About this property
Just above the beach at Freshwater East in Pembrokeshire, this detached, timber clad beach house makes a great holiday destination. The views over the bay are superb and the location second to none. You can take the footpath to the beach and there’s a friendly pub in the village which serves good food.
There are plenty of coves and bays to explore in the area including; Swanlake Bay, Barafundle Bay and Manorbier beach just a little farther along the coast path. Nearby are several towns worth exploring: Pembroke has a magnificent medieval castle, Tenby is a colourful town with a pretty harbour and 2 superb beaches and Saundersfoot also has a harbour and long sandy beach.
Freshwater East offers golden sands and clear blue waters backed by green craggy countryside and sheltered rocky sections. The dunes behind the beach are a local nature reserve known as The Burrows. The village is situated to the south of Lamphey, on the south west of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. You will find a pub and a restaurant as well as plenty of accommodation. The Coast Path in either direction is a delight. Walk east to remote Swanlake Bay and on to Manorbier, or take a journey west to Stackpole Quay, then carry on to Barafundle Beach. Freshwater East has a history dating back to the Iron Age, with the remains of a fort at East Cliff. During the Victorian period it was part of a busy social scene and very popular for outings and picnics. Lamphey is situated just 2 miles away and offers a small shop, a traditional pub and two restaurants, as well as Lamphey railway station on the Pembroke Dock branch running services along the West Wales Line. There are many watersports to take up in the area including; sailing, canoeing, surfing and water skiing, or you can simply relax on the beach and play ball games. With its elevated position, overlooking the bay, this wonderful destination draws visitors from all over. Pembroke is a medieval walled town about 4 miles north, with a magnificent castle, shops and tea rooms. A destination not to be missed!
