Wild and wonderful, this honey-coloured homestead on the edge of St Dogmaels is as charming as it looks. Inside, you'll find rustic living spaces that exude warmth – it'll be hard to resist a Netflix movie night curled up in front of the roaring log burner – and we appreciate how interior bi-fold doors give you full control over the size of the living space. Home chefs can let loose in the kitchen, rustling up freshly-baked cakes and mouthwatering Sunday roasts to share around the eight-seater table. Upstairs, a soak in the lavish free-standing bathtub before bedtime is just the ticket after a long day.

Speaking of, we can't help but swoon over the verdant, lush landscape that awaits you outside. Listen to the babbling stream as you share a pitcher of Pimm's or gather around the fire pit on hazy summer evenings. It's not just grown-ups who will adore this home. Kids can while away afternoons in the loft playroom, play pretend in the treehouse, follow the fairy trail and bounce on the trampoline. With garden games and rope swings, it's perfect for little ones and the young at heart.

The village is just a short walk away, home to an award-winning farmer's market, historic abbey and the River Teifi. Just across the bridge – about a twenty-minute walk – are pubs, eateries and shops in Cardigan, while Poppit Sands, a picturesque dog-friendly beach, is forty-five minutes on foot, seven by car.

There’s a hot tub and a wood-fired sauna as well as a cold plunge tub – setting the tone for a rejuvenating stay. You can also enjoy cosy gatherings around the indoor log-burner and there are books and games to keep everyone entertained. And when it comes to activities, you can take a canoe or kayak out on the water. There are some beautiful hiking trails close by and it’s just a short drive into the centre of Cardigan.

Perched on the banks of the Teifi estuary, this renovated former sea captain's villa in southwest Wales treats guests to some spectacular waterside views. On sunny days, these can be enjoyed on the large terrace, whether that's reclining in one of the loungers, lying in the hammock or sitting around the alfresco dining area, waiting for dinner to be served off the barbecue or out of the pizza oven. However, the sparkly panorama can just as easily be appreciated from the huge windows in the open-concept kitchen-dining area or from the bedrooms. When you can prise your eyes away from the beautiful scene outside, you'll find a modern interior that integrates rustic aspects, such as exposed brickwork and a wood-burning fireplace, seamlessly. It's the sort of place you'll look forward to returning on the return leg of a long walk. If you're in need of inspiration, all you have to do is follow the Teifi — half an hour's walk west will get you to Poppit Sands Beach, while the same amount of time in the opposite direction will take you to the town of Cardigan.

With its rugged cliffs, miles of sandy beaches and hidden coves, North Pembrokeshire is a natural haven. And this cosy barn makes the perfect setting to discover the timeless beauty of the Welsh countryside.

Set on an old organic farm and surrounded by trees, the barn has been thoughtfully renovated to provide a sanctuary in the heart of nature. It’s the kind of space where you can embrace a more simple existence – one that is rich in warmth and comfort. 

From preparing breakfast in the kitchen to reading on the mezzanine, it’s easy to slow down and savour the elements that make this home special. 

Outside, you can wander through miles of beautiful countryside towards the beach or make your way into the village of Saint Dogmaels – only a twenty–minute walk. Here you’ll find a wonderful village shop, an award–winning farmers market (held weekly), ancient abbey grounds and a couple of great pubs. 

And when your bags are full of fresh, local produce you’ll love coming home for a cosy evening by the fire. 

A Wilder Place 

Nestled in the Pembrokeshire countryside, this sweet home will transport your away from everyday life. Surrounded by rolling pastures and organic farmland, it's a truly tranquil place to press pause and relax. 

The rustic wooden exterior gives way to a cosy living space that will instantly make you feel at home On chilly days, you can curl up next to the fireplace with a good movie, or an excellent book for a great night in. The kitchen is perfect for cooking up a delicious meal, made with fresh, local ingredients. And, if the weather allows, you can listen to birdsong as you eat outside in the glorious private garden. 

The coast is only ten minutes away – the dunes at Poppit Sands are a great place to paddle and picnic. Walkers can join the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, for a hike with stunning sea views. And, the charming market town of Cardigan is only twelve minutes away by car, where you can visit independent boutiques and dine on local seafood. 

