The Barn is positioned in a rural setting in a small cluster of cottages with private gardens laid to lawn surrounding it. Enter the property and find yourself in the bright and airy hallway with an open staircase to the first floor bedroom, family bathroom and head right into the large open plan kitchen, diner and living room.
The open plan space is perfect for busy families to gather and spend quality time together. Rustle up a picnic for the day ahead in the well-equipped kitchen, a generous space for cooking and preparing meals. There is a dining table for gathering around before lounging out on the sofas with the fire roaring in the log burner while watching a film together or playing a game.
Off the hallway, there is a ground floor bedroom with a super king size bed and handy single fold out sofa bed with an en suite with WC and shower for extra privacy. Upstairs, there is a king size bedroom. Downstairs you will find the family bathroom with WC and shower over bath. Fluffy towels are provided for all guests. From the open plan space, climb the modern spiral staircase to the mezzanine level which benefits from two further single beds, with views of the garden and the sea over surrounding countryside.
Externally the Barn has lovely green gardens for children to burn off some steam, there is a charcoal BBQ, and patio area with table and chairs – a perfect, sunny and sheltered spot to eat al-fresco.
Other things to note
- Please note that this property is set in a unique location several miles from Castlemartin military range. The Castlemartin military range closes for the weekend and during school holidays in August. There are guided walks available during August on the scenic coastal area that covers the range. There can be day manoeuvres and occasionally there are evening manoeuvres, although the range covers an area of 2400 hectares you may hear live firing and see tanks in the distance over farmland. Please bare this is mind if you have a nervous pet.
- There is a travel cot bed and highchair available upon request
- Additional single sofa bed available in master bedroom upon request
- The property is suitable for children over 4 years old, or babies in arms, due to the nature of the staircases
- Access statement available on request
Locally there is so much to see and do. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path is a spectacular 186 mile (299km) long National Trail covering some of the most varied coastal scenery. T
The Barn is ideally located between some of West Wales’ most picturesque beaches: Freshwater West and Angle Beach to the west and Barafundle Bay, Stackpole Quay and Broadhaven South to the East.
As well as the beaches, for families you have a large assortment of attractions such as Folly Farm, Manor Park, Heatherton and Oakwood for thrill seekers. The area is also ideal for walkers with the Pembrokeshire National Coast Path as well as picturesque country walks and footpaths, including those accessible across the Castlemartin military range which have seasonal opening to give access to less frequented and stunning scenic coastal areas.
There is also a good choice of outdoor activities available in the area, ranging from horse riding, coasteering, to a variety of water sports, stand up paddle boarding, abseiling, orienteering, caving, and gorge walking.
There is an abundance of historical attractions locally, including the medieval town of Pembroke with Pembroke Castle (the birth place of Henry VII) and moat, and numerous other historic houses such as Lamphey Bishops Palace.
There are many beautiful, rugged beaches in Pembrokeshire, along with popular coastal resorts of Tenby and Saundersfoot. A perfect holiday home for families and couples to enjoy beautiful Pembrokeshire at all times of year.

Gorgeous cottage in one of my favourite area in Wales, close to the most beautiful beaches in the UK.
The cottage is beautiful with a nice private garden overlooking wild land down to the sea
Nothing. Be aware it's probably better to have a car as the village does not have any shops nor pubs

Fantastic location, property and good value. Even the weather behaved itself!

We had a really good stay at The Barn and Chaffhouse. The accommodation is well decorated and comfortable. Nice welcome park on arrival including tea and coffee. Dishwasher tablets were appreciated.
Constructive feedback that can be offered
1) provide more cleaning products. It’s turn easier to keep the place clean. E.g lichen spray, kitchen roll.
2) please provide some more bowls for breakfast and replace chipped crockery.
Thanks for having us.

We enjoyed a lovely week at this beautiful cottage! Plenty of space for kids and dog both inside and outside. It was just a short drive to Freshwater West beach for awesome sand, surfing and rock pools. Would definitely recommend for a family holiday.

A wonderful and beautiful home, with a very cost and relaxing feel. It is great for wanting to get away from the buzz of people with a fantastic beach less than 5 mins away. Very well presented and a great place to stay. Enjoy, we did!!

We had a lovely stay - in particular we enjoyed the excellent living space/kitchen and outside area. Our baby especially loved playing on the big living room rug.
The surrounding area is amazing and the property is very well located for access to beaches, Tenby, Pembroke, Bosherston, Stackpole etc. The only thing was the proximity to the MOD area, which we were prepared for, but I think they were perhaps doing extra tank and machine gun practice during our stay. It can be a little disconcerting having your evening meal peppered with the sound of tank and machine gun fire. I understand this wouldn’t be a problem during the summer school holidays or weekend though.
We loved going to the different beaches etc. and we also had some lovely meals out - including at the fabulous Paternoster Farm which is only round the corner (must book in advance).

The Barn and Chaffhouse was perfect for our getaway Christmas break- so quiet and peaceful, the open-plan living area was beautiful and the facilities were outstanding. We loved the remote location and walking on the nearby beaches. The house was warm and cosy- a really relaxing break.

Place is very big, nice, cozzy and clean. Just check-in is late and check-out is early. Worth the money.

I love Wales and this is a great place to stay for Pembrokeshire.
The coast is a 4 minute drive and parking to gorgeous freshwater west.
Pembroke is 10 mins away and a lovely town. Go to the games cafe on the high street for fun and get the scoop on best places to eat.
We felt at home in the barn. The weather was awful with high winds across the SW and it rained every day but we felt so toasty once we were inside after a day out. The home heating is very clever and we popped on the lovely fire when needed.
Despite the weather we managed to have a wonderful time. I’ve never laughed so much trying to stand up with high winds.
Plenty of wonderful dog friendly places.
Bring your wellies!

Great space in a good location - especially if walking the coast path. Some care is required negotiating the upstairs bedroom spaces as head height is very limited.

Beautiful place in beautiful surroundings. Less than 10 min drive to stubby freshwater west beaches and within 30 minutes of tonnes of activities and days out. Place was spotless, well stocked and very spacious. Communication was speedy and friendly. Would recommend.

We had the most wonderful week at The Barn and Chaffhouse. Such a beautiful property, and amazingly well equipped! Every little detail had been thought of - plentiful supply of crockery, cutlery and (very importantly) wine glasses! Large, thick, soft towels. Powerful showers. Full suite of modern appliances. Beautiful log burner with wood supplied (although the heating was so good we only lit it once for effect!). Excellent wifi, smart tv with Netflix. Great views over surrounding countryside and we were lucky to see some action on the firing range - we didn’t find this noisy or intrusive at all, just exciting! Garden is nicely enclosed and really well kept. All in all, cannot fault this place. Looking forward to a return visit.

Our second time at a Great Welsh Escape’s property. Had a lovely time in a beautiful recently refurbished barn.
Our dog also loved the enclosed garden that wrapped around the property.
There a is a beautiful beach 5min down the road, got in a few good walks even in February. Can imaging in summer it would be a daily trip.
Looking forward to future breaks.

We loved everything about the barn and chaffhouse and the children are wanting us to buy a barn of our own. The barn is perfect and the area is stunning. We've been staycationing in Croyde for years and moving forward we have decided to make this our new staycation venue. Very Impressed. Comfortably accommodated our family - Mum, Dad and 4 children, 6, 4, 2 and 5 months.

We had been before so everything ran like clockwork. Ou r only complaint was that the big ceiling lights were covered in dust and the fridge is very small and not easy to access but we never the less loved it as much as the first time. Almost perfect.
Thank you.
