About this property
A breathtaking waterside cottage, perfectly located in the heart of Fishguard Harbour, offers a warm and welcoming family escape. The property has a character like no other, largely down to the picturesque views from its idyllic location.
A breathtaking waterside cottage, perfectly located in the heart of Fishguard Harbour, which offers a warm and welcoming family escape. The property has a character like no other, largely down to the picturesque views from its idyllic location, as well as original features such as the exposed wooden ceiling beams and lovely artwork throughout.
The cosy lounge with fabulous harbour views has a wood-burning stove, with another snug which is the ideal place to relax and read some of the great books on offer. Prepare meals in the well-equipped kitchen/dining room with a large oven range cooker and a full complement of kitchen accessories.
There is an enclosed area to the rear of the property, perfect for pets or children, while the quay itself is a magnificent panorama of pretty little yachts and fishing boats, and friendly ducks where the River Gwaun meets the sea. Fishing for crabs off the Quay wall is a real favourite amongst the town's children. There is also a slipway for launching small boats as well as a delightful cafe serving fresh crab sandwiches in summer.
In addition, there are a number of glorious walks right from your doorstep, including along the River Gwaun through the wooded valley, and the coast path in both directions. There's an old fort to the north with breathtaking views across the bay, as well as the Marine Walk, which skirts around the Fishguard coast and is popular with local dog walkers.
Fishguard itself is a pretty little town with a number of welcoming pubs, tasty cafes, takeaways and restaurants, as well as a small supermarket and a farmers market on Saturday morning in the town hall. In addition, it's only a 10-minute drive to Newport with plenty of fine dining options. We recommend a cold tipple in the beer garden at the Royal Oak with fabulous views across the old harbour or a visit to the tiny, but characterful Fishguard Arms.
Guests are also centrally located to enjoy a fabulous selection of golden beaches, From Pwllgwaelod, Cwm-yr-Eglwys and Newport Sands in the north to Newgale, Abereiddy and Whitesands to the south. That's not to mention the huge array of rockier coves dotted around the coast if you're looking for more seclusion.
North Pembrokeshire also offers some of the best walking opportunities in Wales with its dramatic coastal scenery, the enchanting Gwaun Valley and the Preseli Hills also within easy reach. We recommend a visit to Strumble Head with its iconic lighthouse and abundant array of bird and sea life (there's a designated lookout shelter on the headland for wildlife enthusiasts). What's more the scenery around this often deserted headland is simply spectacular, particularly from the rocky peak of Garn Fawr looking towards Pwll Deri.
There is also a selection of other great discoveries around the area including the Dyffryn Arms, known affectionately as 'Bessie's' - an archaic watering hole that will transport you back in time, a well as, Melin Tregwynt, an internationally recognised woollen mill famous for its gorgeous throws and cushions.
Fishguard also offers a fascinating history as a trading port dating back to Norse times and in more recent times as a significant herring fishery (look out for the herring shoal along the harbour wall!). It was also the landing place of the last French invasion of 1797, beautifully depicted by a tapestry display in the town hall, while the area is famous for its Neolithic monuments and burial chambers, from Harbour Village in Goodwick leading up through Dinas, Newport all the way through the Preseli Hills.
35 Quay Street is in a stunning and unique location which makes this a truly wonderful holiday home for a relaxing family break.
Please note; bookings longer than 7 nights are on request only.
