Outdoor heated swimming pool (12m x 5m, depth 2.9ft - 6.0ft, shared with other properties on-site, seasonal opening). Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking.. Delve into this beautiful part of Pembrokeshire with a cluster of four traditional Welsh cottages at Dinas Country Club, which once formed part of an old monastery built over 650 years ago. The cottages were originally the barns and chapel and have now been lovingly restored, maintaining all of the original character and charm including beams, each cottage is nestled in the carefully manicured 22 acres of lawned grounds at the Dinas Country Club and surrounded by woodland. The cottages are within walking distance of Dinas Cross a small hamlet and all its amenities on the dramatic north Pembrokeshire coast and within the Pembrokeshire National Park. A coastal path runs through the site which formed part of the old pilgrims’ trail, indeed there is even a ’holy’ well where the monks would offer sustenance to pilgrims on their annual journey to St Davids. The footpath leads down to the pretty beaches of Cwm yr Eglwys, Pwllgwaelod and Aberfforest, with their scenic sea views of Dinas Head island.
Old Chapel Cottage was the former chapel and is a perfect romantic retreat, teeming with character with exposed stone walls, flagged floors, beams, tiny arrow slit alcoves, and in the kitchen a fantastic domed ceiling. Externally you can enjoy dining al fresco with a barbecue in your enclosed lawned garden complete with a patio area for sitting out. On an evening enjoy a movie curled up in front of the wood burner or a glass of wine in the garden. The bedroom has been lovingly furnished throughout offering a great night’s sleep.
The cottage enjoys all facilities on-site including a clubhouse dating back to the 13th century with beautiful log fire, the clubhouse offers real ales and is open at weekends, outdoor heated pool (seasonal opening), communal Wi-Fi, on-site bar, children’s play park and play field. Nearby a footpath takes you to the pretty coves of Cwm yr Eglwys, Pwllgwaelod, Aberfforest a 10 to 15-minute walk away. Walks abound in this coastal National Park, take in the scenery and the trail around Dinas Island and the village facilities of Dinas Cross are all within a short walk away. A fantastic day out for places to visit include Oakwood, Wales’ largest theme park, Heatherton World of Activities and Folly Farm Zoo, and all are within a 45-minute drive. A great day out for all is the walled town of Tenby, complete with beach, cobbled streets and a beautiful harbour. Why not take one of the many boat trips out and around this stunning coastline to discover the vast array of sea life and hopefully the resident dolphins. Beach 500 yards. Shop 1 yard, pub and restaurant 20 yards.

Just returned from a wonderful stay here at The Old Chapel cottage.
Just returned from a wonderful stay here at The Old Chapel cottage. From arrival to departure it was total relaxation, high levels of comfort & everywhere in the cottage was spotlessly clean.Being Christmas week the bar was only open for a few hours on Christmas Eve, understandable, but we popped in for a drink & it was really nice & cosy with a log fire & friendly staff.Could the owners improve on perfection.....I don't see how they could. Perhaps if they replaced the current bed with a King sized one, for just a few inches more wriggle room, but it's pretty much perfect as it is & we'll certainly be returning.

Fantastic.
Fantastic. 3 pubs within easy walking distance, a garage with a shop selling local produce and a fish and chip shop .The old chapel is beautiful and set in a lovely country club with its own clubhouse and the coastal footpath runs through leading you to beaches on both sides. Stunning.

As the cottage featured a log burner I would have expected firelighters, matches to be available.