Cabin Culture

Herb Garden

Leave your laptop at home, turn off your phone and enjoy the thrill of freedom from the tyranny of your gadgets as you enjoy a digital detox at this stunning getaway on the North Pembrokeshire coast.

Your eco-minded hosts built this cedar shepherd's hut with their guests' needs in mind – namely, escaping the everyday hustle and bustle and offering a chance to reconnect with nature, themselves and their partner. 

Your hosts have found space for a comfy king-size mattress despite the compact footprint. Given the lack of light pollution out here, stargazing through the skylight from the comfort of your bed is truly breathtaking. Elsewhere, the kitchenette is perfect for cooking up light bites to eat at the dining table or in the outdoor dining area.

Set within its own private garden, the outdoor space has been planted with seasonal herbs, flowers and salad, which you're more than welcome to help yourself to. In addition, a fire pit makes for atmospheric evenings in nature.

Away from the charming retreat, you're a stone's throw from the 186-mile Pembrokeshire Coastal Path and approximately six miles from both the beautiful holiday hotspot of Newport and the bustling market town of Cardigan.


Beneath a Starlit Sky

Cafetiere

Luxury Bedding

It was love at first sight when we clapped our eyes on this eco shepherd's hut, squirreled away in the sleepy village of Moylegrove along the North Pembrokeshire coastline.

With the mighty Pembrokeshire Coast National Park just a stone's throw away, this is a home to embrace the great outdoors and escape the outside world. Discover vast beaches and secluded, sandy coves just a fifteen-minute walk away. Embrace the sea with kayaking and dolphin-spotting boat trips. Or, for something a little more genteel, there are independent shops, galleries and fabulous restaurants just a short drive away in the nearby villages.

Back at home, we love the contemporary design aesthetic of this shepherd's hut, with copper and matt black accents letting the birch-clad interiors sing. A king-sized bed decked out in Egyptian cotton sheets and a rainfall shower room next door dial up the luxury. And the welcome hamper crammed with organic goodies (think fresh eggs straight from the host's hens and homemade bread) has everything you need to rustle up breakfast in the smart kitchenette. Or, let your host, Megan cook up a feast for you over at the main house.

A home for all seasons, in winter months, hunker down beside the wood-burning fire as sunsets stream through the picture windows. And in the summer months, see day turn to night beside the fire-pit (which handily doubles as your barbecue) – the stargazing is out of this world.

If you're seeking a tranquil and indulgent stay by the sea, look no further than this splendid home on the Pembrokeshire Coast. Perched above the dunes overlooking Newport Bay, this home boasts a secluded location with breathtaking views to boot. Here, you're a seven-minute stroll from the dog-friendly beach of Newport Sands, while the eighteen-hole Newport Links Golf Course is practically on your doorstep – three minutes away on foot, to be exact.

With its generous living spaces and chic design aesthetic, this home beckons you to relax in the splendour of your surroundings. We love the majestic wood-burning stove, roosted in the glass-walled sitting room. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms are dressed to the nines with Egyptian cotton linen and locally sourced Melin Tregwyn wool, while offering scenic snapshots of the coast. After a restful night's slumber, we can't think of a better way to start the day than with a generous helping of crisp, seaside air. Spend mornings roosted on the balcony, cradling a cup of coffee and admiring panoramic views of the bay, before slipping out for a bracing walk on the beach.

After a busy day exploring the coast, gather around the large dining table for a delicious feast, prepared in the fully-equipped kitchen or, if you wish, by a private chef. In the summertime, enjoy barbecued cookouts on the outdoor dining deck and huddle around the fire pit to roast marshmallows at sunset. 

Ocean Wanderer

Enjoy a cosy stay within easy reach of Cardigan Bay at this recently renovated apartment. Light, contemporary and filled with character, the one-bedroom home is a comfortable base to explore this scenic corner of Wales.

If you lean towards industrial interiors, you'll be pleased to spot the exposed brick walls and reclaimed wooden floorboards that give the living space its distinctive edge. The adjoining kitchen is bright and modern, with a dining nook that boasts views over the colourful village street below. 

