Spacious, cosy home on the Pembs coastal path, close to St. Davids and beaches

Set in the beautiful Pembrokeshire National Park, just a minute or so from Pembrokeshire's famously stunning coastal path, Tirmynydd (formerly known as Thimble End cottage) is situated in the tranquil heart of old Upper Solva.

Built in the late 1700's, Tirmynydd has an abundance of period features. Exposed beams in the lounge/diner, deep set windows for sitting in with a good book and a homely welsh stone hearth to gather around after a day's walking on the coastal path or a day at the beach! The well-equipped kitchen with all mod cons offers everything you need to cook and dine with family and friends. A sunny, enclosed garden is ideal for barbeques, play and relaxation. You're welcome to bring your dogs (2 max, free for 1 dog and £25 for the second per week) and there's WiFi, as you'd expect.

There are numerous pretty paths to take you down to picturesque Solva harbour, where children play on the sand when the tide is out, while others walk their dogs. The views on the way are breathtaking, quite unspoiled and different from one day to the next. Sit and watch the fishermen come in with the daily catch, families crabbing from the quay or wander along the quayside to the quaint little shops and galleries. Perhaps you will stop for refreshment in one of the several pubs and bistros near the harbour, or the brilliant 'Café on the Quay' serving teas, coffees and the most delicious Welsh ice cream - well worth a visit! When it comes to dining, choose to leave the car and take advantage of the excellent places to eat within easy walking distance from Tirmynydd, serving fresh catch-of-the-day, or venture a little further afield to St Davids or Porthgain for everything from afternoon teas to fine cuisine.

Whether it's adrenaline-inducing watersports, boat trips to offshore islands, or coasteering you are after, or beaches, a little leisurely tourism, eating out or simply relaxing in the secluded garden under the pergola, Tirmynydd offers a comfortable, quiet base from which to explore beautiful Pembrokeshire, whatever the season.

N.B
Comfortable for 6 adults + 2 children in beds
Discounts for smaller parties are available (excluding school holidays)

2 dogs maximum are very welcome at Tirmynydd, 1 dog is free but a second is charged at £25 a week. Bowls for your furry friends are available for your use at the cottage.

Character and value for money.
We stayed for two weeks and very much enjoyed our time. House is full of character and charm, clean and in walking distance of Solva village and coastal path. Comfortable beds, spacious and fulfilling every need. I thought it was also very reasonably priced. Great for a family.

The house was well equipped and comfortable. It was in a super location a short stroll from the village centre. We had a great stay and would happily return in the future.

Our Stay.
Excellent property and location, very well equipped. Only disappointment was the garden was not secure enough to let our dog run free. Gaps in the roadside hedge and the gates too low. Real shame as we would look to return if not for this. However this did not spoil our stay.

Great location and comfortable house
Solva really nice and pubs , restaurants and shops etc all walkable from house . Stunning walks from the doorstep . The only negative thing I would say is the garden . Not what I would consider secure for a dog . My pup was fine but if he had wanted to could have easily escaped . Other than that great

Comfortable, well-organised cottage in lovely location
My parents and I stayed here with our dogs and all had a wonderful time! The cottage is spacious and very well-equipped and the charming garden was a lovely place to relax. The house is well-situated in Upper Solva, and one can walk to the coastal path and gorgeous views within minutes, or down to the harbour and Lower Solva within about 10. We had everything we needed and felt the warmth of hospitality and welcome (dogs included) in the way things were laid out and house instructions shared. Didn't want to leave!

Beautiful Solva
We had the best family holiday, made even more special by having our dogs with us. The cottage we stayed in was absolutely fantastic. Clean, spacious, comfortable, fully equipped. Everything you needed was thoughtfully provided for. The beaches, scenery made our days exhilarating and varied. We loved the coastal walking experience. Stunning scenery. Everything we went people were so friendly and welcoming. Thank you Solva.
