The Stable Studio

about the apartment

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.

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!

ACCESS

The Stable Studio is accessed through the main house, down a steep, narrow flight of stone steps and through the garden. The Stable Studio is a private space for guests, as is the garden. Access to it is through the main house and you are welcome to enjoy the public hall and stairs which are full of art and books. The washing machine and dryer are also located in the main house.

THE SPACE

It has a studio space with a king-size bed (5’3″/1.6m wide) with a medium-firm, memory-foam mattress; clothes-hanging rail; easy chairs around a coffee table; and a dining table. This room also has a Smart TV, Wi-Fi, hair dryer, central heating and a log burner. Leading off it is a mini-kitchenette with hob, combination microwave, fridge (with ice-box) and dishwasher. There is also a cafetiere and Velvetiser (for artisan hot chocolate). And off that, via a glass door, is a compact wetroom complete with rainshower.

WHAT YOU GET

Egyptian cotton bed linen and bath towels are supplied, as well as waffle bathrobes and slippers. There are tea and hand towels in the kitchenette, along with dishcloths, washing-up liquid and dishwasher tablets. There is free use of the washing machine and dryer (including washing detergent) in the main house. Wi-Fi, electricity, central heating and wood for the log burner are also included in the price.

THE GARDEN

The garden space has a firepit (with barbecue grill) and wood-fired pizza oven (we provide 2 homemade pizza bases per stay in your icebox), along with charcoal for barbecuing and kindling/logs for the pizza oven and firepit. There is also garden furniture for your use.  Help yourselves to the herbs and salads.

PARKING & BIKES

There is free parking available on the forecourt of the main house (with at 3-pin socket for free overnight charging of electric vehicles) and more in a public parking area opposite, approximately 30m up the road. Unfortunately, there is no facility for bike storage in the house or in the garden, as access to the Stable Studio is through the main house.

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 you specific dietary requirements.
