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’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

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.

Sherwood House

This Grade II listed seaside cottage is the perfect base for relaxing breaks on the Pembrokeshire coast. It was lovingly restored and modernised in 2021, so while it still retains its historic charm – and traditional features and layout – it’s now a wonderfully comfortable and cosy cottage. 

The cottage sits just across the road from the sea, so you can be paddling in the shallows of Dale’s beach in no time. From the water sports centre in Dale, you can try your hand at any number of activities, including sailing, surfing, and kayaking. We’d be tempted to give paddleboarding a go, followed by a hearty meal in the award-winning village pub. Of course, you might choose to fish for your supper instead?

Nature-lovers will have plenty to keep them entertained too, with a whole host of coastal walks to enjoy. You might partake in a spot of bird watching on the Gann, or take the ferry to Skomer Island to see the puffins in summer. 

However you spend your days, you’ll be glad to have such a pleasant home from home to return to. When the weather is fine you can tuck into picnic lunches on the front lawn, and admire the sea view as you dine. When it’s a little colder, nothing beats curling up in the living room to play board games together. 


The Blue Nest

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.

Once Upon a Tide

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

When Mary Ann Evans paid a visit to this home in 1857, she was inspired to write a novel. A year later, Scenes From A Clerical Life was published under the nom de plume George Eliot and over the course of the next twenty years, she would write some of the most influential books of the period, including Middlemarch and Daniel Deronda.

No pressure to anybody coming to this four-storey, Grade-II listed townhouse in the present day, then. Straight away, you can see why it had the power to rouse dormant literary ambitions — the view from the huge windows of Tenby Harbour is nothing short of sublime. Even though the interior has been updated in the proceeding two centuries, there are still signs of the home's heritage, from the high ceilings and tall windows to the original wooden floorboards in the hallway.

If you ever need a break from working on your manuscript, Castle Beach takes all of a minute to reach on foot, as does the 12th-century landmark that lends the sandy spot its name. Catching the twenty-minute ferry to see the abbey on Caldey Island is well worth doing, too.



Literary Ambitions

Welcome to Luxury Haven, a stunning barn conversion on the outskirts of the quaint town of Narberth. This charming property exudes elegance and attention to detail in every corner. Unwind in the main bathroom's large bath/waterfall shower after a day of exploration. The open plan living room/dining room features stylish décor, a chesterfield sofa, widescreen smart TV, and an electric fire for cosy evenings. The spacious kitchen boasts beamed ceilings, exposed brick walls, and traditional arch windows. Upstairs, you'll find a twin room and a master bedroom with a super King size bed and beautiful countryside views. Enjoy the serene surroundings and ample parking space on the private driveway. Luxury Haven is the perfect countryside retreat close to amenities and popular towns.

Country Cottage Bliss

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 

This riverside retreat overlooks the Teifi Marshes Nature Reserve. Outside, you can enjoy stunning views while relaxing in the garden. 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.

River of Love

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

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.
