6 Bedroom House in Fishguard

Spacious converted rural barn. Sea views, large grounds, family & pet friendly.
Swallow Barn is a home away from home, with everything you need to make your holiday relaxing, fun and memorable. The property was converted by the family in 2002 and since 2016 has been running as a successful holiday let. The family have been involved in holiday letting in this area for over 30 years so we have a team of highly experienced people in place to make sure that the property is maintained to high standards and guests are well looked after so they can enjoy a hassle free holiday. The property is private with landscaped grounds surrounded by pastures, but close enough to walk into the nearby village of Fishguard, the famous Pembrokeshire Coastal Path and local cycle way which is just at the end of the driveway. Although set back down a long driveway, there is some traffic noise from the A40. For dog owners, this is a paradise with a secure garden (for large/medium dogs) at the rear of the Cottage.
You can feel the happy energy of Swallow Barn when you walk through the door. It is a place for celebration and good times! There is plenty of space for everyone, inside and out, so you can be part of the activity or find a peaceful little nook all to yourself. The property is equipped to cater for big groups with a well stocked kitchen, huge farmhouse dining table, and outside areas for lazy lunches and late night dinners. There are plenty of comfy sofas to snuggle into, enough space for a game of outdoor cricket and an outside storage building for your bikes, kayaks, surfboard and other sporty paraphernalia.
There is an adjoining Cottage to the main residence which can be used as part of the main house (via a lockable door) or as separate accommodation with its own front and rear entrances, separate secure garden and parking area.
Swallow Barn is a place of character with lots of quirkiness; an artisan spiral staircase to the mezzanine, a hand mast cast iron balcony in the kitchen, a claw foot roll top bath, a pretty cushioned daybed, an outdoor terrace of local river pebbles, rustic Welsh slate kitchen bench tops, exposed timber beams and local stone interior walls. French windows open out from all the reception rooms onto the garden and the outside wrap around wooden deck with modern lounge furniture is perfect for entertaining, having a BBQ (provided) or sipping sunset cocktails.
The local area has an abundance of things to do. The Cycle Way is just at the end of the driveway and if you prefer to go on foot, it is only a short walk to the famous coastal path. There are surf beaches, pebbly pirate coves, ruined castles, historical sites and almost every type of sport available locally including one of Britains best surf beaches!
The local produce is wonderful! Pick your own mussels from the beaches or head to one of the local pubs to savour the famous Pembrokeshire crab and lobster dishes. Stroll around the local farmers markets at the weekend, grab a gourmet picnic and top notch coffee from the local deli or cook up local Welsh lamb on the BBQ. If high end gourmet dining is on your agenda, there are plenty of fabulous restaurants within driving distance.
During 2024 we have upgraded some of the facilities at the property for the comfort and enjoyment of our guests. There are 2 brand new bathrooms; one in the Cottage area with a fabulous bath and power shower combination and the other in the downstairs cloakroom with power shower. There is also a huge new velvet modular sofa unit in the main living space and 2 new Super King beds (one is a fabulous antique sleigh bed frame) in the 2 larger upstairs Barn bedrooms.
We love Swallow Barn and are so happy to be able to share the experience of staying there with you!

Summary: The code number to get the key was incorrect but luckily the cleaners were still there. It is a lovely barn. Large and suited our large family. My only criticism is that there was only one designated shower.

Summary: Beautiful well equipped property that exceeded our expectations in a lovely part of the country . The information booklet could do with an update , as it seems to have been written during covid times and didnt give the right info regarding recycling .

Summary: We had the BEST time at Swallow Barn; we made amazing memories against a beautiful backdrop. Angaharad is a great communicator and answered all our questions in advance. On arrival, we found someone had turned off the hot water and we called for help. A friendly plumber was with us & everything was sorted within the hour. Rest assured issues are resolved quickly by kind folks! The address didn’t pop up on our GPS, but the postcode gets you to the A road and there's a clear sign so we recommend reading the directions provided in advance. The living room has lovely new velvet sofas but the room can’t be closed; we recommend covering them in case your dogs are tempted! The underfloor heating made the house so cosy. We found some kitchen things we needed in the cottage so check both places! The wifi only struggled when all 12 of us were trying to load things simultaneously. There are deep steps throughout but most have handrails. The steps into the cottage are bigger but we had no issues. We didn’t use a wheelchair but we had people with reduced mobility no-one found it difficult to navigate (except the spiral staircase, which I had to take slowly). This house is great for gatherings if you have sensory needs or need quiet spaces with lots of little nooks for chats. Overall this house was a treat. We loved it. Some of our guests are already want to bring their families back! It's just as it looks in the photos but somehow bigger and happier. Enjoy the home, we certainly did!

Summary: Visiting from Sydney, we had a family break here with ages ranging from 11 months to 89! Very spacious, and pretty views from most windows, Quiet,set back from the road and plenty of parking. Lots of lovely sofas to all sit around talking and outdoor seating too which we were able to use during the wonderful weather we had. There was an issue with hot water which was quickly resolved and communication was very good with the owner. Great place to stay but a caution for very young and elderly as there are 5 deep steps inside leading off the kitchen to the bedrooms which are on tiled floors and hard to see as they’re not marked.

Summary: Although the actual property was amazing, there were so many ornaments and knick-knacks, it would be impossible to clean properly between bookings. which results in a lot of cobwebs. Although my grown up kids didn't mind about the bed linen being rough dried, I did. The garden was very exciting for the children to play. On the whole, we had a brilliant holiday and loved Pembrokeshire. WB
