Willow Cottage

Willow Cottage is a cosy stone cottage nestled in the hills above Little Haven with beautiful sea views from the living rooms, bedrooms and garden. The cottage looks out over a wooded valley and cliff-top fields to St Brides Bay, with St David’s in the distance on the far side. The cottage is just 10 minutes’ walk from the beach, in a quiet, secluded spot with no passing traffic.

A meandering woodland path, mostly gentle in gradient with a few steeper parts, leads down to the village and beach. The village is full of interest, with a pottery craft shop, galleries with local artists’ work, a tea room overlooking the beach, and a number of other eating places. An old slipway leads onto the beach, where children can investigate rock pools and adults laze in the sun. It is also used by boating enthusiasts who moor their boats above the high water mark.

When the tide is out, visitors may walk across the sands to Broad Haven, and for those who wish to go further, the coastal path leads to many isolated coves and inlets. Broad Haven itself is a somewhat larger village with a post office and grocery store. It is popular with water sports enthusiasts, with plenty to choose from, including surfing, windsurfing, kiteboarding, and sea kayaking. Willow is one of ten cottages converted from traditional stone-built barns, and together, they are still known as Woodlands Farm.