Not only does this stylish apartment come equipped with everything you'll need for your stay, but it's also well placed to explore the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Situated in the pretty village of Saint Dogmaels with pubs and markets on your doorstep, you're just fifteen minutes from Cardigan's sweeping sandy beaches. Take your time as you glide along the coast and keep your eyes peeled for hidden coves nestled beneath the craggy cliffs.

Brick & Timber

Treat yourself to a stay in this beautifully appointed apartment. Situated in the heart of the quaint riverside village of Saint Dogmaels, this home places you within easy driving distance of North Pembrokeshire's alluring coastline.

Climb the stairs to uncover a stunning open-plan kitchen and living space. An exposed brick fireplace and original timber floors encircle a contemporary kitchen, stylish dining area and plenty of comfy seating. A sleek shower room lies a short way down the hall, with an inviting walk-in rain shower, with the relaxing bedroom adjacent.

There's plenty to explore in the local area, with the typically Welsh market town of Cardigan offering charming independent shops and a slower pace of life just across the River Teifi, while the dune-backed Poppit Sands Beach is just a couple of miles north. We'd encourage you to follow a small section of the stunning 186-mile Pembrokeshire Coastal Path. However, if that doesn't sound exhilarating enough, book yourself a dolphin watching trip, a coasteering expedition, or a surf lesson.

Cwmni Dau

Patio / Terrace

Swap the big smoke for the great outdoors at this converted barn, tucked away at the foot of Angel Mountain, close to the Pembrokeshire coast. 

Nestled amidst the patchwork hills of the Welsh countryside, you could feel a million miles from civilisation here –⁠ which is just how we like things. But when it’s time for a change of pace, the charming seaside town of Newport (six-minute drive) is an afternoon well spent – as is the mighty Pembrokeshire Coast National Park with its vast sandy beaches and secluded coves (eleven-minute drive).
 
Back at this quirky bolthole retreat, exposed stonework shows the bones of this barn's past, while vintage furniture and objects de art add layers of interest and heaps of style. A home for all seasons, on long summer nights, slide the bifold doors right back and stoke up the barbecue – the firepit will help keep the night flowing as a carpet of stars appear overhead. In winter months, hunker down inside and soak up the countryside vistas through the floor-to-ceiling picture windows - that snuggle seat by the wood-burning stove has got your name on it.

You'll find everything you need for a relaxing coastal retreat in this charming house, be it board games and books or ping-pong and Prime. Every inch is warm and welcoming, with cushy sofas, a crackling wood stove and a contemporary kitchen/diner ideal for rustling up homecooked meals. Upstairs, two sumptuous bedrooms promise a restful night's sleep, but what we love most is the sunlit courtyard. We think it's the perfect spot to lounge with a cup of tea or a refreshing G&T as the day draws to a close. 

Newport is a pretty market town on the north coast of Pembrokeshire, situated at the foot of Carnigli Mountain and the Preseli Hills. There's an array of eateries, including small cafes and old-fashioned pubs, within walking distance, as well as independent shops and galleries. Newport Beach isn't far – about a half-hour stroll along the coastal path – while historic sites like Pentre Ifan, Castell Henllys Iron Age Village and Nevern Castle are less than ten minutes by car.

On Gentle Tides

Safety Gates

Tucked away in a secluded valley, this cottage offers an escape from it all. Sure, its traditional style may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s well-equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. With four-legged friends welcome, this is a holiday your dogs will want to join you on with walks aplenty right from the door – and if you fancy picking up the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, it’s a ten-minute stroll away. Nearby Newport beach is perfect for a coastal day before returning home to enjoy the sunset and sea views from the terrace. 

Valley Charm

Set on the banks of the Nevern estuary, this spacious family home – with large private gardens and a seating terrace – offers the perfect Welsh break. Wake up to amazing views across the estuary. Let your four-legged friends roam free in the spacious garden and the children let off steam on sunny days, while you enjoy reading a good book on the comfy outdoor seating under the shade of the home’s awning. 

Just outside the home’s gate, you will find access straight to the estuary which leads to Newport Bay and Parrog – reachable in just twenty-three minutes on foot, which makes it ideal for a leisurely walk together. Then return home in the late afternoon for Welsh cake warmed in the Aga. 

