Lee March 2024

“Fantastic wkend, great location and dog walks.”

The hurdle is a must stay, just to experience the hut and the way you have to adjust to live in it

“We had a beautiful stay and enjoyed our time away, the only thing we felt was the the cleanliness of the floor could have been a bit better, as there was dog hair when we arrived, and there was no welcoming when we arrived.”

Other than that, we had a lovely time.

- Josh, February 2024

“Disappointed with the presentation on arriving.”

Most holiday lets have a little welcome vase of flowers, or small pack of bisc, or scone and jam and leaflets on surrounding areas. In other words - we expected what you see on the advertising pics! Inside was generally grubby - microwave door needed cleaning, wall hangings full of dust. There was nothing welcoming……… The bed was TINY and we’re 10st and 8st respectively. The worst was a smoke alarm fitted over the bed which had a light flashing in our faces every 30secs. Didn’t get a wink of sleep, left next morning.

NOTHING at all was mentioned about dust, Tiny bed, no flowers etc etc. So I leave it to you to decide. I guess the positive is that they managed to drive home with out falling to sleep at the wheel seeing as they did not have a wink of sleep. Property Owner

“Excellent value for short stay self catering accommodation in a popular area of Pembrokeshire.”

Only one thing to suggest, the kettle on the hob took ages to boil, so an electric kettle would make all the difference. If we come again we will bring an electric kettle

“Lovely place, nice to walk around the fields, could have done with new outside seating,”

“This hut is honestly one of a kind!”

Everything about it is just beautiful, the look, the views, the little (very friendly) Alpaca’s that are only a few metres from the hut and the people in the village! The local pub, The Huntsman, is such a lovely place to socialise and eat. They also have darts and a pool table so there is plenty to do of an evening. The hut is 1 of 2 and there are some cottages on the property also, but plenty of parking and evening a small park area with swings and a slide for younger ones! The property is kept immaculate and nothing is too much trouble. The facilities in with hut are spot on! The shower is decent and the bathroom is a really fair size considering you are in a small space! The hut was very clean inside and out. This was the 2nd time we stayed at this hut and we will be back again in the future.

“Listing indicated Wi-Fi was available.”

This was not the case. Bed was dirty and had either fleas or ticks in it. Owner agreed to a refund but subsequently denied he had said that. Avoid at all costs.

“The Shepherds Hut was very lovely, cosy and clean!”

We couldn’t quite believe how many facilities the hut had, and you had really thought of every little thing from towels to sugar! The Llamas outside were lovely, friendly, clearly happy and very well behaved, it was so nice to see them every morning when we woke up, something we don’t see everyday! The whole site was clean and tidy and although there was lots of cottages that can be stayed in, we felt that at all times we had great privacy! As for surrounding areas, the local pub - The Huntsman Inn - was absolutely fantastic! Everyone was very welcoming, especially Zoe the manager. And being less than a couple minutes walk up the road made a nice night cap an easy task! There was tons of things to do in short distance from the hut including: wildlife parks, activity centres, castles, places to eat, super markets, take- aways and much much more!!

“Lovely place to stay, Owen is very welcoming, as is his gorgeous dog, George.”

The shepherd's huts are beautiful, and have all you could need, without being overcrowded. We're definitely planning a return visit sometime.

- Teresa, September 2022
Melanie August 2022

“Had a lovely peaceful 2 night stay with the dog, lovely little huts, clean but needs to be cleaned under the beds, when you pull the drawers out it not very clean to look at and the windows need cleaning but other than that everything else was lovely.”

A lovely little dog friendly pub around the corner.

- Melanie, August 2022

“Amazing”

Donna July 2022

“Lovely, little shepherd's hut with everything you need and a bonus to wake up to alpacas outside the window every morning.”

Great location; peaceful and quiet with pleasant walks close by.

Nathan August 2021

“We had a delightful stay here at the Shepherds Hut, the alpacas were wonderful to wake up to every morning of our stay.”

The owner was welcoming and all the facilities made us feel at home. Lots to do within Pembrokeshire and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We will be recommending to our families and friends and hope to return in the future. Thank you again!!

“Lovely tranquil location.”

Everything we expected for a peaceful and relaxing holiday.

- Elaine, June 2021
Graeme May 2021

“Caravan was nice and cosy overlooking fields with Alpacas in.”

Was meant too be a 2 berth but I found that it was just about big enough for myself and luggage. Site is a bit remote but Neyland (which has a really nice Marina) is only about 2 miles away and is within easy reach of both Milford Haven & Haverfordwest. The owner of the site (Owen I think his name is) was very friendly and answered any questions I asked of the area. It's a pity the weather was unpredictable. All in all it was a pleasant mini break.

- Graeme, May 2021
Deborah April 2021

“We stayed in The Hurdle shepherd's hut.”

This is a beautiful little hut, compact but it has everything you need, a comfortable double bed, a kitchen with a microwave a hob and a fridge, and an en suite! Outside sitting area and we had use of the onsite BBQ. Waking up to a herd of beautiful alpacas just outside your window is a treat. We brought our nervous little dog and even she loved it, we hardly saw anyone, so peaceful. We will be coming back.

- Deborah, April 2021
Joan August 2020

“Fantastic time !”

- Joan, August 2020
Andy March 2020

“The overall experience was brilliant and such a great place to stay.”

The only downside was the lack of interaction with site owners and lack of info on places to visit. But all in all, great break.

Church View Cottages

Church View Cottages – – Central to the impressive rolling Pembrokeshire Countryside is the quaint historic village of Rosemarket where you will find a beautiful set of traditional cottages bursting with character, in an excellent location for exploring the delights of Pembrokeshire. Perfectly suited for the lone traveller, couples and families and mixed groups for family get togethers, holidays or short braeks. These Welsh stone barns have been lovingly converted by their owner to provide well sized rooms and modern facilities, whilst retaining their classic charm and period features such as wood burning stoves for a cosy night in, wood flooring and exposed beams. Additional accommodation has recently been added with two self-contained traditional Shepherd Huts and a Timber Lodge. Rosemarket is home to a village pub serving local ales and produce and a 9 hole golf course. The village is steeped in history with a Grade 2 listed limestone Church adjacent to the Cottages, a medieval Dovecote and an Iron Age settlement “The Rosemarket Rings” lying within the grounds of Church View. The cottages are situated on the owners smallholding, which is home to chickens, ducks, geese, and even a train of alpacas! Delicious honey produced by the Church View bees can be obtained along with an extensive variety of homegrown vegetables (when is season) all grown on site. If you do manage to venture away from the charms of Church View, there is access to the ‘Brunel cycle and walking path’ directly from the property and the world famous Pembrokeshire Coastal Path is a mere 4 miles away at Llanstadwell. 10 minutes drive is the Historic harbour town of Milford Haven, “one of the finest natural waterways” in the words of Lord Nelson. Around the recently redeveloped harbour you can enjoy a coffee or delicious meal in one of the many eateries or browse the wonderful craft shops. Travelling west past the Town of Milford Haven, you can discover the “picture postcard” coves and cliffs of Sandy Haven, Dale and Marloes Sands. Be sure to take a boat trip to Skomer Island to spot the abundance of seals, puffins and over 22,000 bird species. Pembroke is approximately 10 minutes away where the renowned Pembroke Castle can be found, one of the many ancient castles and fortresses that can be found in Pembrokeshire, often known as the County of Castles.
