  • "We had a fabulous stay at The Barn at Waunlippa."

    It was a lovely relaxing and cosy stay, cottage was great and grounds are beautiful, and I don’t think the online pictures do the place justice. A great base for exploring Pembrokeshire. Patrick and Orsola were great hosts. Very welcoming and gave us some good tips on local walks (after we got a little muddy on our first day). The dogs had a great time too - still exhausted even though we returned 2 days ago - after enjoying the amazing beaches! When we return to Pembrokeshire we will definitely stay here again!

  • "Beautiful accommodation and lovely grounds."

    The perfect base for a holiday in Pembrokeshire. A cosy barn conversion, perfect for 2, (plus canine companions!) The hosts were great, very welcoming and friendly. They were there if needed, but not obtrusive.....we enjoyed our little chats beside the lovely pond each day.. Totally recommend the accommodation, hosts and gorgeous outdoor space.

  • "This was our wedding anniversary break for a week & we weren’t disappointed with the Barn at Waunlippa."

    The garden it self was stunning with a pond in the middle, a stream running through the far end. A lovely walk around the perimeter with a nature area for wildlife in the middle. The lovely sound of birds & farm animals during the day & occasionally during the night with you get use too. The barn itself was absolutely cosy, a great set up with the kitchen & lounge in one area, bathroom & then a very comfortable bedroom. The dogs struggled with the hard flooring, a bit slippy for their liking but we just put towels down for them to walk on. I actually couldn’t fault anything about this place because we went for a relaxing holiday & if that’s what you’re looking for then I would highly recommend it. Our 3 dogs are getting on now but even they loved the garden area. Finally Patrick & his wife were perfect hosts. You couldnt ask for better. The hand over & handing back went smoothly & the chats during the stay were nice. Perfect

    Despite the very rainy weather, our break was relaxing and just what was needed. Orsola is a fantastic host and couldn’t be more welcoming. We would thoroughly recommend booking some dinners in with Orsola - a wonderful treat! The hot tub was a lovely treat which made up for the bad weather! The fire kept the barn very warm and cosy and made our stay really special. The grounds are beautiful and we would love to come back in the summer months to enjoy these in the drier weather. Totally recommend for a relaxing getaway.

    It is well placed for the coast and attractions, but with enough outside space to chill out in if you just need to rest and recharge.

    My Husband and I booked for our honeymoon & took our doggo, Alfie too. The scenery surrounding The Barn is absolutely breathtaking. Our dog absolutely loved his daily walks around the river & field, literally a step outside the gate. The Barn is enclosed, however I’m sure a little dog could get out if they wanted to. Due to this, our host went out of his way to find something to put infront to close such a big gap at the bottom. Both Patrick and Orsola couldn’t do enough for us. We had an afternoon tea from Orsola and it was absolutely beautiful. The Barn was extremely cosy and clean, we felt right at home. The hot tub and log burner are such fab extras, we were in our element and genuinely had that relaxing/luxury feeling. We were gutted to leave & will definitely return. Surrounding areas of The Barn include Narberth, Tenby, Haverfordwest & more. A lot of places in Narberth and Tenby were dog friendly too. Thank you Patrick and Orsola for making our honeymoon so special.

    Great hosts, extremely welcoming. The barn itself is situated within the grounds of the hosts own home and is surrounded by lovely garden, pond, and ducks. I can imagine this being glorious in the summer. There was also a visiting peacock. The barn is extremely comfortable and warm with a lovely log burner and is situated within a fantastic distance to everything we needed. Great space for our dogs as we made use of the outhouses after long walks to allow the dogs to dry off. Although in the middle of the countryside it was a short car journey to everything we needed and places to visit. The beaches are fantastic with or without four legged friends and the small town of Narberth has everything you could wish for. We hope to return to experience this lovely part of the world in the summer months. Highly recommended.

  • "The cottage is lovely."

    Just the right amount of space and facilities for us to really enjoy our stay. We had a lovely welcome from Orsola and Patrick who made us feel very at home. The surroundings are glorious including the pond with the family of ducks who were adorable. The hot tub was a lovely treat. The location is a perfect base for exploring beautiful Pembrokeshire and beyond. It is remote so you will need a car and phone signals are patchy in the area, but we were on holiday; it was great to switch off from that stuff for a while. Highly recommend booking one of Orsola's meals; delicious Italian cooking delivered to your table. We had a very peaceful and relaxing time. We hope to comeback soon!

  • "Extremely nice property, hosts very welcoming."

    Think it was advertised as having wi fi but we could rarely connect and that coupled with lack of mobile coverage made us feel a bit 'cut off Tv could be a bit better quality but the hot tub was a real winner!

  • "The barn is very comfortable, in a great location to reach all of Pembrokeshire and the hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming."

    The hot tub was excellent, and the grounds are lovely. The location is a very quiet little village near Narberth with great access to both the north, south and west coasts of Pembrokeshire. Inside the barn was very clean, comfortable and modern. Thank you for a great break.

    The hot tub was a welcome luxury after a day walking the many trails around the Pembrokeshire coast line and the location of the cottage meant that everything that we wanted to visit was within easy reach.
