TOWER COTTAGE

Thesouth of the county celebrates a particularly industrial past and when you choose a stay at Tower Cottage on the edge of Saundersfoot, you place yourself right in the heart of the rich history of the region. This inspired conversion is part of the original powerhouse onsite of the Bonville’s Court Colliery that once housed steam engines used to generate electricity.

Nowadays the colliery is a family holiday park where Tower Cottage, alongside several other holiday lets, is located. Also sharing the site here is a communal spa complete with a gym, sauna and steam room for your use. This four-star accommodation shares its entrance with Sovereign Suite (43474) next door. Its bedrooms lie on the ground floor and the first floor is home to a fully open-plan living space with both gable ends glazed.

Doors open upstairs to reveal a Juliette balcony overlooking the enclosed patio below with small lawn and beyond to the rural land laden with mature trees and fields. Wooden A-frame beams overhead hark back to the property’s industrial heritage as does the striking stained glass window depicting a steam train on one end.

A ten-minute walk will lead you into the bustling centre of Saundersfoot where you can spend the day at the beach, enjoy a meal at a restaurant or pick up groceries and fresh bread. Learn more about the area’s industry days at the recently redeveloped Saundersfoot Harbour complete with heritage centres, or join the coastal path to walk through the old coal railway tunnels towards Wisemans Bridge. You might also wish to venture to see the old ironworks ruins at Stepaside or take a boat trip from Tenby to the monasterial island of Caldey to discover how the island has been maintained over the years at the museum.
