About this property
Hen Ty LLaeth, Aberfforest, right on the beach and with uninterrupted sea views
Our cottage is a home from home, set above Aberfforest Beach with uninterrupted sea views from most rooms. Stroll down to the beach to explore or swim; enjoy walking along the Pembrokeshire coastal path, delighting in the beautiful coves and wildlife, take a short walk along the stream beside the cottage and through the ancient woodland to admire the waterfall, or relax on the patio, watching the sea and possibly the occasional seal, porpoise or dolphin swim by.
The cottage is well equipped for any holiday, providing accommodation for 7 in 4 bedrooms, together with an upstairs lounge, downstairs lounge and dining room and a conservatory. It can be enjoyed in any season from summer with patio furniture to enjoy the sea views through to winter, where full central heating and an aga means you can enjoy a bright crisp frosty morning or stormy sea views from the warmth of one of the two lounges.
Aberfforest is a very special bay on this beautiful coastline, blessed with tiny coves and a favourite haunt of seals and dolphins. The bay, which can only be approached by the general public via a long footpath, is almost private and has launching facilities available by prior arrangement. The small, sandy beach is perfect for swimming or kayaking. It is great for children of all ages to explore with interesting rock pools, sand to dig in or build a sandcastle, and a stream supplying water to any young dam-busters dream!
The Pembrokeshire Coast Path runs past Aberfforest; follow this for fantastic scenic walks to Newport beach and Dinas Head. The villages of Dinas and Newport with their shops, pubs and restaurants are under 2 miles away, a pleasant walk in good weather.
Our cottage is a great base to explore the beauty of Pembrokeshire, the wonderful coastline, the bustling picturesque towns and villages, and the fabulous coves, stretches of long sandy beaches and the mystical Preseli Hills. For the active person, there is lots to do from swimming, kayaking, sailing, boat trips (to see seals, dolphins and even puffins at the right time of year), coasteering, wild swimming, surfing, hiking and horse riding - to name but a few.
Ground Floor: Steps from parking area to entrance, hall, kitchen, lounge/diner, conservatory, double room/king size bed, twin room, bathroom/overhead shower/wc.
First Floor: Galleried 2nd lounge, single room, double room/king size bed, shower room/wc, desk area.
Parking: Ample in a private driveway.
Facilities: Electric oven and hob, AGA (which is switched off for the summer months), microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer, 2 TVs, Sky package, DVD player, mini Hi Fi system, WiFi, telephone - incoming calls only, garden furniture.
Pets/Animals: Not allowed due to our son's allergies.
Please note, we always respond promptly to Request to Book during UK "waking" hours.
We have rented our holiday home for 15+ years and we only started renting it via VRBO in late 2022. A few previous guest reviews, written in our guest book at the cottage, are included below for your benefit, in addition to those now on VRBO:
"Brilliant week. Third time visiting. Love it! Something for everyone. Walks, views, kayaking, swimming. Lovely to spend time together somewhere so relaxing and beautiful. Highlight for some: jungle shower in the waterfall. Will definitely come again!"
"We are sad to be leaving. What a view! What a welcoming home! Cannot wait to return. Dolphins swam with us! Seal caught a fish only 20 metres from us – spectacular!"
"After an extended journey here (one of us from the US), we woke up in the morning to be awed by the view! We went kayaking in this bay and saw several jellyfish and a seal (from about 2 metres away!) We were also apparently spied by a dolphin….Watched the fog roll over the water on the last day which was very dramatic!
'"A great property with spectacular views of huge waves"
"Thanks for sharing your lovely cottage. It was very clean and tidy. The view, beach and tranquillity were idyllic. Cottage was very comfortable and well-equipped. We had a lovely time exploring the area."
"The view and proximity to the beach here are gems for a family holiday - we loved kayaking from St David's and have been venturing around the local bays - loads of fun! This holiday cottage has provided us with a warm abode whilst we get to know this beautiful area of Wales. Waterfall is truly magical!!"

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Moira Edwards
We bought our cottage over 17 years ago and our twins have grown up enjoying the beach and loving Pembrokeshire, in all weathers. It is an old converted milk house, which is where the name comes from, being part of the old farm location before the farm moved to its current location, up the hill behind us.
We enjoy sharing our holiday home and have rented it out since then to holidaymakers. We have taken care to ensure that guests and their families/friends have what they need to make their stay enjoyable and very comfortable. Our guests seem to love the location and the cottage as much as we do.
Please note, with we always respond promptly to Request to Book during UK "waking" hours.

Why they chose this property
Aberfforest Bay is a special place. You will often have the beach to yourselves and it changes all of the time with calm clear seas one day and mild rolling waves the next to a rough rolling surf later on. For our children, the beach has suited them as toddlers through adolescence to young adults - never a dull moment!
Being right on the coastal path allows ramblers to walk out the door and just go!. For those who want to explore the coastline, you can walk to Newport for a coffee or lunch, or in summer, there is a shorter walk to Cwm Yr Eglwys for an ice-cream (suitable for younger little legs too!). The short walk up the valley to the waterfall is amazing too.
The views from the house are uninterrupted and always changing. You can enjoy them in any weather. We never tire from watching the sea from the patio on warm days, or the upstairs lounge when it gets a bit cooler. It is cool in summer due to the thick walls and cozy in winter with full central heating and an aga in the kitchen. I sometimes " work from home" here and I can choose from several sea view locations to work - very distracting!!
The local area has some amazing beaches and walks, boat trips, kayaking, horse-riding and golf. Newport has everything you need from shopping, cafes and restaurants/take-aways.
You can drive to anywhere in Pembrokeshire from our cottage, having trips to the busier coastal resorts or theme parks in the south, to stunning long sandy beaches in the west, and a visit to the smallest city in the UK, St Davids.
A favourite outing of ours are the boat trips out to the islands on a rib, the kids have loved it too from a young age, watching seals, having dolphins swim alongside the boat, and this summer we walked amongst Puffins too!

What makes this property unique
The uniqueness of our location was what sold it to us many years ago. Being on the beach, with unobscured sea views from most rooms and the ability to watch the wildlife whatever the weather is what we enjoy. The cottage has everything you could need for a happy holiday - a real "home from home". I love my AGA too!!
It is a great base to explore Pembrokeshire from as well.
Thank you for looking at our cottage. We are confident that you will have an amazing holiday here and look forward to welcoming you to our home.
