Woodpecker

Solva 6.6 miles.

Woodpecker is a welcoming single-storey house set on a working farm in Clawddcam near Solva, offering families and friends a relaxed pet-friendly escape with its open plan layout, outdoor seating and off-road parking.

A gravelled frontage with a small seating area shapes the first impression, and potted plants guide you towards the entrance before the patio doors open into the open plan living space where wooden walls frame the kitchen and a bricked breakfast bar with its wooden countertop creates a natural spot to pause while meals simmer on the electric hob, supported by the electric oven, fridge, freezer and washer dryer.

The sitting area is warmed by exposed stone walls that add rustic charm as you stretch out on the sofas to watch the Smart TV with the electric central heating softening the room’s atmosphere.

The single-level layout leads you towards the double bedroom and the bunk room, both offering a simple retreat after the day’s adventures, while the industrial-style shower room with its walk-in shower, basin and WC gives you a refreshing place to start each morning.

Stepping outside again, the patio and artificial lawn provide an easygoing place to enjoy the fresh air, and the barbecue invites long summer evenings without needing garden views to enhance the moment.

Within an hour, days out might include discovering the historic lanes of St Davids before stepping into its remarkable cathedral and browsing local cafés, wandering Solva Harbour just over six miles away to watch boats drift with the tide and explore hidden corners at low water, or heading to Newgale Beach where sweeping sands, shallow waters and rolling surf make it perfect for relaxed family time.

Likewise, Woodpecker Cottage is also close to the Blue Lagoon, Abercastle, Aberrieddy and Porthgain Harbour.

End the day with a meal at the Farmers Arms at Mathry.

Woodpecker stands as an appealing base for laid-back Pembrokeshire days.
