Cottages in Tenby

Tenby sits on the south coast of Wales, but its outlook is south east. Holiday cottages in Tenby with sea views and immediate access to the beach are therefore to the east of the town. However, Tenby is only a small town so no matter where you stay, you’ll be within easy reach of the seaside, shops, cafes and attractions. Tenby has two main beaches, North Beach and South Beach separated by Castle Hill, former stronghold and now home to the town’s museum. A wonderful resort town with lots to do for all the family!

Many of the holiday cottages in Tenby are Victorian style townhouses which tend to be bigger inside than they seem from the outside, but which guarantee cosy home-away-from-home living.
