Hidden down a quiet country lane on the site of an historic Manor house dating back to the 15th Century, this is also the place where Dick Francis, legendary jockey and crime writer, first learned to ride horses! This is a pretty cottage looking towards Beggars Reach, Cosheston and the beautifully green Lawrenny Woods. Steeped in history, the Manor was valued at half a knight’s fee in the times of the Percival family. Hop Garden Cottage has been lovingly redecorated and converted to a very high standard with underfloor heating, beautiful flagstone floors, solid oak doors and a welcoming wood burner for warm and cosy evenings in. The open plan living arrangement has a range cooker and butler sink, a well-equipped kitchen with Corian work surfaces - all of which make preparing holiday meals a joy. The two bedrooms with estuary views are comfortably furnished - with excellent mattresses.
On your doorstep there are many glorious countryside and estuary walks and fabulous wildlife and a huge variety of birds. Just a mile away there is easy access to the estuary for launching boats and kayaks. Narberth is 20 minutes away with an array of restaurants, cafes, boutique shops and galleries. Narberth Museum is well worth a visit, looking at Narberth’s long and interesting history, afterwards why not treat yourself at the museum’s cafe and bookshop. The village of Lawrenny lies at the top end of the Cleddau Estuary, a peaceful, friendly village with a thriving community. Visit the beautiful St. Caradoc’s church and wander the grounds, their lovely setting has views overlooking the village and out towards the estuary. Lawrenny Quay is one of the most scenic stretches of the estuary, providing a tranquil location for boaters and walkers alike. Enjoy a drink at the waterside pub, it boasts a spacious beer garden with splendid views over the water towards Carew Castle and serves freshly prepared food and fine ales.
