Overview
Property code: 53019

This charming stone-built cottage strikes the perfect balance between the Pembrokeshire Coast and countryside. Enjoy the beaches, walks and attractions that this stunning area has to offer with the special people and pups in your life. Sleeping four humans and welcoming two hounds, everyone is invited to explore and make memories together. Spend the day leaving footprints and paw prints in the sand at one of the nearby beaches before returning to your beautiful home-from-home to relax and toast to the view from your secluded garden.

Relax on the comfortable sofas in the lounge whilst Fido basks in front of the wood burner. Head into the contemporary kitchen and rustle up a tasty meal to be enjoyed around the table in the dining area. Step outside onto the decking for after dinner coffee and treats, whilst a happy pooch explores the enclosed garden with sea views. When the day is done, say your goodnights to Rover before settling down in one of the two inviting bedrooms with whitewashed stone walls. Enjoy a morning coffee and plan the day’s adventures in the second galleried lounge, known as the crog loft, supported by the A-frame beams and offering stunning rural and coastline vistas.

Enjoy a cliff-top walk and discover the Blue Lagoon (3.5 miles), a now-flooded former slate quarry, with turquoise-clear waters. Spot seals out at sea and the thrill seekers jumping and swimming in the deep pool. Join the Pembrokeshire Coast Path at Abercastle (2.5 miles) and walk some of the 186 miles of dog-friendly trail that provides far-reaching views and maritime landscapes of steep limestone cliffs, red sandstone bays, secluded beaches and flooded glacial valleys.

Nothing wrong with the actual cottage, but even though we have a log burner at home, the log burner in the cottage was very difficult to keep going. I think maybe the flue needs a brushing?
