CAMROSE MILL

Buriedin a valley in the depths of Pembrokeshire’s heartland is Camrose Mill. A truly unique accommodation, this Grade II listed building contains a lovingly restored waterwheel and sack hoist with retained machinery.

Keen historians will also be interested to know it stands at the base of what was once a motte and bailey castle, part of the collection of strongholds built along the Landsker line between Llawhaden and St Davids. Unfortunately, the fortress is mostly hidden under years of growth but you can still enjoy walks along the waterside across the pathways and footbridges. Legend says William the Conqueror once stayed in the castle here on his way to the smallest city.

Now designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest, you can expect a utopia of wildlife here with birdlife filling the canopy of branches in the trees above whilst insects, butterflies and water creatures inhabit the lower ground.

The coastline is some fifteen minutes away at Druidston and Nolton Haven with larger bays like Newgale and Broad Haven nearby; watersports and coast path walking are favoured pastimes here. Amenities and more are just a short drive away in Haverfordwest.

Constructed from rubblestone with a pitched slate roof, Camrose Mill dates back to the 16th Century. Its painted red front door and wooden shutters create an iconic look to this holiday home from the outset. Step inside to find a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom before continuing up the stairs to reach the cosy open-plan living area where wooden beams top the room and a woodburning stove commands the room. Items from the mill’s past decorate the ledges here, best viewed from the galleried crog loft bedroom accessible via a fixed wooden ladder.
