About this property

NEW Bangeston Barn - 2mins to surf beaches & coastal path, wood fired pizza oven

Bangeston Barn was completely renovated from 2008-2012 and is the perfect location for a gathering of families, couples or friends. Dogs are more than welcome to come and stay too!

Although fully updated with all the latest technology and conveniences, our barn is at heart a traditional Pembrokeshire barn with stone walls.

We fell in love with this area many years ago and stumbled upon Bangeston Farmhouse and its adjoining barn in a state of disrepair. Four years later, after a lot of blood, sweat and tears (and a rather large beard!) we felt we had done it justice - treading a fine line between environmental conversion whilst retaining the historic beauty of Bangeston. This part of Pembrokeshire is a hidden gem combining breath-taking countryside and coastline, but remaining mostly untouched. We are now a family of 5 (including the dog!) with a passion for surfing, kitesurfing, paddle boarding, cycling and gazing at the stars (beer-in-hand) - all of which can be enjoyed in this area. Freshwater West is around a mile away and it's only a short drive further to the beautiful beaches of Barafundle, Broadhaven South, Bosherston, Stackpole Quay and Manobier - these beaches are also dog friendly all year round. There are also many miles of coast path to explore within the National Park - the Pembrokeshire Coast Path being easily accessible from Bangeston. Based in the countryside at the end of an unmade track, our barn is a beautiful, quiet and tranquil retreat after a day's activities. If you like a bit more hustle and bustle, the market town of Pembroke - with its magnificent medieval castle and numerous cafes and shops - is just 15 minutes away.

Bangeston Barn has 2 bedrooms and a mezzanine area sleeping 7 in total. The living room leads to the master bedroom (up 4 steps and with a king size bed) and also to the second bedroom which has a bunk bed - a double on the bottom and a single on top. The mezzanine sleeping area has a double bed and is accessed via a bespoke ladder with handrail. This space has restricted head room.

The family bathroom is on the ground floor with a toilet, washbasin, bath and overhead shower.

There is a hand-fitted well-equipped kitchen, with oak worktops. The kitchen is equipped with an integrated dishwasher, fridge/freezer, gas oven and hob, microwave, coffee making facilities, nutrininja blender and washing machine and hopefully all the utensils you need to enjoy your stay. It leads into an open plan living and dining area which comfortably seats 8. The barn is heated with solar panels, a wood pellet boiler and underfloor heating. There is also a cosy wood burner surrounded by 3 sofas. Entertainment includes a TV with built in DVD, sound system, board games, books, DVDs and a basket of toys for young children.

There is a south facing lawned garden overlooking the ancient woodlands of the Angle Estate, a Weber charcoal BBQ, portable wood fired pizza oven, Slow cooker, large Ninja Air Fryer and various areas outside to eat, drink and enjoy the sunshine at different times of the day. Some garden furniture is also provided.

We have done our best to create a stylish, well equipped and comfortable home, although we really bought it because of its special location near the dunes, surf and sunsets of Freshwater West.

If you like a hike and great food visit the award winning Cafe Mor an old boat/cafe that sells lobster burgers from the carpark at Freshwater West.

Thank you for looking and reading this far!

Perfect Stay at Bangeston Barn
We had a wonderful summer stay at Bangeston Barn. It was the perfect downshift after five nights in London during our kids' first trip to the UK. The beautiful scenery made us feel right at home coming from Seattle, WA, USA. As a fellow DIY-er, I so admire Paul's excellent handiwork in making the barn a truly special vacation rental. We were lucky enough to bump into Paul and his family and I'm sure we could have compared notes and visited all day had time allowed. I joked that the only negative part of our trip is that now we have to buy a woodfire pizza oven when we get home because we enjoyed using Paul's pizza oven so much. The location is splendid--we did quick convenient trips to Freshwater West Beach (visiting the "grave" of Dobby the Elf), the Green Bridge of Wales, St. Govain's Chapel, Stackpole/Barafundle Bay, Pembroke Castle, and West Angle Beach (for multiple tea stops at Wavecrest). My morning run each morning was north through beautiful Bangeston Wood up and out to the Angle Lifeboat Station. And we stopped next door at the produce stand from the Angle Walled Garden for new potatoes and flowers. All aspects of the residence itself are creatively designed and executed. I can only imagine how cozy and wonderful the barn would feel for a winter visit--I noted many entries in the guestbook describing great Christmas stays. We would love to return in the fullness of time. Thank you, Paul!

Amazing rental close to fabulous beaches
We had a great time staying in Paul’s barn conversion. It is such a cute property with everything you could want in a holiday home. So close to so many fun activities - surfing, castles, puffins on Skomer Island - we saw it all! Thank you Paul - we hope to be back! :)

Fabulous place to stay
I absolutely loved the cottage, it was so full of character and charm. It was very peaceful and private and had everything we needed, wished I’d booked a longer break there. I’ll definitely try and return there some time soon.

Ein ganz besonderer Ort
Das Haus ist mit so viel Liebe zum Detail ausgestattet. Man kommt an und fühlt sich zu Hause. Es ist sehr gemütlich und sehr sauber. Es gibt viele Möglichkeiten Kleidung aufzuhängen, im Bad gibt es ausreichend viele Haken für die Handtücher. Die Küche hat wirklich alles was man benötigt und vieles mehr. Wir haben 4 sehr schöne Tage in diesem Haus verbracht. Vielen lieben Dank für alles, Paul.

About the host

Hosted by Paul

Host profile image
We are a family of four (and very old dog) living in Bristol where we spend most weekends mountain biking in Leigh Woods when not visiting Pembrokeshire.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this part of Pembrokeshire after spending many years holidaying here. We stumbled upon Bangeston in a state or disrepair and decided to embark on an eco refit.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy the fantastic beaches, wildlife and the countryside that this area offers and love relaxing, surfing and just being on the beach building sandcastles or exploring rockpools. Many can be deserted even in the height of summer and Freshwater West is world class in all respects. We think we have created a special place with its traditional wobbly walls and old fashioned slate floors but with the comforts of underfloor heating.
