Love the Pembrokeshire outdoor lifestyle. Enjoy travelling to see new locations and meet people, cooking fresh produce, sports and horses are a passion too.
We think that we know Pembrokeshire inside out and would be very happy to pass on any information, however you would rather discover the area peacefully for yourselves then you won't be disturbed. The main farmhouse, where we live is about 100m away at the bottom of the farmyard, there many stone buildings but only Stable Cottage has been converted into guest accommodation.
New for this year is a romantic boutique retreat self contained Shepherds Hut tucked away in the top of the orchard, B&B is sometimes available in the farmhouse, guests use a front drive. Please enquire if you are a larger group.
Sally Kinnear purchased this cottage in 2001
We just love the location, its rural but so well placed to access the whole area.
After moving to Cardeeth we did up the farmhouse, Jim specialises in renovating and developing stone properties. The pretty stone barn at the top of the farm was perfect for converting into cottage. It was lovingly worked on and completed in 2003.
This is a very scenic area. Walk to Carew, look in the castle & mill. Carew Inn does a great pub meal has live music and outside bbq's & a roaring fires in winter. Home made cakes with a cuppa at Juju's French Mill tea rooms are a must. The river estuary is full of wildlife, great for kayaking or paddle boards. Visit Pembroke where King Henry VII was born, Manorbier castle overlooking the beach, many more.
There are many events on. Films, plays & shows in The Torch Theatre
Lawrenny Arms, food by the river, Quay rooms in Lawrenny for lunches & teas, The famous Cresselly Arms, Cresswell Quay by the river. Tenby & Saundersfoot have award wining beaches, restaurants, pubs and cafes. Narberth has lovely independent shops and cafe culture.
Known across the world for its legendary coastal scenery and protected by Britain’s only coastal National Park, Pembrokeshire is the perfect holiday destination. Golden sands backed by towering cliffs teeming with wildlife that are just as beautiful in summer was they are in winter. There is a huge choice of award winning golden sandy beaches to visit, the Stable Cottage in a central spot to reach so many of them. Head west to Barafundle again recently voted top 10 in the World, Freshwater West holds surf championships and always worth a visit, Cafe Mor is there through the summer (fab local 'street food'). Manorbier, Tenby and Saundersfoot are amongst the Blue flag awards winners and so many more magical spots to discover in between. There are many castles. Walk to Carew, an C11th Norman castle. Visit Pembroke where King Henry VII was born, Manorbier castle overlooking the beach, Llawhaden on the 'Landsker' line and many more. There are many events on in the county. Films, plays and shows at The Torch Theatre, Milford Haven. Festivals like Tenby Blues, The Really Wild Festival in St Davids, Big Retreat Wales in Lawrenny. Pembrokeshire County Show, Easter Monday Point-to-Point horse races in Lydstep, Martletwy Agricultural Show. Iron Man Wales and The Long Course Weekend have made this a mecca for triathlon lovers, we are on the bike route and have taken part in both. This is a brilliant base to go training from. Being a rural county there is great local produce available in local farm shops and farmer's markets. Tourist attractions like Heatherton Country Park, Oakwood Theme Park has the biggest wooden roller coaster in Europe, Manor House also known as Annas' Welsh Zoo, doing amazing things for saving the Black Rhino and Sumatran Tigres. Carew Karting, fast and furious.
Tenby and Saundersfoot have award wining restaurants, pubs and cafes.
A day trip to St Davids, the smallest city in Europe. Solva and Porthgain near there too. Skomer Island is a natural paradise

*Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage. The children loved coasteering, meeting Magic the pony and Molly the Jack Russell. We will definately be back. The Smilie Family, Winchcombe
* Thank you Jim, Sally & Boys for such a warm welcome. We'll miss those breakfasts in the farmhouse. See you soon, All at Making Movies (on location for the filming of Robin Hood at Freshwater West!)
We were visiting elderly relatives in the area and Stable Cottage was an ideal place for a short break. The owners were very friendly and we had a great time. There is lots to see in the local region and we found a pub (the Carew Inn) that provided both deecent food and very good cask beer.
A lovely stay in a beautiful cottage, located in a Farm setting with lovely old buildings. Lovely walks around the Mill Pond and Carew Castle close by. A great place to stay whilst exploring the nearby towns of Tenby and Saundersfoot, close to Pembroke Castle, which is a must see. Overall we had a fantastic time and Sally and Jim were really lovely. Thank you both, we will be back again!!!

Thank you Jim and Sally for a fabulous week. We were so relaxed from the moment we arrived and had to drag ourselves away at the end of the week! The cottage was beautiful, very warm, clean and cosy. Eddie's favourite things were the garden to play football and walking to Carew Castle; Jem's were the chickens and the cottage!
The weather was very 'Welsh' all week but it didn't matter a jot. So much to do, we have only just scratched the surface of places to visit. We are already planning when we can come back - the Blue Lagoon at sunrise is a definite for our next visit! We had BIG holiday blues when we came home. Thank you for the lovely eggs - a result of which is that we now have 3 chickens!! Look forward to seeing you again :-)
Had a great week at Stable cottage, which is cosy, well equipped and in a great location to explore the beautiful Pembrokeshire coastline. Highlights were Marloes Sands, a stroll through stunning Tenby and a slice of cake at the Quayside at Lawrenny. Sally & Jim were warm & friendly hosts and our 1year old enjoyed meeting Mollie, Magic and the chickens! We'll be back!
We have just spent a wonderful week at Jim and Sally's holiday cottage situated beside their farm. Looking out of the window in the morning and seeing the Welsh Black Cattle and Magic, the horse in the field started each day for us. The farm is well situated for touring all areas of South Wales and Carew Castle with the Tidal Mill is a must visit when the tide is coming in.
A wonderful farm to "chill out" on. Mollie the Jack Russell added to the attraction, visiting us whenever we came back.
Thanks Sally and Jim for a brilliant week and good luck Jim in The Ironman race.
We loved staying at beautiful Stable Cottage which was relaxing,peaceful and cosy and are we already planning a return visit. It is really well placed for all the wonderful beaches and attractions all just a few minutes away.We recommend a short walk to the beautiful Carew Castle and Tidal Mill. We sat and watched the sunset whilst crabbing off the causeway at the Mill, a favourite with our children. We enjoyed a walk from Stackpole Quay to the fabulous Bosherston Lilly Ponds and the children enjoyed the surf at Freshwater West. Barafundle Beach is stunning too-pack a picnic and stay as long as you can. The seal safari around Caldey Island and mackerel fishing in Amroth Bay were fun.....there is so much to do here!
Importantly though are the incredibly welcoming and friendly owners Jim and Sally who made our stay especially enjoyable. Lovely people! We highly recommend a stay in Stable Cottage.
