Directions

Approaching the property from the east or south, head towards Mathry on the A487. Proceed past the village and head west on the A487 towards St Davids. As you enter the small community of Square and Compass, take the first right just after the village sign. Follow this country lane as it heads north towards the coast for just under a mile. When you reach a tight hairpin bend, turn left onto the rough driveway that heads north. Take the second driveway to the left that is signposted for The Carthouse.

Proceed on this driveway, crossing a cattlegrid and a field, until you reach a small collection of farm buildings. Proceed straight ahead, crossing another cattle grid you arrive outside The Carthouse.
