Y Beudy Boncath, Pembrokeshire

A spacious dog-friendly cottage for two with its own sauna, Y Beudy in Pembrokeshire is on a smallholding in an idyllic rural setting, within easy reach of the Preseli Hills and the beautiful coasts of Pembrokeshire and Cardigan Bay. This cosy cottage is perfect for summer holidays and out-of-season walking breaks. The courtyard looks out onto the beautiful Preseli Hills. There is a small duck pond (complete with ducks!), and although the setting is rural, you are within walking distance of a small shop. Y Beudy offers a comfortable home-from-home for quiet relaxation and an excellent base for exploring the local area. Perfect for walkers and wildlife enthusiasts, it is within a 15-minute drive of Cardigan with its castle, wildlife-spotting boat trips, cinema and choice of shops, pubs and places to eat, and also Cilgerran, home to The Welsh Wildlife Trust, the 13th-century castle and the picturesque Gorge, a lovely place to walk, fish or canoe on the River Teifi. The North Pembrokeshire beaches of Poppit Sands and Newport Sands are just a 20-minute drive, while on Cardigan Bay, we recommend the beautiful beach and dolphin-spotting point at Mwnt. Walking, mountain biking, and horse riding are all available in the Preseli Hills, and the coast offers activities such as kayaking, surfing and coasteering. Further afield, St Davids, Tenby and The National Botanic Garden of Wales are all within an hour’s drive. ACCOMMODATION Y Beudy sleeps 2 in a king size bed.
