Holiday cottages in Pembrokeshire's stunning scenery

Holiday cottages in Pembrokeshire offer an alternative way to enjoy some summer sun in the UK's own wonderland of nature.

The region's scenery ranges from mountains to coast, with inland lakes and the sea providing different ways to enjoy the water for visitors who don't like to spend their entire holiday on the land.

Meanwhile, the choice of holiday cottages is similarly varied, with self-catering cottages, apartments and holiday flats to choose from.

It goes without saying that summer is a great time to head to Pembrokeshire to make the most of the UK's warmer season and the wealth of activities visitors can choose from.

However, a trip at any time of year is likely to please enthusiasts of pursuits including mountain climbing, cycling or just walking in the region's hills.

Surf's up

Holiday cottages in Pembrokeshire also offer an ideal base from which surfers can head out into the waves to practise their art.

Newgale, Whitesands and Freshwater West are all among the region's main surfing areas, making holiday cottages nearby an ideal choice for followers of the sport.

Experienced surfers are told that Freshwater West is the best of the three by the region's tourism body Activity Pembrokeshire.

However, it is not for novices, due to powerful undercurrents - meaning amateurs should simply keep their feet dry and stay on the sand.

The beach could be an ideal destination for families as, besides its surfing potential, it was also used as a film set on one of the Harry Potter movies.

Enjoy the Dolphin Coast

Staying along the coastline of Pembrokeshire, holiday cottages near the water's edge could provide a memorable experience to wildlife lovers.

Visit Pembrokeshire calls the stretch "the Dolphin Coast" - although they are not the only creatures that can be seen.

The deep waters also double as home to porpoises and even nature's giant, the whale, which can be seen on occasion.

Golf links can also be found along the coast, with regular courses further inland catering for novices and experienced players alike.

Whether seeking an ancient course or a recently constructed set of fairways and greens, the most demanding of golfers could find their needs met by staying in holiday cottages in Pembrokeshire.
