Delve into this beautiful part of Pembrokeshire with a cluster of four traditional Welsh cottages at Dinas Country Club, which once formed part of an old monastery built over 650 years ago. The cottages were originally the barns and chapel and have now been lovingly restored, maintaining all of the original character and charm, each cottage is nestled in the carefully manicured 22 acres of lawned grounds at the Dinas Country Club and surrounded by woodland. The cottages are within walking distance of Dinas Cross a small hamlet and all its amenities on the dramatic north Pembrokeshire coast and within the Pembrokeshire National Park. A coastal path runs through the site which formed part of the old pilgrims’ trail, indeed there is even a ’holy’ well where the monks would offer sustenance to pilgrims on their annual journey to St Davids. The footpath leads down to the pretty beaches of Cwm yr Eglwys, Pwllgwaelod and Aberfforest, with their scenic sea views of Dinas Head island.

Enjoy dining al fresco on the patio with commanding views of the wooded valley below.

Great location close to 3 good beaches, lovely walksHowever accommodation was rather disappointing No working plug sockets in bedroom and also next to electric fireReported it as soon as we arrived and was told an electrician would be sentStayed 5 nights, no electrician arrived Managed to cope without, but would have expected better for price. Also very tiny bedroom with small window which felt a little cramped and ‘airless’ stayed during heatwave spell, but was unable to plug my fan in due to non working sockets Also dog left barking for over 2 hours on nearby balcony on a couple of evenings
