About this property
Rock House is a wonderful three-bedroom stone-built cottage resting in Broad Haven in Pembrokeshire. Enjoying a stunning location along Pembrokeshire’s scenic coastline and just moments away from the beautiful Broad Haven Beach, Rock House is a fantastic pet-friendly base for a group or family of six, plus their canine companions, who are looking for their next adventure to Wales. Step into the welcoming living/dining room, where you can look forward to tucking into long, lazy dinners over a bottle of wine at the dining table for six, followed by a relaxing evening spent in front of a much-loved film on the TV. The budding chef of the group will have all they need to whip up mouth-watering meals in the well-equipped kitchen, including a dishwasher so time isn’t wasted doing chores! Before the evening grows dark, head down to the beach where your four-legged friends can stretch their legs and play a game of fetch and watch the sunset. Climb the stairs to the first floor, where you will find steps up to the shower room, and the other a well-presented double and a twin bedroom. Continue onto the second floor, where you will discover the final bedroom, a spacious double with exposed stonework, Velux windows and TV, ideal for those leisurely Sunday mornings. Explore the local village, where just a short walk away, you will find the welcoming Galleon Inn, where you can indulge in a tasty pub lunch, as well as the charming Bay café where you can grab a light bite. For when you do feel like cooking, there is a well-stocked convenience store a stone’s throw away where you can gather up ingredients. Spend a day on the glorious Blue Flag sands of Broad Haven Beach, where you can bathe, paddle the shores, or try your hand at surfing, with a surf shop nearby for stocking up on essentials. After an action-packed day, treat your loved ones to dinner (with a view) at The Galleon or take a stroll along the Beach at low tide around to Little Haven to try there range of Pub Grub. Walkers will delight at the close proximity of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, spanning for 186-miles where you can expect to spot the local wildlife, idyllic beaches and incomparable views from the coves and clifftops. Be sure to make a stop at Milford Haven, home to a local history museum, picturesque waterfront, and a fantastic selection of pubs and restaurants. Further afield is Pembroke, where you can discover the historic delights of Pembroke Castle, Monkton Old Hall and the Giant’s Tap. For a home-away-from-home in Pembrokeshire, choose Rock House.
With a sandy Blue Flag beach that is ideal for swimming, boating, and surfing in the summer months and for picturesque walks on windy days, this Pembrokeshire coastal community is a great place to relax and unwind. This quaint beach hamlet features a number of local businesses, including a shop and post office right on the sand, as well as a number of bars and taverns and a café serving delectable meals.

Parking was easy .The owners have thought of absolutely everything to make the house a perfect holiday home and it was spotless on arrival.The beds are comfortable and the kitchen so well equipt. The welcome guide explains how everything works really clearly.The garden is lovely too ,great to watch the world go by from the benches in the front and a real late afternoon suntrap at the back in the most comfortable garden chairs! The house is literally 2 minutes stroll from the beautiful beach and on a rainy afternoon quick to get back to! We have stayed in a lot of self catering houses over the years but this is my favourite by far-we hope to be back next year!

With high end, modern furnishings. It is in walking distance to the shops, restaurants and white, sandy beach. Although there is resident, permit only parking outside the cottage, there is a charity run car park across the road. The owners have left a very effective users manual for all the electrical appliances in the cottage, including the heating and water. We did find this very helpful. However, we would say if you have any mobility issues this may not be the best choice of cottages for you as there are three small flights of stairs and the bathroom step is rather steep. We also found very steep steps out the back to a high garden, which was lovely and the scenery was beautiful, but not easily accessible especially if you have a dog. Broad haven is a beautiful, coastal retreat with stunning surrounding countryside. Definitely a place we would like to visit again. We do think that if this cottage made one or two alterations it would be one of the best to stay in.
