This stylish holiday home is nestled into a hillside overlooking the spectacular Pembrokeshire coast, offering breathtaking views of the sea. It's the perfect spot for a seaside getaway with family or friends with a pristine sandy beach just a short stroll away, hidden coves to discover and coastal trails to explore. The house itself has been designed in a contemporary yet simple way, putting that stunning view front and centre, so you can soak it up whether you're relaxing in the living room, having a drink on the balcony or enjoying a dip in the heated swimming pool.

As the house is built on a hillside that slopes down towards the sea, the front door opens directly onto the upper level and the floor-to-ceiling windows opposite means the first thing you'll see is the view. The open-plan living space feels bright and airy thanks to those big, south-facing windows letting in plenty of natural light. Relax on the comfy sofa and soak up the scenery or get stuck into a good film on the Smart TV once the sun has set. There's a fully-equipped contemporary kitchen with an electric Aga and a dishwasher, making catering for yourselves a breeze.

Enjoy your meals together at the spacious dining table set in front of the windows, or slide open the glass doors that open out onto the terrace. This is also a lovely spot to while away a sunny afternoon on one of the sun loungers while enjoying the refreshing sea breeze and taking in the views. Head down to the large, landscaped garden on the lower level and go for a refreshing dip in the pool, followed by a late lunch cooked on the BBQ. There's also a pool house which has its own kitchenette, shower room and table tennis table so you can enjoy an uninterrupted day down by the pool.

There are four bedrooms in total, one of which you'll find on the upper level, offering beautiful sea views from the comfort of your bed. Wake up in the mornings and open the sliding doors onto another section of the terrace and enjoy a cup of coffee while looking out over the water. The other three bedrooms are located on the lower level which you can access via the stairs or by the lift. Two of the bedrooms have luxurious super-king size beds and ensuites. One of these can be set up as a twin if preferred and the final room has a king size bed and access to a family shower room. These bedrooms on the lower level all have direct access onto the garden so you can enjoy the fresh sea air from the moment you wake up or go straight down for a refreshing swim before breakfast.

The Matchbox is located in the village of Freshwater East, nestled into Pembrokeshire's stunning coast and overlooking a sandy bay. Head down to the beach to swim in the clear waters or try your hand at some water sports such as surfing, paddleboarding or kayaking. Set off along the coastal path for yet more breathtaking views of the rugged cliffs and blue seas. If you fancy doing a bit of exploring, you'll find the bustling town of Tenby just along the coast with its colourful houses overlooking a picturesque harbour. Venture further into Pembrokeshire and discover medieval fortresses, historic estates, nature reserves and more beautiful beaches.

    Wilder Retreats is home to six contemporary A-frame cabins set in the midst of a 24-acre re-wilding project with views of the Pembrokeshire coastline. The cabins’ floor-to-ceiling windows look out over land where more than 3,000 trees have been planted, wildflower meadows are being cultivated and large areas of wetlands created. As a result, you’ll be surrounded by a rich array of flora and fauna that feels a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This is the perfect spot for couples or friends to slow down the pace and relax while reconnecting with nature. Each of the cabins is positioned with a seven-metre glass front facing west out to St Brides Bay on the Pembrokeshire coast. You’ll be able to enjoy the view and soak up the stunning sunsets whether you’re tucked up in bed, relaxing in front of the log burner or preparing dinner in the kitchen. Thanks to these huge windows and the open plan design, your cabin will feel bright and spacious during the day. You’ll find everything you need in the fully-equipped kitchen to rustle up favourite meals and the dining table is set in prime position for enjoying the scenery while you eat. As the evening draws in, soft lighting and a fire crackling away in the log burner will transform the space into a cosy hideaway, inviting you to snuggle up on the sofa and choose a board game to play. The luxurious king size bed is located at the top of the spiral staircase on the mezzanine level. This elevated position offers even more spectacular views through the cabin’s glass front. You’ll find a rainfall shower in the spacious bathroom for a rejuvenating shower after a trip to the beach. You might also fancy a dip in the private wood-fired hot tub where you can relax while surrounded by nature. On warmer days, step out onto your private patio and enjoy the peace and quiet while relaxing on the comfortable lounging furniture. When it’s time for lunch, prepare yourselves a picnic in the kitchen and take this out to the lawn area and soak up the sunshine. The cabins are perfectly located for exploring the spectacular Pembrokeshire coastline with the nearest beaches less than 10 minutes away by car. Relax on the sandy shores or head to the vibrant Milford Marina where you’ll find restaurants and bars that overlook the water. There are also plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities from paddleboarding and kayaking to coasteering and rock climbing. To learn a bit more about this beautiful part of Wales, head a little further along the coast to the picturesque town of Tenby or historic St. Davids.
