For outdoor enthusiasts, Pwllgwaelod and Cwm-Yr-Eglwys beaches are only a short walk away, with a walk around Dinas Island along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, a must. Venture further afield to Fishguard and Goodwick where you can enjoy a cup of coffee at Cresswell's Cafe and dive into the wonders of the sea at Sea Trust - Ocean Lab Aquarium. The historians of the group can also learn about Welsh heroine Jemima Nicholas' battles against the Napoleonic French with a visit to the 'Last Invasion Tapestry' in the Town Hall.

The village of Dinas Cross has a well stocked grocery shop, two pubs, a fish and chip shop and lies between the Preseli Hills and the Pembrokeshire coast. Cwm-yr-Eglwys and Pwllgwaelod beaches are both short walks away and the three-mile walk around Dinas Head accessed from either beach is one of the finest walks in Wales. Both beaches are ideal for swimming, sailing, kayaking and paddleboarding. Newport three miles away at the estuary of the river Nevern is a bustling old town with vast beaches and lies at the foot of the mystical mountain Carn Ingli. Fishguard, five miles away is an historic old fishing village on the estuary of the river Gwaun and has many amenities including a cinema, leisure centre and a vibrant music scene which has three festivals devoted to folk, classical and jazz music. Further away is the market town of Cardigan to the north and the historic city of St Davids to the south with its magnificent cathedral and many eating places.

Such a beautiful and well maintained place. It's just like home from home. Everything you need it there. Plenty of places to see and lovely to go back and just relax in the cottage. We would highly recommend this cottage and would definitely go back there. A lovely welcome pack was there for us as well.

everything you would need for a comfortable cosy break. Beautiful garden which would be perfect if the weather was nice and warm. Beautiful scenery and beaches nearby by, and a good choice of pubs too, The Ship Aground pub doesnât allow dog btw, but the Freemasons and the Sailors Safety do. Be warned a steep hill walking back from the Sailors Safety but worth it.. We would definitely recommend and would love to return. Thanks for the lovely welcome pack, much appreciated
