TYRHIBIN GANOL

Buried in the rolling hills above Newport Sands is Tyrhibin Ganol, a pretty stone cottage in a peaceful coastal location. Ideally positioned for activity breaks, the opportunities to play in the park here are never-ending.

The long sandy beach at Newport Sands is less than a mile away from this four-star holiday cottage and is a great choice for surfing, kayaking and swimming. The expanse of sand also often attracts power kiters and windsurfers too. If boating is your thing, you can launch here or venture to the furthest end where it joins Parrog Beach and the quaint harbour.

The driving route to the Sands Beach quite literally passes through Newport Links Golf Course, so keen putters should put aside a day to spend on the green; the sea views are truly spectacular. The Pembrokeshire Coast

Path follows the entire coastline along here so a hike is recommended. Travel west towards Dinas and Fishguard or head east towards St Dogmaels though be warned, this latter stretch is particularly hilly. You might wish to pick up hire bikes from Carningli Centre in the town to cycle the pretty country lanes.

Tyrhibin Ganol is a comfortable base for all explorers with a galleried sitting room where you can enjoy lovely sea views. Bright and warm tones create an inviting setting throughout and the contemporary bedrooms promise a restful night’s sleep. You also benefit from an enclosed lawned garden to the rear, perfect for taking in the fresh coastal air without moving from the house.

A pathway leads downhill from the cottage to the sea; swimming is not recommended but you will likely find kayakers launching on their way to paddle around the headland to sightsee the remarkable green waters of The Witches Cauldron. Follow the trail onto the top of the headland to see how many choughs, porpoises and dolphins you can spot.

As well as walking and watersports, you can plan days at the nearby beaches of Newport and Poppit Sands or book a seasonal boat trip from Cardigan.

Long House will serve you well as a cosy base during your travels with an interior full of character; think exposed stonework, an A-frame vaulted ceiling and a woodburner set inside an impressive Inglenook fireplace. Our favourite spot in the house is that rocking chair in front of the fire - talk about charming. The sunny patio and lawns benefit from glorious sunsets, what better way to end your day?
