About this cottage:

• Pembrokeshire cottage (Cresswell Quay) to let set deep in beautiful, tranquil countryside at the edge of a tiny hamlet - a walkers, painters and birdwatcher's paradise.
• The cottage, with wooden floors throughout, is tastefully decorated and furnished in a Scandinavian style.
• The lounge/diner/kitchen, a light, airy, spacious room, has a large Danish woodburning stove and patio doors opening out onto a decking area - ideal for outdoor eating.
• There is a large garden with apple trees, an ancient stone pig sty and a wild flower meadow.
• Steep wooded banks frame the sweeping bend in the river at Cresswell Quay - an idyllic spot for watching the sunset, having a picnic or a drink at the old riverside pub, the Cresselly Arms.

• Lots of bird life on this tidal river - herons, a great variety of waders, kingfishers and across the water is Scotland Wood with buzzards soaring high above the trees.
• Why not try a canoe or kayak trip on a summers evening along the river from Lawrenny to Cresswell Quay or a walk along the river bank through mystical ancient oak woodland with views across the river to Benton Castle?

• For large supermarket shopping visit Pembroke Dock about 4 miles away. For more individual and interesting shops including a delicatessen and green grocer try Pembroke also about 4 miles away.

• South Pembrokeshire's finest golden beaches - Broad Haven South, Freshwater West, Barafundle, Manorbier and Tenby are all nearby and other family favourites like Oakwood Leisure Park, Folly Farm, Heatherton Country Park, romantic ruined Carew Castle and Tidal Mill are all within a short drive of this rural Pembrokeshire cottage.

• Narberth is a bustling old town with many independent and individual shops, galleries, crafts, antiques a choice of places to eat and drink and a free car park (except summer).

• The pretty village of Stackpole has an award winning Inn serving excellent food. Look out for the Millennium arch over the school gate on the opposite side of the road. The tiny picturesque quay ( National Trust) has the Boathhouse Tearoom close by. An ideal place in which to drink tea in the garden and watch the world go by. The energetic should take picnics and bathing costumes and walk over the headland to Barafundle Bay. A beautiful spot for a swim and claimed to have 'everything to make a summer special'.

• Walk along the river bank, listen to the birds. Look for little whitewashed Benton Castle nestled in the trees on the opposite side of the river and enjoy a leisurely meal and bottle of wine on the lawn of award winning Quayside Cafe.

• The water taxi runs up and down the river Cleddau from Lawrenny to Dale calling in at various places along the way. Hop on and off to visit villages and towns on the river.

• Keen, fit walkers might enjoy this surprisingly taxing walk with continued interest along the way including woodland stretches and magnificent coastal scenery.

• The chamber is spectacularly placed above Manorbier Bay. It has two small side stones and a cap stone.

• Riding opportunities for all the family through the Pembrokeshire countryside.
• Lots to enjoy near this holiday cottage in rural Pembrokeshire. Enjoy the tranquility of the detached section of the National park along the upper reaches of the Eastern & Western Cleddau - a bird watchers delight throughout the year.
