Countryside Escape | Pool, Sauna & Spa facilities

Summary:

Birch Cottage by Salt & City Stays is a charming converted stone outbuilding nestled beside an 18th-century courtyard, once the heart of Scolton Home Farm. Inside, the open-plan layout combines rustic elegance with modern comfort, showcasing exposed wooden beams and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The fully equipped kitchen includes an electric oven, gas hob, fridge/freezer, and microwave, perfect for cooking up memorable meals in this thoughtfully maintained retreat.



The Space:

The large lounge offers cosy sofas perfect for snuggling up and watching the smart TV after a full day exploring all that Pembrokeshire has to offer. Upstairs, there is a double and a twin bedroom, along with a bathroom equipped with a bath and an overhead shower.



The cottage also benefits from the outdoor seating area in the courtyard, complete with a picnic table where you can enjoy summer evenings watching the sun go down over this historic location and the Plumstone Mountain, along with a lovely view over the duck pond.



The swimming pool, sauna, and gym are all available for guests to use, or why not treat yourself to a relaxing treatment in the on-site spa?



Scolton Cottages is a great place for children; whether it's playing in the adventure playground, firing shots into the football goal, or exploring the extensive grounds and activities in Scolton Manor estate next door, there are loads to keep young ones busy while you sit back and relax.



EV charging is available on request and subject to an additional charge.

Other Things to Note:

The property is part of a charming complex with 10 cottages, all available for individual or group bookings. For larger gatherings, you can book multiple cottages by contacting Tom and the team at Salt & City Stays. Despite the shared amenities, the cottages maintain a tranquil and private atmosphere, ensuring a peaceful retreat even when other cottages are occupied.



Please note our home is part of a relaxed, family-friendly resort community, and we kindly ask all guests to respect the peaceful surroundings and our neighbours throughout their stay. The property is ideal for quiet getaways, spa breaks, and quality time with friends or family, but it is not suitable for parties or disruptive behaviour. To ensure everyone can enjoy the setting, we ask that noise is kept to a considerate level at all times, particularly during the evening.



The property is accessed via self-check-in, but if you plan to arrive after 8 pm, please let us know so we can ensure lights are on for you!
