Cilwendeg Lodge

Original features blend with modern comforts and sophisticated style in this historic property in the Pembrokeshire countryside, perfect for couples and small families with older children. It’s set within a large estate that dates to the late 18th century.

The fascinating Grade II-listed Cilwendeg Shell House Hermitage is only 1 mile away – book online in advance for an intriguing visit. The nearest pub is just a mile away, serving real ales and home-cooked food, while the stunning coastline can be reached in 10 miles for days at the beach or bracing coast path walks.

A footpath from the property runs to Fynnone Waterfall (2 miles), while Cenarth Falls is just 3.5 miles away. The magnificent Cilgerran Castle is just 4 miles away, or head 7.5 miles to Cardigan and its Norman castle and guildhall market.

For a fun and educational day out, visit the National Wool Museum (10.5 miles). Take the two steps up to the front door of this handsome hideaway and explore its elegant interior.

In the inviting lounge you’ll find gorgeous slate flooring, a pitched ceiling, deep-set windows and a wood burner set in an inglenook. An L-shaped sofa provides an enticing spot in which to stretch out and relax, enjoying a book, some music or the Smart TV.

Two steps lead down to the kitchen/diner, a sleek space in which exposed-stone walls contrast with the texture of glossy cabinets. The dining nook is the perfect size for up to four guests to gather, and all cooking equipment is provided to ensure tasty meals can be conjured up easily.

There’s a dishwasher to help with cleaning up, and a handy washing machine is located in the garage in the garden. The restful king-size bedroom is also on this level, as is the inviting bathroom, where you can enjoy a long soak in the bath or a quick spritz under the shower.
