IF you’re dreaming of going somewhere picturesque and peaceful, there’s a certain stunning cottage calling your name.
Residing in one of Wales‘ beautiful peninsulas, the white-washed home – known as Bwthyn Trehilyn – is incredibly popular for holiday bookings.
This isn’t only because it boasts six bedrooms, scenic views and the perfect step away to disconnect from the hubbub of busy, daily life.
It just so happens to be owned by a famous TV star.
Comedian, actor and television presenter Griff Rhys Jones took ownership of the now-beautiful cottage when it was in a rather derelict state.
It was once part of a collection of stone properties that collectively formed a working Pembrokeshire farm.
But now Bwthyn Trehilyn is enjoying a new lease of life as a holiday rental, thanks to becoming the fifth property renovated by Griff.
Under the Thatch, a company who curate collections of the most refined holiday homes in Wales, announced Bwthyn Trehilyn as the top-selling accommodation for 2025.
Visitors adored the charm of the building, as well as its thoughtfully updated interiors including its adjoining servants’ wing, a former mill, and a granary.
Interior designers did their best to keep some of the interior’s original character, incorporating vintage furniture relevant to the period and restoring wooden ceiling beams.
Though one of the main sells for travellers was its location, being only a short walk away from the Abermawr beach.
The beach features a private lake, ideal for watching a stunning rural sunset melt into the water or an evening of fishing.
It only took a stroll through the area back in 2004 for Griff to decide he just had to snap up the cottage and return it to its former beauty.
