Lower Lochturffin - 'the boundary of the marsh water'.

The Welsh Government's 'Visit Wales' 5-star rating, with a perfect score of 175 out of 175 for the sixth consecutive year. Also certified by 'Visit Wales' as meeting the requirements of its Walkers and Cyclists Welcome Scheme. Recommended in the 'Travel Doctor' column of The Times newspaper 15 October 2016. A unique beautifully renovated home of two Pembrokeshire stone barns, in part dating back to the early 18th century, linked together by a central lounge which has floor to ceiling glass walls on two sides and a turf roof.

Amazing location, with beautiful sunsets, overlooking and with access to private nature reserve containing two small lakes and a meadow with large pond, both surrounded by beautiful countryside.

Guests often return, with repeat bookings typical.

The property is accessed down a gated private tree lined drive-way of roughly a quarter mile. Set in approximately seven acres of fenced, landscaped and wooded gardens and nature reserve, there is plenty of room for children to play and kick a ball. August 2014 saw the commencement of a biodiversity project in the meadow to restore it to wild flowers and trees native only to the British Isles.

Lower Lochturffin has its own unique and specially compiled 100 page pictorial user guide book, featuring the history and meaning of the name of the cottage, the amenities the cottage has to offer and a personal review by the family owners of the many nearby local beaches, places to eat, picnic sites, gardens to visit and places for guests to visit on their way home.

Whilst the cottage is fenced off from the nature reserve, lakes and pond, the lakes and pond each being about 100 yards from the cottage, guests should always supervise their children when they are in the nature reserve or meadow, particularly where the children are young or unable to swim.

Lower Lochturffin is a stylishly furnished and equipped quality holiday cottage with extremely high standards throughout.

Eat out on the patio, with its sun loungers and barbecue, with views to the nature reserve, or have a picnic in the meadow or at some of the other picnic spots suggested in the user guide. We have a picnic backpack for your use.

Under floor central heating - every room with its' own thermostatic control, and an oil burning stove in the lounge makes this beautiful home extremely comfortable and warm all year.

The family owners place a high emphasis on ensuring the cleanliness of the cottage, with the house keeper having received many compliments in the visitors' book for it being spotless.

You can park within a few yards of the front door and there is just a single step in the cottage, between the lounge and two of the three bedrooms.There is no step at the main entry door to the cottage, allowing for easy wheelchair access.

There are no extra charges over and above what you pay to Quality Cottages. Two pet dogs are also very welcome free of charge - the immediate and greater property is fenced.
