Loom Cottage at Preseli Venture

1 double bedroom • Ensuite bathroom • Wheelchair accessible • Dog friendly • Open all year

Named after the distant loom of Strumble Head lighthouse, Loom Cottage is a peaceful coastal hideaway for couples, solo adventurers, or small families. This thoughtfully designed one-bedroom cottage is part of a charming courtyard of cottages on the gentle slopes of the serene Abermawr Valley, just below the picturesque hilltop village of Mathry. A 20-minute stroll through the ancient woodland brings you to the secluded beach of Abermawr, a perfect spot for picnics, sea swims, barbeques, and frolics with your four-legged friend.

Adventure Awaits on the Pembrokeshire Coast

Conveniently located between Fishguard and St David’s, Loom Cottage is an ideal base for exploring the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, pedalling the Celtic Cycle Trail, discovering the area’s rich cultural heritage, or heading out on a boat trip to the offshore islands. Guests can book a range of boat trips and adventure activities, such as coasteering and kayaking, directly with Preseli Venture, taking the stress out of planning your holiday.

Nature on Your Doorstep

Whether you’re drawn to bright starry skies, coastal wildlife, or the morning chorus, this tranquil retreat puts nature front and centre. Relax on the sunny west-facing patio overlooking a canopy of twisting oaks, or head out from your doorstep on foot to explore National Trust woodland trails, wild beaches, quiet coves and cinematic clifftop views. Loom Cottage is a perfect base for a restorative and inspiring break on this unspoilt stretch of the Welsh coast.

Warm, Welcoming, and Thoughtfully Designed

Inside, the open-plan living space is warm and inviting, with underfloor heating, a smart TV, a comfy sofa, woodburner, workspace, and a well-equipped kitchen. A large picture window frames the valley toward the sea, while floor-to-ceiling glass doors lead to your private patio and the large shared lawn.

Comfortable and Accessible

The cosy double bedroom is a place for deep rest and relaxation, whilst the ensuite bathroom is designed for ease of access, with grab rails, a spacious walk-in shower and a removable shower seat. Extra-wide doorways throughout and a gentle ramp to the main entrance make the cottage fully wheelchair accessible.

Local Flavours and Hidden Gems

Guests can add a welcome hamper filled with delicious local produce. The in-depth welcome pack includes everything from the best nearby eateries to how to order groceries or meals to your door. A short walk along a quiet lane and bridleway takes you to the family-friendly pub in Mathry for hearty meals and a warm welcome. Or take a circular walk to Melin Tregwynt, a historic woollen mill producing iconic weaves, where you’ll also find full breakfasts, wholesome lunches, and indulgent afternoon teas.
