We spent the week after half term at this glorious retreat. Self Catering luxury at its best. It rightly deserves its 5 star rating from the Welsh Tourist Board. Situated down a quiet country lane but less than 10 miles from Britain smallest and arguably it's best city(St. David's). Karen our host was lovely and was interested in all our visits. A bit like visiting your favourite aunty in the country. The welcome basket of Welsh treats was a nice touch. Sammy the dog was often around when you missed your own canine friend. The playground with its pirate ship, rope swing and zip wire was enjoyed by our 3 year old grandson and parents and grandparents alike. Local attractions included a bug kitchen/farm, Pembroke Castle, St. David's and the quaint beach at Little Haven. If you are looking for a quality hidden gem in Pembrokeshire then this property is for you: but shhh! Don't tell anyone!

Asheston House Farm is a lovely spot for a relaxing break in the beautiful welsh hills.

Situated just 20 minutes from St Davids and 24 from stunning Whitesands Bay, this idyllic set of 3 holiday cottages are very pleasing surprise (Especially the under floor heating :D). Luxurious and well appointed they aren't cheap but they are worth it.

Let down only slightly by a few little niggly things such as a lack of instructions for the grill and a need for a good clean in places I would certainly return and have already recommended it to my friends.

My only real complaint has nothing do with the Cart House (where we stayed) and more to do with the fickle Welsh weather; I didn't get to see the Milky Way once :/

P.S. Definitely visit Pointz Castle Ice Cream parlour. I certainly did :)

Karen and Jeff have worked very hard to create a lovely set of barn conversions, ideal for a holiday in South Wales. The surroundings are beautiful and very peaceful. The Cart House has been very tastefully renovated and we had everything we needed. It was very well supplied. The hamper on our first day was very welcome, as was the milk left in the fridge for us. Karen was very helpful and responded quickly to our requests.

Definitely recommend Asheston Barns for anyone looking for a rural stay in Pembrokeshire near the beautiful scenic coast. Our barn was quaint and cosy, and fully equipped with everything we needed. The children were able to roam freely around the farm and be at one with nature which was a real bonus, there was even a woodland playground complete with zipwire! Karen and Jeff were very welcoming, and helped us with anything we requested, overall we had a lovely stay.

We spent a lovely week at the barn, surrounded by beautiful countryside & waking up to great views. The moment we stepped into our temporary home it was warm & inviting, the hamper was a lovely touch with delicious goodies. It’s surrounded by pretty villages & great beaches to visit. Our hosts were very welcoming & helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much, a great way to end 2017.

Excellent place for young children as toys, ride on cars & play park area provided. Close to Newgale beach. Sitting room a little dated & one of the sofas very uncomfortable otherwise very well-equipped barn. Welcome hamper was appreciated too. High chair, booster seat, stair gates & bed sides all available without extra cost.

We would definitely return here



An excellent week for the whole family.

We booked the Cart House together with the Grain Store for a family celebration. The Barns were all we had hoped for. The conversions have been very well done with clever engineering to make the Barns very Green. The location, rural but near enough to beaches and towns, is ideal. Karen and Jeff, the owners, are very friendly and efficient but not intrusive in any way. We all enjoyed our stay.

We recently enjoyed an extended family holiday with three other families, sharing three of the ecobarns. It's a great place for kids- loads of play space and a lovely location not far from terrific beaches. We liked the environmental responsibility of the site.

Tasteful and comfortable. Everything you need for a break away. I stayed with my elderly parents and sister. We all enjoyed sitting out on the patio each evening enjoying the countryside and views. We found the kitchen to be well fitted out with everything we needed. The bathrooms are modern and good quality. Having a ground floor bedroom and bathroom was ideal for us. We would all recommend The Cart House at Asheton Eco Barns.

We stayed in The Cart house for 4 nights in May and enjoyed our stay immensely. The house was beautifully furnished and had every amenity we could think of. The kids enjoyed running around in the open grassland surrounding the barns and the location was perfect for visiting the many attractions of Pembrokeshire.

Spent a couple of peaceful weeks in January at Asheston Barns and stayed at the Cart House. Superb accommodation, warm, well equipped and very comfortable. Charming hosts close at hand and welcoming but not at all intrusive. Excellent location to explore North and South of Pembrokeshire. Highly recommended.

The Cart House is a lovely cottage with retained original features and well equipped for a family stay. The weather was typically Welsh - unrelenting heavy rain, however the cottage was wonderfully warm, even without the log burner going. On site facilities good and felt a very safe environment for the children to play.

Only downside was wi-fi that seems incompatible with mobile devices. Worked fine with a laptop, but foudn it difficult to connect / work with iPad/iPhone's.

Pleasant rural property with super play area for the children and selection of toys. Good accommodation with spacious rooms and excellent bathrooms. Helpful hosts and good central location in Pembrokeshire. All garden / outside space is open to all neighbouring properties so not private for bbqs etc. so may not suit all. Furnished nicely although beds and sofas could be more comfortable.

