Beachside Cottage
For those believing that 'Location, Location, Location'‚ is
the most important asset of any property, 'Swn-y-Don' (Sound of
the Wave) must be the ideal beachside cottage.
It is located at Poppit Sands in the Pembrokeshire Coast National
Park at the southern end of Cardigan Bay - Britain's first Heritage
Coast and home for Bottle Nose dolphins.
Grid reference: Landranger 145 151486.
Uniquely positioned at the edge of an extensive, gently sloping,
sandy beach it provides spectacular views, whether it be the Teifi
estuary on the right, black rocks on the left or Cardigan Island
directly ahead. The beach is patrolled by a lifesaver during the
summer months and has a very good cleanliness record. In fact a
recent report by universities in Malta, Turkey and Wales concluded
that the beach at Poppit was one of the best five beaches in the
three countries.
The recently modernised property now has storage heaters installed
and is suitable for use all year round, providing an excellent holiday
property for young and old alike. It lies within a SSI (Site of
Special Scientific Interest) and a SAC (Special Area of Conservation).
