My 60th
We had a lovely time at this beautiful house. There were rooms enough for everyone, and rooms for dancing and cosying up by the fire along with a bar and outdoor spaces in the magnificent gardens.
Shower gel and a hairdryer would have made our stay perfect but I would highly recommend Chrissie's beautiful home for a holiday. We were only 25 minutes away from the sea and the sand and big skies.
Thank-you!

Wonderful large house in the Welsh countryside
A group of friends and I had a great week at Penty - a very good size, with plenty of ground floor rooms to spread out and relax in plus a well maintained large garden to expand to when the weather permits.
The owner, Chrissie, was very friendly and helpful in the run up to the stay.

Perfect group getaway for families
Spacious house in quiet, beautiful area with numerous beaches 30 minutes away. Perfect location for three families of four (kids aged 8-13), with large grounds. Wonderful coastal walks close by, complete with cafe stops for tea and welsh cakes. Chrissy, the owner was very helpful and friendly - providing great advice on places to visit.

Wonderful house and garden for a large family Christmas get-away
Huge bedrooms and a suite of different purpose day-rooms, including an amazing dining room to accommodate us all, a quiet snug in which some could escape to read or work, and the huge main living room. The Christmas decorations added a welcoming personal touch. We all, especially the dogs, loved the space of the gardens and the kitchen area. Altogether it made for a relaxing and informal week that was still very special and will stay in our memories for a long time.
I'd never used an aga before, but experimentation paid off and the Christmas turkey was a big success. There were plenty of rings and warming ovens to cook and keep all the trimmings ready for service.
The surrounding area is of course full of fresh air and beauty, whilst the cathedral and bishops palace at St Davids are not to be missed. It was too damp and muddy for comfortable local exploration so we stuck to the coasts for our walks, but there is so much to see and do!
Thank you Chrissie for allowing us to stay in your glorious house!
