Tri Pysgodyn, Holiday Cottage Abercastle, Sleeps 4, 2 bedrooms, bathrooms

Tri Pysgodyn (Three Fishes) was originally a fisherman’s cottage built at least 180 years ago set just 300 yards from the beach in Abercastle. Retaining many of the period features it has been modernised to provide a very comfortable holiday accommodation for four people. The southwest facing cottage is in an idyllic, quiet position, a stone’s throw from the beach with sea views from the house and garden. The entrance porch is convenient for storing walking clothes & boots and opens into a spacious open plan living area. At one end, there is a very well-equipped modern kitchen and traditional dining area. The original large Inglenook kitchen fireplace houses a Welsh dresser. At the other end of the living area is a stone fireplace and log burning stove flanked by comfortable modern sofas. The cottage is lovely and cosy for autumn and winter evenings.A spiral staircase leads to the upstairs accommodation where both bedrooms have sea views. The main bedroom has a king size double bed and a convenient self-contained washroom. The twin bedroom can be converted into a king size double bed on prior request. There is a small terraced area immediately outside the cottage with a bench to sit and enjoy the view or watch the world go by. The garden is a super suntrap and is reached by steep steps immediately to the side of the cottage. There are amazing views and the stunning sunsets can be enjoyed from here.  Abercastle Cove is picturesque & unspoilt and still used to land fish and lobsters. Neolithic Carreg Samson is on the hilltop. There is a beach and at low tide with rock pools to explore. The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path is virtually on the doorstep with its dramatic cliffs, inlets, sea bridges and caves with seals and their pups being readily seen in the late summer and autumn. The cove itself is very popular for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding and also coasteering. It is also an excellent base for cycling the pretty, narrow and quiet country lanes. Nearby villages of Trefin and Mathry have pubs and a tea room (serving breakfasts) at Mathry.  A little further afield, is the popular Porthgain, with the Sloop Inn and The Shed Fish Bistro, along with art galleries and locally made ice cream shop.
