About this property

Architect Designed Eco House In A Secluded Littlehaven Private Lane

Summerhaven is a stunning contemporary holiday home built to the highest standards and minutes from the charming village of Littlehaven, Pembrokeshire. Completed in 2013 this architect designed eco-house is reached by 49 steps up through its private, wooded hill-side garden. The house is designed to make the most of the superb view over a quiet wooded valley with a glass wall opening onto the railed balcony. Unwind and relax in the light, open plan living space and explore beautiful Pembrokeshire from this perfectly positioned village location. Little Haven offers a range of quality pubs, restaurants and cafes and neighbouring Broad Haven has a small general store, beach shops and a surf hire centre. Both Havens communities welcome visitors with seasonal events, art exhibitions and festivals to enjoy. Whether you want to enjoy the summer sandcastle competition or join the bracing New Years Day swim there is always something interesting to do and see. Pembrokeshire is a beautiful, unspoilt county with many attractions. Walkers can access the stunning coastal path from the village. All the water sports are available locally including some of the very best surfing beaches. Visitors will find a huge choice of outdoor activities including horse riding, golf, climbing, coasteering and diving.
Pembrokeshire are very strict about waste disposal and recycling. We have provided lots of guidance and labelled containers and we ask guests to help us meet the statutory requirements.

Lovely stay!

We loved our long weekend staying at Summer Haven - the house was perfect, with so much room in the communal areas. Little Haven is a wonderful place that we are fortunate to have visited many times. Clive (the host) was very responsive and helpful, I would recommend this lovely property to everyone!

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful house in a gorgeous little valley. It's well equipped and very comfortable. The owner was very helpful and responsive.The house is just a few minutes' walk from Little Haven, which offers a lovely little beach, 3 decent pubs, and a couple of cafes. It's also just 15 minutes walk (via the beach at low tide) from Broad Haven which has a decent small supermarket.

Little Haven gem

Great place to stay if you want peace and quiet but also easily walkable to beach, pubs etc. it’s set back from the road so very peaceful and there are great walks from the door up through the woods if you have a dog. Not suitable for old people or families with babies in prams as it would be hard work getting everything / everyone up the steps!

As described. Great house and really spacious. Very clean. Really close to Little Havens cafes and pubs so a brilliant all round space. I didn't read the description fully so the stairs were a bit of a shock for the older parents we had with us (my fault) but actually we got used to them pretty quick. Amazing views out of the windows especially in the main living area.

Holiday with friends

This was a really lovely house to stay for a week in Little Haven. It was very quiet, just a five minute walk into Little Haven which is a very sweet village. The house was easy to use, well equipped(butt need to bring bath and hand towels) and the heating was perfectly set so we didn’t not have to change the settings at all(mid to late October). The stairs were not a problem for any of us who were all in late 70s.

Second stay

This is our second stay at this property in Little Haven and we loved it just as much. The surroundings are so beautiful and there is almost everything you need within walking distance. Our holiday was made complete when we saw dolphins on the way to Skomer Island. Just remember to bring your towels - we missed this note on the info.

Wonderfull house!

Our stay in Summerhaven was lovely. The house is super, clean, very light and lots of space. The area is just wonderfull. Those stairs are a good excercise every day, but I can imagine not very easy for some people. Our respect for Clive and Sheila for letting us stay in their beautiful house!

Beautiful house in perfect location.

Great week’s holiday in this beautiful house. Very peaceful and private, loved listening to the birds in all the surrounding vegetation. Everything in the house was to a very high standard- furnishings, beds white goods. Great TV for men to watch the football! A perfect getaway from city life. We will be back! Thank you.

Great find

This lovely eco house is in a perfect location to visit Pembrokeshire. The house is in very good order, is well equipped and its 'tree top' location makes it that extra bit special. We were just four adults but it would be perfect for six people as it has three good sizes bedrooms. The location is perfect, if you can manage the 47 steps to the house, it is a very short walk to the village which has a number restaurants, pubs and a café. We would recommend.

New Year Break

Exceptional property with quality fittings and fixtures making it feel like a real home from home. Despite the beautiful village being a stone's throw away, we actually found it difficult to get out at times due the comfort of the house and with the huge windows and views, we felt like we were getting a taste of the outside without actually having to venture out!!!This was our second stay here and it will always be our first choice of property down West for future visits.

Light, quiet, well-equipped and restful. Great social space & lovely woodland setting.

Even in mid-December with rainy & windy weather, this place was delightful. We enjoyed walks straight from the door, short drives to many beautiful places nearby. It’s an easy walk into Little Haven and not much further over the hill to Broad Haven. The house has everything we could’ve wanted. We enjoyed the exercise of going up and down the steps to the front door. Remember to bring your own towels.

Summerhaven

We (2 adults, 4 young adults) had a very comfortable enjoyable stay in Summerhaven. We loved the secluded property which is exactly as shown in photos and super clean. It’s a five minute walk to Little Haven and perfectly located for the coast/coastal walks. For anyone wanting a bit of fun and adventure would highly recommend coasteering with TYF who are based in St David’s. One suggestion that would have enhanced our stay would be that information, which I assume would have ordinarily been left about the house/local area, be emailed to guests before their visit. Would love to come back sometime.

Convenient and quiet

A short stroll from Little Haven, and not much of a walk (along the beach) to Broad Haven - we were able to pop down to the beach pretty impulsively, depending on the start of surf and tide. The property description is very clear about the steps up to the house, so unless you're confident in being able to handle these, then this isn't the place for you. The large open plan main room is very comfortable, with lots of room and a pleasant aspect out onto the trees that surround the property. Bedrooms are reasonably-sized and all beds were very comfortable. We had a great week, and would definitely use Summerhaven again.

Tolles Hause tolle Lage

Ein wirklich schönes Haus. Ja die Treppen sind manchmal nervig aber die Lage macht es wieder wett. Nur ein kurzer Weg zu Strand und Restaurants. Ein wirklich sehr schöner Ort mit toller Atmosphäre.

About the host

Hosted by Clive Anstey

Host profile image
Our family have been holidaying in Pembrokeshire for over 10 years and never tire of the beauty, variety and peace to be found here. It is truly an undiscovered gem where you can escape to the golden sandy beaches along quiet roads and yet all is within easy reach of the M4.

As our children have grown they have graduated from exploring rock pools to enjoying the adrenalin rush of coasteering, surfing, riding and climbing. There really is something for everyone here.

Why they chose this property

Summerhaven was designed and built on the site of a cedarwood chalet by local architects and building contractors and we completed our 'dream project' late in 2013. Summerhaven is now our 'home from home' and we are delighted to invite other families to come and discover the unspoilt and beautiful county of Pembrokeshire.

What makes this property unique

Little Haven is beautifully placed to explore Pembrokeshire. Nestled in the corner of St Brides's bay you have easy access to the whole county, including the matchless coastal path, whilst staying in the welcoming and well appointed village. Summerhaven offers a unique contemporary living space to relax in at the end of a busy day exploring.
