About this property
Rushfield is a charming, mid-terrace, period townhouse situated near Poppit Sands beach and the estuary in the picturesque village of St Dogmaels, Pembrokeshire. With roadside parking just a short walk away and plenty of amenities, this three-storey retreat welcomes families, friends, and two well-behaved dogs, making it an ideal escape. Enter the ground floor, where you'll be greeted by a cosy sitting room, complete with a TV and a warming woodburning stove, offering a welcoming space to unwind after a day of exploration, with the added bonus of a balcony providing a tranquil spot to enjoy the fresh air and take in the views of Afon Teifi. Downstairs, a well-appointed kitchen/diner, perfect for preparing home-cooked meals to be enjoyed at the dining table. The property boasts three tastefully decorated bedrooms spread over two floors. On the ground floor, you'll find a relaxing double bedroom, while the first floor houses another double bedroom (king bed), which benefits from stunning views of the Afon Teifi, and a twin bedroom, providing flexible sleeping arrangements for all. The property is served by two sleek shower rooms, each fitted with a walk-in shower, basin, and WC, offering ample space for everyone to prepare for their day. Outside, the rear garden is a real delight, boasting a well-kept tiered lawn and a patio area complete with furniture. This is the perfect spot for enjoying a morning coffee or dining alfresco during the warmer months. Immerse yourself in the rich cultural history of Pembrokeshire by paying a visit to the prominent Cardigan Castle with its stunning views across the estuary, and St Dogmaels Abbey, a striking historical monument. For the more adventurous, choose from an array of activities such as dolphin spotting tours with 'A Bay To Remember' or embrace water-based adventures with Cardigan Bay Active, offering a range of kayaking, coasteering and paddleboarding experiences. The remarkable Tresaith Waterfall, falling directly onto a beautiful sandy beach, provides an awe-inspiring sight, while the unspoilt shores of Penbryn Beach invite lazy days filled with sandcastle building and picnicking. Be sure to also explore National Trust - Penbryn, where you can uncover a network of rich woodland walks and hidden coves. Return each evening to the serenity of Rushfield, your idyllic base from which to explore the exceptional Pembrokeshire coast.
St Dogmaels is an ancient and tranquil village nestling peacefully around its ruined abbey at the mouth of the River Teifi on the totally unspoiled west Wales coast. One of its attractions is Y Felin, one of only two working watermills in Wales and retains the machinery installed in 1820. It is thought the mill was originally built by the monks of St Dogmaels' 12th century Abbey. The miller shows how the mill works and bread, flour and cakes can be purchased from the mill or you can enjoy tea and cakes and light lunches in the Coach House Café nearby. An award winning local produce market is held here every Tuesday and is well worth a visit. The village has a pub, a fish & chip shop, a Post Office, a cafe and a small museum at the abbey. There is also a pretty green and a millpond with ducks. Cardigan, a delightful ancient market town, is just over a mile away. This ancient town sits on the estuary of the River Teifi at the base of Cardigan Bay. Its unspoilt townscape and rich heritage provide a nostalgic backdrop to a thriving culture of arts and crafts, events and music festivals. Nearby is the wonderful Poppit Sands where you can relax on sunny days or enjoy invigorating walks in the cooler months, as well as exploring the beautiful Pembrokeshire Coast Path. St Dogmaels is the start or finish of the 186 mile Pembrokeshire Coast Path from St Dogmaels to Amroth. Visit Castell Henllys, the Iron Age Fort where everyone is encouraged to learn the ancient way of living, or visit the wonderful Shire Horse Farm to see how farming was before tractors. The Cardigan Bay dolphins can be seen off the bay on a regular basis and more active pursuits can be found at Cardigan Bay Active, including surfing, wildlife trips or coasteering. With scenic coastal, riverside and countryside walks and an array of other beaches and attractions all close by, this is a perfect holiday location all year round.
