The property is gloriously positioned on the secluded peninsula of Strumble Head; one of the most scenic and uninhabited locations of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Ranked as one of the world’s greatest coastlines by National Geographic magazine, the dramatic undulating cliffs and gorgeous heathland offer some of the very best coastal walks around. What’s more, Strumble Head is famous for its native wildlife from rare sea birds and aquatic mammals to the colourful array of flora that flourish on the cliff tops.
The immaculate converted apartment has been specifically designed to encapsulate the stunning views, which can be enjoyed from every window of this stylish abode. Arranged over two floors, the second floor contains a spacious open plan living space and double bedroom with en-suite, both with beautifully restored exposed beams.
The accommodation is completely independent from the owner’s farmhouse, benefitting from its own exterior flight of slate steps and garden space below. Here, guests are encouraged to simply relax and unwind in the remote and spectacular natural setting.
The property sits around 6 miles from the port of Fishguard, which offers a lovely selection of cafes, pubs and a few restaurants, while the city of St Davids and popular hamlet of Porthgain are both within 30 mins drive. Half an hour to the north you will find the popular seaside town of Newport and the enchanting Preseli Hills with its intriguing selection of neolithic artefacts.
The beautiful rocky coves of Abermawr and Aberbach are just 4 miles along the scenic country roads, while a visit to the ancient woolen mill, Melin Tregwynt, is a must on your way down to the beach. Further along the coast, discover Abereiddy, The Blue Lagoon, Traeth Llyfn and Whitesands for a fantastic mix of stunning beaches.
There’s also a variety of things to see and do right on your doorstep. The headland lays claim to one of the largest seal colonies in Europe, so expect to see plenty of pups basking on the deserted rocky beaches in Spring. For the more ardent wildlife enthusiast there is designated wildlife watching observatory next to the lighthouse or simply stroll around the many paths and trails with magical views and pristine sea air. We also recommend a gentle stroll to the top of Garn Fawr, an iron age hillfort with amazing 360-degree views of the whole county, only a short walk from your front door.
Free WiFi
One or several floors are accessed by external stairs.
This property has a winter fuel charge of £30 from September to May.

The location of the property is as expected remote. The views are spectacular and the wildlife amazing so ten out of ten to Mother Nature. The property needs attention and should not be described as luxury The cattle grid leading to the property is sunken and needs to be approached carefully. The property itself has an ‘end of season’ feeling to it. There are several extensive damp patches on the walls with flaking paint, PAT testing of all electrical appliances and equipment was due 4 months ago having lapsed in May 26. First aid kit is not up to date. We had an issue with a constantly filling toilet cistern and made 4 calls, left 2 messages, knocked on the front door but received no responses for 24 hours as the owners were away and had left no one to act on their behalf. We would have relayed all this to the owners in person rather than leave this review but we never once met them.
