About this property
One of two semi-detached holiday cottages near Milford Haven, this superb property is next to the tidal estuary, and has shared lockable storage for cycles and kayaks underneath. There are three delightful bedrooms, two of which have Juliet balconies giving wonderful views over the estuary. The spacious, light and airy living accommodation has the same wonderful views, and access to the terrace for alfresco dining. The direct access down stone steps to the shingle beach make it perfect for walks along the shoreline discovering so much at low tide, and watersports when the tide is in. With parking by the cottage and more shared private parking just up the road there is plenty of room for your own boat. A wonderfully high quality Pembrokeshire cottage, immaculately-presented in a perfect setting for a great family holiday all year round.
The town of Milford Haven overlooks the Cleddau Waterway and boasts a pretty marina, interesting shops, tea rooms and restaurants including those which serve freshly caught fish. The beaches, coastal path and lovely towns of Pembrokeshire are within easy reach.
