About this property

Large seaside cottage with spacious garden, in a quiet area close to beach.

Nestled in the heart of the village of Manorbier, the property has a large private garden, contained within the grounds of the Old Vicarage. Set back from the road down a private driveway, just a short walk from Manorbier beach and the coastal path.
Built in 1815 and originally housing the carriages and horses as stables to The Old Vicarage, with stone quarried locally and taken to be dressed by the monks of Caldey Island.
Five bedrooms; three upstairs and two downstairs in a separate wing, ideal for two groups coming together or a family wanting plenty of space. The downstairs bedrooms and bathroom are perfect for those who would prefer not to use stairs. We have focused on creating spaces which all the guests can enjoy together, and capturing a relaxed coastal feel.
Manorbier, described by the Guardian as "The Perfect Seaside Village", has everything you need: a well stocked shop, post office, great pub, tea rooms, Norman castle and church, 4 beaches within walking distance, fantastic surf, rock pools, and of course a large stretch of sand for those just wishing to sunbathe. Tenby, with its famed Georgian architecture, beautiful beaches and Wales' oldest golf course, is just 7 minutes drive east. A short drive to the west you will find Bosherston lily ponds, Broadhaven and Barafundle...and much more.
We aim to make your holiday as relaxing as possible. Would you like a catered meal delivered one evening? Or a box of local organic vegetables? We have a barbecue which is ideal for those summer evenings.
We cater for all ages - we have a travel cot and two high chairs, plus a stair gate. We also have elephant feet so sofas can be raised up, a grab rail in the downstairs shower and a shower stool. The cottage is ideal for those with mobility issues as there are two bedrooms and bathrooms downstairs, and access onto the garden from the sitting room and bedroom too.
We live next door so we are on hand if you need anything.
Guests love the garden as it is south west facing (the sunsets are spectacular) and spacious enough for children and dogs to run around - don't forget to bring your croquet set and badminton net which plenty of our regular guests like to bring on holiday with them.
There is parking outside for three cars. The local shop is less than 2 minutes walk away and they are very well stocked, also it is possible to organise a delivery with your usual supermarket. The local pub has live music and quiz nights, plus great food and a sunny beer garden (or cosy up by the log burner inside in the winter). There is also a take away service and the local hotel has fine dining with views over the bay.
Unfortunately guests are prohibited from using a domestic socket for charging their electric vehicles due to insurance, however there is a charging point within walking distance - at the beach car park, or at the Giraldus Hall.

Lovely break at Manorbier
This property was perfect for an extended family rental. The grandparents were very comfortable with the ground floor rooms and shower room. The property is big so we all had plenty of space. It is very quiet and the garden space is sizeable and attractive. For us, being able to walk to the beach and the coastal path was a big draw and did not disappoint. Our thanks to the owners for our lovely week away.

Everything we wanted and more
When we entered Mews Cottage we were impressed with the cleanliness together with the fresh looking decor. Mews Cottage is equipped with everything you need for your stay. The cottage was enjoyed by all of our family, gathering to celebrate my husbands birthday. The village and beach is perfect for teenagers and those of us that think we’re still teenagers, beach cricket being a family favourite. Kate introduced us to “We love curry”, a delicious meal cooked and delivered by Casper & Emma. The local Castle Inn were also able to accommodate us for dinner. The whole family enjoyed their stay. Mews cottage is a halfway meeting point for our family, son, daughter in law and two grandchildren travel over from Ireland, the rest of us from deepest Surrey. Kate is a charming host. We will return.

About the host

Hosted by Kate Blackwell

Host profile image
We have lived in the next door Old Vicarage for 17 years, and are so glad we returned to Pembrokeshire after a decade in London. We ran a holiday let in a self contained annexe of our home, The Old Vicarage, until we knocked through and made the most of the south west facing garden. We had many happy guests and wanted to continue letting our new property as a holiday cottage.
We have now had 11 years letting Mews Cottage, and we are delighted with how popular it has been, and how such a high proportion of our guests rebook, many before they leave! We hope that people return year after year and feel it's a home away from home.
We love living in Manorbier, with its rich history, and wonderful beaches. We have brought our children up here, learning how to surf (we can often be seen walking down the road with our surfboards) The thing we love most is being able to walk out of the door and choose 4 beaches within 20 minutes walk, or walk along the coastal path to Tenby before hopping on the bus to come home. The bus stop is at the end of the driveway.
We also really enjoy the Castle Inn pub, with live music most weekends, quiz night on a Sunday, and excellent fresh food. There are several options for eating out, with the hotel, castle and tea rooms all serving food. But best of all, we love sitting in the south west facing garden, watching the sunset. Mews Cottage is next door, with a sheltered private garden, and lovely views.

Why they chose this property

We have lived next door in The Old Vicarage for 17 years and we were delighted to be able to buy the neighbouring cottage in November 2013. It is wonderful to reunite the two buildings as Mews Cottage used to be the stables for what was the Vicarage, when they were built over 200 years ago. The stone for The Vicarage was quarried in Lydstep, dressed by Caldey monks and then brought to Manorbier. The stables were converted into a cottage in the 1970's. Mews Cottage has a private garden which is surrounded by the Old Vicarage garden and fields owned by the church.

What makes this property unique

Nearly all of our guests include 3 generations. Mews Cottage is the perfect space to be enjoyed by all ages. The sunny south facing garden and the summer house are ideal for parents to sit in and relax while the children can play. The barbecue is proving very popular, and there's a sense of peace whilst still being so close to all the amenities in the village and of course the beach.
Many guests comment on the refectory table and seating in the dining room. From Christmas dinner, to family meals and poker games, the dining room accommodates 12 comfortably. The kitchen is very well equipped and spacious.
Most of all, the guests say that after a day on the beach or a coastal path walk, they feel at home in Mews Cottage and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere, and peace and quiet.
