Penberi View

Sleeps 8 in 4 bedrooms

Nr Solva

Escape to Pembrokeshire for a five-star mini break at Penberi View and we guarantee you, you will not regret that decision. Nestled in the peaceful rural area of Whitchurch, less than a mile from the hustle and bustle of Solva, you can opt to live the hermit lifestyle with no disruptions to focus on your wellbeing or throw yourself into the lively atmosphere of this seaside resort.

Picture a traditional but contemporary holiday home with character features and natural tones throughout, because that’s precisely what you’ll find at Penberi View. The entire house is light and fresh with spacious rooms, but our favourite space has to be the sunroom which opens out onto the rear garden, though the large sitting room with woodburner is a close contender.

Roam the footpaths, wander down to the pretty harbour and call in Bay View Stores for groceries, papers and fresh produce from their seafood shack. Dine at The Cambrian, browse art at the Raul Speek Gallery and pick up mementoes from Window on Wales.

Sink into the sofa in front of the woodburning stove on chilly eves and on warm days, settle in the modern kitchen where corner bi-fold doors open out onto a pretty gravelled courtyard.

Take morning dog walks around this quaint settlement before spending your days sightseeing the sandier beaches of Abercastle, Abermawr and Aberbach nearby. Abereiddy is known for its Blue Lagoon where brave souls go coasteering whilst Whitesands is all about surfing.
