Dream of the Sea in Saundersfoot, Pembrokeshire

Dream of the Sea Self-Catering

Toast the day in style from the private hot tub of this stylish fisherman's cottage, set just a ten-minute stroll from Tenby's award-winning beaches and even closer to its bustling ancient town centre.

Set out over three floors and immaculately presented throughout with a vibrant colour palette, it's an inviting place to hunker down after days at the beach. On long summer nights, keep the night flowing outside on the cosy terrace with a built-in barbecue. Or take things indoors and spill out onto that modular sofa – it's got family film nights written all over it. And you'll love how spaced apart the pristine bedrooms feel, so you can all have a little extra privacy when it's time to bank some Zzzs.

By day, spend lazy mornings sandcastle making and kite flying down at Tenby's north or south beaches – and there's lashings of ice creams and lip-smacking fish and chips when it's time to refuel. After something a little more upper-crust? Then amble along to one of the buzzy local restaurants within the ancient walls – it's all within walking distance. Or, for a change of scene, the seaside village of Saundersfoot and the market town of Narberth (both just a 20-minute drive away) are an afternoon well spent.
