About this property

Spacious 3-bedroom cottage near St Davids – walk to the coast, beaches & pub

A spacious, comfortable three-bedroom detached cottage in the peaceful coastal village of Trefin, near St Davids and in the heart of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. With the coast, beautiful walks and the village pub within easy walking distance, it's a lovely base for exploring this spectacular part of Pembrokeshire.

The cottage sleeps up to six, with two king-size bedrooms and a twin bedroom. There are two bathrooms plus an additional WC, making the house particularly comfortable for families, couples holidaying together or groups of friends.

Downstairs, the spacious kitchen and dining area is well equipped for cooking and eating together, with an induction hob, oven, dishwasher and large American-style fridge-freezer. The comfortable living room has a log burner and TV, while underfloor heating helps keep the cottage warm throughout the year. Free WiFi is provided.

For longer stays and days spent exploring the coast, the cottage also has a separate washing machine and tumble dryer. Bed linen and towels are provided.

Outside is an enclosed, south-facing garden with an extended wooden dining area – ideal for eating outside or relaxing after a day on the coast. Private off-road parking is provided.

Sorry, no pets

Trefin is a small, unspoilt coastal village surrounded by some of Pembrokeshire's most beautiful scenery. From the cottage you can set off on foot towards the coast and Pembrokeshire Coast Path, explore nearby coves and beaches, or enjoy a drink or meal at the village pub without needing to take the car.

St Davids, Britain's smallest city, is a short drive away, with its cathedral, independent shops, cafés and restaurants. The cottage is also well placed for exploring Porthgain, Abereiddy and the wider north Pembrokeshire coast.

This is a much-loved family home rather than an anonymous holiday property. I grew up in Trefin and my family still live in the village, so we know and love this part of Pembrokeshire very well. We want guests to feel comfortable here and to enjoy the area as much as we do.

The best cottage we have ever stayed in! 😎

A very spacious comfortable house, in a peaceful location, fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. Very comfortable beds and immaculately clean. Perfectly located for exploring the Pembrokeshire coast and the Ship Inn 5 doors down serves good food.

We spent 3 weeks in this very comfortable & clean cottage in the Pembrokeshire Coast of Wales. We had been to this area 12 years earlier & were not disappointed on return. This is a truly beautiful part of the world & well worth visiting - rugged cliffs & gorgeous scenery either along the coastal paths or country roads.The cottage was spacious with excellent equipment & furnishings. Beds, pillows, and linens were lovely & plentifully supplied. The kitchen was fully equipped with lots of dishes, cookware, and appliances. We liked having both a washing machine & tumble dryer in the separate laundry room. The hosts were responsive, and their parents next door were always friendly & helpful about any of our questions or concerns. Trefin is a small residential village, but there's a Spar grocery as part of the Gulf station about a 5 minute drive away. Other shopping is around a 15-20 drive at Fishguard, Haverfordwest, or St. David's. Fishguard also has a lovely marine walk, and St. David's is know for its ancient cathedral. We can highly recommend this property in this unique part of the world.

Beautiful cottage and setting

We came for a family holiday with four adults and two children. The cottage was absolutely lovely, the rooms were comfortable and spacious and the garden was great. We couldn’t ask for a better location with cliffs and secluded beach just a short walk away with stunning views. The hosts were very friendly with lots of helpful suggestions for places to visit. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

Fabulous location!!!

Luxury is always relative, but the house was perfect for our troop....grandparents, daughter/husband and 14, 11 yo granddaughters. Communication was easy, house was spotless, and had everything you need. But the location is simply outstanding! Direct access to north or southbound Pembrokeshire Coastal Path. Children loved walking down to water's edge to skip rocks. You are 30min, N or S, to all kinds of POI. And a couple doors down from The Ship Inn...for our evening meals. Our week stay was highlight of our 5 week travel of Wales. Can't imagine a better VRBO for our needs.

Beautiful house, lovely location

House was bigger and smarter than we had expected from the pictures. Had a great week here. Fantastic coastal walks right from the house. We enjoyed going to the little cove 10 mins walk away, and also driving 6 mins to Porthgain and then lovely 20 min walk along the coast path to a big sandy beach which was excellent for ball games and sea swimming. Useful Spar supermarket 5 mins drive away. Friendly Ship Inn virtually next door and we greatly enjoyed the Open Mic night with a range of performers. The house was extremely well equipped and perfect for 6 adults. Also suitable for children with stairgates etc. Lots of places to visit close by.

Beautiful cottage

The house is very beautiful. Enjoyed several challenging walks close by. Needed to bring supplies such as salt, pepper and basic spices. Also needed shampoo. Called on first day about five light bulbs out in kitchen and other rooms that were not replaced during our stay. Also needed a small non stick pan to cook eggs. Be aware that range top needed to be turned off and on to start working.

Best Property Ever!

The house and garden are terrific, everything you could possibly need! Lots of storage space in the kitchen; great appliances, cookware, dishes, etc.. Our group included a 2 and 4 year old, their parents, and grandparents, and we were all very comfortable. Absolutely no complaints about the house which I find incredible. Trefin is a darling village, easy walk to the beach, and great walks in general, especially along the cliffs. We all enjoyed St. David's and the Bug Ranch, great even without children in tow. Pembroke Castle, about an hour away, was fabulous. Lots of brochures of the area; very helpful book on the house and area. The Ship Inn, almost next door, had great food and even live entertainment one of the times we visited. Highly endorse this home and area! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home!

