Welcome to KeensCottage, our self-catering holiday home at Timber Hill, which
is situated near Broad Haven in Pembrokeshire and stands within the boundaries
of the beautiful Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Number 9 Timber Hill is one
of a small development of self catering accommodation detached cedar-wood cottages
on the southern slopes of a peaceful valley, offering spectacular views over the
surrounding countryside. Situated within 130 acres of the Pembrokeshire Coast
National Park, the grounds have achieved the David Bellamy Environmental Gold
award. Surrounded by wildlife, the cottage is only 20 minutes walk, through woodland
rich in bird life and wild flowers, from Broad Haven’s long and sandy beach and
is in an ideal position for exploring Pembrokeshire. This self catering accommodation
cottage is built of solid, 2-inch thick, Canadian red cedar, which provides approximately
the same level of insulation as cavity walls. Number 9 is larger in area than
most of the other self catering accommodation cottages giving it a particularly
roomy living/dining area. There is furniture and equipment for six people including
colour TV and microwave. The self catering accommodation comprises one bedroom
with a double bed, two bedrooms which are fitted with full size bunk beds (one
also containing a folding cot), a bathroom and a kitchen. The lounge/dining room
has a large 16ft window, which provides a magnificent view of the Pembrokeshire
countryside. Outside there is a veranda, which runs the full length of the cottage,
ideal for enjoying a glass of wine as you relax and watch the sun set over the
fields. The field in front of the property, which can be seen from the cottage,
provides a safe place for children to play with beautiful views over the local
Pembrokeshire countryside. The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is the only coastal
National Park in Britain. The Park is a land of enchantment at the western edge
of Wales, internationally recognised as an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
For the walker, the Pembrokeshire coastal path is close at hand and for the birdwatcher,
the nearby islands of Skomer and Skokholm are sanctuaries for breeding sea birds
such as guillemots, razorbills, puffins and kittiwakes as well as colonies of
seals. The nearest beach is at Broad Haven, a 20-minute stroll through woodland,
rich in bird life and wild flowers. For the less energetic, Broad Haven can be
reached in less than 5 minutes by car. Here you can visit the Pembrokeshire Coast
National Park Information centre with general information on the area, as well
as a selection of maps and books; in addition it offers a programme of field excursions
and lectures. Other beaches within this area of Pembrokeshire are Nolton, Druidstone,
Little haven, Newgale and Marloes Sands. The old county town of Pembrokeshire,
Haverfordwest, is ten minutes drive away with a selection of small shops, high
street stores and a market hall. A little further a field is St. Davids with its
world famous 6th century Cathedral and Bishop's Palace and, slightly more recent
marine aquarium, the largest in Pembrokeshire. Apart from 'seaside' attractions,
there are fifteen castles in Pembrokeshire, about half of these being open to
the public. Rural crafts are in abundance with woollen mills, pottery, woodcraft,
slate, stone and iron works and cheese makers. There are also several farm parks
in the area, most with indoor and outdoor facilities. A wide variety of locally
produced food, including organic, is readily available; the Pembrokeshire cheeses
are especially good. Haverfordwest hosts not only one of the best farmer’s markets
in Pembrokeshire but in the country.