The property was very welcoming with attention having been taken to ensure there was a good combination of stylish surroundings mixed with lots of practical equipment, especially the well appointed kitchen. It felt more like being in someone's home than in a cottage let.
Many thanks for the welcome pack and helpful information on our arrival.

We decided to have a short family holiday to celebrate mums birthday and my sisters 50th birthday.
The Cart house was a good choice, mum was well catered for, downstairs bedroom and bathroom, and the rest of us were perfectly accommodated.
The host was very helpful, refilling our log basket almost daily.
When we left we were already discussing our return.

First impressions were of the very professional manner of all the contact we had with Asheston Eco Barns. Then we were most impressed with the appearance of the building as we approached up their long drive. Obviously a very well cared for place which has been fully restored with taste and quality. We felt very private with our own lovely outside seating/entertaining area. Karen and her small daughter greeted us and showed us everything we needed to know. The house was spotless and exceptionally we'll equipped. The bed linen was crisp and we'll laundered. The design of our barn was lovely with two huge bathrooms and plenty of space everywhere. Our views were amazing overlooking hills, valleys, fields and woods. It is probably the nicest place we have ever booked and I totally respect and approve of their 'Eco' approach to energy conservation in the barns. I would not hesitate to recommend it to everyone (except I would be shooting myself in the foot if it became so popular that I could not get in next time I wanted to book!)

A beautifully converted barn (one of five on the property), fully equipped and providing a home from home for our week's stay. The location (very rural) may not suit anyone who wishes to eat out every night as the nearest establishments are 3-4 miles away. However, the location, near St Davids and Solva means that access to both North and South coasts of Pembrokeshire are well within an hour's drive. We had a very enjoyable week.

The Cart House a converted stone outbuilding at Asheston Eco Barns was exactly what we had hoped it would be. I lovely quiet location, very scenic and far away from busy day to day lives.

Very comfortable and well equipped and while we were two couples and no children, it's very evident that this is a really great place for families and children to holiday. Loads of play equipment and things to do, inside and out.

We had secure storage space cleared for our bikes, which was helpful and got lots of good advice which helped to get the most from our short stay. Local pubs and cafes in Solva, a few minutes drive away, were excellent.

For sure we'd make another visit and recommend Asheston Eco barns to others.

The barn has been converted to a high standard, is well equipped and has everything that you would need for a weeks stay. It is set in beautiful countryside and I can imagine it to be a very cosy retreat out of season. We had an enjoyable week in August with our 2 teenage boys and their friends; they particularly loved the zip wire in the wooded play area and there was plenty of space for them to play football too. The only negatives were that it was a little cramped for 6 people particularly around the dining table which could only comfortably seat 4 and in the lounge area. The double beds did feel small, particularly the downstairs bedroom considering it had more than enough room for a larger one. However the beds were very comfortable and clean. We did fail to get a mobile signal unless we walked back up to the top of the hill, but that is only an issue if you need to be contactable during your stay. The Tesco supermarket in Haverfordwest delivered the grocery order we had pre-booked without any issues. The ECO concept has been applied well to the barns and the recycled water system was interesting. However I do have to admit to missing a tumble-dryer; particularly as our weather was mixed but it wasn't cold enough for the heating and we weren't able to dry beach or bath towels successfully. All in all a great stay and would recommend but maybe not for 6 adults!

Back for a 3rd time to the cottages as they are perfect. They worked especially well for a large family get-together allowing us all to congregate in the larger cottage while still providing opportunities for privacy and a feeling of space. The attention to detail is fantastic. The cottages are all clean, comfortable and well-equipped. Staying in the Cart House, the view is so beautiful, you can just sit on the sofa and watch for hours!

A comfortable and well equipped cottage that provided an excellent base to explore West Pembrokeshire. We especially appreciated how warm and cosy the cottage was and how beautifully furnished. All aspects of the barn conversion have been carried out to a high standard. The location was peaceful and we enjoyed the views from the sofa as we settled down each evening in front of the log burner. The owners made us welcome and provided all the ingredients for a great spring break.

We stayed at The Cart House over the New Year period, our group consisted of 3 couples and a 1 year old. The cottage was still decorated with a Christmas tree which made the welcome really lovely and once the log burner was alight it was such a cosy retreat from the very wet & windy weather we had. There was also a gorgeous hamper waiting for us filled with delicious local food and drink. We requested a high chair, cot and stair gates during booking, all of which were ready to use on arrival. There were also lots of toys for our 1 year old to play with which she loved, and games & books for the adults too.
The 2 bathrooms were spotless with a choice of a bath and shower in each. The kitchen had everything you could possible need, very generous with plates, glasses, utensils etc. The 3 bedrooms were a great size especially the downstairs one. The twin beds in one of the upstairs bedrooms needs new matresses but this was our only complaint!
Overall, we all had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this accommodation. We will definitely be going back!
