For a restorative solo or couples’ trip deep in the Pembrokeshire countryside, book a stay at this charming one-bedroom apartment located on the owner’s sweet smallholding. It’s in a lovely rural spot 2 miles from Cresswell Quay, a tidal hamlet with a welcoming waterside pub where you can enjoy a drink in the evening. Beach enthusiasts will love the area, with many exquisite coastal towns and villages nearby, including Tenby, Saundersfoot and Lydstep, all within 8 miles.

You’ll enter the property via a staircase up to the top floor. Inside, a bright, open-plan living area combines the lounge, kitchen and dining room in the eaves of the house. The decor is simple with splashes of colour to create a welcoming atmosphere. There’s a cosy sofa and a TV/DVD player for relaxing in the evenings, a dining table for enjoying meals together and a well-equipped kitchen. Doors from here lead out to a Juliet balcony offering lovely views over the smallholding. Outside, you’ll have access to a private patio for sipping coffee or beer in the fresh air.

If you’re keen for a long leg stretch, join the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path at Tenby (6 miles) and follow it along in either direction for scenic sea views all the way. History fans will appreciate visits to majestic castles in Tenby, Manorbier, Carew and Pembroke (all within 7 miles). For a memorable day out in peak season, you can board a boat at Tenby Harbour to Caldey Island, located 3 miles offshore and home to Cistercian monks. There’s plenty to delight lovers of nature, too, such as Cleddau Woodlands and Colby Woodland Garden, both National Trust sites around miles from the apartment.
