Sand & Memories

Traditional bucket and spade holidays have been enjoyed in this well-loved seaside resort by generations, so it's a great choice for a family break by the sea. Just a short stroll from Broad Haven's famous sandy beach (a Blue Flag award-winner), this home is all about spending quality time together in a warm and homely space. With sea views and a fabulous deck area with a private hot tub, it's a place to relax and have fun.

Recently refurbished, the interior is smart and spacious, with a log-effect fire in the living area, a comfy sofa facing the sea-view window and a big dining table. Open-plan to keep everything sociable, the kitchen is newly fitted and provides everything you'll need for cooking at home. And this home comes with a few extras – there's a small study with a desk if you need to keep in touch with work while you're away, and a separate snug offers the children a space of their own, with a smart TV for streaming their favourite shows and a collection of books and toys.

The outdoor space is a huge attraction here. As well as the hot tub, there's a gravelled area with a barbecue and a clever serving hatch through to the kitchen to make life as easy as possible. Climb a few steps and you'll find yourself on the large lawn – perfect for kids to run around on – and there's a superb patio with a glass safety barrier built over the hot tub where you can sip drinks on the sun loungers as the sun sets over the sea.

Just a few steps from your door, you'll find all the shops, cafes and restaurants you could need, and if you tire of playing on the main beach, you can head to nearby Newgale, known for its long stretch of sand popular with windsurfers. If you're exploring further afield, don't miss the little fishing village of Little Haven nearby, or pretty St Davids just half an hour away by car.
