Resting on top of Dinas Mountain on the outskirts of Dinas Cross, Pembrokeshire is this beautiful, detached barn conversion, Tŷ Mellen. Hosting four guests in two bedrooms, the detached cottage is full of character for a unique retreat in a rural location away from the hustle and bustle. Drive up a farm lane to find the stone cottage sitting picture-perfect just next to the owner's property, where you can leave your car in the off-road parking space and take in the panoramic views. Step through the pretty, Preseli blue doors and be welcomed into the open-plan kitchen/diner; white-washed walls, quaint little windows and hard wooden floors make for a charming space to rustle up home-cooked meals using the electric Smeg Ceramic cooker, whilst the dishwasher and washing machine help you keep everything clean. Dine at the rustic wooden table with pew benches to enjoy a meal with your loved ones after an adventure-filled along the Pembrokeshire coast. On colder days, retreat to the warmth of the woodburning stove in the sitting room, with sofas to sink into, a TV for entertainment, or simply rest with a good book in hand. Freshen up in the ground-floor shower room with a walk-in shower to rinse the day away, before catching your rest in one of two bedrooms; a ground-floor double also has outside access to start the day with mountain-fresh air, whilst upstairs a mezzanine family room with double and twin is a snug room with sloped ceilings, exposed beams and sea views from the Velux windows. Why not rise early to catch the sunrise with your morning coffee at the picnic bench? Wherever you stand around Tŷ Mellen, you'll be treated with sweeping views across the countryside or all the way down the coast, whilst the sheep gently graze around the property. A short walk and climb over a stile will take you onto the renowned Pembrokeshire Coast Path, making this a walker's paradise; picturesque coves, beaches and rugged coastlines await avid explorers, wildlife enthusiasts or those seeking a sandy spot to soak up the sun. For self-catering essentials, take a short drive into Dinas for two well stocked small shops that sell local and familiar staples. Supermarkets are found just a little further in either direction. You’ll find The Bridgend Inn nearby in the valley at Llanychaer or The Castle Inn in Newport. Pwllgwaelod Beach and Aberfforest Beach are two nearby sanctuaries to dip your toes in the sea, or venture to the historic hamlet of Cwm yr Eglwys. The coastal town of Fishguard is home to a bustling bay, the ruins of Fishguard Fort and Rhos Wdig nature reserve, whilst Newport is a lovely day out to visit Ty Twt Dolls’ House and Toy Museum. With gorgeous coastlines and countryside on its unique doorstep, choose Tŷ Mellen for your Pembrokeshire base.
Dinas Cross is a little village nestled between the Preseli Mountains and the lovely Pembrokeshire Coast Path. It contains a well-stocked mini market and a pub. Pwll Gwaelod and Cwm-Yr-Eglwys beaches are both minutes away, both with breathtaking scenery offering the opportunity for tranquil days in perfect settings.

The cottage was lovely and would consider coming back again. The welcome pack was greatly appreciated too. We also made great friends with the local young black cat!

The house was perfect for our needs. The kids had space to play outside and we enjoyed the rural position. Loved the local beaches as always and visited Whitesands near St Davidâs for a day too. Thank you we love the area.

We had a lovely time. Couldn't fault the cottage. Everything we needed was provided. Beautiful location. Perfect escape. So quiet. Several walks from the cottage and only a short drive to some of the nicest beaches. Fishguard and Newport again only a short drive. Hopefully return one day. Thank you.
