About Rhosson Farmhouse

Rhosson Farmhouse is a stunning detached grade II listed stone farmhouse, dating back to the 15th century, set yards from the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path and sea at St Justinians near St Davids.

It has been lovingly and beautifully restored using traditional methods and retaining the original features including a wonderful thatched roof and distinctive flemish chimney. Finished to a high standard and furnished in a mix of contemporary and antique pieces, it makes a fantastic holiday home, with restored beams, white washed and exposed stone walls and quality slate flagged floors.

The beautifully fitted cottage-style kitchen with all mod cons will certainly delight any cook, 2 steps lead up to the formal dining room with wood burning stove. The large main sitting room has a distinctive Inglenook with wood burning stove to ensure a cosy feel on the chilliest of evenings, the second sitting room and wonderful light spacious conservatory provide plenty of space for families to relax. The sauna is sure to be a favourite and the original stone stairs lead to a bedroom in the eaves with A-frame beams and a door leading out to the restored barn steps that drop down to the garden; the views from here are super.

The main staircase leads to the other bedrooms all equally charming with beams, wooden floors and high-appointed bathrooms. French doors from the conservatory lead to the fully enclosed, lawned garden with sloping lawn that stretches to 1 acre. Enjoy an alfresco meal on the sheltered gravel terrace or at the top of the lawn, the views are absolutely stunning and panoramic over the fields to the sea, Whitesands Beach and St Davids - magnificent!

Set just yards from the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path and a few minutes’ walk from St Justinian’s, the departure point for boat trips to Ramsey Island. It is perfect for exploring this wonderful coastline and in September a trip to see the seal pups is a must of any holiday. Whitesands beach popular with families and surfers both beginners and professionals alike is approx 1.3 miles away, while the tiny city of St Davids with its Cathedral and Bishops Palace is just under 2 miles away, enjoy exploring its shops, pubs, restaurants and galleries.

Rhosson Farmhouse is sure to become a firm favourite with holidaymakers whatever the time of the year.
