Haroldston Farmhouse

This is our 10th season operating our large self catering holiday cottage, in rural Pembrokeshire, just outside of Haverfordwest.  The cottage is a traditional stone-built 17th century Welsh Farmhouse, with a Victorian wing. We enjoy a central location which makes the whole of this wonderfully diverse county easily accessible.

We are quite new to this ‘blogging’ business, so if you have any hints or tips, they would be gratefully received!  Also see the beginnings of our Pembrokeshire reviews.  Anything that you can add would be wonderful.

During last August we had an addition to our menagerie – a trio (2 hens and a cock) of Cream Legbar chickens.  They are a rare breed and have the distinction of laying very attractive blue eggs. This is them on their first night, looking a bit nervous.  However, they soon settled in and blended with the rest of the flock.

Nero - Late September

Nero, the Legbar cock, has grown into a big handsome boy. Up until now (touch wood), there hasn’t been any ‘agro’ between Nero and our resident bantam cock, Greg. Perhaps Greg has sensibly recognised his limits?

Greg the Bantam Cock

One of our bantam hens is sitting on a clutch of assorted eggs, including some blue ones,

so we are looking forward to some pretty chicks in the early summer. Hopefully, Nero will be their dad (no offence Greg).
