The sleek, light and spacious Eco Barn stands apart from the neighbouring Courtyard Cottages and sleeps up to 8 guests across 4 bedrooms. It’s the perfect rural retreat for larger families or groups of friends or families or those wanting more of their own space.

The magic of the eco barn comes to life in the light and airy open-plan upstairs living area, with its iconic east-facing circular “rose window”, high wood-panelled ceiling and sociable spaces for relaxation and dining. Floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors leading onto a balcony area are met with corner windows, resulting in stunning panoramic views of the Northern coastline, the rocky volcanic outcrop of Garn Fawr and the Abermawr Valley. The west-facing balcony is an incredible place to take in spectacular sunsets in the evening.

Location: The Pembrokeshire Coast

Deep in the heart of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, Preseli Venture’s eco barn offers a spectacular setting for a memorable adventurous break.

The eco barn is a one-mile walk to the secluded, unspoilt sand-and-shingle beach of Abermawr as well as the Pembrokeshire Coast Path national trail. Both venues offer breathtaking views of the wild North Pembrokeshire coastline, as well as the wild woodland and peaceful countryside surrounding it.Pack your telescopes - this remotely situated accommodation lies in an official Dark Skies area of Wales, meaning it's an incredible spot for stargazing without the glare of light pollution.

The eco barn is situated just outside the village of Mathry, just 5 miles from Fishguard (where you can arrive by train) and 9 miles from the smallest cathedral city in the UK, St David’s, a famous pilgrimage destination for those seeking to explore Welsh history and legend. Preseli Venture is conveniently located on the final stretch of Wales’ well-traversed Coastal Way, an epic 180-mile journey which stretches from the Western tip of the mountainous LLyn Peninsula to the St David’s peninsula.

"Absolute hidden gem! We stayed here for our annual boys’ trip, and it exceeded every expectation. We were blown away by the breathtaking sea views and the peaceful, idyllic setting — it truly feels like a private slice of paradise.

We made amazing memories here and couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind and reconnect". - Keir
