The property is located in the village of Freshwater East. The Green-Coast award- winning Freshwater East beach is only a short, wood-lined walk or drive away and is one of only a few local beaches that has no dog restrictions. One of the best in Pembrokeshire, it is a vast golden beach with sand dunes, giving you and the family plenty to explore. Freshwater East is situated just 3.5 miles away from Pembroke, which offers a selection of dog friendly shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants along with its famous castle. Pembroke Castle is a must visit while in the area and has a selection of events scattered throughout the year to keep you entertained. If you enjoy being outdoors, there are plenty of coastal paths to explore in Pembrokeshire - with walks and distances to suit all. Head over Stackpole Quay, just 3 miles from the property, and take the coast path along to the stunning Barafundle Bay.

As you enter the property you are welcomed into a hallway with room to store shoes and coats. The open living and dining space is at the front of the property, making the most of the countryside views. The lounge benefits from a three-seater sofa and armchair centred around the Smart TV. The light and airy space is perfect to unwind together after a day at the beach or exploring the area. There is a dining table for four to enjoy your meals or to simply catch up with a cup of coffee and plan out your next trip. The contemporary kitchen has been equipped with an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, and Nespresso coffee machine plus all the other necessities required to cook up a delicious meal or a hearty breakfast to start your day. Down the corridor, there are two bedrooms - 1 standard super-king room and the other is a super-king zip-and-link bed (that can be made up as a twin room on request). Both rooms benefit from ample storage for your clothes and provide a tranquil space for a good night's rest. Completing the property is a shower room with a freestanding shower, sink, and WC.

Externally, the property benefits from a generous, enclosed private garden and patio area with garden furniture and BBQ. It’s a lovely spot to enjoy dining al fresco overlooking the mature garden. The garden boasts unspoilt countryside views, with the sea as the background.
