Tranquil Cottage near the Sea

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway. Located less than a mile from the sea and nestling in a sheltered valley, The Cart House, an original stone barn stands on a quiet lane in the beautiful Pembrokeshire Coast National Park countryside. With wonderful countryside walks and the beautiful long beach of Newgale and tiny Nolton Haven cove nearby, surfing and sand castles, paddling and watersports await. The Cart House is positioned perfectly for your family holiday or romantic getaway. The space Bright yet cosy and with many original features, exposed beams and alcoves retained, the cottage is furnished with pine furniture and comfy sofas. Relax on sunny mornings by the south facing French doors. Chill out in the evenings by the open fire. Enter through the stable door to the well equipped kitchen with dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washing machine, microwave oven, toaster and cooker. Through a lobby you will find the modern bathroom with whb, W.C. and shower over the bath. From the dining area reach the spacious lounge with comfy sofas by the open fireplace and 43" Smart TV with freesat. Stairs lead to the two bedrooms and separate upstairs W.C. Comfortable beds with hotel quality mattresses and percale bedlinen invite a good night’s sleep. The twin bedroom has a door to the private and totally enclosed garden and patio with picnic table. The garden is fenced and is ideal for your dog. It can also be reached up the steps at the front of the cottage. There is also a lawned area at the front and the side of the cottage. From the double bedroom window is a view out over the woodland. There is a spacious off road car parking area. Guest access Guests have access to the full cottage and off road parking, and to the surrounding fields by request. Other things to note We are blessed at Bathesland hamlet to be surrounded by miles of wonderful countryside, much of which is National Trust owned. Walk via the neighbouring National Trust Southwood Estate, accessed just up the lane, to reach the coast within a mile or take a longer route through woodland, beach and coastal path for a circular route. (Please look up 'Southwood Estate Wildlife Walk' and 'Southwood Estate Coast to Coast walk' for details) Stroll the fields and watch the wonderful sunsets over the sea. Watch out for the flora and fauna in this wildlife haven. You may see barn owls, foxes, badgers and many birds, butterflies and different species. Spend lazy days on the golden sands at Newgale with the family or explore the many other beaches in Pembrokeshire. Admire the wonderful diversity of wild flowers on the coast path or take a trip out to the islands and see puffins, gannets and many other sea birds. Or sample the many adrenaline-fuelled activities here. There is so much to enjoy in this wonderful county. DOGS Please ask if you would like to bring your dog or dogs. We welcome a maximum of 2 well behaved dogs for a small charge. ELECTRIC VEHICLES There are facilities for charging electric vehicles about one and a half miles away at both Newgale and Nolton Haven car parks. Charging from the electric sockets at the cottage is not permitted. CHARGING DEVICES AT THE COTTAGE Please do not leave any electrical items unattended when charging. CHANGEOVER DAY Please note that our weekly changeover day in the main holiday season and school holidays is normally Friday. Please ask if you would like to book a shorter stay or if you wish to overlap two Friday to Friday weeks. STEPS AND SAFETY If one of your party has a problem with steps, you can park on the side of the road outside the cottage when you arrive and let them in via the French doors. This will avoid using any steps. There are steps from the car park and another in the path and into the cottage going through the stable door and another from the threshold in the kitchen area. There are also steps from the twin bedroom leading down into the garden. For your safety and in case of fire, please familiarise yourselves with the layout of the cottage, particularly with the step down in the kitchen by the stable door; also the layout of the landing and stairs. Please note that there is an exit from the cottage upstairs through the twin bedroom.
