed into a double bedroom with a curtain for added privacy (reduced head height around the bed). A striking freestanding copper shower adds plenty of character, and there’s a separate WC. In good weather, head outside and relax on spacious private deck, enjoying meals outside with outdoor seating, a BBQ and woodland views. There’s also an indulgent hot tub. Cyclists and paddlers are also catered for with secure bike anchors for storing bikes or kayaks.
Nearby, you’ll find sandy beaches at Broad Haven, Newgale and Nolton Haven within 7.5 miles, setting you up for seaside adventures and surfing. Haverfordwest’s independent shops, vintage cinema and bustling Friday market are well worth exploring. For a dose of local culture, spend the day exploring the Victorian house and woodland walks at Scolton Manor (6.5 miles).
