Overview
Property code: 92280

This quirky, romantic bolthole for two nestled on the picture-perfect Pembrokeshire Coast Path is the perfect peaceful spot to treat yourselves to a little quiet time together. Whether you're seeking relaxation, adventure or a glimpse into the past, the charming coastal village of Angle is the ultimate romantic choice for couples looking to connect to the natural beauty of the sea, sand and coast.

Boasting extra special homely touches everywhere you turn, this quirky horse lorry conversion oozes cosiness and character, perfectly reflecting the charm of the surrounding coastline. Let the coastal vibe inspire your cooking by whipping up a feast for two in the open-plan kitchen/dining area and enjoy your efforts at the built-in dining bench. Curl up on the comfy leather sofa in the lounge area and unwind to the soft crackles of the roaring wood burner. Head to the front of the horsebox to retire to the double bedroom for a well-earned rest before tomorrow’s adventure; a handy sofa bed caters for an additional two guests. Admire superb views overlooking Angle Bay by dining alfresco on the decking and stargazing way past bedtime.

The charming village of Angle is a hidden gem in Pembrokeshire’s crown, offering plenty of birdwatching opportunities and rich local history; Chapel Bay Fort (1.5 miles) on the southern shore of the Milford Haven Waterway is not to be missed. At the mouth of the Milford Haven Estuary, sunbathe on the gloriously golden sand of West Angle Bay Beach less than a mile away before joining the circular coastal walk on the Wales Coast Path to be rewarded with spectacular sea views of the red sandstone cliffs. Discover the independent shops and restaurants and the 11th-century castle in Pembroke, 10.5 miles away.

The most comfortable lorry I have ever slept in. Beautifully laid out and well equipped. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in a lovely, quiet location. Lots of walking on the doorstep and a pub next door, what more do you need?

We had a fabulous stay, the views and remote location were ideal especially with the nice weather we got. Our wee dog loved the coastal walk and nearby beaches.

If you want remote peace and quiet with views to die for then this is it. You like sailing and messing on the sea then this is the place. Wagon has been done beautifully and is so homely and cosy. Stunning views across the bay. We will definitely be back. Cant fault anything as everything was catered for. 10 out of 10 for wagon. Amazing place.
