A traditional Welsh cottage, Bluebell Cottage is situated in a quiet village in South Pembrokeshire and is within walking distance of the popular sandy beach at West Angle Bay.
It is the perfect place to relax and unwind, and a great base from which to explore the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. With numerous stunning sandy beaches nearby, historic castles in abundance and a variety of family attractions locally there is something for everyone all year round.
An ideal holiday home for families, small groups of friends and couples alike, the cottage sleeps up to 7 (best-suited to max 6 adults). It is well-equipped for children and we welcome one well-behaved dog (a second dog may be permissible on request.)
The living room features a log burning stove, Smart TV, DVD player and free Wifi. The modern kitchen has all the amenities you would expect and there is a utility area suitable for drying walking boots and wet weather gear. The bathroom is on the ground floor and includes a bath as well as a separate shower cubicle and WC.
There is one spacious double bedroom on the ground floor while the original Victorian staircase leads to the light and airy bedrooms on the first floor with their lovely wooden floorboards. Upstairs there is one large double bedroom, one twin room and one single room. 200-400 thread count 100% cotton bed linen is provided as well as a 100% cotton bath sheet for each guest. Please bring beach towels with you.
The enclosed rear lawned garden with a paved patio, mature shrubs and fruit trees is a lovely spot in which to enjoy an alfresco meal on a summer's evening. A BBQ will be available for guests to use during the summer months (please provide your own charcoal). And in the Winter guests can cosy up with a book or board game from our collection in front of the wood burning stove in the living room (a starter basket of logs is provided).
We are well-equipped for children, with a high chair, travel cot (please bring your own cot sheets) and a stair gate at the top of the stairs. The garden is gated but we ask that children are supervised in the garden at all times.
The cottage is very quiet and private. Parking is on-street, outside the front of the property.
There is a great local pub just 100m from the cottage, The Hibernia Inn, serving hearty food and a good selection of drinks. Wavecrest Cafe at West Angle Bay serves great lunches, coffee, cake, drinks and ice cream from mid-Feb until October and the award-winning Cafe Mor is now situated at The Old Point House at East Angle Bay, just a 10 minute scenic walk from the cottage. We also highly recommend The Stackpole Inn, 20 minutes drive from the cottage.
The sandy beach at West Angle Bay is popular with families and is just a 10 minute walk from the cottage or a 2 minute drive, and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path offers wonderful walks and stunning views. The Chapel Bay Fort Museum is open from Easter and is a 15 minute walk from the cottage.
There are a number of other beautiful beaches to choose from nearby, including Barafundle, Broadhaven South, Freshwater East and Freshwater West (famous for its surf). A visit to Broad Haven South beach taking in the walk round the lily ponds at Bosherton should not be missed, likewise the headland walk to Barafundle Bay - one of our favourite spots.
The coastal town of Tenby is a 25 minute drive from the cottage and there are numerous local attractions, including Bluestone, Oakwood, Folly Farm, Manor Wildlife Park, Carew Castle, Pembroke Castle and Manorbier Castle.
Sadly there is no longer a village shop, therefore we recommend you bring some supplies with you as the nearest shop is 15 minutes away. Tesco and Asda will deliver to the cottage (please ask us for detailed directions to provide to delivery driver), otherwise there is a small Co-op in Pembroke and larger supermarkets in Pembroke Dock. We are unable to provide any supplies for you.
Please note that whilst the cottage can sleep 7 it is most comfortable with a maximum of 6 adults or a combination of adults and children, up to 7 people. It's great for inviting the grandparents for a few days with you or having the extra single bedroom allows a bit more flexibility with your sleeping arrangements.
PLEASE NOTE THAT DURING PEAK MONTHS WE OPERATE A 1 WEEK MINIMUM STAY POLICY WITH CHANGEOVER ON A SATURDAY. AT OTHER TIMES THE MINIMUM STAY IS 2 NIGHTS AND CHANGEOVER DAYS CAN BE FLEXIBLE.
