There is ample parking space for guests vehicles in our private car parking area and our very own boat mooring just a few meters from the Pembrokeshire National Park Coastal Path means that you can choose your preferred mode of transport to explore the areas natural beauty. Also, the Stumble Shuttle bus passes us on its route to St. David’s and can be used as a means of local transportation.
Garn Mawr, of Garn Isaf small holding, is a Grade II listed converted barn, just outside Abercastle near St. David’s, which has been beautifully renovated, incorporating many natural materials. The ground floor is limestone throughout with underfloor heating and the stairways are constructed of ash, leading to rooms with oak floors, all of which, have en-suite bathrooms with bamboo floors.
The quality accommodation is warm and cosy, with a spacious dining room and comfortable sunlounge with a wood burning stove to see off those rare chilly evenings and access onto a spacious, slate patio and raised garden area, which is ideal for BBQ’s and sundowners. This area is enclosed with Pembrokeshire banks, beyond which, is an open field that is festooned with wild flowers and grasses, attracting all manner of wildlife. It is the perfect place to sit and listen to the chatterings of our resident summer swallows or look out for a twilight fox. We can also provide fun, outdoor games such as croquet or petangue (French bowls).
The lounge has plenty of soft sofa chairs and various lighting options and is a great place to relax and perhaps read. The dining room is where breakfast and evening meals are usually served but outside meal times, its large central tables also provide a great space for exploring maps or sea charts and planning new adventures or perhaps the space might be used for playing family board games.
Breakfast is usually served between 0730 – 0830 and sometimes till 0900hrs but can be earlier or later if arranged in advance. Where possible we always use locally sourced and free range produce that comes from within the Pembrokeshire National Park. We are also happy to cater for specific dietary needs and ask that guests inform us of these at the time of booking. Packed lunches can be provided when requested in advance and we can also offer a 2 course evening meal, plus coffee and tea. Please tell us if you require an evening meal, at the time of booking.

Anne was a terrific host, and you can really appreciate the care and attention to detail Anne has for the property, her guests, and the area. Matching my needs, i was provided ground floor room which was easily accessible. It was spacious room and everything was nicely setup. Bathroom was fully accessible with both a shower and free standing roll top bath. The complimentary shampoo, shower gel, body cream etc were also fabulous. All the staff were kind and helpful.
