About this property

A stylish cottage near the picturesque harbour of Lower Fishguard

The cottage is situated in a quiet square in the fishing village of Lower Fishguard.
The semi detached cottage has been stylishly decorated and furnished to reflect its seaside location with a light and contemporary feel. The cottage has a twin and double bedroom; bathroom with over head shower; a lounge with an open fire & two sofas; a separate breakfast/ dining room. The small galley kitchen leads to a sun room with table and chairs, overlooking the secluded garden - ideal for breakfast or an early evening drink.

The cottage is a 2 minute walk to the picturesque harbour, and is a short walk or drive uphill (steep) to the main town of Fishguard. Lower Fishguard has a welcoming pub, a pretty harbour, cafe and a lovely walk along the coastal paths either towards Fishguard or to the Old Fishguard Fort.


Pembrokeshire Coastal Path: The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path includes some of the most spectacular coastal walking, scenery, & diverse wildlife in Britain. The path via Fishguard, Pembroke & Tenby takes you across beautiful white beaches, over cliff tops carpeted with spring and summer wild flowers, past colonies of seabirds, such as puffins, cormorants & gulls nesting along the cliffs, & seals, porpoises and dolphin swimming offshore.
There are Norman castles on the coast, hermit churches, picturesque harbours & villages, & the magnificent St David’s Cathedral in Britain’s smallest city where you can get boats to the offshore islands of Skomer, Ramsey & Caldey to see seals & nesting sea birds.

Tourist Attractions: Pembrokeshire has no shortage of leisure parks and places of interest, such as Oakwood Theme Park which now has the biggest wooden roller coaster in Europe; Folly Farm - Wales' premier farm attraction; Great Wedlock Dinosaur Park where you can meet dinosaurs in the wild. There are Wildlife Parks, Sports Parks, Golf Courses, Leisure Centres, & Art & Craft galleries where you can view & buy work from local artists, such as Workshop Wales, Oriel Glan y Mor Gallery, & Harbour Lights Gallery. The new Ocean Lab in Goodwick has a cyber cafe, & interactive displays & exhibitions.
The information box in the cottage has lots of leaflets to help you plan your holiday, and the excellent Tourist Information Centre in the Town Hall, Upper Town will help with your enquiries.
There are so many activities and alternatives to the beach, or things to do if the weather is bad, that we can't imagine that you would ever be stuck for something to do in Pembrokeshire - the problem will be choosing what to do next!

Fishguard: Upper & Lower Town & Goodwick: Lower Town has a picturesque harbour with a pretty little quayside lined with fisherman's cottages - the location for the town of Llareggub used in the 1970s film of Dylan Thomas' play, Under Milk Wood, starring Richard Burton. There is also a yacht club, cafe, a welcoming pub & lovely walks down along the Gwaun Valley & up the hill to the Old Fort. It was here that the last invasion of Britain took place in 1797, & the town displays a tapestry depicting scenes from the battle.
Upper Town can be reached by car, or on foot (steep hill!) & has a wide variety of shops, restaurants, pubs, & galleries, a bookshop, a playground, and a small cinema.
A trip to Ireland is possible with the new high-speed catamaran link between Pembrokeshire and Rosslare, now just a short journey away.
The annual Fishguard International Music Festival is held in July, & in May there is the Fishguard Folk Festival. Fishguard makes a perfect holiday base, there's lots to do close by & lots to explore further afield.

lovely cottage
stilecht und vollständig eingerichtetes Ferienhaus in Laufreichweite vom Hafen. Ruhige Nebenstraße mit netten Nachbarn, man spricht hier noch miteinander. Im Haus war alles vorhanden, sogar Liegestühle und eine Waschmaschine. Lediglich das Doppelbett ist für große Personen (ca. 1.90m) recht knapp bemessen. Fishguard ist gut erreichbar, sogar die Aida ankert hier. Supermärkte sind im Oberdorf. Wandermöglichkeiten sind in der Umgebung leicht zu finden: alles an der Küste ist einfach schön. Die Kathedrale in St. Davids ist auch unbedingt einen Besuch wert.

Wonderful Welsh Stay
We had 6 nights in this pretty quaint cottage easily spacious enough for 2 and a fantastic base to explore the surrounding beautiful area of Fishguard, Pembrokeshire & Ceredigion. The property was well equipped, especially the kitchen, which although compact had everything needed to prepare any meals etc. Location wise the cottage is easily within walking distance to peaceful Lower Fishguard (or up a steep hill to the busier Upper Town) and we always found a parking space outside when we came back after a day out which was a bonus. The little conservatory was lovely to sit in early morning with a cuppa or on an evening with a glass (or 2) of vino. The lounge was comfy and cosy to watch tv in the evening if not eating out and the separate dining area was great for breakfast or evening meals. The bathroom had a bath & overhead shower and although small suited our needs. The double bedroom was roomy enough & comfortable with plenty of storage for our clothes and there was also a second twin bedroom with enough storage too. Even though we booked through VRBO our host Karen was quick to answer any questions and provided plenty of helpful information both in the cottage and by email. The neighbours next door were so friendly (but not invasive) and the Ship Inn became our “local” for several nights during our stay. Overall we had a great stay and would recommend this clean quiet little cottage to those who love exploring like us or just want a peaceful break in wonderful Wales.

Leuke Cottage centraal gelegen in Pembrokeshire
De Cottage is klein (voor 4 volwassenen) maar goed uitgerust en zeer smaakvol ingericht. De serre en de tuin zijn heerlijke plekken om te zitten. Het contact met de eigenaresse was prettig en heel gemakkelijk. De buren zijn erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. De bedden zijn wat oud en wellicht aan vervanging toe. Vanuit Fishguard kan je gemakkelijk de Pembrokeshire regio verkennen.

Fabulous!
A gorgeous little cottage just a short walk from the picturesque quay of Lower Town, Fishguard. There was absolutely everything you could need for the perfect holiday - all you need to bring is yourself. And clothes! The neighbours were lovely and friendly, the cottage comfortable, the garden charming. My sister and I were tempted to invoke squatters rights! 10/10 would recommend.
