Seller InsightPorthgain is a pretty coastal hamlet on St David’s Peninsula. Gently surrounded by the beautiful countryside of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, and with peaceful beaches along its stunning coastline, it is an idyllic setting for a restful and

restorative holiday. Harbour View provides this experience.

Harbour View is a large and attractive five bedroom house that stands above the village; only a few minutes walk to the harbour, the excellent local pub and award winning Shed Restaurant. For twelve years it has been a highly successful holiday let for the present owners, who are now retiring to pursue other interests.

It is an inviting house that easily accommodates ten people, and the guest book is full of compliments, from visitors who have returned annually for ten years, to comments that although amazing in summer weather, even a wet day cannot dampen the spirits of its guests.

The reception rooms are both spacious and comfortable. The well equipped kitchen is perfect for the keen cook, and is a very sociable space. Everyone can gather round the long dining table for chatty meals, and afterwards retire to relax in the first floor lounge. It is an all year room, where you can open the doors to enjoy summer al fresco dining on the patio, and also hunker down before the winter warmth of the wood burning stove.

The front facing windows give a great wow factor to Harbour View. They allow you to watch the changing sky and sea across the bay. The drama of approaching turbulent grey clouds that presage a dramatic winter storm: or a blue summer sky and sparkling waves. The most beautiful spectacle is provided by the glowing colours of the sunset. It is no surprise that the house has such a light and calm ambience.

The hot tub on the rear patio is perhaps the place to ease away the aches of a long walk or simply savour the pleasure of a glass of wine under a starry sky. For the active there are many superb walks, sandy beaches and kayaking on the bay. The nearby towns of St David’s and Fishguard are pleasant to visit. The area has something for every age group. The owners say that over the years Harbour View has let itself. It has been the ideal venue for large family celebrations; keen walkers, those who want to spend time on the sea, or just relax. Whatever the reason for the stay, they are confident that the house and the area ensure everyone leaves fully rested and energised.


This fantastic property is situated above the popular seaside village of Porthgain. Set over three floors it has five bedrooms, and is currently operated as a highly successful five star holiday let property. It would be ideal as a family home, or could be an excellent source of additional income. Porthgain nestles in the beautiful North Pembrokeshire coastline. The world renowned Pembrokeshire Coast footpath passes through the bottom of the village. The ever popular restaurant The Shed, and The Sloop pub is a short walk away. Croesgoch is a few minutes’ drive, and has a primary school, public house and art gallery, and is situated mid-way between the Cathedral City of St Davids and the harbour town of Fishguard, with its ferry terminal to Ireland, leisure centre, shops, schools and supermarket.
