Experience the charm of a traditional whitewashed cottage for four, with far-reaching views along the Cleddau Valley towards the Preseli Hills. Just 2 miles from Fishguard town, it combines farmhouse-style interiors and a glowing wood burner with a patio garden made for BBQ’d feasts after days spent on the sunny Pembrokeshire coast.
Step into the bright kitchen/diner/snug and put the kettle on for a brew and a Welsh cake before deciding where the evening should unfold. The farmhouse-style kitchen is ready for cooking with locally caught seafood that was picked up around Fishguard, while the main lounge has vintage details, deep seating and a wood burner for the cooler nights. From here, patio doors lead straight into the garden so that meals can be moved outside with the BBQ going and a drink in hand. Upstairs, a king-size bedroom and flexible twin zip-and-link room suit couples, friends or a small family, with a bathroom nearby and a second shower room downstairs.
When you are ready to explore, pull on your walking boots and head for the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, where the rugged scenery quickly opens out towards the sea. Fishguard (2 miles) is divided between Lower Town by the harbour and the main town above, with plenty of places to stop for something to eat along the way. Its 18th-century fort is a reminder of the area’s long maritime history and the coast’s need for protection from raiders. Abercastle (7.5 miles) offers another glimpse into the past, with a 1-mile walk to Carreg Samson leading you to a Neolithic burial chamber above the shoreline. For time on the water, drive 11 miles to Newport Sands for surfing, or head to Abereiddi Blue Lagoon for a coasteering adventure in one of Pembrokeshire’s most distinctive coastal settings.
