The Old Dairy

About this property

Solva 2 miles. The Old Dairy is a pleasing single-storey cottage near Solva, Pembrokeshire. Set within the spectacular surroundings of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, this pet-friendly abode is well-suited to families and friends boasting a toasty woodburning stove and a stylish open-plan layout. Arrive and make use of the allocated parking for up to three cars before taking in your first glimpse of the traditional stone exterior. A rockery filled with plants and shrubbery adds colour and interest to the setting, while the seating area and barbecue provide a pleasant spot to enjoy the fresh Pembrokeshire air with a morning coffee or an evening meal.

Steps lead up to the entrance, where a welcoming hallway provides handy storage for kicking off walking boots, hanging up jackets, and settling in after the journey. From here, make your way into the heart of the home, an open-plan living space brimming with rustic charm. Wooden flooring runs underfoot while exposed beams overhead add character to the room. After a day exploring the coastline, stretch out on the corner sofa, settle into the armchair with its matching poof, and enjoy a favourite programme on the TV. On cooler evenings, the woodburning stove, set neatly into the wall, creates a lovely focal point as the flames flicker beside artwork adorning the walls.

A sideboard stocked with a selection of books invites guests to curl up with a good read before gathering around the dining table, which seats four, to share meals and holiday plans. The kitchen area sits alongside the living and dining space, allowing everyone to remain part of the conversation while meals are prepared. Whether you're warming pastries in the morning, cooking a hearty supper after a clifftop walk, or letting the dishwasher take care of the clearing up, everything has been thoughtfully arranged for an easy-going stay, with an oven, hob, microwave, and fridge/freezer on hand. When the day draws to a close, choose from two delightful bedrooms.

The king-size bedroom benefits from its own wash basin and built-in wardrobe space, offering a practical place to unpack and settle in. The flexible twin room, which can be arranged as a king-size on request, also features built-in storage and provides a restful setting. Completing the interior is the family bathroom, where a bath with shower over offers the choice of a long soak or a refreshing rinse, while the washer/dryer is ideal for keeping walking gear and holiday outfits ready for the next adventure. For added convenience, a shop and pub can be found just a short drive away. The surrounding area is rich with places to discover.
