- Sleeps 4
- Barn
Thoughtfully designed, dog-friendly property in Pembrokeshire, awarded 5* by Visit Wales
Cedar at The Long Barn offers a super-stylish place to stay in Pembrokeshire that’s eco-friendly, family-focused, and dog-welcoming. Set in nine acres of grounds on the outskirts of Haverfordwest, you're well located for adventures in all directions. Head north to the Preseli Hills, south to Tenby, and west for the quickest route to the beaches of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
The bright and spacious holiday home has two en-suite bedrooms and comes complete with underfloor heating, a wood-burning stove, and a stylish dog den that fits perfectly under the stairs. From the large open-plan living space, open the bi-fold doors to the front garden, with a fire pit. At the rear, is a covered enclosed patio and BBQ area. Meanwhile, the bottle-green kitchen has everything you need, including a Smeg induction range cooker and a four-seater dining table. Upstairs, discover a double bedroom with a roll-top bath and an enclosed shower, while the second is configurable as two singles or a super king.
Cedar is extremely comfortable and beautifully appointed – you may be sleeping in a barn, but it’s one that’s been almost completely rebuilt, with sustainability and style in mind. Indeed, it's virtually zero-carbon, with heating and hot water provided by a ground-source heat pump using electricity from renewable energy suppliers and solar panels.
Enjoy wandering the site’s nine acres of woodland, fields and ponds – if you bring your dog, they'll no doubt love exploring, with the peaceful setting meaning it's safe and calm. Owners Karen and Rob have also mapped out a circular walk around their land, so you’re welcome to do that, as well as venture further afield. Haverfordwest is close by, and it’s only 15 minutes to Broad Haven’s sandy beach in the heart of the Pembrokeshire National Park and the Wales Coast Path. Half an hour can take you to Tenby, Saundersfoot or St David’s – in fact, pretty much all the county is easily reachable.
Back at Cedar after a day adventuring, use the outdoor dog shower to rinse off muddy or sandy paws, and enjoy an al fresco meal in the garden on warm evenings, or inside on colder ones.
It's worth noting the lovingly converted Long Barn comprises Cedar and Zinc. You can hire them individually, or together if you're a larger group of up to 10.

The Owner Says
We moved to Pembrokeshire nearly 30 years ago and never want to leave such a beautiful place. The Long Barn (split into Cedar and Zinc) was created by ourselves from a run down derelect barn on our smallholding. It was rebuilt sustainably, with a ground source heat pump sited under our water meadow, repurposed corrugated zinc used for feature walls and fencing and old timbers used to create doors, shelving and tables. With a love of design, Karen designed all the interior and exterior spaces, featuring vintage finds and showcasing special family items. You will find glass lamp shades, Singer sewing machine, copper coal scuttle and old brass dinner gong from grandparents. Vintage items have been repurposed imaginatively: a milk cooler as a lamp, wooden tool boxes as side tables, a gas bolier as a plant stand and a large gear wheel as a chandelier. Outdoors is a very important part of Pembrokeshire life, so both barns feature a fully enclosed garden with a covered bbq area for family time, even in inclement weather.
Guests are welcome to use the 9 acres of grounds that we have developed over the years. There is a large pond/lake, with seating and picnic bench beside. The trees and shrubs we have planted are maturing nicely, with many unusual varieties such as tulip tree, red oak, great white cherry and swamp cypress. Planting has been developed to create interest all year round, with spring bulbs, wild flowers and autumn shrubs and trees with excellent autumnal colour. We have created a circular walk around the pond, alongside the stream and through the meadows and woodland. There is always something to see or hear. You might be lucky to see the kingfisher, buzzards or red kites, or even to enjoy the bats come evening time - we have a bat detector that you are welcome to borrow!
Karen misses the children, now they have left home, so she enjoys making treats for guests welcome instead. You might have lavender shortbread, rosemary and garlic jelly, lavender and oat bath soak and mint and parsley dog treats, all featuring products from our garden. She enjoys displaying seasonal flowers from the garden too in old vintage bottles and stoneware pots.
Our love of Pembrokeshire and Wales is shared too, with a coffee table book of Pembrokeshire scenes from local photographer Drew Buckley and local art work on the walls. Hopefully, by the time you leave, you'll love Pembrokeshire and our little slice of paradise too!
