In the lovely seaside town of Tenby, you'll find The Boathouse, a modern masterpiece boasting a fantastic layout and some excellent features. Wonderfully suited for a family holiday, this property has two bedrooms and benefits from a shared lawned garden for the kids to run around, and is also close to the centre of town and the coast. Going in through the front door will bring you to the stylish kitchen decked in bright units and home to all the appliances you'll need, including a dishwasher. This space also has a breakfast table for four, and even has a utility cupboard housing a washing machine and tumble dryer, hidden behind a sliding cupboard door, showcasing the clever and well-thought design of the property. A ground-floor shower room sits across from the kitchen, featuring a large modern shower, while upstairs on the first floor you will find the family bathroom, where you can spend time soaking in the spacious tub drenched in the natural light from the Velux window. The first floor has a Cedar wood-panelled wall and flooring, exposed beams and ceiling windows, showcasing the reason for its namesake, giving this bright open space a warming and homely touch. Two smart dark blue sofas sit in front of the TV, perfect for getting together and putting a favourite film on to watch. After making a delicious meal downstairs in the kitchen, bring it up and serve it on the beautiful dining table before you retire to the bedrooms. The Boathouse has two bedrooms; a twin and a super-king-size, both with zip/link abilities so you can ensure you have the sleeping arrangement you prefer, with a jack-and-jill lockable door between the rooms which can be useful for those with young children. In the summer months you can really make use of the garden outside, with some outdoor seating on the patio and a lawned area you can sit out and soak up the rays. If you've come with little ones, then take them down to the safe Harbour Beach for a play in the sand and maybe a first dip in the sea, or head over to Castle Beach which has an easy access slipway to get down to it. Walkers are in luck, as Tenby has great coastal walks, one of the most popular being the Pembrokeshire Coast Path providing stunning views of Saundersfoot Bay from the headland at Monkstone. A visit to Caldey Island by ferry is perfect way to spend the day, with more than a thousand years of prayer and peaceful living on this holy island making it a haven of tranquillity. Set sail for The Boathouse this year, and enjoy this wonderfully designed house in the bustling town of Tenby.

Very well equipped and comfortable property. Welcomed by the owner who gave us good local advice. Really generous welcome pack. One of the best holiday properties I've stayed in.

Quite a drive to the famous stunning beaches ( Freshwaters, Barfundle (??)) but worth it. Lovely pub at Angle Bay â Point Houseâ
Debbie
It is such a beautiful place to stay and has everything you could possibly need. I would 100% recommend this property and will definitely stay again if we come back to Tenby. Our children were sad to leave our 'wales house', as were we - what a wonderful holiday we had! 5*
