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.

About The Pembrokeshire Coast
Fabulous coastal scenery? Tick. Big, sandy beaches? Tick. More outdoor activities than you can shake a carabiner at? Absolutely. If you’re any kind of outdoorsy person, this place has you covered. With footpaths, cycleways, beaches and waves, the Pembrokeshire coast is for surfing and sandcastle-building, and everything in between. Nowhere in this national park is more than 10 miles from the sea, and no visit to Pembrokeshire would be complete...
