  • Traditional stone cottage converted from the former school master’s house
  • Family-friendly with two bedrooms and wide, enclosed grounds to enjoy
  • Situated in a quiet and peaceful hamlet in the rural Welsh countryside yet close to family attractions

Property code: OC-WAV235

Tucked away in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, this former school masters house, standing back-to-back with the village hall, is as rustic and quaint as they come, steeped in history and surrounded by the rural hamlet of Walwyn’s Castle, offering endless picturesque walking trails and countryside scenery to discover.

After exploring your idyllic surroundings, no better remedy for weary walking muscles is the warmth of the electric fire in the charming lounge, complete with comfy sofas to unwind on and admire the stunning original exposed brickwork and ceiling beams. Follow the characterful ceiling beams into the adjoining kitchen/diner to get creative with the local produce you’ve collected and make special family memories seated around the farmhouse-style wooden dining table. Take a long soak in the bath in the family bathroom downstairs before retiring upstairs to either of the two cosy bedrooms tucked beneath the eaves of the cottage, which both feature a characterful sloping ceiling and more exposed timber beams. Soak up the fresh, clean countryside breeze by dining alfresco on a fine summer’s evening in the courtyard area before relaxing on the lawned grounds.

An ideal location for touring the picturesque Pembrokeshire coastline and countryside, you’ll get to know your surrounding scenery very well by joining up with the idyllic Pembrokeshire Coast Path or by taking a boat trip to Skomer Island to see the puffins from the Lockley Lodge Visitor Centre (9 miles). Just 2 miles away you’ll reach the pretty seaside village of Little Haven to enjoy some delightful coastal views; neighbouring Broad Haven (3 miles) offers a wonderful sandy stretch for the perfect day at the seaside. Head to Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo (20 miles) for a relaxing family day out.

We loved this quirky cottage. Very quiet and out of the way location but close to anything you needed. Everything you could want in the kitchen is provided. Lovely comfy bed. Large Tescos with petrol station just over 5 mins away by car. Would stay here again.

A charming, peaceful & quiet cottage tucked away in this little hamlet of Walwyns Castle. A very well equipped kitchen & spotlessly clean throughout. Comfy beds & pretty linen. Traditional ambiance. Would definitely book this let again if we come back to Pembrokeshire.

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.
