The lodge is described as luxurious, homely, and comfortable by most guests. However, some guests experienced issues with the hot tub temperature and other minor discomforts.

About this property
Nestled on the outskirts of Narberth, a bustling town in Pembrokeshire, is this fabulous single-storey dwelling, 1 Hornbeam Lodge, situated on a golf-course. Complete with a private veranda and garden, housing a hot tub, open-plan living, and a welcoming interior, the lodge is the ideal retreat for friends, families, and couples, looking to escape to the rural countryside. Arriving at the spacious open-plan living space, here you can look forward to relaxing in front of the electric fire, whilst spending some quality time together discussing your daily adventures. The contemporary kitchen, fitted with sleek white units and worktops, and state-of-the-art appliances offers the ideal space to rustle up delicious meals, possible to enjoy around the dining table with a well-deserved glass of wine. Once you’ve cleared up, step out to your very own outdoor space, enveloped by the countryside, ideal for a babbling soak in the hot tub, before heading indoors to refresh in the generously-sized bathroom. Retire to one of the two bedrooms on offer, both well-presented, including a double with TV and en-suite shower room, and a twin, where you can make yourself at home after a fun-filled day. Heading into Narberth you’ll find an array of traditional eateries, and a selection of shops and supermarkets to ease your self-catered stay. A short journey from the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, stretching across 186 miles, enjoy far-reaching views across the coastline whilst taking a walk across the golden sandy terrain or perhaps taking to the water for some water sports. On your travels, be sure to visit some of the county’s landmarks, including Pembroke Castle, where Henry VII resided, or if you’d prefer an adrenaline filled day out, head to Oakwood Theme Park with thrilling rollercoaster rides, or Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo, with many farmyard animals, games, and fair rides to enjoy, whilst Skomer nature reserve is rich with bird life. Experience all of this, and more, at 1 Hornbeam Lodge.
With its many distinctive stores, including upscale boutiques, specialty delis, and one-of-a-kind gift shops, the thriving town of Narberth is a treat to explore. Additionally, there are a variety of restaurants, bistros, and pubs in and around the town. Numerous performances, plays, and events are held in Queen's Hall, Narberth's premier cultural and arts facility, throughout the year. The harbour and seaside towns of Tenby and Saundersfoot are nearby, and the entire county of Pembrokeshire beckons. You can also visit secluded sandy beaches like the renowned Barafundle Bay for a peaceful restful day or go for an energising stroll along the Pembrokeshire Coast National Path.

All facilities were up to standard. Quiet and peaceful. Enjoyed our stay. Owner contacted us which gave us the opportunity to seek help if needed. Wasnât sure about the hot tub which we didnât need or use. Maybe should have been advised to switch off if not using - save energy. Many thanks
