Vagwr Eilw Cottage, Holiday Cottage Llanhowell, near Abereiddy, Sleeps 6, 3 bedrooms, bathrooms

Vagwr Eilw is a charming, detached stone cottage deceptively spacious tucked away on a country lane surrounded by fields, yet just a 10-minute drive from the sea. Comfortably furnished, it has been renovated and extended to offer a mix of traditional and more modern accommodation. The useful glazed porch leads into the original cottage sitting room with its beams and large Inglenook fireplace, the wood burning stove ensures a cosy feel on the chilliest of evenings; a hallway takes you through to a modern bathroom and spacious fitted kitchen and dining room, the conservatory gives a sunny spot to relax overlooking the garden.  The 2 double bedrooms are complete contrasts, one in the original cottage complete with beams, while the other is light and airy with an ensuite cloakroom and windows overlooking the garden with a view to the fields beyond, while open tread stairs from the sitting room lead to the twin room nestling in the eaves with some restricted headroom. French doors open from the dining room and the conservatory to the enclosed rear garden with a gravel terrace where you can dine alfresco, steps lead up to the lawn offering views over the surrounding fields or why not take advantage of the barbecue hut when the weather is a little chillier. Perfect for keen walkers and cyclists, quiet country lanes and footpaths abound just waiting to be explored. The coast is less than 4 miles away, take to the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path to really appreciate this stunning rugged coastline on foot, the closest beach is Abereiddy with its grey sand and Blue Lagoon, made famous by the Red Bull National Cliff Diving Championship; Porthgain is popular with its pub, The Sloop Inn and Shed Restaurant, both serving excellent food and art gallery, further along the coast is the village of Trefin leading down to Aberfelin and the picturesque harbour village of Abercastle, still frequented by fishermen today. A trip to the famous Whitesands Beach should not be missed, popular with surfers both professional and beginners alike, as well as families. The tiny City of St Davids with its range of facilities and majestic Cathedral and Bishops Palace is within a short drive.  Vagwr Eilw is a wonderful cottage to escape to and an ideal base from which to explore this stunning part of Pembrokeshire.
