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

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.

Shepherd of my Heart

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

This barn conversion is located near the market town of Narbeth. With high beamed ceilings, stone walls, and traditional arched windows, it’s packed full of character. The open-plan living area is readymade for sociable meals and relaxing evenings. And the main bedroom boasts views of the countryside. The coast isn’t too far away either, with sandy Telpyn Beach a ten-minute drive. And if you want to explore the area’s tourist towns, picturesque Saudersfoot and popular Tenby are both less than half an hour away.

Country Cottage Bliss

Live like a lord or lady of the manor in this fine Georgian mansion house. Whether you're taking along your friends, family, or colleagues, you'll settle into this luxurious setting in no time at all. Access to the home is via a private lane near Princes Gate, meaning that it's a secluded spot where you can truly relax. Inside, the home is the perfect blend of old and new, where traditional touches meet modern convenience – enjoy underfloor heating and state-of-the-art kitchen appliances alongside gorgeous period details. Outside, you'll find a mixture of formal gardens and private woodland to explore. There are plenty of adventures to be had here, but you simply must explore some of the gorgeous Welsh countryside too. Pembrokeshire National Park is right on your doorstep, where you can hike, cycle, or even pony trek through the stunning landscapes. The pretty market town of Narberth is a five-minute drive away, and Telpyn Beach is just over ten minutes away by car. And, when you return home after a busy day, the outdoor hot tub is waiting for you – it's the ideal way to relax under the stars. 

Pembroke Peace

Discover the beauty of the South Pembrokeshire from this stunning beachfront base, situated in the small seaside resort of Saundersfoot. More compact than nearby Tenby, which lies a few miles to the south, the place has a unique charm all of its own.

South-facing sea views grab all the headlines here, with large windows in the open layout living area/kitchen, plus direct access to a private balcony ensuring you can make the most of the unparalleled location. 

The interior decor is no less eye-catching, with mid-century style leather seating, a wood burner set into the wall, plus a subtle maritime theme, with hints of blue and wood cladding that reminded us of the side of a beach hut.

Sharing the open-plan space is the kitchen, with the sink set up so you can look out at the waves as you wash up the bits and pieces that won't fit in the dishwasher. Rather sensibly, the hob and oven face the opposite way, to minimise distractions. With dinner ready, it's down to you to plate up and grab a seat at the rustic yet elegant dining table.

Elsewhere, the two bedrooms keep up with the nods to the nautical setting, with striped wallpaper and sea-themed artwork adorning the walls.

In addition to the expansive beach, the old tramway route that connected the coal port to mines at Stepsaside survives as a spectacular section of the picturesque Pembrokeshire Coast Path. It's 186 miles long in total, but we'd recommend dipping in and out to walk along particularly panoramic parts.

Those who prefer their outdoor activities more action-packed will find some of Pembrokeshire's finest surf spots within a twenty-mile drive. A particular standout is Freshwater West, which is hailed by many as the most reliable break in the land of dragons and daffodils.



Stroll Along the Strand

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.

 

Master Draughtsman

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 

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

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

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.