In the evenings, cosy up on the big squashy sofa in front of the wood burner with your dog curled up at your feet as you watch your family's favourite film. Or, on warmer days head out to the patio with a gin and tonic and let the children tire themselves out for bedtime as they run around the lawns.

You can almost hear the mellow jazz playing as you walk around this sumptuous, modern home. Looking like it came straight out of the pages of Architectural Digest, this Newport pad dazzles with designer furnishings and luxurious details. Downstairs, the blue palette creates a warm welcome, with two living rooms inviting you to chill out, read and snuggle by the fire. Gather at the large kitchen  island for chats over a glass of wine while someone else prepares dinner. Or, on balmy evenings, open the bi-folding doors to the rear terrace where a barbecue tempts alfresco feasts. And then there are the swoon-worthy bedrooms upstairs. Whether you’re staying in the blush-coloured boudoir, the green jungle room, or the two trendy twin rooms, you’ll feel like you’re laying in the lap of luxury when you settle in for the night. With the sea and Carningli Mountain both just a ten-minute walk away, this spectacular home is the ideal base for exploring the Pembrokeshire coast in style.

There’s a Mountain of Angels called Carn Ingli that overlooks Newport. And perfectly situated to experience the magic of this landscape, this home welcomes guests with a sense of warmth and tradition. 

Located in the heart of the town, there's an abundance of character in this home. The cosy living area features a traditional wood fire, while the kitchen has a classic AGA and a great selection of cookery books. This is a great place to gather with friends and family. Whether it’s cooking and enjoying a lively dinner together, or finding serenity in one of the beautiful bedrooms - there’s something for everyone here.

The home is in a great location to make the most of the area. Step outside and explore the local shops, pubs and restaurants from your doorstep, or explore the spectacular countryside. For a day at the local beach - Parrog is only a nineteen-minute walk away, or wind your way along the renowned Pembrokeshire Coastal Path.

As the day draws to a close, you’ll love coming home to relax in the hot tub. Light up the BBQ and enjoy the tranquillity of the gardens with the ones you love.  

A River of Light

A tranquil country getaway in Wales, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Every day can be a new adventure of discovering what Pembrokeshire offers. Start by catching some waves on the coast and surfing. If that's not your thing, try sea kayaking – Pembrokeshire's fresh Atlantic seas, incredible coastal scenic views, and astounding variety of wildlife make it a kayaking paddler's paradise. After a day of swimming around, we recommend stopping by a cafe for some tea and Welshcakes.

You'll feel pampered when you return to your cosy home, from a welcoming living room decorated with plush sofas to polished wooden floors and a fireplace to make you feel at ease. The baby blue kitchen is gorgeous, perfect for preparing a hearty meal after a day of seaside adventures. But you have to remember to start your day stepping through the french doors into the south-facing garden with your morning mug of coffee for the brisk air.

A cabin in the woods reimagined, this home belongs in the centrefold of a magazine. Traditional wooden panelling adds a rustic feel to this home, but it's nicely contrasted with a stylish monochrome palette and huge floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook a colourful sensory garden and pond. It's easy to spend an afternoon sitting on the south-facing deck, enjoying the peace of the Welsh countryside and keeping an eye out for the swallows, swifts, ducks and frogs living their lives on the water — even an otter has been spotted in the grounds by previous guests. After a stroll among the greenery, unwind with a glass of wine in front of the log burner or head up to the snug in the mezzanine with a well-thumbed book. Venturing out, two sandy beaches, Norman castles and a few quaint cafes await in the village of Llansteffan, which can be reached in eight minutes by car. Also close by is Green Castle Woods – about a five-minute drive – which is perfect for afternoon strolls through ancient woodlands. Or, ten minutes in the opposite direction lies Carmarthen, believed to be the oldest town in Wales – head there for places to eat, drink and shop aplenty.

Although this Pembrokeshire apartment underwent a recent renovation, one thing that hasn't changed is just how peaceful the view from the balcony is, with the unmistakably blue waters of Carmarthen Bay peering through the trees. It may not be the biggest outdoor space in the world, but this seaward orientation makes up for it.

