About this property

Holiday getaway, log burner, romantic retreat

Be close to nature with this base to explore beautiful North Pembrokeshire, or just relax with the views or stargaze by the fire.
Damson Cabin in the old orchard, with its own private space and decking area. Set on a smallholding south facing towards the beautiful Preseli mountains.
Offering comfort whilst being an alternative off grid holiday, the low impact accredited site is a mixture of short grass and wild areas, attracting lots of birds, bats, and other wildlife, to the delight of our visitors. This year a family of sparrows nested in the eaves of Damson’s porch, and a resident owl is regularly spotted.
Popular destination throughout the year, there’s lots of outdoor and indoor activities closeby, within easy reach of beaches, coastal paths, woodlands, or indoor music, theatre, art and crafts.
Enjoy an autumn/winter break settling in front of the log burner at night, also with no neighbours there is little light pollution so star gazing is recommended. Ideal for Christmas breaks and valentine celebrations. Early summer near the coast is milder, warmer weather often with sunny days, so a great chance to see the snowdrops, then daffodils and swathes of bluebells in our wooded path.
This off grid retreat has no mains electric or water, it does have its own electric shower just down a small pathway. There is also LED lighting in the kitchen shed and toilet from a solar system.

Great little retreat

Absolutely loved our stay. We had 7 days of absolute heaven, away from all the pressures of life. Great place for your four legged friends as well, we could let them play freely with the knowledge that they were safe and secure. Hosts great and always available. Will definitely be staying again.

Lovely and peaceful stay

On arrival I was met by Jane. Her dog Nell played with my dog which was lovely. The cabin was comfortable and roomy. It was lovely to be able to sit outside and relax and unwind. The little kitchen was a nice place to prepare food. If you are looking for a place to unwind and get away from the hustle bustle of daily life I can highly recommend it.

Loved every moment:)))

Spend a few days with kids 12 and 9. At first they complained especially about the outside toilet :) they cried when we were leaving that they want to stay. We have a great time collecting firewood, lighting a bomb every night. on the last morning a little robin flew into our cabin. It was amazing to be able to help him to get out. Great place to slow down, and enjoy every moment.

Chilled glamping secluded retreat

Great location, very pleasant hosts, safe & secure. A fantastic stay if you want to escape the busy noisy rat race to recharge your batteries. Get back to wildlife. Beautiful log fire to set the evening off or a fire outside with a few drinks just listening to the birds and looking at the stars. If you looking for peace and quiet with the one you love then this is definitely the place to go.

Cabin life :-)

Unfortunately we had to leave early because of two storms bearing down on us. Jane was lovely. Would be a great off grid property in summer when it's warmer, just the time of year ruined our stay.

Disappointing beyond belief

Needed somewhere to stay that accepted 4 dogs. Emailed Jane who was lovely and accommodating. Emails answered very promptly. Two days before our stay, I was Emailed to say the cabin (Damson) where I'd booked was having a new floor and it wasn't ready, would we be prepared to move to Preseli, their other cabin. As long as our dogs were contained and safe, I wasn't bothered which cabin we stayed in. This time the emails were taking hours to be replied to, not good when you're not sure what's happening with your holiday. Arrived after a 6hr journey - to a notice on the gate saying closed, and it looking like it was securely locked. Phoned the number which was answered by Jane - told to come in - as lock was for show. Parked up - was told how to get to cabin, not shown - walking with all our gear and the dogs. The disappointment hit us straight away. It was dilapidated, run down, dirty and full of dead insects and cobwebs. The cabin looked like the pictures had been taken about 10+ years prior. Not a good representation, this is not what I was expecting. The porch floor had collapsed. The flooring inside was totally mismatched and bodged. The door cladding around the '4 poster' bed was dark and made it look scary. Then a door with a skeletons hand randomly at the side. Other side of room was more pleasant although the blind only covered about 2/3s of the window. The door bolted shut from the outside - but couldn't be secured from the inside. On going outside to clear up after my dogs, I found I was actually clearing up after someone else's dogs too, it was everywhere. The eco toilet was not a pleasant experience. You could see everything down there, I've done Glastonbury on the Sunday and it not look as bad as this one. Didn't use the shower - but had a quick look - it looked clean, although tiny. We were booked in for 2 nights, but left after 20 hrs, most of this time we spent away from the cabin. I've taken photos to compare against the ones used to advertise the property. The difference is shocking, so out of date. Disappointed is a total understatement.

Seclusion, Peaceful and Perfect Heaven

I needed time to relax and find time for ME. I found this place to be perfect and close to Nature. Jan and Michael made me feel welcomed. The cabin provides privacy, a close nature experience with birds, bees, rabbits, sheep, cows, fresh air, the warmth of log fire and candles for a light, variety of garden shrubs, flowers, trees and bushes. I was amazed and respected their efforts to make break not only eco-friendly but a perfect balance with comfort and nature. Thank you
