Yr Hen Gof

• A pretty, modern pet friendly Pembrokeshire holiday cottage converted from what was once the smithy and smith's cottage, set on the hillside leading up to the hilltop village of Mathry.
• Cosy, comfortable and warm with exposed stone walls and high vaulted ceiling. The spacious kitchen/diner is a lovely, welcoming family room with open plan stairs leading to a loft bedroom on a mezzanine floor over the kitchen.
