Riverside Bothy In Heart of Scenic Harbour Village
Summary:
Salt & City Stays are pleased to introduce 'Y Bothy' which is a centrally located one-bedroom cottage in the heart of the picturesque harbour town of Solva. You couldn't be closer to everything this delightful fishing village has to offer. Tucked away on a private road just a moment’s walk from the harbour, restaurants, pubs, independents shops and Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Built for two with all you need to create your ultimate cosy getaway on the St. Davids Peninsula.
The Space:
Enter the cottage into the fully equipped kitchen, with gas hob, washer/dryer, small fridge/freezer and a bright dining space. The kitchen has everything you need for a self-catering stay; rustle up a hearty supper or relaxed breakfast, with coffee from the Nespresso coffee machine, and enjoy your meal around the dining table together.
Step through the oak cottage door into the cosy living room with a comfy corner sofa. It's the perfect spot to crash out and watch Netflix on the Smart TV or enjoy a good book or board game. The sofa converts into a double sofa bed providing sleeping space for up to 4 people in the Bothy.
The ground floor also includes the downstairs bathroom with the spacious walk-in shower, basin and heated towel rail.
Head upstairs, to find the cosy double bedroom with ensuite WC and plenty of clothes storage. The Velux window gives views over the garden and woodland behind, and being on a quiet lane; you're sure to have a peaceful night's sleep.
Heading outside, you'll find the garden patio area located on the first tier of the garden with a dining area and access to the built-in bbq for Summer nights eating Al fresco.

You have the entire cottage, and the first level of the tiered garden, to yourself. You may use the charcoal BBQ on the next level.

The cottage was perfect for our few days in Solva. It was comfortable and quiet, despite being right in the centre of the village. It's a beautiful area and we loved it.
Although conveniently located just off the main route between Haverfordwest & St David’s, the cottage is also tucked away in a quiet location literally just a stone’s throw from the beach, harbour, eateries & everything else Solva has to offer. Solva is a wonderful location - vibrant & beautiful. The cottage is compact, cosy and well appointed - a perfect location in beautiful Pembrokeshire
We stayed at this property on the 2nd and 3rd June 2024.
The property was as described on the internet.
It had everything we needed for a self catering holiday.
