Summer Holidays
Summer holidays in self-catering cottages offer an unparalleled experience for a multitude of reasons. These accommodations combine the comforts of home with the freedom to explore and enjoy new destinations, making them an ideal choice.
Flexibility and Freedom
Self-catering cottages provide unmatched flexibility, allowing holidaymakers to set their own schedules. Unlike hotels with fixed meal times and housekeeping routines, cottages give guests the freedom to eat, sleep, and explore at their own pace. This autonomy is particularly beneficial for large groups as then everyone can do their own thing as well as enjoy time together.
For larger parties and groups seeking a memorable stay in Pembrokeshire, the charming accommodations at Bangeston Farmhouse and Bangeston Barn in Angle are ideal, featuring a delightful woodburning hot tub at the Farmhouse for a touch of luxury. Additionally, Manorbier Holiday Cottages provide a range of inviting options including Hafod, Delfryn, and Ty Mor, each offering unique character and comfort. These cottages together ensure a wonderful experience, blending the serenity of the countryside with convenient access to local attractions.
Home Comforts
Staying in a self-catering cottage means having access to a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable living spaces, and often additional amenities such as a garden or patio. This setup offers a home-away-from-home experience, which is perfect for those who enjoy cooking their meals and relaxing in a private, luxury environment.

Privacy and Space
Cottages typically offer more privacy and space compared to hotels. This is ideal for those seeking a peaceful retreat, away from the hustle and bustle of crowded tourist areas. With entire properties to themselves, guests can enjoy a more intimate and secluded vacation experience, which is especially appealing during summer when popular destinations can be crowded.
