Mallard's Rest - Countryside, Hot Tub

Puffin Cottage Holidays is proud to present Mallard’s Rest, a wonderful two-bedroom waterside lodge at Canaston Waterside Lodges, where the owners look forward to welcoming you to their peaceful “Noddfa” (sanctuary), nestled in a stunning location in the beautiful Welsh countryside. Just three miles from the market town of Narberth and a short walk or drive to local attractions, including the popular seaside town of Tenby.

A 20-minute walk through Canaston Woods will lead you to Blackpool Mill with it's heritage restaurant and surrounding woodland walks, set alongside the Cleddau River. Steeped in history, this charming Georgian mill has now been beautifully restored and is the perfect place to stop for a cake and coffee after a days' exploring or to enjoy an evening meal.

Mallard’s Rest is one of two lodges at Canaston Waterside Lodges, boasting two large ponds, lawned meadows and uninterrupted distant views of the Pembrokeshire Countryside and Preseli Mountains. There is a large furnished decked terrace, ideal for alfresco dining and a hot tub, making this a peaceful retreat to relax and unwind. A perfect haven filled with nature and wildlife where you can sit back and enjoy the tranquil surroundings. And a great spot for bird watching too! Or you may feel like taking a stroll around the ponds and down to the river to explore more of the wildlife and views.

Enter the property through the front door into the open plan kitchen, living and dining area. Just to the left as you walk through the door, you’ll find coat hooks and a shoe rack – kick off your shoes and hang up your coats before you explore!
