Rolo's Retreat is a converted horse lorry parked on the secluded Llety farm, with expansive views of the Pembrokeshire country side. It is self catered and can accommodate up to 4 people. There is a double bed above the cab, galley kitchen, small dining table and living space with a pull out sofa bed. The toilet and large shower facilities are located in the converted milking parlour.
For the outdoor enthusiast, there is also a warm outside shower and fire pit to cook on.

The space
Llety Farm is set back from the main Fishguard - St Davids road, via a private gravel track and therefore feels very secluded yet is close to the sea, the smallest city and the national coastal path. The farm itself has a few sheep, chickens and two friendly sheep dogs!
Rolo's Retreat is set in a small grassy area which is for the sole use of the lorry guests. It has a picnic bench and fire pit, along with a hanging pan if you want to try cooking over an open fire! For the more adventurous we have installed an outside shower taking advantage of the secluded countryside views. The milking parlour, a few steps away, has a kitchen table, chairs, fridge, freezer, hot shower and toilet and a dart board! There is an outside washing up area too, making the most of the fresh air with expansive views whilst doing the daily chores.
The lorry is off grid using a solar panel to run the lights and usb charging points.
If the weather turns chilly there is a heater to keep the space cosy and warm.

Guest access
If the sheep are in the right place there is walking/running access through our fields to the lower, quiet, country roads where you can access the National coastal path. Ask and we can show you.
You can park your car outside the milking parlour.

Other things to note
There is a local supermarket in St Davids which sells most things that you would want. You can get firewood packs for the fire, although we can provide some starter wood.

Neighbourhood highlights

Our farm is down a track away from all roads. It is very quiet with fabulous country views all around. You can watch the swallows swoop down across the fields and watch out for other wild life that is worth waiting for. Hidden badger sets, foxes, and all types of birds and butterflies.
