The details
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.

Spectacular property in a fantastic location. Very spacious and comfortable throughout, with beautifully planted gardens, and lots of thoughtful touches and provisions. We were hoping to enjoy a memorable family holiday to celebrate a special birthday occasion and couldn't have been happier! Plenty of relaxation and amusement options for all (three generations and a dog) within the house and pool area, plus walks from the front gate and a 10-minute saunter down to the dunes and beautiful beach. Highly recommended!
