The Barn, Trefin, Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK
General Description
The property has two bedrooms and sleeps up to four on the first floor. The property was originally built in the 1750's but totally rebuilt with the spirit of the original building in 2007. It incorporates modern facilities whilst retaining the original character.
The cottage includes a welcome pack, tea, coffee, wine, welsh cakes and cleaning equipment etc. Bed linen is included but towels are not. Change over day is Saturday.
Features
Down stairs we have a long narrow well equipped kitchen, with electric hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge and all the extras you'd expect. This leads in to a large dining room with an 8 seater table. Ideal if you're renting with friends or family. There is a full height window which via a balcony goes straight up to the main bedroom, so make sure you know everyone you are sharing with fairly well! There is a down stairs WC, then a large lounge. The lounge has a large 32" flat screen TV, sumptious leather suite and again the whole property has heated slate floors. The lounge also benefits from a Quad Electrostatic audio system, probably the finest money can buy (as used by the BBC and in the Albert Hall). It includes radio, CD and MP3 inputs so you can bring you own music and simply connect to the headphone socket if you wish. Within the lounge is a mezzanine floor accessed via a stowable loft ladder. This is where the kids (over 10's) or the other couple can sleep, but probably not while the tv or stereo is on! See note below.
A lovely steel and wood spiral takes you upstairs to the only room, the master bedroom. This also has a wall mounted 32" flat screen TV, rooflight looking out over the Irish Sea, a balcony over the dining room and a gorgeous en suite bathroom which although small, contains an enormous double 2 person bath (with shower), with cushioned head rests and ....... Under bath lighting! This really is the place for couples to relax and unwind with a glass of wine after a hard days........anything or nothing.
The upstairs bedroom can also be accessed by a traditional external slate staircase at the front of the cottage.
The bathroom is en suite, so whilst there is a loo downstairs, anyone else wanting a bath is going to have to come into the master bedroom!
Ideal for two adults on a romantic luxurious getaway, but will cater for up to four adults.
Note on the sleeping accommodation in the Barn. This cottage was designed with luxury for two in mind, with a mezzanine for two kids when needed. The mezzanine is in the lounge area and accessed by a small loft type ladder. Kids love it and treat it as a Den, there is low head room at the sides under the pitched roof. It is however above the TV so its unlikely they'll sleep if someone's watching TV or playing games. The stairs are also quite steep which is why we would not recommend it for under 10's!
Specification
The property is approximately 500m from the local beach which is quiet, secluded and beautiful. It is stony and some people like to swim there, it is never busy. The nearest long sandy beach is approx 10km away (Whitesands) near to St Davids. This beach is 1km long and here you can swim or surf or just sunbathe. The beach is perfect for surfers and body boarders and hosts the annual national surf life saving championships every summer.
The nearest golf course is less than 5km away from the property, however we have a further 3 courses within 10 - 15km distance, one of which is at Whitesands Bay as mentioned above.
St Davids (the smallest city in the UK) is 10km away and full of ancient history, local architecture and of course the beautiful rambling St Davids cathedral.
The property is set in 13 acres of farm land, 2 acres is unfarmed and left purposely for renters to play in. However, you are welcome to explore the 13 acres, to the perimeter when crops are in season or anywhere when not.
Some people wish to holiday with other families, and we are fortunate in having 3 other similar properties on the same site, so you can share your holiday experience, whilst remaining in your own "home from home". Together, the properties can accommodate up to 16 people in multiples of up to 4 per property.
We offer several optional perks for those who are more ambitious. We have a water ski boat which we can make available for water ski or wakeboard lessons, or tows if you are experienced.
We also have a selection of kids motorcycle scramblers, and an adults one for those of you who would like to tear around the farm on two wheels.
Finally, we have a two seat, fully aerobatic, open cockpit biplane which we are happy to take renters in for a view of the beautiful Pembrokeshire coast. You may take the controls if you wish, and we can do pleasure flights or aerobatic sessions. All the above are paid for by voluntary donation from the renters, but we are happy to give renters an indication of the normal donation required to cover the cost of the facilities. You will probably be surprised at how cheap these exciting experiences are!! If you are interested in the aeroplane, please let us know when you book so that we can ensure tha aeroplane is available.
Nearest airport is Withybush, a small private airport, 15 km away. Nearest international airport is Cardiff which is approx 150km away
