Cosy property near lovely beach

We had a great time staying as a family. It was a perfect base for a sunny trip to Whitesands Bay and as a really cosy place (log burner) to come back to after visiting the Puffins on a rainy afternoon on Skomer Island. All as described and owner really responsive. Hope to return.

We very much enjoyed our 4 night break at Swallows Nest over Christmas. The tree and festive touches made it even more beautiful, the cottage provided everything and more to ensure the most comfortable stay. The underfloor heating kept the cottage lovely and warm, so we didn’t feel the need to light the wood burner but there was kindling and a basket of logs provided if you wished to. We will definitely be returning, as the cottage is so lovely and it’s location is great for us to explore more of Pembrokeshire.

Perfect escape

I was escaping from fireworks with a friend and my dog and we didn’t hear any bangs or see any flashes! The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped and Ann and Ben were very accessible. Personally I think they could ease up on the COVID adapted rules but I suppose everyone has different feelings about that. Although remote it’s less than 10 minutes’ drive to Whitesands beach and St David’s airfield was also a great place to walk.

Quiet, comfortable get away from it all holiday

Converted barn which has been done very nicely. We took our 2 small dogs and there is plenty of walking paths across fields - dogs on leads. Probably 4 miles from the coast. Very quiet, beautiful night sky with little light pollution. A comfortable stay in a convenient location if you don't mind a long walk to the beach, or are happy to drive.

Swallow’s Nest was ideal for our requirements. We stayed for 3 weeks - perfect location to get to beaches, St David’s and beyond. We were really fortunate to get such lovely weather. Thank you Ben & Anne xx

Second visit even better

We had good memories of our stay here last year and we were not disappointed this year. It was really peaceful and relaxing, a pleasure to stay in. Also a really good place from which to explore the area, get to the sea etc and so nice to get back to.

July 2021 stay

Overall the property is very spacious with a well equipped kitchen, an unexpected drying room and plenty of outside garden space. The quiet location is a short drive from St Davids means it is easy to enjoy all that the city has to offer, the beautiful local beaches such as Whitesands and the coastal path. The only minor negative was that due to the ages of the children, we found that as a result of the the second bedroom being on a mezzanine level directly off the lounge we were unable to use the lounge as much as we would have liked in the evening.

Just another diamond day in Pembrokeshire.

We really liked Swallows Nest. It is a very well done conversion ( in our opinion!) and a pleasure to stay in. You can walk directly from it to the coast and coast path and we picked loads of blackerries! Pretty easy to get to and from St Davids and Solva. We had a great week and regretted having to leave.

Very well converted and welcoming property. Despite wet and windy weather we enjoyed returning to Swallows Nest after full days out to light the wood burner and enjoy a glass of wine.

Wonderful cottage in perfect location

Very comfortable and well-equipped cottage, in a perfect location a few minutes' drive from St David's and several fantastic beaches. We went sea kayaking, surfing and coasteering, jumped 30ft off the side of a quarry into the sea, took a boat trip to see puffins and porpoise, and went on loads of beautiful cliff-top walks to isolated little beaches. Beautiful wild flowers, nice cafes and restaurants, very friendly and helpful owners, perfect holiday. Just be aware that the only shower and bath in the cottage are in the ensuite of the double bedroom, which might not be ideal for some groups. Shower is great. Wifi mostly good with occasional problems for an hour or two. Back garden not fully enclosed so dog can get round to the front - not ideal, and hopefully owners will sort that out, but it's a quiet place so wasn't a big problem for us. All in all, we had a brilliant time. Would thoroughly recommend.
