Bwthyn Gerrig

The space Bwthyn Gerrig is a delightful traditional stone cottage set in a cluster of cottages on the lane to Abereiddy, just a 10 minute walk from the beach and the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path. Sympathetically renovated throughout, the cottage retains its original features and character. Comfortably furnished, the open plan living space in the original part of the cottage has A-frame beams and exposed stone walls. A step leads into the newly fitted kitchen with a one step down to this large dining and living area with its comfortable seating, a really cosy spot with a wood burning stove. A hallway leads to 2 double bedrooms and an updated family bathroom and the sunny main sitting room has a dual aspect and French doors which open to the enclosed garden. This is a sheltered spot with a lawn and paved patio where you can dine alfresco on a summer’s evening and enjoy the sunsets- there is also an outside tap for washing your wetsuits. Alternatively, enjoy a coffee in the morning sun on the bench to the side of the cottage and admire the view to Strumble Head. Spiral stairs lead from the dining room to a further twin room nestling in the eaves, but watch your head, the beams are low. A step down from the parking area leads into the welcoming entrance hall where there is a modern shower room and a useful utility area. Both are ideal after days at the beach or walking the coastal path. Perfect for keen walkers with footpaths abounding, the picturesque beach of Abereiddy is only a 10 minute walk away next to the Blue Lagoon made famous by the Red Bull World Cliff Diving Championship. The beautiful, secluded beach at Traeth Llyfn is a short walk away. This area is ideal for water sport enthusiasts and kayakers, while nature lovers and birdwatchers will be charmed by the regular sightings of seal pups in the Autumn and varied sea bird population. Take to the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path to explore this stunning rugged coastline on foot, the ‘Puffin Shuttle’ is ideal for the return trip. Head north along the coast to Porthgain with its popular pub, restaurant and art gallery, or further on lies Trefin with Aberfelin Beach below and the nearby fishing village of Abercastle whose harbour is still used by local fishermen today. To the south lies the famous beach of Whitesands, loved by families but also surfers, both professionals and beginners alike. A visit to the tiny City of St Davids just a 10 minute drive away is a must, with its excellent selection of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as its majestic Cathedral and Bishops Palace steeped in history. Bwthyn Gerrig is a charming holiday cottage perfect for families and couples alike to explore from whatever the season.
