Dolwern

About this property

Dolwern is a beautifully presented semi-detached holiday home tucked away in the peaceful village of Dinas Cross, Pembrokeshire, with sandy beaches, scenic coastal walks and breath-taking seascapes all within easy reach. Perfect for families and friends seeking time together on the Pembrokeshire coast, this inviting retreat pairs EV charging, a woodburning stove, partial ground-floor living, an enclosed garden designed for outdoor living and direct access to nearby beaches, creating a memorable base for adventures by the sea. Pull onto the private driveway, with additional roadside parking available, and step inside to discover welcoming interiors designed for relaxing, socialising and making the most of your coastal escape.

After days spent exploring cliff-top paths and hidden coves, a practical drying room provides the ideal place to leave walking boots, beach gear and outdoor clothing before settling in for the evening. At the heart of the home, the open-plan living space encourages the whole group to come together. The well-equipped kitchen has everything needed to prepare family meals, while the dining area provides a natural gathering spot to linger over breakfast plans or recount the day's discoveries along the coast. Start slow mornings with a freshly made coffee from the boiling water tap, enjoyed at the breakfast bar as sunlight filters through the room.

Later, stream your favourite films on the Sky Glass TV or ask Alexa to provide the soundtrack for a leisurely evening in. When a quieter moment calls, retreat to the separate sitting room and snug, where comfy sofas, a snuggle chair, a work desk and a crackling woodburning stove create an inviting setting for reading, catching up on emails or simply unwinding with a glass of something chilled. As the evening draws in, the ground-floor king-size bedroom offers a comfortable and convenient sleeping space, particularly suited to guests who prefer accommodation without regularly using the stairs. Served by a nearby ground-floor wet room with an electric shower, this thoughtful layout provides added flexibility for mixed-age groups holidaying together.

Upstairs, two further king-size bedrooms, both benefiting from en-suite shower rooms, offer restful places to retire after busy days exploring Pembrokeshire, while a bunk bedroom provides sleeping space for younger guests. A family bathroom completes the accommodation, inviting long soaks after coastal walks, and a travel cot is available on request for those visiting with little ones. Outside, the enclosed garden has been designed for making the most of long days by the coast. Fire up the pizza oven or barbecue and gather around the firepit as the evening air begins to cool, with the charming lighthouse lantern adding a warm glow to alfresco evenings.

Stretch out on the artificial lawn with a good book, dine together on the patio or rinse away salt and sand beneath the hot and cold outdoor shower after an early morning dip in the sea. Beyond the garden, a secure rear gate opens onto a shaded footpath leading directly towards the safe, sandy beaches of Cwm-yr-Eglwys and Pwll Gwaelod, both reached in around fifteen minutes on foot, making spontaneous beach days and sunset strolls wonderfully effortless. If you don't fancy cooking one evening, head out to the ship Aground, The Freemasons Arms or the fish and chip shop a short walk away.

Or perhaps sample some fresh seafood from The Old Sailors which is just a short drive away. For a lovely day of strolling, Dyffryn Fernant Garden is within easy reach and offers a tranquil day of wandering delightsome plants and shrubbery. For fantastic views, head out to Strumble Head Lighthouse and discover the open sea from a new and exciting perspective. Walk the length of the beach at Newport Sands or participate in bird watching from the bridge overlooking the Nevern estuary. If you are travelling with lovers of history, stop off at Fishguard Fort on your way and explore the 18th-century ruins overlooking the picture-perfect coastline and picturesque Lowertown fishing harbour.

Adventurous types may enjoy Castell Henllys Iron Age village, whereas animal lovers have the choice of visiting Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo and the Welsh Wildlife Centre throughout your stay, each of which promise a fascinating trip. Whatever you like to get up to on your holiday, whether total relaxation or a variety of outdoor pursuits, make Dolwern your perfect base anytime of the year.

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. There are many good cafes and restaurants in Newport and Fishguard and excellent local produce available at the weekly street market in Newport.
