About this property
Maenclochog 3.5 miles. Shippen Cottage, an agreeable pet-friendly cottage nestled near the village of Maenclochog, Pembrokeshire. Suited for families or friends, this abode features a woodburning stove, an open-plan layout, a private garden and an on-site pool. After arriving and parking up in the off-road space, you’ll be greeted by a traditional stone exterior and a peaceful garden setting, once the site of the original milking parlour—‘shippen’ meaning cowshed. Step through the door and head into the open-plan living space, where exposed beams and warm lighting create a welcoming atmosphere. Prepare a hearty meal in the kitchen, with everything you need close to hand, and gather around the dining table to enjoy it together.
Afterwards, sink into the corner sofa and unwind beside the woodburning stove, perhaps with a film or a favourite book. Climb the ladder stairs to reach the mezzanine twin bedroom, tucked beneath a sloping ceiling with Velux windows and exposed beams. From here, you can gaze out over the nearby dam and lake, a tranquil view to wake up to. Two further double bedrooms on the ground floor offer restful spaces for couples or solo guests, while the bathroom invites you to soak in the tub or refresh under the shower. At the rear of the property, the utility room provides a practical space for muddy boots and laundry, with direct access to the enclosed garden.
Outside, enjoy a morning coffee on the patio or let the dog stretch their legs while you plan the day ahead. Guests also benefit from access to Ivy Court’s shared facilities, including a seasonal covered swimming pool, games room, footgolf, and a children’s play area—all just a short stroll away. Whether you’re relaxing indoors or exploring the grounds, Shippen Cottage offers a peaceful base for your Pembrokeshire escape.
