About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Large Secluded, Pet Friendly Cottage, set in 12 acres-Great Base For Exploring

Set in it's own 12 acres of grounds and pasture land, and surrounded by many more, Ffynnonddewi is made up of a traditional Pembrokeshire farmhouse and adjoining, converted barn and milking parlour, making it perfect for a multi-generational get together or if some of the party just need some space away from the group.

Furnished with lovely comfy beds, with Egyptian cotton linen and traditional Welsh throws, cushions and fluffy towels, you will feel right at home.

But that's where tradition ends, the kitchens are fitted with the latest modern appliances and gadgets and the house is served with superfast broadband and wifi which is also connected to the 4k ultra HD TV with freeview play and a Chromecast HD so you can stream your own media directly from your phone, tablet or laptop and whilst we do not have a cable or satellite package you can easily stream your own Sky or Virgin media Go package directly onto the fully internet connected TV

A perfect secluded base for holidays, celebrations, adventures, escapes or just to rest and relax.
Summers at Ffynnonddewi are all about fun and freedom, beaches, surfing and adventure activities as well as the great outdoors, or quiet walks along the Coastal Path.
You will be spoilt for choice with many of Pembrokeshire's best beaches close by, with the fantastic Newgale being just 5 minutes away.
The coast path and nearest beach is within walking distance from the house.

Winters are all about getting together with friends and family for celebrations and parties and snuggling down in front of a roaring log fire, and having no near neighbours you can really let your hair down.
The property underwent a complete refurbishment and conversion back in 2005 and recently underwent a full programme of further upgrades to an even higher standard.

If your dates are not available please do contact us by following the "ask owner a question" link, we may still be able to help. Also if you require a 5 or 6 night break please do also get in touch for our very best price.
Short breaks, minimum 4 nights, available outside of the school holidays (check-ins Sat-Tue, check-out Wed-Sat). Xmas (21st-28th) and New Year (28th-4th) both 5 night minimum.

During the summer we also operate a small family oriented campsite, in an adjacent field , should a few nights under canvas be more to your liking, or you have friends wanting to stay close at hand, please contact us for more details.

Wonderful house to stay, which worked perfectly for our extended family holiday. Lots to do around the area to suit everyone, and back to the barn for family meals. Clean, welcoming and well-equipped. We had a fantastic week that passed too quickly. Thank you Gareth & Luci, you were kind and generous hosts.

Wonderful stay at Ffynondewi - Gareth and Luci were very easy to deal with, property as described, kitchen well equipped. Location is quite remote but that’s what we were expecting and did a first big shop on the way in Haverfordwest. the Pembrokeshire coastal path is stunningly beautiful with picturesque Solva and St David‘s nearby. BBQ grill and outdoor space were great. Good number of bedrooms and bathrooms.

This was a truly wonderful place to stay. The kitchen was really well equipped and the large kitchen table was a great central meeting place. The hosts were really helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend.

We stayed as an extended family and made good use of the separate spaces offered, the weather was very windy but lovely for outdoor walks and activities, with a splendid log burner to chat round the fire and play charades with the grandchildren in the evening! Happy family meals. A very moving visit to St David’s Cathedral also made our stay.

Excellent week at Fynnonddewi. Properties are of a high standard, excellent finish with everything you could need during your stay. Plenty of field space around and a secure rear garden for our dog so we could relax outside. Minutes from Solva and a 10 minute drive to Newgale and St David’s. Highly recommend a stay here.

Ffynnonddewi provided very comfortable and well equipped accommodation for our family holiday. Rooms were all comfortable and plenty of bathrooms. The best feature was the big kitchen dining table which was great for family use. The kitchen was very well equipped with lots of cooking stuff as well as crockery/cutlery/glasses etc. The property was well located close to many beaches as well as St David’s/ Newport and all the lovely little villages.

