About this property
Lamphey 2.4 miles. Situated in Freshwater East, Pembrokeshire is The Beach Shack, a welcoming two-bedroom chalet for four guests. Just a short walk away from the beach and an array of amenities, whilst enjoying an open-plan living space, a family-friendly environment, and a communal lawn for the children, the Beach Shack offers the perfect base for a family seascape, nestled within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Take advantage of the allocated parking space to the front of the chalet, before entering the living space, where you can rustle up tasty meals, dine as a group and relax in front of the Smart TV, with an array of children's games on hand for some light entertainment. Prepare for bed in the spacious shower room before resting your eyes in either the double or bunk rooms, before awakening to an adventure-filled itinerary. Take a stroll along Freshwater East beach, a large expanse of golden sand backed by the sand dunes of Freshwater Nature Reserve - the home of many interesting rock pools at either end for the young or young at heart to explore.The beach has level access and on-site toilets. For the active beach visitors there is a stream which runs at its southern side, ideal for small children to play in, whilst surfing is a popular activity here as well. The Pembrokeshire Coast path and its breathtaking scenery are the main attractions of this area and local walks include Swanlake Bay and the spectacular Barafundle beach - these are accessible on foot from the chalet without the need for a car journey.However there are many maps of area walks in the chalet to assist walkers of all abilities. Before heading to Pembroke with its many craft shops, restaurants and cafes, start off your trip by touring the opulent ruins of Lamphey Bishops Palace. Then when in Pembroke, a visit to the birthplace of King Henry VII and his Tudor dynasty in Pembroke Castle is a must. Traveling south, a visit to Bosherston's Lily Ponds in season is a visual delight and near St Govan's Head is the stunning Chapel bearing his name, hidden deep below in the cliff-face - make sure to the count the steps down and back up again as local legend has it, they never match up. A further walk along the Coastal Path will take you to Huntsman's Leap and the Green Bridge of Wales, which provide breath-taking cliff-top vistas, to experience some of the best vantage points that Wales has to offer. Tenby, a charming seaside town with its medieval cobbled streets, walled old town and its four sandy beaches, is also close by. Plan your next trip to perfect Pembrokeshire, at The Beach Shack.
The quaint village of Lamphey is situated just 2 miles from the medieval town of Pembroke and offers a small shop, a traditional pub and two restaurants serving fine cuisine. Nearby Pembroke, dominated by an impressive 13th Century castle renowned as the birthplace of Henry VII, is beautifully situated on the Cleddau estuary and provides the perfect base from which to explore the spectacular, surrounding landscape, boasting rugged cliffs, sandy beaches and beautiful estuaries. The pretty bay of Manorbier is just 3 miles away, with its golden beach and ancient castle, whilst the popular resort of Tenby, with its challenging coastal golf course, Blue Flag awarded beaches and host of seaside amenities is worthy of the short, 10-mile drive. A delightful base for exploring stunning Pembrokeshire and beyond.

Two decent sized bedrooms. Nice bathroom . Good sized living area downstairs for the two of us. Kitchen well equipped. Loved having a dishwasher. Jacks Restaurant is handy at the entrance to the site. The bed was a little soft. The location is lovely with the beach as close as it could be and fabulous walks over the cliffs. The nearest shop is a good walk away uphill so best to get provisions first. Jacks is very popular as the only place within easy walking distance so best to book a table.

Liz, the owner emailed before and during our stay with helpful information and advice, which was lovely. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed during our stay. It is perfectly located for walks on the Pembrokeshire coastal path and the restaurant on site (Jack's) was great, as we didn't feel like cooking, so ate there most evenings. There was some work going on at the chalet next door, but this did not affect our stay as the work was during the day while we were out. We would love to stay again in the future. Many thanks for a great stay. Les & Ivo
