Built over 250 years ago, Coastal View has been superbly renovated and extended to provide spacious accommodation which includes a cosy sititng room with beamed ceiling and log burning fire. Situated in the coastal village of Porthgain with its friendly pub, excellent restaurant and art galleries. The cottage is a short walk from the harbour and the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path which takes you to Traeth Llyfn Beach. The large unfenced front lawn overlooks the harbour which is still used by local fishermen. Access to the cottage is up a short, but steep flight of steps. Several art/craft galleries are within a short drive. A little further afield is the beautiful Whitesands beach popular with surfing enthusiasts and the tiny historical city of St Davids, is well worth a visit to explore its facilities and Cathedral.An ideal holiday base for any time of year.
The location is the star with this cottage. Porthgain is an absolute gem of a place, and we enjoyed eating in both The Sloop pub next door, and The Shed, which had amazing fish and chips. There's also a lovely ice cream shop in the village. The cottage could have benefitted from more bedroom storage, as the 2nd bedroom had a very small wardrobe. The kitchen could do with an upgrade - there was no freezer, and we tried to make a meal, but the the kitchen hob didn't have enough power to boil the water for spaghetti. That was disappointing, but at least we could pop next door for a decent meal! There are also some restaurants in St. Davids, which is a lovely little place just 10 mins drive away. This was the nearest place with a small supermarket. Overall, we enjoyed staying in the cottage and can't fault its location.
