Griff Rhys Jones declares this as his personal favourite of the Trehilyn UTT properties - we can see why!
Beudy Trehilyn will appeal to the design-conscious who love the coast, and must be one of the loveliest holiday cottages in Wales - a coastal retreat with easy direct access to great trails around the Trehilyn estate and the Pembrokeshire Coast footpath.
Famously restored by conservationists Jo and Griff Rhys Jones, with the help of architect son George and artist daughter Catherine, this once shabby cownshed has had a complete overhaul and now sits in its own lovely garden.
Immediately adjacent is a restored early Showman's Waggon (in a shed with huge glazed doors) that provides further accommodation if more than x3 stay - note this isn't let to others as an independent unit.
Sustainability was at the heart of every decision in this long and complex conservation project that is managed exclusively by Under the Thatch, and today you'll find EV charging for electric cars, as well as nice touches like a kids swing and slide set down your track.
Walk to the famous lighthouse on Ynys Meicl (2.5 miles) or hike out to Porthsychan cove (2 miles). Short walks take you the ruined cottage in the Trehilyn woods, or hike out to the dolphin and whale-watching station over the hill behind (2.5 miles). Beautiful Abermawr beach is 9 minutes (3 miles).
Fly fishing for rainbow trout in two ponds available on site. Catch & release, arrange with estate manager after booking.
Base price includes up to x3 staying in the stone cottage. *If more than x3 book the adjacent Showman's Waggon & 'shed' (which has a double bed and an extra bathroom) is made available. The Waggon and shed are shown here in the later photos.

Reviews
Bethan B,
2025
Such a special place to stay. What an inspirational renovation of this old building. Comfy beds and good quality bed linen. Huge sofas to lounge on and I was so appreciative of the antique welsh furniture. Wonderful rich curtains from Melin Tregwynt. The shower is like a relaxing rain therapy. An abundance of apples and pears to pluck straight from the trees and our walk along the stream every morning was a pure delight. I'll be back.
