The Old Boiler House in the Victorian Walled Garden at Penty Parc, in deep rural Pembrokeshire, has been lovingly converted to a charming retreat for couples who love getting back to nature, peace, solitude, star gazing and friendly dogs!
The barn is built around the remains of an old boiler house within a 3 acre walled garden, with glorious uninterrupted views over open countryside to the Preseli Hills. One whole quadrant of the 3 Acres is for guests' private use, including a fire pit, a decked area, ample parking and access to walks from the door.
The internal fittings are stylish and comfortable with an emphasis on sustainability. Modern insulation techniques and ceiling fans ensure a cool feel during hot days and a log burner provides the opportunity for cosy nights in.
The loft bedroom has a double bed with a pocket sprung mattress and there is also an extra single day bed in the 'Cwtch' with a Tempur mattress, all ensuring a comfortable nights sleep in the silence of the countryside.
The sofa has pull out footrests for lounging to watch TV or listen to music. The kitchen area and bathroom are equipped for your comfort and ease. There are facilities to eat inside or out and lounger chairs and seating for the patio and garden.
The deck and slate patio (just through the gate to the field) give sheltered all day and evening sunshine in the company of birdsong and the rustling of leaves from the row of ancient Hornbeams which mark the boundary.
Also included in the property’s garden is a restored fire pit: perfect for outside dining, sunbathing or star gazing at the spiral arm of the galaxy. With no light pollution and way below the reach of any wind it's a must for any night sky enthusiast as well a very special place to enjoy peace and quiet around a fire. Snuggle up with one of the throws provided, listen to music and gaze at the stars on clear nights.
The decking is the ideal spot for breakfast on sunny mornings where you will almost certainly enjoy a feast of bird song and enjoy watching the resident honey bees foraging in the bee friendly borders.
The owners have three friendly dogs and welcome sociable dogs to stay and roam freely in the garden. There is also a 10 acre enclosed field directly behind the Garden which leads to a further 3.5 acres of wild woodland with a stream: a short walk back up a bridle path gives a super circular walk from your very door. Within a couple of miles are two enormous, dog friendly Country Parks at Scolton Manor and Llys y Fran dam.
Access is via a lane which runs along the intriguingly restored walls of the garden and leads to ample parking at The Old Boiler House built into the North East corners of the 2 feet thick Wall itself.
The Garden is still a working garden providing produce for a long standing, award winning local restaurant owned and run by the owner who lives on site.
A few complementary essentials (depending on the season) are provided to ease your arrival and by prior arrangement we can arrange for 'Dine at Home' meals from the restaurant to be set up in your fridge.
The property is centrally located with easy access to local beaches, the coastal path, Preseli hill walking, a riding stables and two country parks. A little further afield are the beaches, hills, villages and countryside of North & South Pembrokeshire with many coastal, sporting and rural attractions on offer. A visit to Pembroke Castle, birthplace of the Tudors, and The National Botanical Garden of Wales are all within reach.
This property offers the opportunity to escape to peaceful solitude or is a base for exploring this diverse and beautiful county. Whether you select adventurous activities or simply want to get away from it all, the property affords you plenty of choice!
