Camelot - A Self Catering Cottage on the Pembrokeshire Coast
This holiday cottage named Camelot is situated on the old harbour wall on the Parrog at Newport, Pembrokeshire in west Wales overlooking the beautiful estuary of the River Nevern and Newport Bay.
It is a conversion of a 300-year old slate-built store building and is the ideal location for a short break or longer stay in the wonderful Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
Camelot offers marvelous views across the tidal estuary which is frequented by a wealth of shore birds. The imposing sand dunes of Traeth Mawr and seawards to Newport Bay are framed by the Dinas and Morfa headlands and then back towards the "mountain of angels", Carn Ingli dominates the village.
With its two feet thick walls, double glazing and electric heating, Camelot is snug and comfortable all year round.
You enter the cottage through its Sun Porch with bench seating and an oak table which makes it an excellent all-year round spot for your meals.
The Sitting/Dining Room with television / video / CD player, enjoys the views out to sea, up the river or back towards Carn Ingli and, for winter stays, you can enjoy a blazing coal and log fire.
The Kitchen is fully equipped with a double oven electric cooker, top of the range microwave with grill and oven,
washing machine with built-in dryer and dishwasher plus a food processor for you to prepare your vegetables and enjoy a cup of filter coffee.
The "Yellow and Green Bedrooms" both have double beds, bedside drawer sets and spacious wardrobes with views out to sea towards and up river. The Bunk Room has two single bunks and a wardrobe. The toilet is separate from the bathroom which is equipped with a bath, electric shower and airing cupboard.
Camelot provides the ideal holiday accommodation for all those that wish to explore this area of Wales, particularly for Families with children of all ages as you are right on the
water's edge of the relatively safe Nevern Estuary with the magnificent Big Sands or Traeth Mawr just a simple walk away across the Nevern.
Bird watchers have a doorstep vantage point to watch the gulls and waders that frequent the Estuary and with just a short trip inland, the variety increases to include red kites, buzzards, dippers, kingfishers etc., etc. Golfers have Newport Golf Course within easy walking or "driving" distance across the estuary and the Priskilly Forest course is just 10 miles away to the south.
Dinghy sailors, windsurfers and powerboat enthusiasts have the Nevern Estuary for safe boating and for the more adventurous, the wider Newport bay with its many bays is definitely worth exploring.
Stacks of room around the cottage will allow you ease of parking for your cars, boats,trailers and the beach nearby is easy to launch from. Also, Newport Boat Club is just 50 yards away with its famous bar,
regular sailing events and they welcome occasional members.
The high hills and mountains of Cribarth, Carreg Goch and Fforest Fawr are unspoilt wilderness areas with commanding views of the surrounding terrain. There are also numerous heritage sites and places of historical interest which have been linked to form a whole series of published walks in the Upper Swansea Valley.
Walkers will find that Camelot is located just off the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path which stretches around the perimeter of the National Park,
or you may prefer to follow the pilgrim's routes up the course of the Nevern, or climb Carn Ingli and its fellow peaks in the Preseli range.
