Converted cowshed set on a farm at the heart of Lydstep, a quiet village with a popular pub, pretty beach and easy access to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path.

Get back to basics with a stay in the pretty Welsh village of Lydstep, staying in a charming 17th-century property that’s moments from the village pub and just half a mile from a sandy beach. Located on the renowned Pembrokeshire Coast Path, you’ll never feel short-changed for outdoor excursions when staying in this undeniable beauty spot. Perfect for families, this farmland accommodation has been lovingly converted to provide a welcoming home-from-home base. It’s even powered by solar panels, ideally suited to those eco-conscious holidaymakers who prefer a sustainable stay.

 

Featuring traditional decor throughout, this quirky cottage offers more than enough space for four guests and is arranged over one storey. Socialising becomes effortless in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, a space that’s punctuated by warming gas fire that emits a cosy glow. Prepare meals together in the well-equipped kitchen and sit down to mealtimes together. The lounge boasts comfortable sofas to sink into at the end of each day and a TV/DVD for your entertainment. Completing the property is two bedrooms, one double and one twin, along with access to a shared garden with lawn space and furniture.

 

Offering a peaceful hidden gem in the bustling Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, Lydstep boasts an inviting local pub and a beautiful beach that’s certainly off the beaten track. With walking boots in tow, be sure to follow some of the impressive Pembrokeshire Coast Path to take in the area’s rugged seascapes, keeping a close eye out for seals basking by the water along the way. Following this path leads you to the nearby town of Tenby (4 miles), an ever-popular holiday destination with plenty of history to explore. Walk along its original town walls, pay a visit to the castle and ruins and perhaps board a boat to Caldey Island (7 miles) to pick up locally made perfume and chocolate.

Had a really nice stay here. I have a car so it was easy to nip into Tenby/Saundersfoot or in my case all over Pembrokeshire. Just a 5 minute walk and you're right on Pembrokeshire coastal path with stunning views. Really great location. Owners are lovely. They will help with anything straight away if you need it. But leave you to relax and enjoy yRead moreour holiday. I will definitely be returning again hopefully soon. Hide

A mixed experience for us: Pros: Good location, spacious and mostly clean. Cons: We had a confusing start, with no welcome pack or travel cot on arrival. The cottage is tired and needs some tlc. From numerous minor repairs such as broken laminate sections and kitchen bin pedal, to smaller touches such as not a single set of matching cutlery. In shoRead morert, it's ok, but definitely feels like 3 star until it gets some more love, and probably one to avoid with kids or those with mobility concerns. Hide

Lovely time at this house. Spacious home, all on ground floor level. Well equipped kitchen with all essentials. Cool at night too as easy to get a through draft. On main road so good easy access to all areas of Pembrokeshire. Hosts welcoming and friendly.

A lovely, well fitted out cottage. The biscuits, bread and margarine left for us were greatly appreciated. Conveniently located with a nice pub across the road. A very comfortable place from which to see Pembrokeshire.
