Property code: 65545

A perfect seaside getaway for couples wishing to holiday with their canine companions, this charming cottage overlooks the pretty harbour at Porthclais. Beach walks are just a stick’s throw away at Porthllisky, or step onto the Pembrokeshire Coast Path for headland walks and uninterrupted views across the coastline. Spend a day at nearby St Davids (1 mile), Britain’s smallest city – visit the magnificent cathedral, browse the independent shops or enjoy local produce in one of the dog-friendly pubs and cafes.

Go barking mad for the stylish open-plan living space with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and views across the garden and countryside. Cosy up on the comfortable sofa as your hound warms his paws in front of the wood burner. Rustle up tea for two in the contemporary kitchen, not forgetting your canine companion’s supper too. When it’s time for bed, head through to the king-sized bedroom and rest your feet and paws for the night. A stylish wet-room is ideal for freshening up after a bracing walk along the headland. Outside enjoy al fresco dining on the patio while your pup sniffs out their favourite spot to snooze in the garden.

With a pebble beach within walking distance and the wide sandy beach nearby at Whitesands Bay (3 miles), there is a choice of places for ball-throwing and doggy paddles in the surf. Take your pup on a wildlife spotting boat trip from St Davids or visit Ramsey or Skomer Islands to see puffins and seals. Browse the art galleries at Porthgain (9 miles), before wandering down to the picturesque harbour and enjoying a drink in one of the dog-friendly pubs and cafes. Stroll the grounds at Hilton Court Gardens (12 miles) and enjoy a slice of homemade cake in the tearoom. Why not stop and stretch your paws en-route back at Newgale Beach (8 miles).

Cottage was very good, ( 3 in a row) although we did not know that the Farm House was also an holiday let. Looking out of the back windows you can see them as well as they can see you. There was no issues at all just a little surprised to see other holiday people at the rear. Near to Coast Path, ideal for walkers etc.

Our second stay in this beautifully converted barn. Comfortable, warm, quiet, full of character. The rooms are spacious, much larger than a typical holiday rental. Ideally placed for the amenities of St Davids and the surrounding area.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week here. What a superb location waking up to sea views every morning., hearing the sound of sheep and with spectacular views across the countryside. The cottage was spotlessly clean, well equipped, comfortably furnished and very comfy bed. It was faultless. An excellent and generous welcome pack was provided, one of the Read morebest we have had in a holiday cottage. The grounds were well kept and our dog loved playing outside. Highly recommended Thank you to the owners Hide

Quiet, peaceful, cosy, warm and comfortable. A stylish restoration of a character building. Superb views. Convenient for St Davids and other beauty spots. We have self-catered many times in Pembrokeshire, and this was the best cottage we have stayed at.
