THE RATH COTTAGE

TheRath Cottage is one of the best coastal boltholes for couples in search of a romantic getaway or an activity weekend away. Tucked away down a shared driveway alongside the main house, The Rath (43434), this compact cottage is just a short walk from the beautiful seafront of Saundersfoot.

The Rath Cottage is a contemporary holiday home, decorated in fresh and clean colours such as white, neutrals and soft blues hinting at its seaside location. Renovated to a four-star standard throughout, you’ll find an inviting open-plan living space with French doors to your own suntrap of a terrace. The double bedroom enjoys views over this outdoor space too.

Amble downhill to reach the lively town of Saundersfoot within minutes. Park your towel on the golden sands to catch some rays, don your wetsuit for surfing and paddleboarding or check out the new heritage centres on the harbour. Follow the Coast Path along the tramway for a romantic dinner at Coast, Coppet Hall - perhaps a proposal is on the cards?

Visiting out of season means you can stay for some of the town’s most popular celebrations. Begin the year here for the New Year’s Day swim, book a week in late June and early September to see the sporting spectacles of Long Course Weekend and Ironman Wales (respectively). Call this home in October to attend the Big Bang Weekend to honour Halloween and Guy Fawkes Night all in one.
