Cresselly is one of those fortunate houses that has been able to open to the public without having to run even the risk of spoiling what so many appreciative people come to see during the short summer spell when it is open to the public. This endows it with a charm that makes it very special indeed.

Staying at Cresselly:

For the remainder of the time it takes guests, who stay in the varied and beautiful bedrooms where comfort and space are paramount. Rooms are en-suite or have a private bathroom, and comfortable bathrobes and huge fluffy bath towels are standard. All enjoy tranquil and rural views over the park and farm lands and at night wooden shutters banish the outer darkness. Regal and highly effective plumbing takes care of personal comfort with baths that accommodate all shapes and sizes.

Whimsical touches remind guests that this is a private home, not a hotel, and a choice of beds from the four poster Green Room to single or doubles ensures there's something to suit all tastes. In the morning a good country breakfast is served in the elegant dining room, or if you prefer a less formal setting the kitchen is relaxed and homely.

Cresselly was built in an age when people liked their space and both the library and drawing room reflect this approach. Virtually the whole house has been decorated in a style that ranges from vibrant to soothing, using a range of colours that would have been all the rage in the 1700s, and of which Robert Adam would surely have approved.

Walking, painting, observing in the grounds are likely to provide rich rewards for those who are content with landscape as it is, which in truth could hardly be more beautiful. Bookings can be for short or longer periods.

Visiting Cresselly:

In 2011 the house will be open to the public from 4th - 31st July, from 10am to 1pm. Groups are welcome at other times by arrangement. Weddings and conferences are also likely to find that Cresselly's charms are beguiling beyond the point of resistance.

The surrounding countryside on a wider basis offers a wealth of history, fine buildings, outstanding coastline, and charm at every turn. Cricket is a major preoccupation in this part of Pembrokeshire.

An opportunity to visit or stay at Cresselly, one of life's discreet and totally real delights, is one that should not under any circumstances be missed, but find out all about it on their Website.

Your Reviews of Cresselly

Mel McQueen (12 May 2011)

What can I say? Except a huge thank you for looking after us so well on Friday night. We all had a blast. It was such good fun and a great start to our weekend. Your house is fantastic, the bedrooms and bathrooms were amazingly comfortable with everything one could possibly need. Our only complaint is that we couldn't stay in bed longer on Saturday morning and not had to dash off so early! It was really kind of you to ferry some of our party up to Val Rees's - well beyond the call of duty, but nonetheless much appreciated. The pub is just as I remember it - bloody good craic! Please also pass on our thanks to Kate who provided the most delicious breakfast (proper sausages and bacon!) and with a sense of humour - not easy at that time in the morning. It goes without saying we will all be recommending you to all our friends and if we are ever down your way again, we will most definitely come and stay again. Hope we didn't leave too much of a trail of destruction in our wake! Oh yes, the rest of our weekend on Skomer was fantastic too, the Welsh weather was particularly kind to us! Thank you. Mel
