The family made sure we had everything we needed to be relaxed and comfortable in this lovely old building.
The house was very well-equipped, warm and spacious with lots of room around the table and in the comfy armchairs.

The cottage was ideal for our family as there was lots of space to play outside including in a mini adventure playground. It is tucked away in deep countryside but quite near several great beaches, though a long way from food shops The owner was friendly and provided a generous welcome basket when we arrived.

We were a family group of 17, staying in 3 barns. The barns were in a fantastic rural location with great outdoor spaces. The kitchens well stocked and “the grain store”in particular was a great space for the whole family to mingle together at meal times.

We rented The Granary and the Grain Store for 2 family groups ranging in age from 3 to 83 and had a fabulous time. The accomodation was spotless and well equipped and the location perfect for the beach, walking and generally relaxing. The hosts were super-efficient and there was a wonderful welcome pack. We hope to be back!

This is an excellent place from which to see West Wales. The proximity to the beach is fabulous and despite its' remoteness Tesco will deliver! Hot water is plentiful, the space is a luxury that many of us don't have, and communication and helpfulness from Karen was appreciated.

We stayed in the grainstore and this was a lovely property. The owners have done a lot to maintain high standard of cleaning.
It’s in a lovely area with lots to do.

The house was very well equipped. The kids loved the toys and books.

The bbq needs replacing as we tried to use it and it’s not safe.

The kids loved the adventure playground And were desperate to go each day. It could do with some updating As quite a lot of it was old and broken items Need to be removed.

Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it

A very comfortable barn conversion in a good location close to the beautiful south and north coast, Solva and St David’s. There are several self catering units in the very large barn conversion but each is relatively private. There are extensive shared grounds with a children’s play area including a zip wire. Friendly owners and a nice dog too that comes to say hello.

We have stayed here at least 4 times now and, whatever the time of year, it is always a treat. Fantastic location and really well thought out facilities. Great for families and has pretty much everything you would need while stay away from home. Karen is always really helpful and the communication on booking excellent.

The outdoors was the best bit here with plenty of runaround areas for children - they loved the zipwire. We did have a particular problem with our downstairs double bedroom which had a small double and not particularly comfortable. Also there was no ability to have a window open in the room overnight since the window was within a door - we wouldn't have felt very secure leaving this open. Great welcome pack and hostess very welcoming and helpful. Great showers.

We spent a lovely few days with young children at the barns. The children loved the barn location and well-equipped play areas. It was a really handy base for exploring nearby beaches and coastline. Karen was ever so helpful and the welcome pack was a lovely surprise on our arrival. We were very comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Friendly and relaxed atmosphere so brilliant for us in the quiet spring period
Hosts vey helpful and available if needed
Some running repairs needed such as the upstairs shower leaked in to room below. Just a touch of sealant needed.
May be some of the furniture a bit tired.
But everything you could think of was available. Home from home

Very nice barn in a wonderful, quiet location. Ideal for families, since children have plenty of space to play in the garden. The host family was so kind, they organised an Easter egg hunt for all the children. Fantastic beaches and coastal walks around the corner.

The cleanliness of the cottage was to a good standard particularly in the bathrooms. The fluffy bathroom towels were to a luxury standard and there was plenty of them. The bathroom toiletries were a nice touch too.

The open storage in the kitchen area did mean that everything we used we had to clean first due to dust and cobwebs. Unfortunately, some of the baking trays still contained grease on them which meant we had to give them a good scrub and also we couldn’t get the toaster to work which we think is broken. That said the kitchen was very well equipped with plenty of crockery.

The living room furniture was very worn. The ripped sofa could do with replacing as could some of the dining room chairs.

The duvets, pillows and bedding were clean and comfortable.

The one area that wasn’t actually very nice was when we opened the velux window on the landing ( which had not been opened for a while ). We had a complete invasion of flies which wasn’t pleasant at all. We are aware that this comes with the territory of living in the country but the volume of flies was unbearable. My husband went out to get fly spray which then had the added disadvantage of dead flies dropping on us throughout the day and evening ( even landing whilst we were preparing food ). We do feel that this does require attention – we are not sure if there is something decomposing around the roof /window area.

We had no contact from the owner / representative at all during our stay or even when we departed. So I assume they were very hands off which was fine for us. I guess if we needed anything we had to call the number in the book.

The layout of the accommodation worked well for us as we were two families holidaying together so it was easy sharing the two cottages and for this reason we would recommend this property to others looking for the same.




