Manor Castle

Manor Castle is a medieval walled property, some 900 years old. One of few private homes available for letting, it is at the mouth of a wild valley by the sea in Pembrokeshire, Wales.

Across the way is the isolated old church and beyond the outer bailey is the village. This has a shop and the Castle Arms pub with fire and good beer. A nearby small hotel has a good restaurant. This magnificent section of coast has cliff walks and a sandy beach a hundred yards below the castle. The seaside town of Tenby is a few miles east, and Pembroke a few miles west.

There is a lot to see and do in the area, but most will want to spend as much time as possible in the manor castle.

Once through the outer bailey, you pick up the keys to the great gate of the inner bailey & to the house built against the walls.

The entrance is up steps to a large sitting room, looking over the bailey. This room has good quality furniture, high ceilings, and long window seats. TV & video. The open fire can not be used. A flying walkway leads to a room with king sized double bed in the mediaeval gatehouse, with its own shower room and a WC in the thickness of old walls. At the other end of the sitting room are two pretty, newly redecorated bedrooms, and two new bathrooms, one en suite. One has twin beds, the other a double bed. Stairs go up to an attic twin bedded room or down to the dining room, with a fine table (seats 12).

French windows lead to a private high walled garden with the chalet placed within high walls at the end. The chalet has twin beds, bunks, and shower room. Although with electric heating - the chalet is not up to the standard of the main house. The kitchen has vinyl floor, modern units, & breakfast table. Electric range style cooker, microwave, 2 fridges, freezer, dishwasher.

The utility has sink, washing machine, drier. Garden WC. Oil fired central heating. Patio area & garden furniture. Since there are walls and towers, children should be supervised outside the house.
