About this property

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.

Property was nice and big for all of us to stay in. Property in need of maintenance, beds were very uncomfortable.Only one oven working in the barn kitchen.On suite bathroom basin was unusable in the main house due to waste pipe breaking. Hosts communicated very well and quick responses.
Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 9 Nov 2025
Hi Sarah Thanks for your review, We are sorry you found the beds uncomfortable and indeed surprised as we have had numerous comments as to how well people have slept in both cottages. All of the ovens were working fine when we checked, although one does need both, the multi-function selector as well as the temperature selector to be used, for it to operate. The instruction manual for the oven is in the back of the cottage information book. Also I think I chatted with a member of your party on every day of your stay and on every occasion enquired as to whether everything was OK and on no occasion was the oven mentioned. I can only apologise for the fact that the basin waste in the ensuite broke two days before the end of your stay and that it was not possible to get it fixed before you left you left.

Christmas Break in Solva

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.

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.

Lovely countryside stay in Pembrokeshire

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.

A lovely venue for a large family gathering, five children aged from 3 - 14, seven adults and two dogs. Well equipped for dining and socialising. Outside space was ideal both in respect of a secluded garden area for bbq’s and football area for the children to let off steam. The pool table was also a big hit.

Hi Penny, Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review—we really appreciate it! It’s a shame Pembrokeshire’s famous blustery weather made an appearance during your stay, but we loved seeing how you all made the most of it. I’m really sorry I didn’t get the chance to meet you this time—your visit happened to coincide with a hen weekend in Spain, and I also dedicate a couple of days each week to caring for my mum. That said, I did get to say hello to one of your group on a couple of occasions, and it was lovely to hear that, despite the weather, you all enjoyed your time here and managed to explore so much of the area. Hopefully, next time you visit, the sunshine will be on your side. It goes without saying, we would absolutely love to welcome you back to Ffynnonddewi any time. Warmest wishes, Luci, Gareth & Harri

Good base for a great week in Pembrokeshire.

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.

A peaceful experience

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!
