At May Cottage, you’ll be in the heart of the countryside but within easy reach of the city of St Davids and spectacular Pembrokeshire coast.

The holiday home sits on Hendre Farm, a paradise for you and your four-legged friends thanks to the space to roam. Pull on your wellies and explore the farm trails.

The land at Hendre is still used for crops and occasional animal grazing. The owners have produced many walks around the farm for those who don’t mind sharing with the cows!

Wildlife such as foxes, badgers and kestrels are plentiful. Plus, you may even see the farm’s resident barn owl or be lucky enough to spot some rare marsh harriers, which also nest on the farm. One of the small lakes has been stocked with rainbow trout, and you’re welcome to bring your own fishing tackle and try to catch your supper.

Locally, there are fantastic beaches at Newgale and Whitesands, where tuition is available for watersports such as surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing. Other activities nearby include coasteering, golf, horse-riding, cycling and, of course, coastal walks.

Pembrokeshire is also a must-visit destination if you have an interest in astronomy or astrophotography. The county has eight Dark Sky Discovery Sites, including Newgale beach and Garn Fawr National Trust car park. Hendre itself also has very dark skies!

Outside

Swim spa

Situated in the farm grounds, you can use the swim spa as a mini-swimming pool by swim-training against the jets. Or, if you’re more interested in taking it easy, use it as a six-person hot tub. The water temperature is kept at 35 degrees, so it’s comfortable to use anytime of the year. (Please note: three days’ notice is required to use the swim spa.)

Fishing lake

One of the small lakes on Hendre has been stocked with rainbow trout. You’re welcome to bring your own fishing tackle and try to catch your supper.

Garden

There’s an enclosed back garden.

Parking

You’ll find plenty of parking for cars, boats and bicycles. But please note, there is no electric vehicle charging at this property.

Barbecue and pizza oven
