About this cottage rental

Our cottage is a home from home, set above Aberfforest Beach with uninterrupted sea views from most rooms. Stroll down to the beach to explore or swim; enjoy walking along the Pembrokeshire coastal path, delighting in the beautiful coves and wildlife, take a short walk along the stream beside the cottage and through the ancient woodland to admire the waterfall, or relax on the patio, watching the sea and possibly the occasional seal, porpoise or dolphin swim by.
The cottage is well equipped for any holiday, providing accommodation for 7 in 4 bedrooms, together with an upstairs lounge, downstairs lounge and dining room and a conservatory. It can be enjoyed in any season from summer with patio furniture to enjoy the sea views through to winter, where full central heating and an aga means you can enjoy a bright crisp frosty morning or stormy sea views from the warmth of one of the two lounges.
Aberfforest is a very special bay on this beautiful coastline, blessed with tiny coves and a favourite haunt of seals and dolphins. The bay, which can only be approached by the general public via a long footpath, is almost private and has launching facilities available by prior arrangement. The small, sandy beach is perfect for swimming or kayaking. It is great for children of all ages to explore with interesting rock pools, sand to dig in or build a sandcastle, and a stream supplying water to any young dam-busters dream!
The Pembrokeshire Coast Path runs past Aberfforest; follow this for fantastic scenic walks to Newport beach and Dinas Head. The villages of Dinas and Newport with their shops, pubs and restaurants are under 2 miles away, a pleasant walk in good weather.
Our cottage is a great base to explore the beauty of Pembrokeshire, the wonderful coastline, the bustling picturesque towns and villages, and the fabulous coves, stretches of long sandy beaches and the mystical Preseli Hills. For the active person, there is lots to do from swimming, kayaking, sailing, boat trips (to see seals, dolphins and even puffins at the right time of year), coasteering, wild swimming, surfing, hiking and horse riding - to name but a few.

Ground Floor: Steps from parking area to entrance, hall, kitchen, lounge/diner, conservatory, double room/king size bed, twin room, bathroom/overhead shower/wc.

First Floor: Galleried 2nd lounge, single room, double room/king size bed, shower room/wc, desk area.

We have rented our holiday home for 15+ years and we only started renting it via VRBO in late 2022. A few previous guest reviews, written in our guest book at the cottage, are included below for your benefit, in addition to those now on VRBO:

"Brilliant week. Third time visiting. Love it! Something for everyone. Walks, views, kayaking, swimming. Lovely to spend time together somewhere so relaxing and beautiful. Highlight for some: jungle shower in the waterfall. Will definitely come again!"

"We are sad to be leaving. What a view! What a welcoming home! Cannot wait to return. Dolphins swam with us! Seal caught a fish only 20 metres from us – spectacular!"

"After an extended journey here (one of us from the US), we woke up in the morning to be awed by the view! We went kayaking in this bay and saw several jellyfish and a seal (from about 2 metres away!) We were also apparently spied by a dolphin….Watched the fog roll over the water on the last day which was very dramatic!

'"A great property with spectacular views of huge waves"

"Thanks for sharing your lovely cottage. It was very clean and tidy. The view, beach and tranquillity were idyllic. Cottage was very comfortable and well-equipped. We had a lovely time exploring the area."

"The view and proximity to the beach here are gems for a family holiday - we loved kayaking from St David's and have been venturing around the local bays - loads of fun! This holiday cottage has provided us with a warm abode whilst we get to know this beautiful area of Wales. Waterfall is truly magical!!"

A lovely week in the most idyllic of settings. Beach and coastal walks on your doorstep were wonderful and the wildlife was fantastic. Cottage was very comfortable and it had everything we needed for our week away.

We booked the house because of the location and access to the coastal paths. It did not disappoint. Sat with a morning coffee over looking the bay while waiting for the kids to wake was perfect. One day we went one way on the coastal path, the next the other. It was the reset we needed for the start of half term.

We had a lovely week at this excellent cottage which is set in the most stunning location overlooking Aberfforest beach. The cottage has everything you could wish for, is well equipped and is spotlessly clean. It is so peaceful here. We loved sitting in the second lounge upstairs looking out at the bay and watching the sunsets. If you are new to the area, the information centre in Newport is very good and the staff very helpful. Newport has some great places to eat and for lunch we enjoyed a meal at the Blas at Fronlas bistro. The nearby village of Nevern is lovely with a beautiful church and excellent walks - we enjoyed a meal at the Trewern Arms there. We’d love to return and thank you Moira for all your help

We had a wonderful stay. The house is in an AMAZING location and our boys (aged 2 and 5) had the best time playing on the beach and the surrounding area. The house was really well set up and we just loved sitting in the upstairs living room watching the sea. We will be back!

The property is in a great location with fantastic views, very warm, comfortable and well appointed. We had a brilliant week with family despite the vagaries of Pembrokeshire weather. It was really good to be so close to the beach and walk the coast path without having to to drive!
