Sometimes the daily stresses of life can become a little overwhelming so it’s important to pay attention to your own well-being and make some time for yourself. Immersing yourself in green spaces and the outdoors can do wonders for the soul and so can a secluded cottage holiday in Wales.

From our own experience of living, breathing and working here in the coastal region of Pembrokeshire, all we can tell you is that a little bit of time spent by the seaside is one of the best remedies you can find.
Why not go that extra step further and choose one of our secluded countryside cottages? Pembrokeshire is a treasure trove of rural villages, idyllic hamlets and picturesque remote cottages making it the perfect choice for those times when you just need a quiet getaway.

The city of St Davids is, more accurately, an attractive village on the most westerly peninsula of mainland Britain and has what many consider to be the country's most lovely cathedral. You’ll also find excellent shops, pubs and restaurants in the city’s centre, which is easily accessible from our range of St Davids holiday cottages.
Within a short walk, you can access the nearby harbour at Porthclais and join the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path from here.

This property even has underfloor heating plus an electric car charging point, much needed after a drive from the big city.
Just 3 miles from Haverfordwest and a short drive from the west Pembrokeshire beaches of Broad Haven, Little Haven and Nolton Haven; there are certainly plenty of things to do nearby if you want to spend a couple of days doing activities.
