Fall head over paws for this lovely five-bedroom property in the leafy village of Penally, just outside the popular seaside resort of Tenby. Penally’s dune-backed sand and shingle beach is great for dogs to burn off some energy and gives you direct access to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. To get you inspired for bracing walks along the clifftops, listen to the stirring sounds of the waves from the property’s garden.
The owner’s paintings adorn the walls, making the L-shaped open-plan living area feel very homely and welcoming. Watch TV in front of the coal effect gas fire in the lounge or read a book from the collection provided. A large oak table forms the centrepiece of the dining area, where fun-filled family meals will leave you howling with laughter. There’s a twin bedroom on the ground floor, as well as a shower room that’s handy for cleaning off sand after a day at the beach. The rest of the bedrooms are upstairs, including a bunk room for the kids and a master suite that looks out across the oldest links golf course in Wales. Outside, the spacious enclosed garden is a safe haven for the pups and little ones to play while you enjoy a spot of sunbathing or glass of wine.
With its picturesque harbour, narrow cobbled streets and amazing beaches, Tenby has lots to prick those ears up. For history buffs and those with a nose for adventure, there are castles at Manorbier (4 miles) and Pembroke (10 miles) to explore. Elsewhere, Heatherton Country Park (3 miles) has a fantastic agility course to keep your four-legged friends entertained, as well as bumper boats, high-speed go-karts and escape rooms for the rest of the family.
