Bangeston Barn, 2 mins to surf beaches & coast path - 25% off weekly booking

Bangeston Barn was completely renovated from 2008-2012 and is the perfect location for a gathering of families, couples or friends. Dogs are more than welcome to come and stay too!

Although fully updated with all the latest technology and conveniences, our barn is at heart a traditional Pembrokeshire barn with stone walls.

We fell in love with this area many years ago and stumbled upon Bangeston Farmhouse and its adjoining barn in a state of disrepair. Four years later, after a lot of blood, sweat and tears (and a rather large beard!) we felt we had done it justice - treading a fine line between environmental conversion whilst retaining the historic beauty of Bangeston. This part of Pembrokeshire is a hidden gem combining breath-taking countryside and coastline, but remaining mostly untouched. We are now a family of 5 (including the dog!) with a passion for surfing, kitesurfing, paddle boarding, cycling and gazing at the stars (beer-in-hand) - all of which can be enjoyed in this area. Freshwater West is around a mile away and it's only a short drive further to the beautiful beaches of Barafundle, Broadhaven South, Bosherston, Stackpole Quay and Manobier - these beaches are also dog friendly all year round. There are also many miles of coast path to explore within the National Park - the Pembrokeshire Coast Path being easily accessible from Bangeston. Based in the countryside at the end of an unmade track, our barn is a beautiful, quiet and tranquil retreat after a day's activities. If you like a bit more hustle and bustle, the market town of Pembroke - with its magnificent medieval castle and numerous cafes and shops - is just 15 minutes away.

Bangeston Barn has 2 bedrooms and a mezzanine area sleeping 7 in total. The living room leads to the master bedroom (up 4 steps and with a king size bed) and also to the second bedroom which has a bunk bed - a double on the bottom and a single on top. The mezzanine sleeping area has a double bed and is accessed via a bespoke ladder with handrail. This space has restricted head room.

The family bathroom is on the ground floor with a toilet, washbasin, bath and overhead shower.

There is a hand-fitted well-equipped kitchen, with oak worktops. The kitchen is equipped with an integrated dishwasher, fridge/freezer, gas oven and hob, microwave, coffee making facilities, nutrininja blender and washing machine and hopefully all the utensils you need to enjoy your stay. It leads into an open plan living and dining area which comfortably seats 8. The barn is heated with solar panels, a wood pellet boiler and underfloor heating. There is also a cosy wood burner surrounded by 3 sofas. Entertainment includes a TV with built in DVD, sound system, board games, books, DVDs and a basket of toys for young children.

There is a south facing lawned garden overlooking the ancient woodlands of the Angle Estate, a Weber charcoal BBQ, portable wood fired pizza oven, Slow cooker, large Ninja Air Fryer and various areas outside to eat, drink and enjoy the sunshine at different times of the day. Some garden furniture is also provided.

We have done our best to create a stylish, well equipped and comfortable home, although we really bought it because of its special location near the dunes, surf and sunsets of Freshwater West.

If you like a hike and great food visit the award winning Cafe Mor an old boat/cafe that sells lobster burgers from the carpark at Freshwater West.

Thank you for looking and reading this far!

Everything a family wants
What a wonderfully clever barn conversion! A twenty minute walk to Angle West beach and a mile and a half walk to Freshwater West beach. Our dogs loved the walks, as well, and all the local beaches dog friendly. The barn is well equipped for a family stay and if the weather does turn there are enough games and toys to keep the kids entertained for days, even the big ones! I loved finding the guitar and it was still in tune! Thanks for being a great host, Paul. Radar & Lilly, Jack & Lottie

