Curlew House

Curlew House is no ordinary coastal cottage; this sweeping contemporary stone house hugs the shoreline, the tide lapping at its feet with views of the Cleddau Estuary filling every window. Four comfy, spacious double rooms all have their own en suite and views over the water.

This modern build is full of personality, with paintings, colourful throws, stacks of books and lots of games. The sociable kitchen has all the kit you’ll need and plenty of basics; gather round the island with a glass of wine and cook together. Spill out onto the sun-trap terrace on balmy evenings and barbecue as the sun goes down over sparkling water.

Launch a kayak from the shore below the house and pootle up the estuary, or head to great beaches at Barafundle, Stackpole and Manorbier. After a day of exploring, a soak in the hot tub watching boats sail by is just the ticket. In winter, there are coastal walks and great pubs nearby, and a log fire to come back to.