The property was ideal for our large group aged 4 - 81. Lots of space, well-eqipped, secure garden for playing and barbecue, really close to Solva village for basics, pubs, shops, etc and crabbing! Also short trip to Newgale beach - ideal for kayaking and body boarding. Host was great, very helpful and accommodating. Good time was had by all.

We stayed as a group of 10 adults, one baby and a dog. The house was perfect for our needs. We know the area well and it was a good location to visit all the areas we wanted to. The house was well appointed, with everything in the kitchen we needed for family meals. Thanks for the welcome packs.

The house was excellent! A well equiped kitchen, comfy beds, plently of space and games galore. We made full use of the pool table. Downside is you need a car to get to the beach and the rabbit warren of roads is a bit of a challenge. Also was expecting more of a view from.the house. I would however thoroughly recommend this beautiful house and converted barn.

Spent our annual family holiday here and had a lovely week. Lots of room for everyone across the two houses, which were really well set up with lots of attention to detail. Had an issue with WiFi but Gareth endeavoured to sort it out asap. Loads of detail in the information booklet provided, really helpful! A beautiful part of Wales, stunning coastline and plenty of water activities to try out. No local pub within walking distance but Solva is only a short drive away and has some lovely ones to sample! Overall, a great stay, would recommend!

We came as a party of 9 with 4 dogs between us. The property was fantastic and the hosts amazing. Gareth organised and cooked the food for the birthday party that we had. It was spot on and even had left overs for the day after. I would recommend the property. Ideal for family and friends and with the enclosed garden great for the 4 legged members. Communications were great and lots of useful information given before we arrived. Hope to return in the near future. 10/10

Our party comprised 7 adults, 6 children and a dog. Each property was ideally equipped with everything we needed. The outside space was ideal for the evenings and the grandkids loved sitting round the firepit. The location was perfect as a base for visiting the various local beaches but it's vital to check the tide times daily at whichever you plan to visit as at high tide the sand can disappear (Newgale). By consensus Whitesands was our favourite. Would not hesitate to recommend the property for a large party like ours.

We rented both properties for a large family get together at Christmas. The photos do not do these properties justice. They were both fantastic. Clean, well equipped with a very homely feel. Luci and Gareth had decorated both properties for Christmas and had left us some lovely goodies and very thoughtful items (crackers and turkey tray!) The booking process was very easy and communication with the owners was brilliant - I had a few questions before arrival which were all answered timely and in depth. Thank you for a memorable Christmas. I would not hesitate to recommend.

The property inside was excellent no complaints about that. The outside was not what we expected as a listing of secluded property. The campsite was next to the house (the owner did say they were going to move it at some stage, but that didn't help us) so consequently we had campers driving past the house some at speed.Also children from the campsite playing very noisily at the end of the house and walking past the property very noisily, when we were getting our children to bed. The views from the house were not as expected either, with the bins etc on view opposite the french doors by the kitchen. I appreciate that the back garden was secure but we were expecting to be able to see a view from it. The location is great with more than enough to do for a weeks stay.

We were really happy with the accommodation/location and local information supplied. Solva was lovely place for lunch and a walk. And the beach at Newgale was wonderful although the access was not good for anyone with a disability. Everything we needed was available in the accommodation and there was 14 of us and 1 baby & 5 dogs. Our only one thing was the camp site in the area next to the cottages was not in the picture or mentioned on the information so when we thought we could let the dogs loose to run around in the field we could not due to the campers. Some also drove through the area in front of the cottages to come in/out which also concerned us with the dogs being outside. I think the campers were supposed to use a different entrance. But overall we loved our family time there celebrating a 30th wedding anniversary and a 90th birthday and I would recommend.

The owner Gareth was friendly and helpful, and we had good communication from him and Lucie prior to our arrival. The properties weren't quite as secluded as we were expecting from the description as the campsite is literally adjacent to them although this didn't cause any issues. The kitchen in the barn conversion is a great social space for a group of 14 adults and teenagers as was the garden and lounge and both properties are equipped with everything you might need. We had a good time and the location is great for exploring the local area and only a short drive to the beaches.
