About this property
This cottage is located within the heart of Tenby's historic town walls with restaurants, shops and bars all within easy reach from the front door. The town has a fantastic selection of independent eateries with everything from traditional pub fayre to sushi, not to mention some of the best fish and chips in Pembrokeshire. The South Beach can be reached in just 250m - via steps or take a stroll along the promenade to access the beach by walkway. You truly are spoilt for choice here when it comes to beaches with four to choose from plus, during the main season, you can book a boat trip form the harbour (450m) to spend the day at Caldey Island.
The cottage is accessed via a short shared walkway, bringing you to the front door. You enter into the hallway with the lounge leading off to the right. The lounge has ample seating in two areas perfect for those who may want to get lost in a book while the rest of the family watch television. There are two sofas and a coffee table at ground level then a further sofa and wall mounted television in a raised part of the lounge with three steps to access it. The traditional cottage kitchen is back across the hallway with dining table and quarry tile flooring. Head on upstairs and you will find your two bedrooms - a double room with rattan chair and open wardrobe plus a twin room.
