Shepherds Cottage: Old to New.

Shepherds cottage is the newest of our holiday rentals, although the building itself is over 400 years old! We bought it back in 2014 and to say that it was run down is maybe a slight understatement! The garden was over grown, there was no access to the rear for parking and the roof was leaking and starting to fall in. Basically we had to start from scratch to make everything work.

We have renovated from ceiling to floors and now the cottage is a perfect, cosy place to come and relax.  We have tried to use traditional techniques and materials where possible, including welsh slate roof tiles and lime mortar. We have also added a modern touch with solar panels and a solar powered hot water system.

The garden was full of over grown trees and plenty of rubbish in the old stone walls. We recycled as much of the old stone into the garden as we could. Now there is a lovely sunken seated area with a great view over the farm fields.

Shepherds Cottage is perfect for a couple or for a small family. Plenty of walking along the Coastal Path and up into the hills. Plus some lovely beaches to discover nearby. We hope to welcome you soon.
