"This is a well appointed cottage in a beautiful location."
For us, the proximity to the Pembrokeshire coastal path attracted us initially and we were not disappointed. We spent a couple of days exploring the immediate area on foot. We had picked up provisions on our way to Trefasser, and supplemented these in Fishguard a few days later. We were very comfortable in the cottage and it gave us the perfect chance to unwind and refresh - a great short break. Thank you.

Old Spot Cottage is a characterful, family-friendly cottage located in the north Pembrokeshire hamlet of Trefasser near Strumble Head.
Settled in a rural location with easy access to the sparkling coast, the cottage is brimming with unique features for a family of six's next holiday by the sea.
Off-road farmyard parking greets you on arrival to unpack and get settled in with ease, while taking in your peaceful surroundings.
Step inside to find a kitchen/diner ready to host family dinners after the day's adventures; farmhouse meets contemporary in this well-equipped space with an electric range cooker, dishwasher, and a round, wooden table for six.
After you've cleared the plates and put the little ones to bed, why not grab a bottle from the wine cooler, pour yourself a glass, and step into the enclosed rear garden for a moment's peace.
Retreat inside as the evening cools to a beautiful, spacious sitting room with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, stone walls, and a gorgeous, stained-glass, original chapel window.
Curl up on the sofas in this unique space with a good book or your favourite show on the TV, all the while the wood burning stove crackles nearby to complete the picture!
After wandering the coast, return to Old Spot Cottage and head to the utility room; located six steps down from the kitchen, you'll find a washing machine and a wet room to freshen up.
Two bedrooms are located on the ground floor, one family-friendly room containing a double bed, child's bed, and cot, alongside a twin with a TV, while upstairs lies the double room which benefits from lovely views, sloped ceilings, a TV, and the quirky chapel window to admire up close.
All bedrooms are served by the ground-floor bathroom, complete with a large corner bath for the ultimate relaxation and a walk-in shower with a rainfall shower head.
