Y Berllan Hideaway

Hidden in an peaceful green woodland a short stroll away from the ocean, Y Berllan Hideaway is a spacious handcrafted log cabin that beckons a magical family adventure. Wake to the sound of birds each morning, before enjoying an al fresco breakfast on the balcony, surrounded by leafy trees and ferns. Spend your days at the nearby beach, Cwm yr Eglwys, exploring the rocky shoreline and swimming in the sheltered bay, or venture along Pembrokeshire’s coastline to discover breathtaking views around every corner. And to wind down each evening, gather around the fire pit toasting marshmallows and sipping hot chocolate before falling into a deep slumber.

From the moment you arrive and wander up the cobbled pathway to Y Berllan Hideaway, you’ll be enchanted by its fairytale-esque charm. This rustic wooden cabin is a world away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, nestled in its own woodland glade encompassed by lush greenery. A beautiful, handcrafted verandah wraps around the exterior; the perfect spot for relaxing with a good book amongst the trees.

Inside, the cabin’s charm continues, with floor-to-ceiling wooden cladding and country-style details and furnishings creating a warm, inviting space. The open plan living area provides ample room to unwind, play board games or watch a movie, with soft sofas to curl up in and a cosy woodburner for cooler evenings. There’s plenty of room for your four-legged family members too, who are most welcome to enjoy Y Berllan Hideaway with you. Tuck into a hearty post-beach meal in the dining area – you’ll find everything you need to prepare your favourite dishes from scratch in the fully-stocked kitchen, including an electric oven, fridge, microwave and dishwasher.

In the main bedroom, the comfy double bed looks out over the surrounding woodland, so you can open the blinds to see golden dappled light through the trees as you sip your morning coffee. There are two other bedrooms with single beds, so everyone gets their own space for a peaceful night’s sleep.

In the family-sized bathroom you’ll find a bathtub and a hot shower to wash off the salt and sand at the end of your day on the coast, as well as a washing machine should you need to freshen up your clothes or towels.

The decked balcony and wooden garden furniture offer plenty of opportunities for outdoor dining with views of the ancient woodland, or reclining with a glass of wine whilst the children play in the spacious garden. The trees create a beautiful natural cocoon of privacy around the cabin too – your own little slice of woodland paradise.

As the day comes to a close, fire up the barbecue for a smokey feast under pink sunset skies, then gather around the fire pit as pink fades to inky blue and the glittering stars come out. The cabin’s outdoor fairylights only add to the magic.

With mile-upon-mile of rugged coastline, sweeping sandy beaches and unspoilt countryside on Y Berllan Hideaway’s doorstep, there’s an abundance of natural beauty to discover during your stay. Just a short walk away from the cabin you’ll find the small picturesque beach of Cwm yr Eglwy – though the county of Pembrokeshire is surrounded by ocean on three sides, so there are no shortage of idyllic beaches to explore within driving distance. In fact, this stunning county has the highest concentration of Blue Flag beaches in the UK, so there’s a coastal adventure for everyone here, from rockpooling and wild swimming in hidden coves to sea-kayaking or surfing at one of the many nearby breaks. Walkers will be in their element on the world-renowned Pembrokeshire section of the Wales Coast Path too, with mesmerising scenery and an array of wonderful birdlife and marine life to look out for above and below the craggy cliffs.

If you’re looking for somewhere to sample the local food and drink, there are plenty of excellent eateries in the nearby coastal towns. For a pint of real ale and a hearty lunch, head to The Royal Oak, a historic pub in picturesque Fishguard. Or if freshly-caught seafood in a relaxed setting sounds appealing, try Tides Kitchen & Wine Bar in the market town at Newport.
