The Farmhouse
Carngowil has been standing here since the 14th century. The thick stone walls and inglenook fireplace in the snug are original — properly ancient. Everything else has been carefully restored: good beds, a kitchen built around a working Aga, and bathrooms that actually work.
There are four bedrooms across two floors (two with en suites), a big sitting room with an open fire, and a snug with a wood-burner that nobody ever wants to leave. Outside, the gardens stretch out in every direction with a children’s play area, climbing frame, outdoor dining, and views to the Preseli Mountains.
The coast path is a short walk from the front door. Goodwick beach is five minutes in the car. St Davids, Tregwynt Mill, and a string of hidden coves are all within half an hour.
For Families
The gardens wrap right around the house — lawns, flower beds, gravel paths, and mature trees. There’s a children’s climbing frame and play area on the flat lawn.
On the south side there’s outdoor dining furniture with views across open farmland to the Preseli Mountains. On a clear evening the sunsets from the garden are amazing.
Barbecue and outdoor games provided. Plenty of space for everyone — you won’t be tripping over each other.

Guest Reviews
★★★★★Probably the best self-catering property in which we have stayed in over 30 years of visiting Pembrokeshire.
★★★★★House and gardens are beautiful and peaceful. Great set up for families. Our kids aged 4 and 7 played all day in the garden.
★★★★★A fantastic location with views all around. The beds were really comfortable, not rock hard unlike most holiday rentals.
★★★★★The overall feel and look of the cottage is sublime. It’s our second time staying and we’ll most definitely be back.