Inside, the glass doors in the main living area are especially generous when it comes to natural light and this dances pleasingly off the wooden floors and white walls. When it comes to the design, it's a pretty simple affair with only a few pieces of coastal artwork nodding to the location, but it's all been executed pretty well, particularly the sleek kitchen and bathroom.

When it comes to seeing a little more of the local area, the centre of Saundersfoot and its beach is all of five mintues' walk from the front door. The town of Tenby is also only ten minutes' drive down the coastline and offers visitors a castle and a selection of galleries to visit.

Air Conditioning

Revel in the relaxing sound of birdsong from the first-floor balcony of this eye-catching countryside lodge situated on the outskirts of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Surrounded by beautiful landscaped gardens, wildflower meadows and a tranquil lake, this property offers a fantastic opportunity to get back to nature.

Every aspect of the interior has been carefully considered in order to make the most of the compact space. Your hosts have blended modern comforts with handmade elements and elegant organic shapes to create a getaway that's as pleasing to the eye as it is for the soul. 

On the ground floor, stunning slate floors are pleasing underfoot and extend all the way outside, while gorgeous wooden cabinets in the kitchenette provide sleek storage solutions. Climb the hand-built staircase to the bedroom and you'll be rewarded with breathtaking countryside vistas from the comfort of the king-size bed and the spectacular balcony. There's a comfortable outdoor sofa, plus a table and chairs for sitting back with a glass of something cold as the sun sets below the horizon.

If can tear yourself away, enjoy easy access to the unspoiled beaches of the Pembrokeshire coast. Dale, Marloes and Newgale beaches are all within easy reach by car. If you'd rather actively explore, we highly recommend walking a section of the jaw-dropping Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, or heading into the mysterious Preseli Mountains dotted with prehistoric monuments. Finally, reward yourself with a soak in the full-size hot tub tucked away on the private veranda.

Peregrine Lodge

If being close to the ocean is your priority, this home delivers in spades. Not only is this apartment situated directly across from Tenby's North Beach, but the private patio has breathtaking views of the harbour and beyond. Morning, noon or night, there's no better spot to sit and relax, listening to the crash of the waves, observing the boats and watching the sun sink over the water. It's pure bliss, as far as we're concerned, and it's made even better by the sleek interior awaiting you in the living area. There are fun nautical elements dotted about, yet even with the seaside motif, the design never feels passe. In fact, we think the whole thing is rather smart, with a dark blue kitchen, luxe rainfall showers in the glossy bathrooms and even a wine fridge for your bottles of bubbly. When you're not at home soaking up the view or lounging on the sofa, spend your time wandering through Tenby's walled centre, admiring the colourful houses, browsing the local boutiques and dining at the many delicious eateries. And with five beaches to tickle your fancy, you'll have plenty of options when it comes to sprawling in the sand. Our favourite is Castle Beach, a five-minute walk away.

The Sweetness of Water

Make yourself a cup of tea and take it outside to your private riverside terrace, where the sound of the water cascading along the rocky riverbed and the many birds that visit it is all you need to feel content. Part of a small complex of cottages, around a central courtyard, it's set in an estate boasting more than a hundred acres of land – including hillside meadows, woodland and streams. 

The building you'll be calling home was once part of the home farm for the impressive Plas Cilybebyll Estate and was most likely stables and grooms' quarters – although some of its stone features hark back to the estate's noble history. Dive into its fascinating past and you'll spot links to the descendants of the ancient Welsh kings, the Norman invasion, Iolo Morgannwg and more. You'll even find an arrow slit in the lounge and another in the ground floor wet room wall.

Cleverly converted and architect designed, this home uses green energy and is insulated with sheep's wool. It's a surprisingly modern and comfortable home for a small family or a couple of friends here to make the most of its idyllic rural setting. By day, explore the farm thanks to a trail that starts at your door, visiting cattle and spotting wildlife as you go. If you're a keen cyclist, you're within striking distance of the Afan Forest and Bike Park Wales, with safe storage for your equipment.

Just an eight-minute drive from the town of Pontardawe and less than half an hour from Swansea, you'll feel as though this fairytale setting is tucked well away from the rest of the world.

