Trehilyn Farmhouse, a large country farmhouse ideal for get-togethers on the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, West Wales
Ffermdy Trehilyn farmhouse is a beautifully conserved authentic early Welsh farmhouse on the Pembrokeshire coast near Strumble Head lighthouse. Famously restored by owner Griff Rhys Jones and family, the restoration of Trehilyn was the subject of two BBC TV series and set the standard for the best vernacular conservation in Wales.
This property is perfect for a family get-together where there are two groups that want to be together as the house has two distinct wings - you pay one price with any number up to 9 staying, with five bedrooms, four bathrooms and four receptions. Ffermdy is one of the group of cottages on the estate exclusively available via Under the Thatch if you have a larger group.
If your group is smaller then you may book Trehilyn Uchaf to sleep 5 or Trehilyn Isaf to sleep 4. When the entire farmhouse is booked we open the otherwise sound-insulated double internal doors, making it one house with one large kitchen and plenty of receptions, bathrooms, and bedrooms.
You'll enjoy an authentic restoration undertaken with sustainability in mind and seventy acres of farmland with fine sea views. The Observer named Trehilyn in their Top 15 Green Places to Stay in the UK (No.7) and the Irish Times reviewer love it too, and Country Life name it as Best in Wales.
The restoration of this vernacular Pembrokeshire farm was the subject of the BBC TV series 'A Pembrokeshire Farm'. Expect a genuinely stylish, quality interior with real attention to detail.