We had a lovely stay at this property. It is very spacious and laid out nicely. The large garden is a bonus, the kids loved it. Great for a barbecue overlooking the endless rolling hills. The kitchen is very spacious, great for families, and it is very well equipped with everything you could ever need. Make sure you bring some essentials (milk, butter, eggs, bread etc) as there is no welcome pack like a lot of holiday cottages. The bedrooms are spacious, the beds are incredibly comfortable. There is space for one car on the drive as it is shared with the other houses, and plenty of space on road for parking. The owners were very helpful and kind, and replied to our enquiries promptly and fixed/remedied the few niggles we did have. The location is lovely, just a short stroll to the coastal path and a beautiful cove. We all loved beachcombing at the cove and found lots of sea glass and interesting shells/rocks, and watching the sun set. The cottage is also only a short drive to an array of beautiful sandy beaches. There is a great little pub just a few doors down. We throughly enjoyed our stay here, we would have happily stayed longer! What a beautiful part of the world!

Perfect house in a perfect location

An absolutely amazing stay, spent 2 weeks here and the house was immaculately presented, catered for everything you could possibly need! every utensil you could want, different pillows and bedding if you don't like the feathers and a feel to it that just screamed family home. We all settled in quickly and comfortably as if it was our own house with 3 different generations to accommodate & cater for. Owners were very helpful and informative on the local area on where's good to go to and then left us be to enjoy our holiday, but when called upon they instantly responded. Excellent hosts and can not thank them enough for letting us stay in their home! Local area is amazing, coastal walks are breath taking and the local pub literally a minutes walk down the road were very welcoming and accommodated us whenever we asked for a table for 6 without booking with the food being extremely good as well. Trips out everyday as well with an abundance for things to do for all ages in and around the local area, Whitesands Beach and the Cathedral at St Davids a personal highlight for myself. Crisp clean air, friendly and welcoming locals, great food and scenery that dumb strucks you over and over again, absolute perfection in paradise!! We all fell in love with the property, the people and the area so much so we are currently looking at properties to move to the area! if you get the chance to book this beautiful place you are very lucky indeed and hope you enjoy as much as we all did.

spacious, very clean and a nice location

If you are into cliffs, beaches, nature, paddle boarding, neolithic burial sites and artisan ice cream, then North Pembrokeshire is the place for you. We stayed here at the end of August and missed the puffins (by a month), but caught the seal pups (yay!). The house is very clean, spacious and very well equipped with lots and lots of things to do and see nearby (if you have any of the aforementioned interests). The pictures are a fair and accurate representation of the property and I wholeheartedly recommend it as a holiday rental.

Fab house, great location!

This is our second time that we have stayed at this property and once again we could not fault it. It is a lovely 'home from home', very spacious with an enclosed garden that was great for the grandkids. It also has everything that you could possibly want for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The location is fab; great views and only a short walk down to the Welsh Coastal Path and a very pretty little cove. The village has a friendly pub and a great cafe that serves very tasty, home-cooked food. I would recommend this to anyone and would love to come back again in the future.

Fab house, great location!

This is a lovely, spacious and comfortable house which has everything that you would want in a 'home away from home'. We spent a few days here when the weather wasn't the best but the house was a warm & welcoming place to come back to. The house has lots of child-friendly features as well as a safe & enclosed garden, ideal for the warmer months. It's in a great location with easy access to the Coastal Path and a short walk from the house is a small cove where we enjoyed watching seals. Within the village there is a friendly pub and a great cafe (open every day except Monday). There are also plenty of things to do and see within a short drive including the city of St. David's. I would definitely recommend staying here!

A home from home

Excellent facilities and baby friendly! Large house so plenty of space and beautiful views of the fields. We loved that it is a few minutes walk to a beach where we could see seals in the sea. Access to other places of interest via car journey is easy. We are sad to be leaving and will tell all our friends and family about this place.

About the host

Hosted by Heidi and Bruce

Host profile image
We live in England with our 2 children, our two cats and two dogs. We both work, but spend most of our holidays at our home in Trefin, enjoying the spectacular beaches and coastal walks that are right on our doorstep. In fact Heidi was brought up in Trefin, where her parents still live and we have many friends in the village. So it really feels like home when we are there.














Why they chose this property

We chose the property with a view to moving into the village some time in the future, so we have put our heart and soul into the place.

Heidi felt privileged growing up in Trefin, surrounded by endless coastline within walking distance, as well as numerous coves and bays, she could walk or cycle to everyday. Our kids can't get enough of the place.

Even in the height of summer, it is easy to find secluded beaches and walks all to yourself.

There is a staggering amount and variety of activities to enjoy in Pembrokeshire, whether you have children, are into arts and crafts, history and archaeology, boating, fishing, extreme sports, theme parks, wildlife and marine life, or simply want to get away from it all to relax in peace and quiet.

What makes this property unique

Our house is recently decorated and everything, including floors, windows, kitchen and bathrooms, is brand new. It is a very spacious property with oak flooring or tiles, high ceilings and underfloor heating downstairs. Other features such as the log burner, flat screen TV, american sized fridge freezer, large induction hob stove, separate utility, chandeliers, hotel standard bathrooms and generously sized beds, plus balcony off dining room french doors, contribute to the luxury feel.

The house was also decorated with children's safety in mind. Apart from stair gates, and optional fire guard and plug covers, the spacious garden is fully enclosed and the balcony decking leading onto the lawn is as non slip as possible.
