Westhills is a charming single storey cottage, overlooking the Pembrokeshire sea and countryside, set in its own enclosed, lawned gardens on a private lane a short walk to the National Trust Lydstep headland and down the hill to the pretty sheltered sandy Lydstep Bay (beach), only approx 3.5 miles from Tenby. A favourite with walkers and those wishing for their own space.
An ideal coastal cottage for a large family group or a romantic couple looking for a picturesque coastal retreat with sea views from south facing rooms and real open fire. On a clear day you can look out to sea and spot Lundy Island in the distance. The cottage has a homely feel, with rear patio area off the kitchen & porchway for sunny mornings and evenings. There is lawned garden to the front and rear of the cottage (rear garden is up approx 5 steps). From the entrance hall the sitting room with open fire has a bay style window sea area with sea views and another window looking west. Original parque flooring remains in the sitting room, hallway and dining room. The separate dining room leads to the kitchen with pantry cupboard. A shower room leads off the kitchen and the porchway also leads off the kitchen with a back door onto the patio terrace - a veritable sheltered sun trap. The master bedroom is off the dining room and has it's own ensuite bathroom. The other two bedrooms are off the hallway (after the sitting room) and share the west wing of the cottage with an additional wc and bath/shower room.
Relaxing in front of the real open fire is the perfect way to end a day of exploring Pembrokeshire's Coastal National Park or only a few minutes walk up the lane you can have a drink or eat in the local pub Lydstep Tavern (seasonal opening) or Waves Restaurant, where you can dine overlooking the bay or treat yourself to a pamper session in the spa. Tenby and Manorbier with their sandy beaches and welcoming pubs are only a short drive away.
A short walk down the bumpy lane takes you to the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, the best way to really appreciate this stunning coastline, take in Lydstep Point owned by the National Trust. Explore at low tide the Lydstep Caverns or visit the beautiful private sandy Lydstep Haven beach. For keen golfers, you can walk up and enjoy a round of 9 hole golf at Celtic Haven or there are a further 2 18 hole courses to try within a short drive - Tenby Links Golf Club or Trefloyne Golf Club.There is a great range of family attractions nearby including Heatherton World of Activities, Manor House Wildlife Park and Folly Farm, all within a short drive of about 3-4 miles. The bustling medieval walled town of Tenby with its pretty cobbled streets and picturesque harbour is only 3ish miles away, sample its range of restaurants, pubs and shops, as well as its 4 glorious sandy beaches. A boat trip to Caldey Island and its Cistercian monks is a must of any holiday. While to the west lies the pretty village of Manorbier popular with surfers, with its medieval Castle and wonderful sandy beach, as well as a popular cafe and village pub.A highly recommended coastal holiday cottage for any season close to Tenby and Saundersfoot's sandy beaches.
