Shell Cottage in Fishguard offers stunning harbour views and a peaceful location, ideal for exploring South Wales. Guests appreciate the well-equipped property and its beautiful terrace, though some mention the steep drive and minor maintenance issues. The tranquil garden and local walks add to the charm of this cosy cottage.
The property generally appears clean, but some guests noted areas that could have been better attended to, such as cobwebs and unclean tiles. There was also a mention of mice, which suggests room for improvement in cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its wonderful views and peaceful setting. It's conveniently situated for exploring the area, with easy access to local attractions and walks, despite some concerns about the steep drive.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, with a well-received welcome pack and a cosy atmosphere. However, some guests mentioned issues with bed comfort and a damp smell in one of the rooms, indicating that while generally comfortable, there are aspects that could be enhanced.
The cottage is well-equipped, but there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as lighting problems, slippery decking, and a challenging drive. These factors suggest that while the facilities are adequate, they require attention to detail and upkeep.
Unfortunately we’ve been unable assess this category comprehensively enough based on the reviews we’ve received from guests about this property.
Perched in an unbeatable location overlooking Lower Town Harbour and Fishguard in Pembrokeshire is Shell Cottage. This delightful, dog-friendly bungalow is the perfect choice for a family coastal getaway thanks to its three well-appointed bedrooms, garden area, barbecue, off-road parking and open-plan living space. Ultise the parking at the top of the driveway before crossing the threshold into your new home-from-home. Step straight into the open-plan living space where you can unwind on the plush sofas with your loved ones while the designated chef of the group makes a start on dinner. Gather the family around the dining table to tuck into their culinary creations or if the sun is shining why not head outside to the private decking where you can dine alfresco in the sun? There’s even a barbecue so you can cook up a storm during the summer months. Admire the sun as it sets over the harbour before travelling back inside to wash off the day’s adventures in the family bathroom ahead of catching up on some much-needed rest and relaxation in the king-size with en-suite, double or twin bedroom. In the morning venture out to explore all that Fishguard has to offer; find local convenience stores where you can stock up on all of your essentials as well as pubs which are ideal for nights when you don’t fancy cooking! Look forward to picturesque walks along the harbour; keen ramblers will be in their element as the Pembrokeshire coastal path runs through the village opening up an abundance of charming seaside villages for exploration. On sunny days, pack up your towels and head to Aberfforest or Newport Beach where you can bask in the sun, splash in the sea or enjoy dog walks with your beloved pooch. Other must-visit, nearby attractions include Dyffryn Fernant Garden, Castell Henllys Iron Age Village and Oakwood theme park for a day of family fun! Make unforgettable memories at Shell Cottage!
Fishguard is an ideal holiday destination on the award-winning Pembrokeshire Coast, which has been voted the second best coastal destination in the world according to the National Geographic magazine. The town itself has an array of gift shops, tea rooms, restaurants and pubs and offers the opportunity of viewing the superb Last Invasion Tapestry, which has been compared to the Bayeux Tapestry. Day trips to Ireland run daily and the picturesque Lower Fishguard Harbour is a delight for sailing enthusiasts. From this perfect holiday base you can enjoy the amazing coastline, the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, the beautiful Preseli Hills, where the Stonehenge Blue Stones originated, or explore the array of historic castles, working mills and visit the smallest city in Wales with its magnificent St. Davids Cathedral.