Riverside Keep

This unique home nestled in the Swansea Valley is the ideal place to begin your adventures in south Wales. With easy access to both the Brecon Beacons National Park and the coast, you'll love spending your downtime in these wonderfully peaceful surroundings. 

It was used as a cart house when first built, but has since been totally revamped by award-winning Rio Architects. The result is a splendid home that combines contemporary minimalism with some traditional touches – the hosts have even added some Welsh-themed artworks for you to admire. And, if you head outside, you'll find a patio area where you can sip drinks in the sunshine – look out for the magic stone tree built on one of the walls.

The popular Plas Farm Trail passes right by the cottage's front door, and a short road leads you down to the banks of the River Clydach then into a private bluebell wood. A twenty-minute car ride will bring you to the Brecon Beacons, where you can try your hand at a range of outdoor activities including rock climbing and kayaking. And, if you fancy a day at the seaside, you can drive to the Gower Peninsula in forty minutes to discover hidden beaches. 

Tales from the Mabinogion

This charming cottage for two can be found at the heart of the Pembrokeshire Coastal National Park. Secluded Aberbach beach is just a ten-minute walk away, as is the Pembrokeshire Coastal Footpath. This is a great choice for nature lovers, walkers and cyclists. The home boasts original features including slate flooring, original beams and a wood burner, which keeps things cosy on chilly days. There’s also a pretty flower-filled garden for you to relax in. 

The Woodcutter's Rest

Nestled between Brecon Beacons National Park and the Gower Peninsula, this little cottage sits like a gateway to the abundant beauty of Wales. And with over 100 acres of private grounds to explore, this is the perfect setting for an immersive retreat in the heart of nature. 

Formerly the estate carpenter’s workshop, the owners have sensitively designed this space to honour its original charm whilst creating an idyllic sanctuary. From the rustic simplicity of the styling to the local art and personal touches, every detail feels considered and intentional. So whether you’re enjoying a quiet morning watching the wildlife from the window, savouring a long lunch under the trees or cuddling on the sofa by the fire, it’s easy to settle in and make this space your own. 

Sitting alongside a mountain stream on the slopes of Mynydd Marchywel, this is the kind of setting that will leave you feeling refreshed and inspired by the beauty of nature. Follow the views from the cottage doorstep and you’ll discover wonderful woodland walks. It’s just a fifteen-minute stroll to the village pub, while the nearest supermarket is just over a mile away in the town of Pontardawe.

Single-Level Home

Characterful and cosy, this charming coastal retreat is mere steps away from Aberdyfi Beach. The crashing waves are so close you can almost touch them from the living area – in fact, you can sit at the dining table and see the beach out the big windows. It's the perfect spot to savour a glass of wine and people-watch, but with the art galleries, restaurants and the sea on your doorstep, you'll surely be tempted out. On rainy days, curl up with a book on the squishy sofas, play a board game or two, or just snooze the afternoon away in the two comfortable bedrooms. The kitchen has everything you'll need to rustle up delicious dinners, and there are plenty of shops nearby to stock up on ingredients and fresh seafood. Aberdovey is a small seaside village on the harbour, but there's plenty nearby to keep you entertained – be it crabbing on the jetty, sea rowing at the rowing club or nibbling on fish and chips at a beachside picnic. But for more action-packed adventures, hike the picturesque Wales Coast Path or roam the nature reserves in Snowdonia National Park – the ancient woodland in Ceunant Llennyrch National Nature Reserve is an hour's drive.

Ocean's Dance

Lift Access

Courtyard

Overlooking Tenby's South Beach, this apartment on the lower-ground floor of a handsome yellow building is ideal for those who want to be able to go from their front door to the seaside in a matter of seconds, rather than minutes.

Aside from this proximity to the sea, we found lots else to like about the home. The design is pared-back and sophisticated, with parquet floors, white walls and a selection of chic furnishings creating the relaxed ambience of a high-end hotel's lobby. The baby-blue kitchen is both super-sleek and big enough for cooking up hearty meals, while there's also a private courtyard outside just in case the weather's nice enough to dine alfresco.

If that's the case, there's plenty to see and do in this south Welsh idyll. Tenby Castle is only ten minutes' walk up the coast, as is the town's Museum and Art Gallery. This area by the North Beach is also where you can catch a ferry to Caldey Island, on which you can visit the monastery and spot some of the diverse wildlife.

