Holiday Cottages & Accommodation in Tenby

Known as "Little England Beyond Wales", Tenby delights with its pubs, ice cream parlours and cafes that are perfect for people-watching. Popular among the town's attractions is the glassblower demonstrating his craft — you can even buy some handcrafted ornamental glassware here. The 15th-century St Mary's Church is hard to miss with its towering spire and carved ceiling bosses.

Walk down to the harbour from your holiday cottage and take a cruise to the monastic Caldey Island, a haven for bird watchers and an oasis of calm. Tenby’s Welsh name, Dinbych-y-Pysgod, translates as 'Little Fortress of the Fish'. A fishing expedition will prove this name quite right. Meanwhile, the sandy Freshwater East Beach beguiles with its scenic coastal paths, sand dunes and wildlife.

Fancy riding through Welsh dramatic coasts and woodlands on a handsome horse? Look no further than Nolton Stables where even novices are welcome. For insider information on Tenby's resident pirates, aliens and witches, try the Tenby Ghost Walk, which takes visitors through some of the town's eeriest corners. And afterwards, come home and unwind in your Tenby holiday letting.

For sweeping views of Caldey Island, head to the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path. The rival village of Saunderfoot lies just three miles away from Tenby and has a nice harbour, a sandy beach and cafes. Those in the mood to venture further out can drive down Wales' south-west coast to discover its rugged landscapes and unique culture.
