Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
Luxury and privacy are guaranteed at this unusual farmhouse B&B set in gardens, ten minutes from west Wales beaches and with views to the Preseli hills. Bedrooms, with comfortable sitting areas, are in converted outbuildings – stables, barn, mill and granary – of the Victorian farmhouse. One is in a charming weatherboard cottage with window boxes, picket fence and private terrace. The others, too, have an individual outdoor space and all blend original features – beams, low ceilings – with a contemporary cottage style: light colours, pale oak furniture, Lloyd Loom chairs and brightly patterned rugs, sofas and feature wallpapers. A kitchenette with fridge, microwave and coffee machine means you can be independent, although it would be a shame to miss the splendid Welsh breakfasts offered by Kathryn and Richard Jones. Taken in the farmhouse dining room, amid pretty china, fresh flowers and crisp tablecloths, cooked-to-order dishes highlight Welsh produce and include local smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, buttermilk pancakes as well as the full Welsh with vegetarian option. It makes a great start for tackling the nearby Wales Coast Path.
