The sunny conservatory offers panoramic views across fields and out to sea above the nearby village of Porthgain. In summer watch the sun set over the Abereiddi valley or stroll down for supper to the Shed Bistro or the Sloop Inn in Porthgain. With water heating assisted by solar panels, Beacon Cottage is warm and comfortable and a lovely destination for a holiday at all times of year.
It is a pleasant walk or a short drive to Porthgain from which the Pembrokeshire Coast Path runs both east and west. The dramatic coastal scenery, flower and wildlife are what make Pembrokeshire one of the world’s best holiday destinations (National Geographic voted Pembrokeshire the 2nd best coastal destination in the world). Splendid at all times of year, the explosion of colour with the spring flowers is something to behold!
Neighbouring Abereiddi, has pretty colour-washed former miners’ cottages, black sandy beach (where dogs are welcome all year round) and the remarkable Blue Lagoon. Popular with families, the sand, which is visible at low tide, also contains a high concentration of fossils and is a draw for fossil hunters. Beach 2¾ miles. Pub and restaurant 1¾ miles.

Had a lovely week in horrible foggy, windy, wet weather.... this does affect the solar panels , so you need to be able to do the stairs to loft bedroom and bend to reach immersion to get hot water. Stairs are steep and narrow. So if you're booking for the more accessible downstairs shower /bathroom and bedroom bear this in mind. You'd need one able person to put the immersion on if needed. Lovely porthgain and the sloop and shed eateries 5 min drive , and lots of other lovely places including St Davids in easy access. The shed where the recycling g goes at end of week had a very warped stuck door which I struggled to open and struggled even more to shut! So again you do need someone there who's fit n strong and nimble .Conservatory was fab for feeling like you were in the Pembrokeshire countryside even when weather was foul! 😆Good for dog with walks from the door. But not fenced in/gated.

Not the warmest of welcomes but once you got past all the signs telling you "not to do this" or " don't do the other" and "make sure you recycle everything and sort your rubbish out" the cottage was very well appointed. Lovely peaceful location with a super view across the fields and out to sea. Warm and cosy, comfortable beds and beautifully kept. Could be outstanding with some very simple tweaks.

Great little cottage, unfortunitley the weather was so bad. We tried our hardest to keep the cottage clean as we had two small digs and it didn't matter where we went they got covered in mud and wet through. Other than that everything was great, living on the Island we are used to bad weather and muddy dogs. maybe we will come bad again, this time in the summer. Karen Isle of Wight
