ART AND ACCOMMODATION
AT HAROLDSTON HOUSE
Run by artist/editor Ian and architect/ceramicist Maria, this gorgeous Georgian townhouse, and its former donkey stable, lie in Pembrokeshire’s most picturesque harbour village of Solva. Just a few minutes’ walk down the hill to the restaurants, pubs and shops of Solva, as well as the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, we are the ideal holiday base from which to explore the St Davids Peninsula and North Pembrokeshire. We offer short-break self-catering accommodation, throughout the year.
SOLVA STYLE
Our Stable Studio in the garden is decorated in contemporary style, with natural slate flooring, inspired colours and modern furniture mixed in with mid-century classics – from Starck to Jacobsen, and G Plan to Alessi.
ART HOUSE
We love art, and in the public areas of the house we seek to showcase the work of 20th-century Welsh and Wales-based artists – including Graham Sutherland and John Knapp-Fisher – as well as those of contemporary visual artists living and working in Pembrokeshire today, including owners Ian McDonald’s prints and Maria Jones’ ceramics.
COMPLIMENTARY BREAKFAST PROVISIONS
To ease you into your holiday, and before you head out to explore the wonderful, local Pembrokeshire produce, we provide you with ‘starter breakfast’ provisions in your fridge tailored to your specific dietary requirements.

The Stable Studio
The Stable Studio, in the garden of Haroldston House, has been created out of its former 18th-century stable and pigsty. The last occupant was the local baker’s donkey, who delivered bread around Solva. It is extremely bijou (photos are taken with a wide-angle lens!) – at just 25 sq.m. It has its own dedicated parking space with a 3-pin EV charging point.
The feel of the room is very much that of a studio in the garden. The white space with slate floors is full of art in blues and greens; we think it’s the most stylish stable in Solva!