We dare you to find a home with a more spectacular view of Carmarthenshire's coastline than this. Perched on a hill overlooking Pendine's seven miles of golden sands below, the panoramic sea views reach far and wide, from the Carmarthen Bay to the Gower peninsula.

Every inch of this palatial, luminous home is designed with those vistas in mind. Curl up in the sumptuous king-size bed of the main suite with a cuppa and lose yourself to the horizon. Pad out across the porcelain tiled veranda and slip into the hot tub. Bring your ensemble together on the top floor for lazy breakfasts in the vast living area, awash in deep blues and restful greys. Or come together for sunset cocktails and barbecues on the expansive terrace – the outdoor mood lighting will help set the ambience. Wherever you choose to be, those magnificent seascapes will be right there.

If you can bear to part your gaze, if just for a while,  the silky sands and charming promenade of Pendine are just a nine-minute drive away. A traditional, understated seaside resort – it's all chalets, fish'n'chips, and windbreaks – just as it should be. But be sure to make it home for dusk - the sunset views from the hot tub are out-of-this-world.

Super luxurious yet charmingly old-school, this manor sits in the charming town of Penally, near Tenby. So as well as having cosy country pubs and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path on your doorstep, it’s just a six-minute drive into the centre of Tenby to explore the castle and beach. The home itself stands bay-windowed and bold, bright white against the blue sky. Built around 1840, it’s a Grade II listed building with two acres of stepped, walled garden to explore. Terraces with panoramic sea views, a swimming pool with adjoining hot tub, flowerbeds bursting with bloom and secret grottos fill the grounds. When dinner calls, there are plenty of places to dine – the sunny orangery that opens out onto the terrace, the sunny cubby hole in the kitchen or in the long, formal dining room. Chefs of the group can cook in the family kitchen, or leave it to a professional and make use of the catering kitchen in the basement. Down here you’ll also find the private bar and games room, like your own personal pub. Bedrooms come in all shapes and sizes to fit couples and kids, and our favourite has to be the master with its hand-carved four-poster bed and view of the sea from the bay window. 

To The Manor Born

Garden / Courtyard

Perched on the edge of the river Clydach and surrounded by trees, this little cottage makes the perfect setting to experience the idyllic beauty of South Wales. 

Formerly a farmer’s building used for animals on the Plas Cilybebyll estate, the owners have thoughtfully transformed this space into a private sanctuary. And stepping inside, you’ll find a home that celebrates its origins whilst bringing ease and comfort to your stay. From the traditional Welsh craftsmanship to the local art and personal touches, every detail inspires a wonderful sense of welcome. So whether you’re listening to the sound of the water on the patio, enjoying a meal under the trees or relaxing with a long soak in the bath, you’ll find this home provides a constant sense of serenity.  

Days can be spent admiring the local wildlife, observing ancient plant fossils and hiking across this majestic landscape – there’s a farm trail leading directly from the house. You’ll also find the nearest supermarket, pubs and cafes are just minutes away.

Occupying an enviable spot, just a two-minute walk from South Beach and five minutes from the bustling High Street, this modern apartment has the very best of Tenby within easy reach. Inside the home, it’s modern and fresh with bifold doors in the living space that flood the place with light and a fully-equipped kitchen that makes rustling up your favourite dinners a cinch. In the bedrooms, it’s all soothing blue and grey tones and the sumptuous beds guarantee a blissful night’s sleep.

Start your mornings with a coffee on the terrace before throwing on your sun hat and taking the ten-minute stroll to the popular Castle Beach for a paddle in the shallows. If hunger strikes, there are a number of cosy cafes and gourmet seafood restaurants scattered across town. After a good feasting, enjoy a ramble along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, just five minutes from your doorstep, or for something a little different, take the twenty-minute boat trip over to the holy Caldey Island.

