The Old Bread Oven

It’s snug and cosy at this 18th century longhouse with a welcoming wood-burner laid and ready to light. Jill’s house is attached and she’s a mine of local information so do ask. You enter from a cobbled courtyard to the front door; at the side you get your own little garden with bistro table and chairs on the patio and loungers on the lawn.

Inside is an open-plan, light-filled living/dining room with squishy sofas for reading in front of the fire and a table for eating. The galley kitchen is neat, has all the basics you need and a bottle of bubbles waiting in the fridge. Upstairs there’s a sweet bedroom with a Welsh throw and a simple bathroom.

You’re in the village which has a pub, church and tearoom and it’s walking distance to the Lily Ponds so you can have days out without getting in the car. Stackpole is nearby and the inn is an excellent place to eat out. The rugged coastal path calls, Broad Haven beach is close, kayakers and surfers rejoice.
