A unique home consisting of a cottage and cow shed from the early 18th century and two Pembrokeshire stone barns from the early to mid-19th century, linked together by a central lounge with floor to ceiling glass walls on two sides and a grass covered roof.
Amazing location, with beautiful sunsets, overlooking and with access to private nature reserve containing two lakes and a meadow with wetland, surrounded by countryside.
Rural and very private – the property is accessed down a gated private tree-lined driveway of roughly a fifth of a mile. Set in a few acres of fenced, landscaped and wooded gardens and nature reserve, there is plenty of room for children to play. There are neighbours – far enough away not to disturb you, yet close enough to be of assistance should it be required.
Caution: Whilst the cottage is fenced off from the nature reserve, lakes and wetland, the lakes and wetland each being about 100 yards from the cottage, guests should always supervise their children when they are in the nature reserve or meadow, particularly where the children are young or unable to swim.
Lower Lochturffin has its own unique and specially compiled 100-page pictorial user guidebook, featuring the history and meaning of the name of the cottage, the amenities the cottage has to offer and a personal review by the family owners of the many nearby local beaches, places to eat, picnic sites, gardens to visit and places for guests to visit on their way home.
Eat out on the patio, with its sun loungers and barbecue, with views to the nature reserve, or have a picnic in the meadow or at some of the other picnic spots suggested in the user guide. We have a picnic backpack for your use.
Under floor central heating - every room with its' own thermostatic control and an oil burning stove in the lounge.
We place a strong emphasis on cleanliness, with the housekeeper having received many compliments in the visitors' comment book for the cottage being spotless.
Dogs are very welcome - the immediate and greater property is fenced, so plenty of room to roam. And some great nearby beaches to run on. Feeding bowls and towels provided.
In season, spot butterflies in the meadow and nature reserve.
With our many nesting sites, bird watch from the cottage or nature reserve. See if you can spot the buzzards that nest in the trees flanking the driveway. The world famous Skomer Island nature reserve, renowned for its large breeding seabird population is roughly a 50 minute drive from the cottage. The departure point for the RSPB reserve, Ramsey Island, is 10 miles away, about a 25 minute drive.
Use our tree guide to identify the more than 120 native trees in the woodland, garden and meadow. Hundreds of native bulbs have been planted.
Outdoor games and activities - we have a badminton net and rackets, croquet, boules, “corn hole”, two beach chairs, a beach tent, buckets and spades and some fishing nets.
The cottage has at least 17 Pembrokeshire walking guides, including ones for easy access walks, maps of all beaches in Pembrokeshire with dog restrictions, four different Ordnance survey maps and a cycling route map.
The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is a 2.3 mile drive away at its closest point from the cottage.
There are at least 17 beaches within a 13.3 mile radius of the cottage, which is well situated for beaches to the north, south and west.