Perfect Stay at Bangeston Barn
We had a wonderful summer stay at Bangeston Barn. It was the perfect downshift after five nights in London during our kids' first trip to the UK. The beautiful scenery made us feel right at home coming from Seattle, WA, USA. As a fellow DIY-er, I so admire Paul's excellent handiwork in making the barn a truly special vacation rental. We were lucky enough to bump into Paul and his family and I'm sure we could have compared notes and visited all day had time allowed. I joked that the only negative part of our trip is that now we have to buy a woodfire pizza oven when we get home because we enjoyed using Paul's pizza oven so much. The location is splendid--we did quick convenient trips to Freshwater West Beach (visiting the "grave" of Dobby the Elf), the Green Bridge of Wales, St. Govain's Chapel, Stackpole/Barafundle Bay, Pembroke Castle, and West Angle Beach (for multiple tea stops at Wavecrest). My morning run each morning was north through beautiful Bangeston Wood up and out to the Angle Lifeboat Station. And we stopped next door at the produce stand from the Angle Walled Garden for new potatoes and flowers. All aspects of the residence itself are creatively designed and executed. I can only imagine how cozy and wonderful the barn would feel for a winter visit--I noted many entries in the guestbook describing great Christmas stays. We would love to return in the fullness of time. Thank you, Paul!

We had a great time staying in Paul’s barn conversion. It is such a cute property with everything you could want in a holiday home. So close to so many fun activities - surfing, castles, puffins on Skomer Island - we saw it all! Thank you Paul - we hope to be back! :)

Digital Detox in Pembrokeshire.
Property exactly as listed, we decided not to take advantage of the Wi-Fi (to much), and didn’t switch the TV on once. We did enjoy the tranquility of the location, and the fact that everything we needed for our walking, coastal, beach orientated break was within a 15 minute drive away. I promised he dogs a different beach every day. Man, what beaches they are! I’d do it all again in a heartbeat. Very happy.

We adored this charming cottage. The house was so lovely. It was so charming. My kids adored the loft. And the backyard was perfect for keeping them entertained when we weren't exposing the beautiful beaches nearby. The kitchen had everything you could possibly desire. Wish we could have stayed longer.

A gorgeous and thoughtful barn conversion
This is a wonderful spot. The design of the barn is fantastic; warm and cosy with underfloor heating, triple glazing and a wood-burner; lovely design with perfectly matching exposed wood, whitewashed walls and stone; every kitchen implement you could imagine, so many games, puzzles & books - it felt we were being challenged to try to find a fault - we couldn't! The front and back gardens (sun in morning, then afternoon) with tables and seating provided; the quiet country location, but close to West Angle Bay and Freshwater West; Also walkable to the pub in Angle... just lovely. On top of that, Paul was super responsive with communication and provided a very comprehensive welcome book with all sorts of hints and tips (like asking for veg boxes from the neighbour, which we did). This is an extremely thoughtfully offered cottage - hugely recommended! Andrew & Andreia

Stop searching...you've found it! 😍
Bangeston Barn is utter heaven! A beautiful character property with all the mod cons needed. We were lucky enough to meet the owners Paul & Naomi when we arrived. They are lovely friendly people who have put their heart & soul into Bangeston. The Angle area which is within the Pembrokeshire Coastal National Park is wild & beautiful. It feels remote but you're only about 30 mins from Pembroke with it's lovely castle and river walk & Pembroke Dock for getting food supplies etc. The barn is within walking distance to dog friendly beaches & coves which our three hounds loved! If you want a peaceful break away from the madness of 2020 then you've found it! We will certainly be heading back to Bangeston as soon as we can! Thank you for the best week ever.😍🐾😍

This property provided a fantastic little holiday home for my husband and I, and our three young children and two dogs. It is well appointed and in an excellent location. On the door step are quiet public foot paths and there are lovely beaches are only a short drive away (walkable if you have older children). The neighbours were friendly and we were able to get a veg box delivered within 12 hours of checking in. Paul is a great resource of local knowledge giving us lots of top tips on places to go with our kids even when the weather was less than ideal. I have no hesitation in recommending Bangeston Barn for a Pembrokeshire getaway. We will certainly be back! Many thanks, from The Moores
