Coach House, Holiday Cottage Stackpole , Sleeps 8, 4 bedrooms, bathrooms

The Coach House is a simply wonderful stone barn conversion set in the quiet hamlet on the outskirts of Stackpole with its popular Inn, serving great food, and less than 5 miles from Stackpole Quay, the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path and a choice of fabulous beaches.  Perfect for keen walkers, there are a host of footpaths which take you into the woodlands of the Stackpole Estate. This super cottage retains much of its traditional character with fine beams, white washed stone walls and wood and tiled floors. The heart has to be the large farmhouse-style kitchen/diner, a wonderful place to gather while you prepare family meals to be enjoyed together at the large dining room table, both this and the spacious sitting room with its stone Inglenook open to the extensive grounds that wrap around the cottage and extend to approximately one third of an acre with flagged terraces and sheltered lawns, mature shrubs and trees; ideal for alfresco dining and giving space for children to play- a real escape where you can relax and reconnect with nature. Bird and wildlife enthusiasts will be in their element.The hall is a practical space for all your walking gear, while there is a useful utility/wet room and 2 bedrooms on the ground floor, open tread stairs lead up to a double bedroom and shower room nestling in the eaves on the first floor and a second set of stairs from the kitchen take you to another double with ensuite bathroom, making this ideal for 2 families or multi-generations to get together. Conveniently located with extensive walks on your doorstep, head to Stackpole Quay with its National Trust tea rooms, keen kayakers will enjoy heading out to explore the coves and beaches from here or take to the Coastal Path to reach the beautiful Barafundle Beach, there are a number of stunning beaches all closeby, a walk round the Lily Ponds at Bosherston and onto Broad Haven South Beach should not be missed, or to the east lies Freshwater East.  Explore the 6th Century St Govans Chapel, built into the rocky cliffs or the iconic Green Bridge of Wales, both are accessed through the Castlemartin Military Firing Range, while sometimes used for military training, this area which extends to over 6,000 acres all within the Pembrokeshire Coastal National Park, has rare flora and fauna and seasonal opening of footpaths, it offers a unique opportunity to access less frequented sections of the Coastal Path. The Angle peninsula is also on your doorstep, so visit Freshwater West, the location for the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows movie and Robin Hood, this long sandy beach is popular with surfers, but watch out for the currents, or head further on to West Angle Beach.  The medieval town of Pembroke with its magnificent Castle, birthplace of Henry VII, is well worth a visit and offers plenty of shops to wander, or take a stroll round The Mill Pond after exploring the castle.  The Coach House is an ideal holiday home to get together and enjoy quality time together whatever the season, while exploring one of the most beautiful parts of South Pembrokeshire, once visited you will just want to return.
