Property code: OC-PW9190

This pet-friendly former farm cottage is in a perfect location for walks on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. There are 13 acres of land to explore, while inside awaits a striking open-plan living space and two peaceful bedrooms.

One of a group of properties on the outskirts of the village of Trefin, this welcoming holiday home combines original features with all the essentials of a fuss-free self-catering stay. Neighbouring residences can be booked by friends or family if you want a bigger-group getaway. Within this property you’ll find a peaceful setting for together-time as a foursome – and up to three canine companions can join in the fun too! You’ll feel at home the moment you step into the open-plan living space, which has striking stone flooring and exposed structural timbers. Stretch out on the large leather sofas to enjoy a movie or warm your toes before the wood burner. One step up from here is the dining area, where there’s plenty of room to enjoy meals and after-dinner conversation; behind the dining suite is a contemporary kitchen and there’s a separate shared utility room on-site for any laundry needs. A sleek spiral staircase leads to the first floor, where you’ll find a spacious double bedroom, a twin room and a stylish bathroom with large corner bath. Please note there are low eaves and the beds are low. Your back door opens onto a garden area that’s ideal for outdoor food and drinks; the 13 acres beyond include a shared children’s play area with swings, slide and a fireman’s pole.

With a friendly local pub and shops, pretty Trefin sits almost mid-way between Britain’s smallest city, St David’s (8 miles), and Fishguard (10 miles). If you love walking, this property is perfect: there’s a direct footpath to the low-tide sand and shingle of Aberfelin beach, where you can explore rock pools and join the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Once a busy commercial harbour, gorgeous Porthgain (2 miles) has eateries and art galleries; there’s an equally picturesque cove and village at Abercastle, a mile in the opposite direction.

Loved the cottage, it has all we needed and was wonderfully close to the coast path. Owners are easy to communicate with and kind.

Stayed at Shicley with my partner and two dogs. It had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable. The dogs loved it, particularly the grassy area outside to run around. Short walk to Trefin beach and coastal path, or to the village.

Cottage was fine but lacking in a few things: No bath mat - as there is no shower you have to stand in the bath and it is very slippery. Lack of recycling info. Most cottages supply a few logs for the fire - there was nothing and no poker et. for the firez

Lovely cottage and it had everything we needed including swings for the kids. The host were super responsive and friendly. The one thing I would say is the sound travels up to the top floor when trying to get the kids to sleep but that was a miner thing.

Beautiful location and cottage was well equipped and comfortable with plentiful hot water and a lovely wood burner. Only complaint was that the bed felt damp, and it was therefore not a pleasant place to sleep.

Property was as expected by your description online. However, the property just needs a proper shower and new 3 seat sofa. every other aspect of the holiday was great.

I marked down the equipment as we didnt find a torch or candles and knowing from previous stays nearby, we have had times with electric out, last year we spent an evening at a very nearby cottage in darkness as electric off but thankfully they had lots of candles there. I also found the settee to be a sink hole that was hard to get out of so not veRead morery comfortable. It would also be a bonus to have a spare toilet roll as we ran out. The picnic bench in garden is broken, not attached underneath so didnt feel safe to use. other than that the cottage was wonderful and even when the boiler broke it was repaired within a few hours, great hosts and the best welcome package we have ever received, they went above and beyond, it was most appreciated, we would be more than happy to return.
