About this property
MAY COTTAGE - family friendly with stunning lakeside views
Refurbished in 2018, May Cottage at Castle-Ely-Mill, is our 3 bed sleeps 6, family friendly cottage which was part of the original medieval watermill. The cottage spans the top floor of what was once a stone barn, offering views out across the private fishing lake.
May Cottage sleeps 6 in a double, twin and bunk bedroom, with a large family bathroom - bath, seperate shower cubicle, macerator toilet. The open plan living/dining/kitchen has everything you need for a comfortable stay, plus amazing views over the grounds.
May Cottage is one of 3 self catering cottages located on the Pembrokeshire/ Carmarthenshire border, mid way between Red Roses and Llanteg. With four and half acres of landscaped grounds and wonderful lakeside views, a stay here offers a peaceful retreat whilst also being within easy access of the many beaches and family activities that the area has to offer - Folly Farm and Oakwood are just a short drive away.
Rose Cottage is a 1 bedroom cottage located below May Cottage.

About the host
Hosted by Suzie & Andrew Grimwood
We moved to Pembrokeshire in May 2012 after living and working in the London area for almost 20 years. We decided that it was time for a change of lifestyle so we took a leap of faith, moving from the city to the countryside – and what a great move it has been! We live on site in the converted watermill with our 2 dogs.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this property after seeing it on the internet. Although we viewed a number of other properties in the area which also offered holiday let opportunities, none lived up to Castle Ely Mill. We were captivated by the main house, the holiday let cottages, the grounds and the location. There is so much to do and see within a short drive of here – we are sure that you will love it as much as we do.
