About The Barn at Ysgubor

Ysgubor - The Barn is a stunning converted barn in Pembrokeshire, Wales that'll make you forget about your boring life back home.

The surrounding area is a playground for outdoor lovers. Miles of walking trails start right from your doorstep, so you can leave the car behind. Beautiful dog-friendly beaches are just a short drive away - perfect for tiring out both the kids and the four-legged family members before heading back for an evening soak.

The accommodation sleeps six guests across three bedrooms. There's a double with en-suite, plus two twin rooms that can be converted to super-kings for flexible sleeping arrangements. The ground floor bathroom features both bath and shower facilities. Upstairs, the open-plan living area includes a kitchen, dining space and sitting area with a cosy woodburning stove.

Nearby attractions include the Shell House (1 mile, 5 mins), local beaches like Penbryn with The Plwmp Tart tearoom (8 miles, 20 mins), Cardigan Castle (14 miles, 30 mins) and numerous walking trails in the Preseli Hills (5 miles, 15 mins).

Darren

The Barn is sited in a beautiful location that looks onto a wooded valley. It is peaceful and surrounded with lots of walking trails through the countryside and woods. The Barn has everything that is needed to ensure a wonderful holiday, fully equipped and spacious accommodation for 6 and two dogs. We had two dogs that enjoyed the enclosed garden just for them. There are plenty of interesting places to visit and pubs to eat at just a short drive away. We will visit again.

Stewart

Having stayed in many Sykes cottages this was by far the best yet. The facilities offered were second to none and the views were amazing. Very dog friendly garden and excellent walking nearby. Everything we asked for our young granddaughter was provided.

Rachel

This property was delightful, the location was so peaceful and the views were beautiful. We were very lucky with the weather but could imagine a cosy winters evening here too. The hot tub was enjoyed in sunshine and the rain, and games room was a great addition for our teenagers. The hosts were very welcoming and we loved the personal touch of how the barn was created and the photographic story. Cardigan was close to get supplies and spend time. We would love to go back.

Debbie

Fantastic cottage, great location, friendly owners nothing was any trouble for them. Everything was finished to a high standard, lovely soft towels, nice comfortable beds. The hot tub was a bonus and the games room got used quite a lot. We would definitely return.

Justine

What a lovely location, with friendly hosts who could not be more helpful. The property was really great, we had everything we needed and having the hot tub was a real treat. I hope we can return again soon.

We had a lovely stay. The garden was dog escape proof, well equipped. Beautiful location with walks from the door step. Large games room. Just perfect

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful place. We took our 3 grandchildren 16, 13 & 8 so the little games room was a godsend. The cottage is gorgeous and so clean. The hot tub was amazing after a day exploring and the views are breathtaking. Thank you for our stay Dave.

We had a great time in Wales and we thoroughly enjoyed staying at Ysgubor. This lovely cottage has everything you need, it was spotlessly clean when we arrived and the views are amazing. its also in a good location within easy reach of lots of places to visit. A great friendly little pub called Ffynnone Arms is just a 5 minute drive away and serves lovely homemade food. Sam and Dave are very welcoming and we loved the little treats left for us. The games room was an added bonus, which was great fun especially when it was pouring with rain. Highly recommend staying here and we would definitely like to visit again.

Lovely barn conversion, very comfortable and well appointed. Views are amazing across Pembrokeshire countryside and good walking routes on your door step. Highlight might be watching the bats from the hot tub at dusk followed by very dark skies to make gazing up at the stars very memorable. Lovely hosts as well.

Alison

We had a lovely time in this cottage. It had everything we needed and the owners were lovely. The scenery was beautiful and the hit tub was lovely especially after a day out sight seeing. The games room was enjoyable too. Would definitely recommend

Jessica

The most wonderful accommodation and location. It was clean, well facilitated, the owners were the most accommodating. This stay exceeded our expectations. We would not hesitate to come back again, wonderful memories made in pictureqsue Wales.

Sophie

Had such a relaxing, peaceful stay in the barn! The cottage had more than enough space for 2 people and 2 dogs! The location is amazing, it was so nice to have so many walking routes on the doorstep of the cottage meaning you didn't have to rely on driving places every day! We met Dave on day 1 and he gaves us some brilliant recommendations on places to go and things to do! Lots of walking during the day then relaxing in the hot tub in the late afternoon is just perfect! The view from the living room is also spectacular, so much so even the dogs appreciated sitting in the window watching the world go by. If you're in need of some R&R in the countryside this place is 1010!

Spacious, comfortable accommodation with delightful hilly views which makes it a great place to relax even when it rains! as it's off the beaten track. Ideally situated for walking or driving to so many other places which are well worth visiting. The hot tub and the games room were a bonus. We would happily return there in the future.

Ysgubor is a beautifully appointed barn conversion with the living area upstairs so the wonderful views of surrounding hills can be appreciated The owners live adjacent so are on hand for any queries.

Debbie

Wowwhat a gorgeous property with amazing views. Perfect location with gorgeous walks and beautiful beaches close by. The property is so well equipped Dave and Sam have thought of everything with some extra added touches

Excellent accomodation Very friendly and helpful. Peaceful. It was our second visit and will go again.

Our family absolutely loved this property. It had all the facilities we needed and was extremely clean and comfortable. The games room and hot tub were a real treat as well. The location was perfect for us. There are many lovely walks very close by and the local church and shell house open on a Thursday are well worth a visit. My Mum, in particular, was fascinated by the early medieval, cross carved stone near the top of the drive. The hosts were really lovely, very friendly, helpful and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this property to family and friends and we all would love to come back.

This property could not be faulted in any way and was really lovely. The hot tub and games room are an added bonus.

Spent a lovely few days at the Barn. Everything we could have needed was included. Hot tub was a bonus. Views were fantastic and the location is perfect for visiting all the beaches and plenty of dog walks.

Rachel

Lovely barn, comfortable, great for families and lovely surroundings. Great touches and thoughtful welcome packs and lovely games area. We regularly stay in this area and this place is ideal for exploring, we were very close to Cardigan Town, just 10 minutes away. Lovely walks. It was a flying visit and last minute! But we definitely return for a longer break. Thanks both.

Fabulous place to stay. The view's are wonderful. Peaceful and not far to travel to beautiful beaches. The owners are very nice and helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a home from home stay, who wants a peaceful holiday. We would definitely return in the future.

The best cottage we've ever stayed in! The open plan living area upstairs is perfect to take in the view and with the balcony door open the dog is kept busy on look out. Bedrooms are very comfortable and being downstairs kept nicely cool on Wales' hottest ever day at 36C. The kitchen is well equipped, we only ate out once recommend the Pizza Tipi in Cardigan. The garden and hot tub have a great view and are enclosed, so no worries with a dog. The barn has a games room with ping pong, pool, fussball and darts. We had fun with our own indoor league competition. Fress eggs available and very tasty too! From the cottage there is a path down to the river with a small pool, perfect for the dog during our very hot stay. Nearby Cardigan is full of nice small shops, Poppins Sands, Blue Lagoon, Oakwood theme Park and the national Botanical Gardens. The owners are very helpful and with their recommendations helped make this stay our of the best holidays ever. Thanks.

The property was spotless and beds very comfortable. 1010 from us
