A family bathroom and the second en-suite complete the first floor. Private parking for two cars sits conveniently beside the cottage.
Picture sun-drenched mornings with coffee on the lawn, the promise of sandy shores just moments away.

As evening settles, gather around the wood burner, recounting the day's adventures while flames flicker and warmth fills this characterful cottage.
Hafan y Traeth, Sandy Haven places you perfectly to discover Pembrokeshire's spectacular coastline and rich heritage. Skomer Island, reached by a 20-minute boat trip from Martin's Haven (9 km), is an internationally important seabird sanctuary where puffins, razorbills and guillemots nest in their thousands, while porpoises and dolphins frequently visit the surrounding waters. Pembroke Castle in the heart of Pembroke town (14 km) stands as one of Wales' most impressive medieval fortresses, its massive stone walls and towers telling centuries of turbulent history through excellent exhibitions and regular events. Hangar 5 in Haverfordwest (16 km) brings high-energy fun with Wales' first indoor trampoline park, featuring over 100 interconnecting trampolines, dodgeball courts and trick airbags perfect for active families. St Davids Cathedral (21 km) rises magnificently in Britain's smallest city, this great historic shrine of Christendom combining stunning medieval architecture with beautiful choral traditions and peaceful cloisters.
Journey further to uncover more of West Wales' treasures. Cilgerran Castle (49 km) occupies one of the most spectacularly sited positions in Wales, its romantic ruins perched dramatically on the edge of a steep gorge above the River Teifi, offering breathtaking views across the wooded valley below. The Welsh Wildlife Centre in Cilgerran (50 km) packs remarkable biodiversity into its compact reserve, with nature trails winding through varied habitats where otters, kingfishers and dragonflies thrive alongside seasonal wildflowers. Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park in Gwbert (54 km) combines friendly farm animal encounters with a fenced clifftop walk offering exceptional opportunities to spot grey seals hauled out on rocks below and bottlenose dolphins playing in the waves.
The historic town of Pembroke sits 15 kilometres from the cottage, where a thousand years of history unfolds along streets lined with architectural treasures, independent boutiques and welcoming traditional pubs serving excellent local produce. Meanwhile, Tenby lies 29 kilometres away. Probably Wales' most iconic seaside destination, where medieval castle walls encircle pastel-coloured Georgian houses overlooking three golden beaches, the harbour bustling with boat trips and the town offering superb restaurants, galleries and that timeless seaside charm that has captivated visitors for generations.
