About The Stables and Bullpen
The Stables and Bullpen is a charming stone barn conversion, one of three on the edge of the village of Castlemartin, less than 2 miles from the stunning Freshwater West beach.
Renovated throughout, it retains plenty of original features with beams throughout and practical tiled floors, comfortable contemporary furnishings, blended with industrial style features compliment the traditional character of this cottage. A footpath leads through the enclosed, lawned garden and small courtyard, a lovely, sunny, sheltered spot to relax, and into the fitted cottage-style kitchen/diner, the sitting room is a cosy spot with a wood burning stove for those chillier evenings. The hall takes you through to three welcoming bedrooms and a bathroom. The master double bedroom has French doors opening to a decked patio overlooking the small, enclosed garden, a perfect spot to enjoy an alfresco meal or glass of a wine on a summer’s evening.
Conveniently situated to explore this stunning coastline, Freshwater West beach popular with surfers and the setting for the block buster movies of Robin Hood and Harry Potter is less than 2 miles away. The area is ideal for walkers with flower filled country lanes and footpaths just waiting to be explored. Castlemartin military firing range covers 6000 acres within the Pembrokeshire Coastal National Park, while it is used for military training, there is seasonal opening of footpaths which gives access to less frequented sections of the Coastal Path.
The area abounds in spectacular cliffs, hidden coves and sandy beaches, visit the Green Bridge of Wales a natural limestone stack reaching out into the sea or the tiny medieval 6th century St Govans Chapel built into the cliffs. The beaches of Broadhaven South, Barafundle and Swanlake are all approached on foot so are seldom busy. A walk around the Lily Ponds at Bosherston, especially in June and July should not be missed, there is a pub and tea room where you can enjoy refreshments in the village while keen kayakers, paddle boarders and water sport enthusiasts will be thrilled by the sheltered harbour of Stackpole Quay, The Boat House Cafe or Stackpole Inn both serve good food. A 15 minute drive will take you to the medieval town of Pembroke, birth place of Henry VII, there are a range of facilities all set against the backdrop of Pembroke Castle and Mill pond.
An ideal holiday home for couples or a family to enjoy a relaxing break, whatever the time of year.
No cot provided, you are welcome to bring your own.
Please note that this property is set in a unique location close to Castlemartin military firing range. The range covers an area of 2400 hectares on the South Pembrokeshire coast within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
The Castlemartin military range closes for the month of August and there are guided walks available during August on the scenic coastal area that covers the military range.Castlemartin has the highest concentration of seabirds on the Pembrokeshire mainland, including guillemots, razorbills and kittiwakes. Most important of all, it provides an ideal habitat for the nationally-rare chough. The coastal heath and unimproved grassland also supports birds such as wheatears, skylarks, meadow pipits and stonechats.The Pembrokeshire Coast Path, a National Trail, crosses Range East (during non-firing periods) and inland along 8 km of roads past Range West. When firing is in progress the road diversion through Bosherston provides a longer walk. Vehicle access is available to Stack Rocks and St Govan’s Chapel. Both of these are popular with sightseers, climbers and fishermen. The sea cliffs provide some of the best cliff climbing in the UK.Range West and the inland part of Range East are generally not open to the public. However, the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority/Defence Estates organises regular accompanied walks into this area. Many other groups are also catered for through annual safety and conservation briefings. These access opportunities are only available during non-firing periods.

A Great week in your wonderful home, the weather was an added bonus!! We’ve stayed in Pembrokeshire many times but have never visited Freshwater west before. It has a beautiful beach and great for long walks. We would also recommend walking from Stackpole to Bosherston via Barafundle beach. The views are absolutely amazing on a clear day, finished off with an afternoon tea at ‘Ye old worlde café’ in Bosherton. There are many scenic places around here, Manorbier and Tenby to name but a few. Your home is in such a peaceful location and we certainly enjoyed the rest and relaxation. Many Thanks