Sea Soul

As you look around this home, it becomes clear very quickly that it has been designed to make the most of the beautiful coastal scenery in which this part of south Wales really specialises. In the living room, huge bi-fold doors open up to Juliet balconies that gaze out over Tenby's South Beach, while in the bedrooms there are further balconies, only this time with a view of Caldy Island. With such glorious panoramas, you could be forgiven for not really paying the interior much attention, but when you do get around to it, you'll find a modern space that's simple but effective — we're fans of the minimalist white kitchen, in particular. As you can probably imagine when looking out the window, the beach isn't too far away — just five minutes' walk, in fact. Tenby Castle can be reached in under a quarter of an hour on foot, too.

Welsh Cake

There were plenty of reasons why this penthouse apartment made it into our collection, but let's start with the most obvious. When guests step out onto the ornate white balcony, they're greeted with stunning views over the Dyfi Estuary and Cardigan Bay, stretching all the way down the Ceredigion Coastline. As is often the case with coastal locations, there's just so much sky and this uninterrupted panorama brings the added benefit of meaning the interior is flooded with natural light through the windows and skylights. This is emphasised pleasingly by the stark white walls and it makes for a wonderfully bright space to sprawl out on the tan leather sofa. As you can probably tell from looking out the window, Aberdyfi Beach sits just across the street and there are cafes and pubs along the seafront for when you fancy a refreshment. Slightly further afield, there are opportunities for birdwatching in RSPB Ynys-hir and Dyfi Osprey Project, both taking around half an hour to reach in the car.

The Bells of Aberdyfi

Found just outside the town of Narbeth in beautiful Pembrokeshire, this home is generous both when it comes to size and the number of distractions that guests will have at their disposal.

Many of these amenities lie out on the grounds, which include everything from a full-size rugby pitch with posts and a zipline to a lake and orchard perfect for peaceful strolls. Add an eight-person hot tub into the mix and you've got a property in which boredom is unlikely to rear its head.

There's plenty to like inside as well. As well as three separate living areas — including one on the first floor with pretty views of rolling countryside — we're also particularly fond of the huge kitchen fitted with sleek surfaces and smart wooden finishes.

When you want to see a little more of the local area, it's hard to know where to start. If the sun makes an appearance, why not head for Coppet Hall Beach only fifteen minutes' drive away or one of the huge number of coves and sandy spots that lie along the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path? Alternatively, the charming town of Tenby lies twenty minutes away in the car.


The First Day of Spring

We can't imagine a better place to switch off than here. No wif-fi, no disturbances – just you, your loved one, and the woods. For a couple looking to spend a romantic weekend away, this couldn't be more perfect.

Nestled between the trees on private woodlands, this cabin lets you shed away the thoughts of the daily grind, while still providing home comforts. The well-equipped kitchen is surprisingly large, so dinners at home are a breeze, and the plush sofa is the perfect place for getting cosy after a day of exploring. 

But really, the best seat in the house is just outside, overlooking the calm lake. You'll love rustling up barbecue dinners, tucking in around the picnic table, while looking out at the wide-spanning fields and the lake. It couldn't be more peaceful. Until you get the wood-burning hot tub bubbling, then we're really talking. Sip on wine in the warming hot tub as the sun starts to go down and the stars start to dot the night sky. 

Blissfully alone in the peace and quiet of the woods, you wouldn't think you're just a fifteen-minute drive from Tenby. Explore the quaint seaside town, full of traditional charm, coastal paths, narrow streets lined with pastel-coloured houses, knick-knack shops, and teeming with historical sites. The surrounding beaches are absolutely beautiful – ideal for taking in the view while tucking into fish and chips. 

The Great Alone

Set above the sea, a three-minute walk to North Beach, this stylish home is perfectly positioned for exploring the heart of Tenby and the Pembrokeshire Coast. Inside, there’s an open-plan living space with a moody blue and grey colour scheme, creating a sophisticated yet cosy feel. We particularly loved the subtle nautical nods and funky artwork. On chilly days, warm your toes by the fire or sip a mug of hot tea by the enormous bay windows, watching as the waves break on the shore. Cook up your favourite dinners in the flash kitchenette – but not before you’ve sampled fish and chips from D.Fecci and Sons on lower Frog Street, some of the best in town. When the sun shines, make a beeline for the placid waters of Castle Beach and explore Tenby Museum and Art Gallery, the oldest of its kind in Wales. If you’d prefer to expend a little more energy, it’s an hour’s amble to Saundersfoot.
