About this property
This superb Milford Haven cottage is on the lower side of two semi-detached properties, with the added advantage of a separate, large private terrace area overlooking the tidal estuary. The direct access down stone steps to the shingle beach make it perfect for walks along the shoreline, watching small boats pass by and enjoy the variety of birds overhead and on the water. With parking by the cottage and more shared private parking just up the road there is plenty of room for your own boat too. The delightfully spacious rooms of this Milford Haven cottage are individually designed and decorated, and the two Juliet balconies give wonderful views from two of the bedrooms as well as the living area. A perfect setting, all year round.
The town of Milford Haven overlooks the Cleddau Waterway and boasts a pretty marina, interesting shops, tea rooms and restaurants including those which serve freshly caught fish. The beaches, coastal path and lovely towns of Pembrokeshire are within easy reach.

The location is perfect, right on the estuary and very near to Milford Haven town. The house was very clean and provides everything you need. The beds were comfortable. Would definitely recommend.

The dishwasher had broken parts and there was no chopping board. We loved being there anyway and watching different birds as the tide changed was superb
