    Beautiful farm house that was warm and a real pleasure to stay at. We had a very late arrival and this was no problem. A full English breakfast and the rooms were amazing. We will definitely be back.

    Everything was amazing, very polite and helpful, everything was clean, cosy bed, breakfast was lovely.
  • Emma
    United Kingdom United Kingdom
    Breakfast was excellent- tasty, hot and good quality produce. One small observation is that it was quite restrictive in the times served and choice is somewhat limited for longer stays.
  • Richard

    The views were amazing. Breakfast was excellent and a good quality. There is a nice lounge, for those that want to use it. The cats were very friendly too😁.

Meg & Jaap van Soest
The Old Vicarage was built in 1907 and still retains many of the wonderful original Edwardian features. We have sympathetically renovated the house so that those features still shine through, with a touch of contemporary in our furnishings. The property is situated on a hill that looks across the valley towards the sea, in the summer especially the sunsets over the bay are beautiful. Luckily for us and our guests we are in a beautifully remote location but not really very far (10 mins by car) from either Newport (with big beach, lots of fabulous pubs and restaurants and interesting independent shops and galleries) or Cardigan & St Dogmaels which are slightly bigger but with plenty to keep you occupied.
Meg grew up in Pembrokeshire and has enjoyed a long career history in hospitality. This experience has been invaluable in the creation of The Old Vicarage B&B and has allowed them to jump in with both feet. Jaap who is originally from the Netherlands has lived in Pembrokeshire for over 14 years, by trade he runs a carpentry and joinery company but you can often find him in the kitchen helping out or out on his bike training for Iron Man Wales. Both Meg and Jaap enjoy spending time exploring in the great outdoors with their three children and what better base to use than The Old Vicarage.
We love were we live. We're a little bias but the North Pembrokeshire countryside is breathtaking, craggy cliffs meet rolling sand dunes, wild moors meet ancient forests and there is so much to do and explore whatever the weather. We particularly enjoy cycling, running and swimming in the sea. One of our favourite pastimes is finding fabulous places to eat, and we're never disappointed as locally there are lots of wonderful places to eat from delicious stone baked pizza on the River Teifi to more refined dining in Llysmeddyg, Newport. There is always something to do here whether it be walking, cycling, kayaking or catching a boat in Cardigan Bay to spot the dolphins just to name a few. There are always wonderful things for kids to go to, including but not limited to lots of great beaches! We'll help you plan a perfect holiday full of activities whatever it is you're interested in.
