This grand, charming period townhouse is packed with Victorian features and traditional furnishings for groups or families to relax in style during their getaway to the historic, picturesque town of Pembroke (less than half a mile) in Wales, Pembrokeshire. Explore the streets of colourful houses, stopping at delightful cafes, pubs and restaurants for refreshments. Take a guided tour of the waterside castle and learn about the town’s history at Pembroke Museum. Fancy a beach day on the scenic Pembrokeshire Coast? Visit Freshwater East (4.5 miles) which has a curved, sandy beach at low tide; or Barafundle Bay Beach (6.5 miles) that’s scenic and secluded as it’s only accessible via a half-mile walk from the carpark.
Each room of this grand period townhouse is filled with classic furnishings and accessories so the style matches the atmospheric building, creating impressive spaces for guests to relax on a memorable getaway. Walk into the entrance hall and stop to admire the original Victorian mosaic floor tiles. As a fun addition, there’s a ping pong table in here so guests can challenge one another during fun evenings indoors. A small flight of stairs leads down to the drawing room, which is a great space to spend time together. Relax across the sofas and armchairs, switch on the TV and open the bay windows that lead to the furnished, garden-view terrace so guests can flow in and out for a chilled-out evening of socialising. This floor has the grand dining room where group dinners can be shared at the large dining table, topped with a chandelier. An ornamental fireplace sits beside. There’s a twin bedroom with a TV for private relaxation, then stairs lead down to the kitchen that’s rustic and traditional with features like the flagstone floor, original pantry, ceiling beams and large AGA that makes an atmospheric central feature. There is a table and chairs for guests to relax as others rustle up those big dinners. The utility room is handy, with a washing machine and tumble dryer, as is the WC-included cloakroom. When it’s time to retire for the night, head upstairs to the bedrooms including three doubles with TVs and a triple room with three single beds and a TV. The master double bedroom is a highlight: relax in armchairs by the large, arched windows turn on the TV or pamper in your en-suite bathroom that boasts a spa bath (via one step up) and a shower above it. This top floor has three more bathrooms, so guests are always catered for: a shower room, a bathroom featuring a spa bath with a shower above it, and a bathroom with a luxurious free-standing bath and a shower cubicle.
The luxuries continue outside with a private terrace (accessed from the drawing room) which overlooks the garden. Relax across the benches, chairs and tables, enjoying glimpses of the town and greenery beyond as you sip your morning coffees or nightcaps. A ground-floor back door leads to the spacious garden with tranquil greenery and seating for sunbathing. Make al fresco group memories at the long dining table on the patio, whiling away evenings in this peaceful setting.