Karen Loo replied more than 1 year ago
Dear Tracey Thank you for your review and I'm glad you enjoyed your stay with us. With regard to the problem with the flies, it is not due to any rotting food but as you say it is because we live in the country. They are cluster flies which hibernate in roof spaces and around window frames. We had done a thorough treatment the week before your stay with the fly killer and smoke bombs and were confident that we had removed them all. Historically we have not had an issue in this barn. Unfortunately as the weather was very cold just prior to your arrival more must have come in off the fields. I appreciate that it is not a pleasant experience but as you made no mention of it during your stay, we were unable to rectify this along with any other problems. As you were aware we were actually away ourselves for the first 2 days of your stay but you had both my email address and phone number to contact me. We are not hands off and are happy to resolve any problems as soon as we are notified of them to ensure that the stay is as enjoyable as possible. Kind regards Karen

An absolutely lovely cottage situated less than 10 minutes drive from the Newgale Beach. It is situated in a quiet area. I took my two children and they loved the cottage and play area outside. There is also a fire place and facilities to barbeque. The Grain Store has a lot of character with the choice of deco. There is also wifi which was of good connection. Local supermarket is within 20 minutes drive. Karen was very approachable and quick to respond to our queries. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

We booked the Grain Store together with the Cart House for a family celebration. The Barns were all we had hoped for. The conversions have been very well done with clever engineering to make the Barns very Green. The Grain Store is notable for the wide range of old artefacts adorning the walls. The location, rural but near enough to beaches and towns, is ideal. Karen and Jeff, the owners, are very friendly and efficient but not intrusive in any way. We all enjoyed our stay.

A beautifully clean and well appointed barn set in stunning countryside. I loved the eclectic mix of antique and contemporary furniture. The barn was really warm and cosy and the owners had equipped it with everything one needs to enjoy their holiday. The kitchen was home from home - lots of equipment and gadgets. The linen and towels lovely and crisp and white, together with really nice toiletries/bath products. The owners Karen and Jeff were great hosts and attentive to any requests. Asherton House Eco Barns are perfect for all ages and family groups - excellent location, only 15 mins. from nearest beach.

Thank you - we would love to come back!

Kitchen and living area had all we needed. Very comfortable setting in living area. Showers and bathrooms were clean new modern and great highly praised. The only down side was the Antique beds are too short and small for a big guy of 6 foot 3 inches All in all a great week and 5 sunny days out of 7 was not a bad outcome

We spent two weeks at The Grain Store and enjoyed our time there. The tranquil location was just what we were after. Our kids (7 and 4) loved the play area and there was plenty of space to kick a ball, fly a kite and run around. There's also plenty to do in the area.

The owners were welcoming and helpful. We had a problem with the washing machine and they came and sorted it out the next day.

The negatives were that the mattress on the upstairs bed was past its comfortable life and needs to be replaced. Also, a lot of the kitchen crockery, glasses, utensils etc needed washing before we could use them because they and the shelves they were on were dusty and / or greasy. There's also a big American style fridge-freezer that's quite old consequently noisy when it's running.

We had to go during school holidays so it didn't feel like particularly great value. We'd recommend this as a place to stay but during the cheaper times of the year.

We had a lovely week staying at The Grain Barn. Despite having 4 other barns within close proximity, it felt very peaceful. The grounds were great with fields surrounding a very large garden with excellent childrens playground. The playground had toys for toddlers and a fort and zip liner for older children. Jeff and Karen are on site for adice if needed.
It is an easy drive to the charming village of Solva, Newgale beach and St Davids, plus easy access to the numerous Pembrokeshire coastal walks. Highly recommended.

We spent a week in the cottage with three generations of our family from 81 to 9 from the very active to limited mobility, the Eco Barns has something for everyone. Everything was as portrayed on the Internet plus the kitchen was well-equipped for cooking, the adventure playground was a hit with the kids and the location wonderful. I concentrated so much to ensure that the cottage was good for my mother after her hip operation - I missed that the beds had foot-boards - not so good for my husband who is 6ft 5 - but Karen and Jeff immediately sorted a bed out for him!!

This is a great place for a family holiday, although you'll definitely need your own transport as it's off the main roads, but that makes it peaceful and gives a real feeling of getting away from it al in a lovely rural setting. It's not far from fantastic beaches, walks, boat trips and the lovely little city of St. David's. The Grain Store was fine for 5 adults if one doesn't mind sleeping in what would sometimes be a children's room. It's very well equipped and comfortable. We had our own barbeque, and there were playthings for children. Our hosts were helpful and welcoming and there when we needed them. We'd go there again.
