About this house rental

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 two 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.

A few complementary essentials (depending on the season) are provided to ease your arrival as well as honey from the resident hives when available.

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 easy 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!

Host very friendly, helpful, caring and informative but not at all intrusive. On site if needed.If you're after a quiet relaxing garden nature retreat just book.Little lodge has a cosy comfortable spacious feel.You can park alongside.Well equipped with extra little touches and a generous welcome basket. The grounds are beautiful with trees and shrubs, lots of different birds during the day and owls at night. Owners dogs and those in the other lodge sharing the grounds were friendly as well as ponies in the field at the back. Watching the sunset across fields on private rear terrace was special.Huge sunken fire pit is novel.Even though the weather was very wet it was a pleasure being there.The fields and woodland alongside make for a lovely peaceful walk.Great central location, quiet roads to explore in all directions.Would totally recommend and love to go again

We absolutely loved our week in the walled garden. So peaceful surrounded by nothing but the joyful noises of nature, a few horses, and a beautiful, very well kept garden. Everything was perfect and we cannot recommend the barn conversion enough.We were looking for something a little different for a week in the summer; something quirky, something a little off the grid and I can honestly say, this was all we had hoped and more.

The place is a lovey cosy spot that’s great for a retreat- especially with dogs. Theres plenty of space for them to run around even though it’s a 2 person property as well as lots of local walks. Leslie was a great host - and provided lots of local recommendations for eating and walking.

A brilliant six day stay. Great place for us and our dog to relax and unwind. Perfect and secure grounds for our dog to play. Clean premises at a great location. Our host, Lesley, was more than helpful in every aspect including going out of her way to tell us the best places to visit. Could not be happier. Oh, and the fire pit was amazing and one of the highlights of a brilliant visit.

My partner and I stayed for a week at Lesley's property and we had such a lovely time. The conversion is beautiful and the grounds are enormous. There are horses in the field next door and so much nature all around. Our dog thoroughly enjoyed his garden for the week! The log fire makes the place so cosy at night, we were very warm! Lesley was very attentive and sorted us out with pre prepared meals from her restaurant which were delicious! Her dogs are very friendly and would come to visit us daily to say hello. Lesley knows all the good walking routes and sites to see and made us feel really looked after. All in all this was five star place to stay with good access to beaches and walks in north and south Pembs within a 30 minute drive. Fab!

We had the most wonderful stay at Lesley’s property, we had a lovely warm welcome and nothing was too much trouble for our host! The property was spacious but also felt cosy at the same time with stunning sunset views to the back. Our dog had a great time exploring the grounds with the other dogs too! The barn was well equipped and spotlessly clean when we arrived! The fire pit was great for al fresco dining too! Thank you for a lovely stay Lesley!

This place was perfect for what we were after. Countryside, walks and wine in the garden. The place was very private with a lovely firepit to enjoy. Everything was very clean and the hosts were super helpful and were great at answering our questions. Definitely would recommend!
