Hideaway Cottages

Pembrokeshire is well known for its gorgeous beaches – and you’ll be well placed here to explore a few of its finest. You could start with the half-hour walk to Manorbier’s beach and castle, before continuing along the coast path to Church Door Cove (or drive there in five minutes). Barafundle Bay, Broad Haven South and Freshwater West (both 25 minutes’ drive) are a few of the other must-see beaches nearby. Tenby (10 minutes) is hugely popular – and with good reason. It has several stretches of glorious golden sand, some excellent places to eat, cute streets to potter around in, and a spectacular seaside castle. Boats also head out from the harbour for fishing or wildlife watching – depending on the season you may see seals, puffins or dolphins. Away from the coast, Carew Castle and Tidal Mill (10 minutes) and Upton Castle Gardens (15 minutes) are both good spots for a wander. If you’ve brought kids along, Manor Wildlife Park (10 minutes) would be a great outing.
