Eco Barn - Preseli Venture

THE ECO BARN

The sleek, light and spacious eco barn is a brand-new addition to Preseli Venture’s range of accommodation. The barn stands apart from the neighbouring Courtyard Cottages and sleeps from 4 - 8 guests across 4 bedrooms. It’s the perfect rural retreat for larger families or groups of friends or families or those wanting more of their own space.

The magic of the eco barn comes to life in the light and airy open-plan upstairs living area, with its iconic east-facing circular “rose window”, high wood-panelled ceiling and sociable spaces for relaxation and dining. Floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors leading onto a balcony area are met with corner windows, resulting in stunning panoramic views of the Northern coastline, the rocky volcanic outcrop of Garn Fawr and the Abermawr Valley. The west-facing balcony is an incredible place to take in spectacular sunsets in the evening.

LOCATION

Deep in the heart of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, Preseli Venture’s eco barn offers a spectacular setting for a memorable adventurous break.

The eco barn is a one-mile walk to the secluded, unspoilt sand-and-shingle beach of Abermawr as well as the Pembrokeshire Coast Path National Trail. Both venues offer breathtaking views of the wild North Pembrokeshire coastline, as well as the wild woodland and peaceful countryside surrounding it.
Pack your telescopes - this remotely situated accommodation lies in an official Dark Skies area of Wales, meaning it's an incredible spot for stargazing without the glare of light pollution.

The eco barn is situated just outside the village of Mathry, just 5 miles from Fishguard (where you can arrive by train) and 9 miles from the smallest cathedral city in the UK, St David’s, a famous pilgrimage destination for those seeking to explore Welsh history and legend.

Preseli Venture is conveniently located on the final stretch of Wales’ well-traversed ‘Coastal Way’, an epic 180-mile journey which stretches from the Western tip of the mountainous LLyn Peninsula to the St David’s peninsula.

Pembrokeshire’s thriving adventure scene all began with Preseli Venture back in the 80s, who, along with a handful of other local guides, pioneered the now global phenomenon of “coasteering”. For over 35 years, Preseli Venture set the bar for sustainable adventure tourism, working in harmony with the astounding wilderness of their surrounding environment and maintaining a working partnership with the National Trust and National Parks to use their nearby pristine locations for coasteering, surfing and sea kayaking adventures.

After what seems like a very, very long day at sea, Preseli Venture have finally come ashore, shed their wetsuits and closed the doors of their onsite adventure centre. They now work with an exciting range of local activity partners who they trust to bring you the same high-quality experiences:

Boat Trips
Coasteering
Surfing
Sea Kayaking
SUP Boarding
Rock Climbing
Canoeing
Rockpool Safaris
Coastal Explorer Days
