WILLIAMSTON FARMHOUSE

Ifyou want an expanse of grounds right on your doorstep with a wealth of wildlife, then Williamston Farmhouse is the one for you. Set in a peaceful location only one and a half miles from the family-friendly Broad Haven Beach, this traditional country home promises a welcoming retreat at any time of year.

Slate floors, exposed stone walls, wooden ceiling beams and antique furnishings decorate this typical farmhouse, with added features of an Inglenook and woodburning stove enhancing the rich character of this rural holiday let. But it is once you step outside the door that you will fully appreciate Williamston Farmhouse and its terrific location.

A large enclosed lawn with a patio lies to the rear of the property; you’ll want to spend much of your time here taking in cups of tea and glasses of wine watching over the ever-moving birdlife. Let the sounds of birdsong and humming bees wash over you as you dine alfresco here for meal after meal. You can even fire up the barbecue so you needn’t even go inside to cook.

But the wonder doesn’t stop here; a couple more steps from the door and you’ll enter the breathtaking shared grounds of Williamston. Stroll through the magnificent woodlands and soon you’ll have no cares. You’ll need a large notebook to keep track of all your wildlife sightings here; expect the likes of woodpeckers, finches, herons, badgers, foxes, wagtails and so much more.

Further afield, Broad Haven is a must for all your beach day needs with a large sandy bay and a shoreline often offering decent waves for surfing. Eateries and shops are within walking distance, make sure to pick up fish and chips from Off the Hook bistro along the seafront. Join the Coast Path here to explore Little Haven and Nolton. Board a boat trip nearby to see the puffins at Skomer or try crabbing at Dale pontoon.
