Stroll down to the sand to swim, paddle or play family games then return to the comfort of this seaside holiday home in Freshwater East. Sleeping six guests and welcoming canine companions too, the three-bedroom retreat makes a superb base for a family or group of friends. With a veranda for outside dining and a balcony from which you can see the sea, the colourful New England-style cottage is a great choice for anyone wishing to spend time on the scenic West Wales coast.

Make your way up the steps and into this bright and airy abode. At its heart is an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where you can spread out and relax after your exciting days out. Open the veranda door on summer mornings to bring in the fresh sea air. Find films on the Smart TV in the evening then gather together. Stroll through to the kitchen to cater for your party on those occasions you choose not to dine out. Pull chairs up to the table inside or out, depending on the weather. A family shower room and a utility room can also be found downstairs. When eyelids begin to droop, venture upstairs to the bedrooms. These include a double with an en-suite shower room, and two twins of which one can be made into a double (to be requested at time of booking). There is also a family bathroom up here. Open the door from the double bedroom to the balcony on warm mornings to enjoy coffee as you look towards the sea. Have dinner on the veranda and linger over a bottle of wine as the sun sets.

Spend time on the golden sand at Freshwater East or try pretty Swanlake Bay, 3 miles away. Plan trips into Pembroke, 5 miles away, to peruse the galleries, boutiques and many independent shops. Visit the museum and the impressive castle while you are here.
