Tenby is the perfect destination for your next family holiday, and this cottage has all the home comforts you need to relax in style with your party of eight. Tucked back from the cheerful harbour and sparkling beaches, this deceptively spacious property is just 0.5 miles from Tenby’s famous Tudor Square that’s lined with tempting restaurants, cafes and amusements. During the summer months, it is a haven for al fresco dining, whether you are perched with a cappuccino or tucking into the fresh catch of the day. The medieval stone walls hint at Tenby’s fascinating history, and you’ll also have the museum and castle to explore. Play beach games and build sandcastles on one of the immaculate beaches, or arrange a sea safari to glimpse the basking seals under the cliffs. You can also visit Caldey Island with its iconic monastery and beautiful surroundings. The order of Cistercian monks who reside here handcraft soap and honey using the lavender that coasts the island, so you’ll be able to pick up some souvenirs. Back on dry land, the coast path stretches to Saundersfoot (5 miles) with its equally as impressive beach and an array of eateries. It is also another popular place to try water sports such as paddleboarding, kayaking and surfing.
Enter via the hallway and discard your sandy shoes in the porch, heading into the kitchen to pop the kettle on after your adventures. Featuring an oven, hob, grill and a fridge/freezer, you’ll have everything you need to prepare a delicious feast using local ingredients, plus there is a bonus bean-to-cup coffee machine for your morning pick-me-up. Snuggle up in the lounge watching films on the TV, or raid the cupboard to enjoy the selection of board games for some healthy competition. The bathroom is handily connected to a bonus utility room, ideal for wiping down muddy paws if you have a canine companion. Equipped with a shower over the bath, a separate shower cubicle and WC, it is a sanctuary when you need a good soak. The first bedroom is also on this level: a stylish double room with ample storage space and a dressing table. Climb the stairs to find three further bedrooms, one of which is a treat for the youngsters thanks to the bunk beds, hand basin and selection of toys and books. There’s also a pull-out bed to complete the sleepover experience, a chalkboard, and an arcade game pro with over 3,000 games. Marvel at the views from the comfort of your private bistro table in the super-king-size bedroom, appreciating the secluded space the bay windows offer. The final bedroom has useful zip-and-link beds that convert into twin singles or a super-king-size bed on request. For a lavish extra touch, the bathroom on the first floor has a decadent roll-top bath.
On warm afternoons, you can fire up the BBQ and unwind in the garden, watching as the children play on the lawn. There is a basketball hoop to use at the property or down at the beach, and you’ll also find a handy area for waste and recycling. A gate leads through to a further gravelled area that has a swing ball set.
