Pembrokeshire Lawrenny Farm Cottages

Wow, we could live here... that’s been the response of countless Tedion and Vallen guests when they first go into our holiday cottages. All three cottages are a far cry from the austerity of typical holiday homes. Instead, they have been furnished to the standard of a very comfortable family home, with all the mod-cons you’re used to. The three cottages are located in the rural Landsker region of stunning south Pembrokeshire on neighbouring farms. Just a short drive apart, they sleep up to 18 people between them. The two Vallen Farm cottages are both 5-star quality, with their own, fenced gardens.  They back onto the farm yard and look out over glorious rolling farmland.  Their peaceful, end-of-lane setting makes for a peaceful, away-from-it-all holiday setting.  Vallen Calf Barn is the largest, sleeping up to 8 in four bedrooms.   Spacious and airy, it has three bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs and a double bedroom and bathroom downstairs, making it very popular with extended family groups.  Gran and Grandad can enjoy a little privacy downstairs while the rest of the family have their own space upstairs.   A large, open plan living area and kitchen creates a great holiday ambience.  Outside, the property looks out over a large field usually populated with sheep, alpacas and Welsh mountain ponies.  Patio with wooden furniture and BBQ provide a great place to enjoy lovely views of rolling farmland.Also at Vallen is the Vallen Cart House, a two-bedroom cottage with two bathrooms, sleeping 4.  Again, having a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor makes this a popular choice for all ages.  The cottage backs onto the farmyard and opens onto a private, fenced garden overlooking a natural pond and wide open views of organic farmland.  Pygmy goats across the lane provide plenty of entertainment (and instant composting facilities by gratefully guzzling peelings and left-over vegetables!)     

A small collection of farm cottages in a beautiful part of Pembrokeshire. Visit south Wales for a walking holiday and enjoy fantastic views and a warm welcome. Wonderful in spring and easter - lots of blossom and wild flowers.

With easy access to the famous Pembrokeshire Coastal Path - all 186 miles of it - the cottages make a great base for walkers.  And the importance of the Pembroekshire Coast National Park as a bird sanctuary is not lost on twitchers - many are the bird watchers who make an annual pilgrimmage to witness the resident population of stunning brids of prey and British song birds, as well as annual migrants ranging from puffins to gannets.

Lawrenny Farm Cottages are not only for nature lovers though.  We're within ten miles of the Big 3 Pembrokeshire attractions - oakwoods Theme Park, Folly Farm and Heatherton Leisure Park, so there's plenty for the little'uns to look forward to.  Opening in 2008 is the much heralded Blue Lagoon waterworld at Blueston Village, which promises to be something special.

And the huge beaches of Tenby and Saundersfoot, the walk-to beach of Barfundle and pretty little coves and hideaway beaches are all within an easy drive from our farm cottages.
