About the neighbourhood

The property is located in the heart of the Pembrokeshire National Coast Park, in South Pembrokeshire in an area of special conversation protected by international law. Wood Cottage enjoys an unrivaled geographical cocktail of delight on its very doorstep: ancient National Trust owned woodland, fresh water lily ponds (Bosherston Lakes), unspoiled tropical like beaches in summer - Barafundle Bay to Broad Haven South - breath-taking limestone cliffs, seascapes (voted the second best in the world by Geographic magazine), fishing quays and plenty of award winning pubs and restaurants scattered within just a few miles of the cottage. The Stackpole Inn, winner of multiple national restaurant awards is a short 12 minute walk from the cottage.

Getting around

Pembrokeshire County Council operate a daily 'Coastal Cruiser' bus service aimed at those who wish to walk sections of the Pembrokeshire National Coastal Path, but require the means to get back to their holiday base at the end of the day. This operates from the first week in May and runs a reduced service over the winter months. Dogs are welcome on the 'Coastal Cruiser' service subject to the driver's discretion. Please look for time tables on line at 'Visit Pembrokeshire'.
