Granar Trehilyn

'Top 10 Best New Holiday Cottages in UK' - Observer
'Restoration Triumph' - The Times

This delightful cottage has been converted from a grain loft by author / TV presenter Griff Rhys Jones and his family on their coastal farm in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. The conservation and restoration of the farm was the subject of the popular BBC TV Series 'A Pembrokeshire Farm'. The estate is exclusively advertised through Under the Thatch, and Granar is generally considered the most luxurious of the collection. Walk to the famous lighthouse on Ynys Meicl where you'll find a whale and dolphin-watching station (2.5 miles), or explore the trails on the estate including a small woodland, some ruins and a small play area for kids. 9 minutes drive (3 miles) to Abermawr beach - one of the most impressive (and yet least visited) in West Wales. Sustainability was at the core of the conservation project here, and you'll find two EV chargers available for electric vehicles. Fly fishing for rainbow trout in two ponds available on site. Catch & release, arrange with estate manager after booking.

Fantastic layout and beautifully designed. A.slightly cramped kitchen space if all rooms used and a simple solution of the microwave repositioned on top of the fridge would enable more counter space. Such friendly staff and an amazing location.

Such a lovely week spent in a stunning area. With lovely walks from the door and or a short drive away on very quiet roads out of season. The accommodation was first class with very comfortable beds. The history of the place and the restoration (part of a BBC programme) was fascinating and help you truly appreciate the setting and the care gone into each project. We had two dogs and they got plenty of space to run off. The honesty shop on site was handy for treats and other important purchases. Trips in to Fishguard and St David’s are a must as well as the lighthouse at Strumble where the coast line is beautiful. Would definitely visit again. All information provided was accurate and made for a smooth transition into our holiday. We would definitely visit again

This is our 2nd time staying at Trehilyn. We absolutely love it here, so peaceful and tranquil. The Granary was superb, comfy beds, well equipt and spacious. The design was amazing every detail had been thought of. We loved having coffee and lunch out on the sunny terrace. We will be back soon!

Beautiful cottage, with the comfiest beds, set in stunning grounds. In a wonderful spot for sightseeing. Visited St David’s, Strumble Head, Newport ( meal at the Golden Lion was fab) but also happy to stay in and get cosy by the log fire. Thank you for a lovely weekend.
