Located on the highly desirable Dale Peninsula in Pembrokeshire, Tŷ Gin (the Gin House, named for the ‘ginnys’ (donkeys) that once lived here) offers huge, open views of the Pembrokeshire countryside. This is the part of Pembrokeshire that everyone wants to be in, and this is a wonderful family-friendly barn. Stay here to be very near many of the best beaches in Wales - Marloes, Musselwick, Broad Haven, Little Haven, and Sandy Haven can all be reached in under 20 minutes, so you can choose a different family-friendly beach every day of your holiday. You’re effectively surrounded by the sea on three sides, and you’ll likely also visit the famous local towns of Tenby and St David’s.
The 1754-built barn and its annexe are privately located in their own garden away from the Georgian country house that they once serviced. It’s a large, comfortable detached property with a lovely garden and country views. The main house sleeps x6 in three bedrooms (each with its own bathroom) and the garden annexe sleeps a further x4 in two rooms which share one shower room (so the property overall accommodates 10 in five rooms, with 4 bathrooms). The annexe is only made available when more than x3 stay.

We stayed at Ty Gin for a long weekend break with a group of nine adults and three dogs celebrating a quiet 60th birthday. It was a very enjoyable and comfortable stay. The main property has many positives. All bedrooms were en-suite, which worked extremely well for a group our size. The house was peaceful, warm, clean, and clearly a good-quality conversion that has been thoughtfully and well appointed throughout. There was convenient parking, including the welcome bonus of an electric vehicle charging point. Storage space in the fridges was generous, and the welcoming bottle of wine, coffee and chocolates on arrival was a really lovely touch. The layout provided plenty of space for socialising without feeling cramped, and the standard of cleanliness and comfort was high. There were only a few minor points to note. The downstairs ensuites do not have an overhead shower, which may be inconvenient for some guests. There were not quite enough dining chairs for nine people to sit around the table together. It would be nice to have tea making facilities in the Bothy for those sleeping in there. Finally, the lane leading to and from the house has a number of potholes, making access quite hazardous, particularly in poor light and for those with low suspension cars. Ty Gin is a warm, spacious, and well-equipped property that we would happily recommend, especially for larger groups looking for a peaceful and comfortable stay.

A great, comfortable and clean location with ample room! Amazing and cosy area and would love to come back again. Perfect for large families or friends.

Tŷ Gin proved a smart choice to celebrate a birthday in murky November. Not your usual cosy holiday home, more a beautiful, spacious , up market cottage that showed meticulous planning and presentation. We did have one dry day and it was great to paddle in nearby Dale. It was a pity that The Griffin was closed. I think that some lobster would have rounded off a lovely visit to Pembrokeshire!

What a fabulous house! Tŷ Gin suited our family perfectly - we were 6 adult, 4 children and there was ample space between the main house and annex for everyone to have a little peace and quiet. Wonderful location with easy access to some incredible beaches. Highly recommend!

A lovely house in a quiet rural setting but not far from beaches and restaurants/pubs. Well maintained and equipped (once found all the cupboards!) and comfortable Nice outside with grass and paving. Thank you.

We had a lovely stay at The Gin House as a family group of seven and our first time visiting Pembrokeshire. The house is large and comfortable with a great communal space in the kitchen and living area but also enough room to spread out, which is fab for those with children and dogs. The addition of The Bothy was especially handy and lovely for part of the group to stay in. Being rural and having a country feel, the house is certainly inkeeping with the Pembrokeshire vibe, although the nearest beaches being only a 10-15minute drive away. We enjoyed our stay and have created some lovely memories.

We had a wonderful few days in lovely Tŷ Gin. The house is beautiful and comfortable and has everything you might need. We had morning breakfasts among birdsong, dinner in the sunshine and later evenings by the fire. We had an excellent day foraging and days of exploring the rolling hills and beaches. Thank you so much for your responsiveness and for a lovely time. Diolch yn fawr iawn. Eleri

Enjoyed a long weekend at The Gin House, the cottage is in a great countryside location with fabulous beaches just a few minutes drive away. The cottage is superb with a large kitchen diner and lounge and the garden was completely enclosed which was great for our dogs.

A beautifully spacious house. Well located for beaches and coastal walks. The St.Anne's Head loop walk takes about 3 hours and is stunning. We loved the Boat trip to Skomer to see the puffins. The kitchen is well equipped and a joy to cook in. The garden is a lovely sun trap with beautiful views. We enjoyed full English breakfasts at the Boat House in Dale, exceptional lunches at Runwayskiln cafe at Marloes and fresh fish from the docks in Milford Haven. A perfect week in beautiful Pembrokeshire. Thank you!

Ty Gin is a wonderful spacious house. The location is perfect. The garden is dog proof. It is fitted to a high standard so very comfortable. We had a great time visiting Skomer, St. David's and the lovely beaches surrounding us.

Spacious, very well equipped, attractive and peaceful property. Having the bothy as an extra separate space was brilliant as we had a young baby with us! We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

We had a lovely stay at the Gin House, secluded enough to feel like we were really getting away and close enough to great walks and towns that we were able to explore. The kitchen was stocked with supplies and it was nice to have games available in the snug as well as a cozy fire place when a storm hit.
