About Troed y Garn
Pet & family friendly Strumble Head coastal cottage situated in a tranquil stunning location, surrounded by birdsong and rolling countryside, a mile from the spectacular scenery at Pwll Deri.
Newport little Coastal Town
- Nestling beneath Garn Fechan (Little Rock - Garn Fawr's little sister) with views across open countryside to the curve of the North Pembrokeshire coastline, this newly renovated cottage with WiFi has an elegant and stylish interior with an eclectic mix of antiques and modern furniture. Pets welcome.
- There is underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, a 'Clearview' log burning stove in the spacious lounge, a family sitting/dining room and a master en-suite bedroom all tastefully furnished.
- The owner, renowned Pembrokeshire artist Carolyn Mc.Lachlan's original paintings of local scenes adorn the walls.
- The luxury fitted kitchen has individually designed handmade wall tiles.
About The Area
Garn Fawr & Garn Fechan- This is a naturalists, walkers, bird watchers, artists and photographers paradise - walk along the country lane and take the path which wends its way to the top of the rocky outcrop of Garn Fawr, (crowned by an iron age fort) and spread beneath you is a breathtaking panorama - a patchwork of ancient fields and the rugged coast line as it sweeps majestically down to St Davids Head.
- Pwllderi and Strumble Head are fantastic spots for seal watching, particularly in the early autumn when the seals with their pups can be seen in large numbers on the gravel beaches below.
- Strumble Head, with its island offshore lighthouse, is on a migratory path for a diversity of sea birds and there is a bird watching observatory on the cliff-tops here. This is also a wonderful place for spotting marine life as the seas below the cliffs teem with fish, minky whales, dolphins and porpoises.
- A delightful annual festival of music and events held in Fishguard, St Davids Cathedral and Rhos y Gilwen Mansion. Troed y Garn is well placed for music lovers to take full advantage of this excellent annual event held every July
- John Piper discovered Pembrokeshire through his wife Myfanwy Evans during the 1930's. He used his cottage just above Troed y Garn crouching under the fortified crags of Garn Fawr as a retreat and studio making many paintings and prints of local scenes.
- Families will love to explore Abermawr & Aberbach, twin sand and shingle beaches backed by magical ancient woodlands, (NT) which are carpeted with bluebells, sorrel, anemones and wild garlic in the spring.
- Goodwick nearby is a little hillside village with a Post Office, good village shop, chemist, doctor's surgery, a couple of pubs and the Fishguard Bay Hotel which has a wonderfully preserved Victorian interior.
- There is an easily accessible gently sloping sand and shingle beach overlooking the harbour, (from where there is a daily ferry service to Ireland).
- Ocean Lab run by the Sea Trust has a sea life exhibition with video of whales and dolphins and other exciting marine life filmed locally. Also aquariums, showing some fascinating aquatic sea creatures including a real octopus. Children will also love the lab's mascot 'Ollie the Octopus', and the soft play area for the under fives.
- Jude's Cafe in Ocean Lab serves quality reasonably priced food and beverages all day. Enjoy cakes, coffee. and locally made real dairy ice creams while gazing at views of the bay.
- Do visit this pretty little waterside cove on the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path. The Old Sailors Inn is a lovely place for refreshments. A dramatic walk around Dinas Head starts here.
- Visit St Davids or Martins Haven to book boat trips out to the internationally important bird islands of Ramsey and Skomer. Expect to see stunning coastal views and myriad seabirds as well as seals and dolphins.
Newport little Coastal Town
- Do visit the bustling little town of Newport full of interesting shops, cafes, pubs & restaurants and it has a glorious sandy beach designated a conservation area.
- Fishguard (see Lonely Planet Guide) is a small market town which has a range of small shops, 2 supermarkets, a cinema, leisure centre, restaurants/cafes and pubs. The newly restored Marine Walk around the clifftops has fabulous views. This was the site of the 'Last Invasion of Britain in 1797' and a tapestry worked by local needlewomen commemorating this event is displayed in the library - well worth a visit. Fishguard Farmers Market is held every Saturday and a weekly market every Thursday.
- The arts centre has changing exhibitions of quality work by national and international artists and crafts people. There is a reading room and an excellent gastro cafe. Look out for supper evenings with musical recitals.
Do visit Nant y Coy Mill which is open all year round with a warm fire in the winter months. Pembrokeshire Creations Gallery and Gift Shop at the Mill offer a wide choice of beautiful products created by local craftsmen. The cosy little cafe serves breakfasts, teas, barista coffees and delicious cakes as well as a lunch menu with an ever-changing “Specials” board.D
- Experience a range of activities suitable for everyone both on land and water. Choose from climbing, surfing, canoeing, archery or even coasteering which is the most popular and very exciting.
- Oakwood, Heatherton Sports Park, Folly Farm, Picton Castle, Scolton Manor, Castle Henllys and Manor Wildlife Park are all great family days out and all within an easy drive.

Why you love Troed y Garn
We've had a wonderful week in this beautiful house. Everything is so carefully thought out to make this place so comfortable. We appreciated it being spotlessly clean. There just wasnt enough time for all the things on our "to do" list so we'll ave to come back
Ruth Richardson
Our fifth visit and each time we really appreciate the comfort and tranquillity of Troed y Garn. Spent a very happy evening at The Shed at Porthgain, superb fresh fish, thoroughly recommend
The Pickfords
What a warm, wonderful, welcoming home to come back to after a day being lashed by the weather. Under-floor heating in a kitchen is essential for 2 Somerset black labs. We are sad to leave, you have provided us with treasured memories of the close of 2017 and a stellar start to 2018.
