Holiday cottage to rent in Hundleton, Pembrokeshire

Accommodation details

A converted barn overlooking the lovely Cleddau estuary is ideally placed for families or friends planning to explore the beautiful Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Sleeping eight guests, with a welcome for up to five dogs, this cosy holiday home in the village of Hundleton is one of a small complex of barn conversions.

Set in a quiet, rural lane, it is within easy reach of golden beaches, magnificent medieval castles and wonderfully scenic coastal walks. A shop and pub are within 0.5 miles and there are more shops and eateries in historic Pembroke, just 2 miles away. The barn is on two floors, with traditional external stone steps leading to the first-floor living area.

Comfortable seating beneath characterful rafters in the lounge offers tranquil views of the estuary, while the spacious kitchen/diner has a large country-style table and chairs. Downstairs are four bedrooms; two doubles and two twins, all simply furnished in white bed linen. Also on this floor are an en-suite bathroom and two shower rooms.

Outside, a shared open lawn to the front of the barn overlooks the estuary, with a private patio at the rear. Head for family-friendly Freshwater East beach (6 miles), one of a string of wide, sandy bays along this stretch of coast, or wilder Freshwater West (5 miles), a favourite for surfers. The National Trust’s Barafundle Bay (5 miles), an unspoiled gem with turquoise waters, is well worth the 0.5-mile walk from the car park.

Visit Pembroke’s mighty Norman Castle, where the Dungeon Tower hides an authentic medieval gaol, and take a walking tour to discover the 900-year-old walled town’s fascinating history. Other dramatic, must-see castles include picture-book Manorbier (7.5 miles), and Carew (6.5 miles), with its historic tidal mill.
