Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 4 - Saundersfoot (2mls N), Pembrokeshire

Set within a quiet cul-de-sac in the tranquil village of Kilgetty, this attractive detached bungalow makes an idyllic base for those seeking an escape to the coast and countryside. Whisk your family of four and your beloved pooch for a trip to remember and discover the best of the rugged coastline and some of the most enchanting walking trails. Pull off sandy shoes and your warming layers before heading into the cosy lounge to watch a film and chat about the day.

When it's time to eat, the compact yet well-equipped kitchen is perfect for putting together family favourites and even has a handy washing machine for those damp beach towels. Enjoy alfresco dining out in the enclosed rear patio courtyard on balmy evenings, while chillier evenings are best spent sharing tummy-warming dishes around the table. Relax in one of two comfortable bedrooms at the end of each adrenaline-filled day: a sizeable double and pretty twin room.

There's also a refreshing family bathroom. Wake up to a few quiet moments in the garden with your favourite novel and the fragrant sips of your morning coffee. Feel the sand between your toes and the salty air wafting through your hair when you visit the beaches of Saundersfoot or Tenby, both within 6 miles of the cottage.

These family-friendly resorts are home to outstanding architecture, attractive harbours, and as much fish and chips as you can shake a stick at! Get stuck into the rich history of some of Wales' most fascinating families at Carew, Manorbier and Pembroke, the birthplace of Henry Tudor (all within 11 miles). Alternatively, spend the day at Folly Farm (2 miles), Oakwood Theme Park (6 miles) or Blue Lagoon Water Park (6.5 miles).
