Tranquillity in Stylish Victorian Walled Garden Barn Conversion
The Old Boiler House in the Victorian Walled Garden at Penty Parc, in deep rural Pembrokeshire, has been lovingly converted to a charming retreat for couples who love getting back to nature, peace, solitude, star gazing and friendly dogs!
The barn is built around the remains of an old boiler house within a 3 acre walled garden, with glorious uninterrupted views over open countryside to the Preseli Hills. One whole quadrant of the 3 Acres is for guests' private use, including a fire pit, a decked area, ample parking and access to walks from the door.
The internal fittings are stylish and comfortable with an emphasis on sustainability. Modern insulation techniques and ceiling fans ensure a cool feel during hot days and a log burner provides the opportunity for cosy nights in.
The loft bedroom has a double bed with a pocket sprung mattress and there is also an extra single day bed in the 'Cwtch' with a Tempur mattress, all ensuring a comfortable nights sleep in the silence of the countryside.
The sofa has pull out footrests for lounging to watch TV or listen to music. The kitchen area and bathroom are equipped for your comfort and ease. There are facilities to eat inside or out and lounger chairs and seating for the patio and garden.
The deck and slate patio (just through the gate to the field) give sheltered all day and evening sunshine in the company of birdsong and the rustling of leaves from the row of ancient Hornbeams which mark the boundary.
Also included in the property’s garden is a restored fire pit: perfect for outside dining, sunbathing or star gazing at the spiral arm of the galaxy. With no light pollution and way below the reach of any wind it's a must for any night sky enthusiast as well a very special place to enjoy peace and quiet around a fire. Snuggle up with one of the throws provided, listen to music and gaze at the stars on clear nights.
The decking is the ideal spot for breakfast on sunny mornings where you will almost certainly enjoy a feast of bird song and enjoy watching the resident honey bees foraging in the bee friendly borders.
The owners have two friendly dogs and welcome sociable dogs to stay and roam freely in the garden. There is also a 10 acre enclosed field directly behind the Garden which leads to a further 3.5 acres of wild woodland with a stream: a short walk back up a bridle path gives a super circular walk from your very door. Within a couple of miles are two enormous, dog friendly Country Parks at Scolton Manor and Llys y Fran dam.
Access is via a lane which runs along the intriguingly restored walls of the garden and leads to ample parking at The Old Boiler House built into the North East corners of the 2 feet thick Wall itself.
A few complementary essentials (depending on the season) are provided to ease your arrival as well as honey from the resident hives when available.
The property is centrally located with easy access to local beaches, the coastal path, Preseli hill walking, a riding stables and two country parks. A little further afield are the beaches, hills, villages and countryside of North & South Pembrokeshire with many coastal, sporting and rural attractions on offer. A visit to Pembroke Castle, birthplace of the Tudors, and The National Botanical Garden of Wales are all within easy reach.
This property offers the opportunity to escape to peaceful solitude or is a base for exploring this diverse and beautiful county. Whether you select adventurous activities or simply want to get away from it all, the property affords you plenty of choice!

About the host
Hosted by Lesley Lewis
Returning to my home county of Pembrokeshire in 1989 I purchased & restored the former HQ of a local brewery chain and opened what has evolved into The George's, a restaurant and café bar specialising in local food and natural products.
The Penty Parc Walled Garden was purchased in a totally derelict state 2007 and was home only to crumbling ivy clad walls, ruined buildings hinting as to it's former glory and 3 acres of impassable brambles. Now ten years on it is once again a productive garden with buildings restored, an orchard reinstated and many, many beautiful features.
The Penty Parc Walled Garden was purchased in a totally derelict state 2007 and was home only to crumbling ivy clad walls, ruined buildings hinting as to it's former glory and 3 acres of impassable brambles. Now ten years on it is once again a productive garden with buildings restored, an orchard reinstated and many, many beautiful features.
Why they chose this property
The whole Penty Parc Country estate had been broken up and sold off for private development and the purchase of the Walled Garden was the perfect choice to fulfil my desire to grow organic produce for use in the Restaurant as well as set up an Apiary. The surrounding area is ideal for bees with no commercial crops, just wildflower & grazing.
What makes this property unique
A holiday in The Walled Garden with its many features is a truly unique opportunity to escape from today's busy world and take a trip back in time to a different world without compromising your comfort! A world where once the sounding of the Penty Parc bell each morning called the many workers to tend to their labours in the main house, dairy, laundry, stables, walled garden and in the 1000's of acres of pasture & surrounding woodland.
