Welcome To Rogeston Cottages

Our Cottages are in Wales in the beautiful county of Pembrokeshire.

The Pembrokeshire Coastal National Park in South West Wales starts at the top of Rogeston Cottages lane, in the parish of Nolton, our nearest beach is Druidstone Haven one and a half miles away.

CASTLES.Pembrokeshire seems to have a castle or hill fort in every field. Pembroke castle is probably the largest, Pointz castle probably the smallest (aledgedly built for a mistress but now sadly only a mound of earth remains) a few are still occupied by the owners but most can be a fasinating day out.  

Picton castle and gardens,Manorbier,Carew, Haverfordwest, Cilgerran and Castell Henllys Iron Age Fort all have a story to tell.

Skomer Island and Ramsey Island are wildlife and wildflower havens, Skomers comical Puffins can be seen from April to the end of July.Both islands are a short boat trip from the mainland. Longer boat trips around the coast are available.

Horse-riding, Angling, Canoe trips, visiting Gardens, Galleries, Museums, Restaurants/pubs and indeed walking the fabulous Coastal Path are just a few of things to do.   St. Davids Cathedral is a must.   Doing nothing is also an option.

We took up residence at Rogeston,along with our two children and assorted family pets, in 1974.   Thus began the sometimes arduous task of converting the old ramshackle 7 acre smallholding into what has become a distinctive group of cottages.

The extensive gardens and fields with an assortment of ducks, hens and cows adds to the charm of this unspoilt country setting.

Rogeston is tucked away in the far West of the old county of Pembrokeshire, on a delightfully obscure country lane amongst a maze of minor roads.

In 1984 we were the first cottages in Wales to receive a commendation from the Royal Institute of  British Architects for “recognition of an outstanding example of current architecture and thereby achieving public appreciation of good architectural design”. We were also delighted to receive a landscaping award from the Wales in Bloom Foundation in 1985.

The cottages and the “Old Granary” are located around a beautifully landscaped old cattle yard. Banks of heather, rose bushes and shrubs create a most attractive centrepiece. All around the grounds, among the stone walls and grasslands, the colour and scent of wild flowers are much in evidence.

Most of the accommodation is within a long row of buildings divided into 5 self-contained cottages. With the picturesque names of Heather, Little Rogeston, Coach House, The Stables and Elderberry, each cottage also has its own private patio and garden area with tables and benches.
