Come and stay in this delightful stone built traditional Welsh cottage set in one of most picturesque hamlets in Pembrokeshire, the historic fishing village of Trefin. Preswylfa lies just a stone’s throw from the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park footpath where you can discover the picture postcard coves and cliffs of this rugged and sublime North Pembrokeshire coastline. This location is perfect for family days on the beach, with Whitesands Bay close to St Davids (ideal for building sandcastles), and Aberfelin is just a short walk away, where your family can play in rock pools and uncover crabs, shrimps or if you are lucky, a starfish. After a busy day on the beach, relax with an evening meal in the local pub which is a short walk from your cottage.
Preswylfa, an end of terrace cottage, has been thoughtfully restored to retain many of the original features and charm. In the evening you can get away from it all and relax in the dining area with a good book in front of the cosy wood burner or enjoy a family evening in the living room with exposed beams and slate floors. You can take in the evening air and watch the world go by in the courtyard with a glass of wine overlooking the village square.
A trip to Trefin is not complete without visiting the city of St Davids a short drive away, the most westerly point of Wales, and Britain’s smallest city. St Davids Cathedral is the final resting place of Saint David, Wales’ patron saint and next to the cathedral, you can also visit the 13th century Bishops Palace, a truly magnificent sight. Travelling south, Newgale Beach is 10 miles away and is famous for water sports, here you can surf, kayak, swim or you may prefer a quiet early morning stroll. Inland you can visit the market town of Narberth with its many galleries, café and craft shops and for a family day out, a visit to the award-winning Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo, Oakwood Theme Park or Heatherton World of Activities is sure to keep everyone entertained.

The cottage looked tired as in paint work peeling, weeds in the garden. Dust balls in the front room and floor soaking wet with puddles left in the bathroom. Upstairs shower wouldn’t get hot, radio stopped working when going to locate fuse box to see if it had blown a fuse the fuse box wasn’t where the manual said and we couldn’t find it. Not enough mugs glasses all missed matched and a a lack of teaspoons. Was not value for money. Disappointing after such a very lovely cottage last year in Yorkshire. Also a storm blew out the internet and tv. Single beds were very hard and uncomfortable not suitable for adults.

We spent a lovely week at the cottage despite challenging weather the cottage was well equipped clean & spacious. It is well positioned for trips to St David’s & beautiful costal walks. Only things to note is the enclosed garden is only about a two foot strip in front of the cottage which meant we had to go out with our dog every time we let him out. Also there is no convenience shop within walking distance so have everything you need with you. Otherwise lovely stay.

A lovely cottage but no logs provided for log burner which meant some parts of the cottage were quite cold this time of year...
