  • "We really enjoyed our stay at The Old Dairy."

    A beautifully scenic location with a relaxing hot tub in the garden. Llys y Fran reservoir is not too far away. We also visited the local milk farm and had fresh milk everyday! We also drove along the coast and were met with mesmerising views out to sea. There is so much more to visit in the area so The Old Dairy is a perfect location for a countryside stay. We will definitely be returning to stay in the future. This location is dog friendly also and our dog Scooby really settled in and felt at home. Thank you for accommodating us, I will definitely be recommending you to my friends and family.

  • "The old dairy is a fabulous place to stay, it is worth 5 plus stars as the dairy is immaculate both inside and out and has everything you could possibly need for your stay."

    We met Mark the owner who kindly gave us a run down of what was there to use and inside is a detailed welcome pack of things to do plus all the facilities inside at your disposal. The dairy is quite rural and peaceful which we loved and set in a lovely location and not far from the many places you can visit. One feature we loved after a hectic day out and about is the "hot tub" this just adds to the stay and was so refreshing. I would highly recommend staying here and we look forward to a return sometime soon hopefully. Stewart & Michelle

  • "Had a wonderful stay in the old dairy."

    After arriving early was greeted by the owner mark who was more than welcoming and allowed me to enter earlier than advertised. The cottage was amazing and very clean. The attention to detail was perfect. We had an amazing welcome pack containing milk eggs fresh from a local dairy farm,plus cookies and other treats. The beds were comfy. The kitchen had everything you needed. We have a large dog who enjoyed the very secure garden. The hot tub was amazing with lovely views to watch the sun go down. Once again an amazing property which has had great pride taken on it. Would definitely recommend to stay. Every thing you need is only a short drive away ie supermarkets and beaches which there are many to choose from.

  • "We have just got back from a 3 night stay and didn’t want to leave!"

    The views from the property were stunning. The home was incredibly well equipped. Both the cottage and garden were immaculately clean and tidy. The hosts were very friendly and ever so helpful! We were made to feel very welcome and instantly felt comfortable and relaxed! The welcome basket was delicious, such a lovely thing to offer. The info pack was informative and we found some great ideas for days out, close by. Having the separate utility room was useful with a young family and the Hot Tub was a perfect addition in the glorious weather we lucked out with! We will 100% be booking again!

    Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback, so glad you enjoyed your short break with us and all the family had such a great time. We will certainly look forward to seeing you all again. Best wishes Mark & Alison Property Owner

  • "We had a marvellous 4 night stay at the Old Dairy."

    It is a gorgeous little property in an ideal location for getting out and exploring the many gems that the area has to offer. The owners Mark and Alison were lovely and couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful during our break (Alison's homemade welsh cakes and cookies in the welcome basket were a particular delight!). The cottage itself is absolutely spotless and has everything you could need for a relaxing break including the (very clean) hot tub that was ideal for winding down long days of sightseeing. We made some special family memories at the Old Dairy and all agreed that we can't wait to go back again!

  • "We were very happy with the cottage which was very clean and comfortable."

    The supply of a welcome pack was much appreciated, especially the local milk! The house was very well equipped. A very minor suggestion would be the supply of a bread bin. I kept forgetting which cupboard I'd put the bread/cake etc in! Altogether it was just a lovely spot to stay - comfortable, relaxing and beautiful surroundings. Absolutely ideal for cycling!

    Mark & Alison are great hosts, very friendly and helpful. The location is actually very useful; 30-40 mins to N, W and S beaches and things to do and sitting in the jacuzzi after a day out, looking over the fab view and the very clear stars was brilliant. Local pub, milk were great. Dog friendly. Thoroughly recommend.

    Hosts went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our holiday. Really lovely views from the enclosed garden & hot tub. It's at the top of the valley so can be breezy so take a hat if you need a bit of shade like me. A couple of miles from the beautiful Llys-y-fran Reservoir with lots of activities and great food in the cafe. Enjoyed renting the electric bikes even in the pouring rain! Sykes sent me a lot of info saying to take tea towels, oven gloves, bin bags and lots of other things, but this was unnecessary as everything was provided. In fact hosts had generously provided a welcome basket including local milk, biscuits, Welsh cakes, marmalade & tea and coffee. Highly recommended!

    A real gem out in the middle of the beautiful Welsh countryside. The views are stunning, especially from the hot tub as the sun is going down! Everywhere is easy to get to from this central hub. The owners are lovely. Nothing is too much trouble but at the same time they won't keep bugging you even though they're right next door . Places like this are the reason I don't go abroad anymore. We have so much to offer in the UK. I would definitely recommend the cottage to anyone who wants somewhere quiet and comfortable with superb facilities to hand.

    It is well placed if you are happy to travel 30ish minutes to the coast, and gives you the opportunity to explore a wider range of coastline than just placing yourself in one place, being equidistant in travel time from both St Davids and Tenby. The cottage itself is kitted out to a high standard, everything had been thought of and we had no complaints whatsoever. We were greeted by the host, who was very friendly and made us feel very welcome with suggestions of things to do in the local area, however he was not intrusive in the slightest. I would not hesitate to return, and would recommend The Old Dairy if you want a break from daily life and a real treat.

Enjoying uninterrupted rural views and vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, this holiday home is idyllic for a small family or friends of four.

You can leave your vehicle in the private parking space before discovering the lime green home, which is surrounded by a large, enclosed garden.

Step inside to find the spacious living/dining room, where you can look forward to warming up by the electric fire with a hot chocolate as the TV does the entertaining.

Dine together at the table to tuck-into delectable meals and on rainy days why not play with a pack of cards for some family fun.

Moving through the property, locate the kitchen, here the chef of the group can rustle up tasty dishes courtesy of the electric oven and hob.

After a day rambling the Pembrokeshire countryside, relax your muscles in the ground floor bathroom with a soak in the tub and you can keep your towel toasty on the heated rail.

When sleeps calls, there is a mezzanine twin bedroom and a ground floor double with an en-suite shower to choose between.

Awaken with a cup of tea on the large lawn to relish the morning sunshine and why not take advantage of the peaceful setting to read a good book?

Get better acquainted with your surroundings and enjoy a trek with a llama at Pembrokeshire Llamas or history buffs can tour the 19th century Scolton Manor, home to a quirky museum.

Visit the colourful town of Narbeth, lined with Edwardian and Georgian buildings and home to castle ruins, an expansive golf course and a cluster of restaurants.

Head into the county town of Narberth to marvel at contemporary art at The Creative Café, stumble upon the Priory for a piece of history and view iconic machinery at the Welsh Spitfire Museum.
