Description Stone Hall is a stunning Grade II Listed Pembrokeshire Hall with original parts thought to date c.15th century with later additions in the c.1700s. According to the book Historic Pembrokeshire Homes and their families by Francis Jones, Wales Herald at Arms: Stone Hall provides an example of a traditional residence of the older Welsh gentry, and fortunately has escaped the fate that overtook so many country houses in Pembrokeshire, mainly during the 19th century when they were transformed from modest, but adequate, accommodation into grand edifices which by today have become too burdensome to maintain... The book goes on to say that it is believed that the property was built for accommodating the household of a country gentleman mainly occupied with estate and farming concerns and local administration... and adds that Throughout, the rooms are commodious, low-ceilinged, with massive oak beams... The book records that even in it was described as a place of great antiquity...

3 Throughout its history the property has undergone a number of additions and changes and was previously used as a country house hotel before the current owners. In recent years the current owners have made extensive sympathetic refurbishments and renovations including significant roof insulation and the reintroduction of traditional lime plaster. They have refurbished large parts of the major reception rooms in a manner which blends seamlessly into the original fabric. In addition the owners have invested significantly in renewable energy to ensure the Hall is as efficient as possible, by installing a wood-fired boiler system, photovoltaic electricity cells and solar hot water panels. The property is set in idyllic and extensive mature grounds with an impressive original walled garden, a detached cottage and a range of useful outbuildings. In all, the property extends to about 7.8 acres (stms) subject to measured survey.
